Award-winning photographer Annie Leibovitz was recently asked in an interview what camera she would recommend to people today. Without hesitation she reached into her bag and pulled out her iPhone and said the camera on the iPhone is the snapshot camera of today.
Portable and always at hand, the camera phones have a whole new generation of people taking more pictures than ever before.
In the 1980's a cheap plastic camera called the Hipstamatic 100 was developed but had no commercial success. Its look has been resurrected as an iPhone application and is now one of the most popular downloads.
This easy to use application provides a wide range of retro effects for the photographs you take with your iPhone. With choices of lens, film types and flashes you can make your pictures have a distinct analog look.
There are other camera apps available as well, instagram being one of the most popular. Readers are invited to send their best photos taken on their phones to us and we will put them onto our website Photo Gallery under the heading Favourite Phone Photos. Send your photo, your name and a description to [email protected].
