Very minimal editing which was done on the iPhone. 

iPhone Photography is the iFuture of imaging

Sound a little crazy? Yes? In all honesty many Pro's I know consider it a amateurs camera. There's little seriousness placed into the thought of a iPhone replacing a DSLR camera. For the past 6 months I've been strictly using my iPhone 4/4s & recently iPhone 5 for all my shooting (except once or twice where I used a Canon or Leica.) 

Take a look at this low light example here: 

 

I happened to see this on my way home from dinner the other night. I stopped & captured this with my iPhone system. 

Here's a 100% crop:

I gotta say that's pretty dam good. Not only for a tiny image censor but also the detail that's retained in the pixels.

 My iPhoneography has gotten to the point where I've developed a perfect kit for my style of shooting & developing. One thing I suggest is not to "over app" your image to the point where it appears cartoonish unless that's your artistic taste. 

I was recently in NYC. I wanted to capture a sunrise shot from my rooftop. Let's take a look: 

I couldn't believe the level of detail that I was yet again able to pull. The Dynamic Range is incredible. Sharpness? Oh yea it's there. 

How about a stroll around Los Angeles

Let's go back to NYC. Wonderful place to photograph.

Here's a image of the Empire State Building I captured with my iPhone 5. 

I'm continually impressed with the iPhone. My kit is evolving & it's a whole new learning approach to Photography. 

Would love to hear your feedback.

IPhoneography

As a Photographer I'm am floored with emerging technology evolving around imaging. I've recently been using only my iPhone for creating photos on the go.
Here's a few samples using my iProlens system & iPhone 4/s

I love automobiles and the Peterson Automotive Museum on Miracle Mile delivers.

Using the iProlens system with my iPhone.

I've been crazy about my iPhone since I got my first one. I'm floored with the possibilities that pocket computing is able to accomplish. As you know I'm a photographer and I have used many, many types of cameras professionally and for pleasure.

Recently for a EDC (every day carry) I downsized my DSLR to a Leica D-Lux 5 which I find to be an amazing camera. I was able to get that camera into venues, parties, & street shooting. The one thing thing that was always with me is my iPhone. So, I started researching options for my camera phone. The two that I explored were the Ollio Clip (sp) and the iProlens. I'm not going to get into specs here.
I wanted quality and flexibility. I've known about Schneider optics for a along time. I initially bought both systems and ended up choosing the iProlens. I like the mounting options & I have larger hands which made the larger system easier for me.

I'm floored! I'm shooting a iPhone 4S and while the quality isn't quite Leica quality. It will be in a matter of 3-5 years. I also purchased the 2x tele and plan on shooting head shots with it here in Hollywood. I'll keep you updated and share my favorite images.

All the best
