I’ve already mentioned that if you want a to take a steady shot with your iPhone, you’re best using a Glif and Tripod combo – especially if you’re shooting a video.

How to transfer video from the Canon 7D to the iPad
Transferring data from the Canon 7D to the iPad seems to be a troublesome activity for most of the people I speak to – or when they approach me in coffee bars once they’ve noticed me with my iPad plugged into the Canon reviewing recently shot footage. Transferring movies from the iPad not only gives [...]
Using the volume button take a photo on the iPhone
Given that I’m a fan of the Camera+ application, I was more than happy to find out that they’ve re-introduced the “Volume Plus” option to activate the shutter in the same way that apple introduced it with iOS 5 for the native camera app. However, there’s another way to activate the shutter using the soon [...]
What’s the most popular smartphone to take pictures with?
The November 9th student protests were a perfect opportunity to observe the behaviour of not just the students and police officers but also the people on the street “observing”. Thankfully, unlike recent protests there was very little unrest (a few individuals targeted by undercover officers) so most of my attention was drawn to the large [...]

Photosynth – the must have app for the iPhone Thursday edition
Following the theme of the week, apps for the iPhone 4s, I’m going to focus on Photosynth. Once just a lab experiment from Microsoft called ICE (image composite editor) and limited to the windows platform, the photosynth application made its way to the iOS platform.

Must have app of the day – iMovie for the iPhone 4s
I’ve seen a number of comparisons of the iPhone 4s against the usual android suspects and even the Canon DSLRs (5D mkII and 7D) but none of them address the low light test. So, while visiting the Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Tate Modern, I took some test shots in the public areas and put [...]
