iPhone Cable Release Tip

Under the George Washington Bridge

There are three camera applications I frequently use that allow the use of a cable release to trigger the exposure. When I say cable release I mean an iPod remote headphone adapter as pictured in the link below.The three camera applications are the iPhone internal camera, Pro Camera and Camera+. Simply push the +/plus on the remote and it will trigger the camera.

Both of these cameras will also trigger using the + on the side of the phone, err camera but having a cable release helps reduce shake specifically if using the HDR setting in the iPhone internal camera. Can be a useful tool in low light also.


Also on my 4s if you hold down the +/plus it triggers rapid fire while in Camera+. if you hold down the +/plus or -/minus that also triggers rapid fire in ProCamera. I am not sure this works on previous iPhone iterations....I am told in the iPhone internal camera holding down the -/minus will focus the camera but I have not tested that as yet...

Anyone else have knowledge of other camera application that do something similar? Also I happen to use the remote shown above but it will also work on most headsets that have +/-...

Postcard from the Edge

'One Way' Postcard from the Edge

Seems like my visit to Cape May put me in a nostalgic New Jersey mood....Having grown up in Atlantic City I thought why not try to create a postcard reminiscent of the good old days - meaning 1950'ish - complete kitsch..... A combination of an old post card and a Polaroid transfer look.....made with modern technology....

Original image was made with my iPhone4s.......I also used photoshopcs5, NIK Color EFX4 and then sharpened with Pixel Genius 2....
