Apple innovation photography with iPhone?

Increase the quality of pictures taken with smartphone, improved filtering applications, easy photo sharing, Flickr dominate ... the impact of iPhone photography no less.
According to the biography of Steve Jobs, when alive, he always wanted to revolutionize the photography industry, and partly Jobs can achieve that goal. Author Walter Isaacson's biography reads as follows: "There are three things he wanted to reform it: Television, books and photography."
While extreme photographers will ask "what data can do with an iPhone?" Undeniable camera has steadily developed over time and if you consider the best camera is the machine pictures you always carry with you, the iPhone may deserve the best camera in the bag several million people worldwide.
We can see the camera has been improved so that each sample through iPhone picture quality camera compares the "generations" of Apple's smartphone from iPhone to iPhone 4S:

"Rank of photographers depend on device"?

In September, the Nikon Facebook page filled with comments about a post with the statement: "A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses," stirred a big debate. Here we do not discuss the above statement is true or not, but just assume it is true, so photographers using iPhone ranked in?
When we talk about the smartphone photography, we can be sure iPhone users 4S set and the most convenient location, not only for quality but also by many camera applications, camera accessories that are can take advantage.
In addition to a wealth of free applications as well as shooting are charged at the iTunes App Store, there are many interesting facilities to improve iPhone photography: the type of lens for the iPhone as Fisheye and Telephoto is price of 35 USD, or $ 25 Holga Lens iPhone will give you tons more options.
In fact, these accessories can prove that Steve Jobs has achieved exactly what he wanted. While other smartphone types can be equipped with better camera, higher resolution, better than the lens but for some reason, improvements of these products can not be compared with the iPhone.
The next question is: Is it possible to compare iPhone with a SLR camera?

Beginner Digital Camera website compared the iPhone camera Canon 500D and 4S. This comparison shows that all iPhone 4S dominant in most cases and rather interesting conclusion: If you do not want to carry dozens of domains Kinh different lenses and have a habit of setting mode Auto and let the camera do all the work themselves, iPhone 4S will better meet your needs. Conversely, if you want to manually adjust the image quality, shooting experience, the iPhone 4S can sometimes make you angry.
The real comparison is not conducted with SLR digital camera that "point-and-shoot". 4S iPhone is clearly the winner. Not only impressive quality camera, in an era of social media and sharing information, 4S iPhone also lets you download photos directly from your device to Facebook, Twitter or any other photo sharing sites that you you want.

Instagram adverse impacts on photography?

Some people may say that the iPhone certainly has changed photography but not in the direction of better. With the increase in applications like Instagram, Hipstamatic, PicPlz. ., IPhone photography work is processed through the filter has dominated social networks in the same way that iPhone Flickr dominance.
The problem with such applications lies in Instagram, people capture and share pictures of ordinary things that no one shot and they think that any image that is appropriate to share as long as the filter processing reason. They share all the pictures taken before the bathroom mirror, bad eating breakfast, etc. ..

Is this "error" is not a custom of Instagram point each. But surely such an application the user has Instagram "means" to feel the sharing of photos without quality is a good idea.
In fact, the strength of Instagram is that it creates a community experience. Part of the appeal of Instagram coming from the filter, can be regarded as one of the best smartphone applications. Instagram gives an opportunity to share pictures, but if you look at a more professional way, whether the application has been qualified as Instagram?
A few months ago, Foreign Policy magazine released a series of photographs taken in Afghanistan by photographer Balazs Gardi. Balazs Gardi devices that use nothing more than an iPhone and Hipstamatic application.
If the series of photos of the Foreign Policy can prove anything, it would be: If used by the right people in place, along with other iPhone applications such as Instagram and Hipstamatic can create beautiful images, full of art and have lasting value.

iPhone downgraded to Flickr?

With each new version of the Apple iPhone topped the list of "The photographic equipment most popular" on Flickr. This happened to iPhone 4, and most recently the iPhone 4S. In fact, if you look at 5 popular camera phones on Flickr least, there are four of the Apple device.

The fact that the iPhone is not just beat all the other smartphones, but also beyond your DSLR and point-and-shoot on Flickr was partly proved iPhone be used as how many cameras.
Flickr has a huge archive of images creative life, is popular with people who love photography. But that's not entirely good news for Flickr. In addition the user is moving from Flickr to 500px.com - like Flickr photo collection, but have poor quality image filtering and become a reliable address of talented photographers. Some professional photographers like Thomas Hawk has expressed disappointment when Flickr has become "a stagnant services".
Flickr is a convenient option to upload photos directly from iPhone to the Internet. This service has dominated the field of sharing photos over the years. Like Instagram, Flickr is a community, there are many groups of users to build connections here.
As users increasingly want to share photos on the move, Flickr continue to meet their needs. But for those photographers really care about the quality of the image as texture or any standards that Flickr is no longer the place they want to, Flickr degraded. Previously, a former employee of Yahoo has been voiced that Flickr needs to maintain its reputation by releasing a service like Instagram.

The iPhone "challenges" Flip Video

iPhone, and a handful of other smartphone brands, though slowly but clearly is entering the market point-and-shoot, and this is not the only market affected. With an impressive video recording capabilities of the iPhone, iPhone 4 has proved to be a formidable competitor to the Flip Video as in "Apple of mi eye" was shot and edited entirely on iPhone 4.



Like photography, users can film, edit and publish video directly from an impressive phone.

When talking about the choice between an iPhone and point-and-shoot camera or a Flip video, obviously there are many tools on the device will be more convenient. Also, you do not have to spend much money to buy other equipment attached.

iPhone 4S certainly impressive, if not more than 4 as in iPhone video 'Let's dance "below:
