Post your favourite iPhone images.

This is the Cell phone and Camera phone section, a place to share our favourite iPhone images.


Even though I shoot thousands of photo’s every year usually throwing away at east 5 for everyone I keep, last year 2024… I kept over 1000 cell phone photos and over 600 DSLR photos. Given that iPhones are the most commonly used cameras on flickr, with Canon in second, I can see this cutting into camera sales even more as they get better. The low light capacity of these phone sis very good, probably due to some in camera stacking, it shoots raw, and at 24mm equivalent it shoots 48 MP and the images hold up compared with my 36 MP FF.

Some examples….

My wildlife images still require a DSLR,.

The same “everything in focus” look that makes phone images good for landscape, works against it in small sibject, subject isolation
I tried to see how bad it is. It’s pretty bad….

Everything has it’s strengths and weaknesses. A good photographer will know what equipment is best for what situation, and choose appropriately. Just like 110 cameras once had a place, then small sensor digital, phones have exceeded both those by a considerable margin.


But for less than 100 mm, the iPhone has pretty much taken over. MY wife is having a similar time with her Google Pixel 7.

Being too lazy to find my proper phone-to-camera-to-PC cables, sometimes I just do phone snaps of the playback panel on my "real cameras".

Examples here:

I stole this idea from a friend who would do phone snaps of the focus panel images on view cameras rather than waste money on 4x5 or 8x10 film.

Altho I mainly think of the phone as a sketch book, in challenging lighting conditions the "flaws" of its relatively feeble mini imaging system add a certain something that I prefer over the cleaner images of my more capable "real cameras".

Peeps have trouble calling me cuz my phone has been constantly busy. Heres a few of my keepers. These have never visited my PC, but the phone does have some built-in editing features for color, contrast, cropping and such.

The moire pattern (bird sailing above trees) is not produced by editing. That pic is done by using the phone to rephotograph (copy) an image displayed on a camera monitor.

Except for the red rope and flying bird, these are night time scenes ... some quite obvious, others not, such as the crows sleeping on a frozen river.

Here are some of my favorites. A few photos of my friends using portrait mode, and a few from recent travels. I don't take nearly as many photos on my phone as I probably should.
