iOS 4.1 HDR Pictures

The HDR function will be available in iOS 4.1 that will come out next week ( GM already available to developers ), and it will be built right in to the native Camera application. By combining these three photos, iOS 4.1 uses “pretty sophisticated algorithms” to produce an HDR photo.

We’ve seen some amazing photos shot with the iPhone 4 back in June. Now, let’s take a look at some iPhone 4 HDR photos. The HDR function will be available in iOS 4.1 that will come out next week ( GM already available to developers ), and it will be built right in to the native Camera application.

HDR Camera for iPhone

stonehenge_hdr_by_ilpavone20041

This may or may not be an enhacement to our beloved iPhone. It’s all about the taste, your photography experience and some other factors. I just tested this app, and i dont like it, but not necesarelly that the iPhone’s camera sucks ( and NO, more MP doesent mean nothing.so dont expect too much from the next gen iPhones ) and i tend to believe that the light, angle, time of the day (which corelates with the light) were not my best choice.

First let’s understand what HDR means : In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

HDRCamera for iPhone is an easy to use app, that will let you take a photo and/or choose one from your library and apply 6 different HDR effects on that particular photo. Now i may be wrong on this, but i think you need to take at least 3 pictures of the same thing ( may be an object, landscape w/e ) at different light condition ( i think u mess with the ISO ) to get more shadows, more mid tones, more lights and than import all of them in a image processing software like PhotoShop and work your magic. Im not a photographer by any means, but some pre-defined HDR filters in the iPhone may not suit everybodys tastes.
