By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Aug 29, 2012 a 11:24 am

It's time to announce this week's photo contest -- HDR! A few days ago, I published an article about HDR photography, so now it's time for you to put your new learned skills to the test. You can stick with the built-in HDR feature of the iPhone's camera, or use one of the many HDR apps that can be found in the App Store.

Congrats to Tatum22 for winning last week's photo contest!

How to take awesome HDR photos with your iPhone

By Leanna Lofte, Monday, Aug 27, 2012 a 2:24 am

Have you ever wondered what that HDR toggle in your iPhone's camera options is for? And why you want to use it? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to a scene that includes both bright and dark elements -- the sun, reflecting off water, with deep shadows in the tree lines, or even a regularly lit person standing against the glare of an open window. When we talk about HDR photography, we are referring to taking photographs of such scenes. Unfortunately, unlike the human eye, camera sensors need a little extra help to get that done. So, in this week's iPhoneography column, we're going to discuss more details about HDR and how best use your iPhone's camera to get the most dynamically awesome photos ever.

iPhone 4S 8MP camera hands on

By Leanna Lofte, Sunday, Oct 16, 2011 a 3:40 pm

One of the new features of the iPhone 4S is an 8 megapixel camera equipped with a fast f/2.4 lens. Without question, this was the feature I was most excited about, and I almost immediately started snapping pics.

For sample photos and a summary of my thoughts, follow along after the break! (All photos are original; none have been edited in any way beyond being resized to fit the page.)

Daily Tip: How to stop the HDR camera mode storing two pictures in your Camera Roll

By chrissyboy6969, Thursday, Aug 25, 2011 a 2:37 pm

Annoyed by the Camera app storing double pictures in HDR mode and wondering how to stop it? Apple introduced an HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to the iPhone 4 camera with iOS 4.1 and if used in the right circumstances can produce some much improved camera shots. Unfortunately, the way it works can cause a problem if your device is short of storage space. When HDR is turned on, the camera is actually taking four pictures, combining three of them into the HDR picture and saving the normal image in your camera roll. If you don’t want to save the normal picture in your camera roll as well as the HDR version, there is simple way to stop it happening, read on and we will show you how.

How to enable iOS 4.1 HDR photography on iPhone 3G and 3GS [Jailbreak]

By Allyson Kazmucha, Tuesday, Sep 14, 2010 a 8:46 am

iOS 4.1 HDR photography comes from Imsense acquisition?

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Sep 13, 2010 a 1:10 pm

iOS 4.1 includes HDR photography for iPhone 4, but did Apple roll the technology themselves or did they buy it along with UK company Imsense Ltd? MacRumors has done some sleuthing and they think the latter:

According to a note on the website of Braveheart Ventures, which backed imsense, the company was acquired by "an undisclosed trade buyer in July 2010". According to a press release from Braveheart, it received £342,000 for its minority stake in imsense, more than doubling its original £150,000 investment in two years.

No HDR photography for iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS?

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Sep 7, 2010 a 10:54 am

While we won't know for absolutely certain until the final release version of iOS 4.1 for iPhone arrives sometime this week (maybe Wednesday), it's looking like HDR photography will be exclusive to iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4, and not available for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users.
