For the past two days I TA’d a class called The iPhone as Photographic Tool at ICP. Amadou Diallo taught the class. He is a very smart guy, a good teacher, and really knows both traditional photographic equipment and the current state of smart phone equipment. I took all the photos below with my iPhone, some with the native iPhone camera, some with an ap called Pro Camera, some with Pro HDR. Some have not been processed, I worked some in Snapseed, and some in Lightroom.
Your smart phone can shoot some truly good images if you let it.

I was really impressed with this young woman’s ability to hold it together with 5 people taking pictures with their iPhones
I’m at loss for words, so I just say Wow! I’d love to take a course like that!
I use SnapSeed sometimes, Camera+ and lately I’ve been trying an app called Snappy Cam, when stuff’s moving.
I’ll have to check out Snappycam. I think more courses of that type are just around the bend
I’m glad you put the flag in that Governor’s Island shot with the tree and sky. Otherwise, I would’ve thought it to be in Europe.
I love NYC but Europe would have been nice!
Wow! What a great class that must’ve been! I’ll have to see if I can find something like it out here…
The people in the class seemed to really enjoy it
