First thing is, HDR does not necessarily mean you will get the best shot every time. It essentially takes 2 photographs rapidly, underexposed and over exposed, then blends them to create a third picture.

From what I've taken so far, the best shots with HDR are outdoor shots, with skies as the subject that benefits the most from this tech. These are resized photos, otherwise unedited, taken by me.


Exhibit A :

Exhibit B :

Some shots are best left alone with the original shots, with colours appearing warmer/richer in its original form, and the HDR shots looking 'drained' of colours. When colours are generally already rich in spectrum, adding HDR isn't necessarily the best option.

Exhibit C :

When lighting conditions are generally poor, HDR helps to bring out the details hidden in shadows.

Yep! That's the furthest place my phone has went so far!

Macro shots are quite hard to pull off, I had to put my hand in front of the camera, let it focus on that, then pull out quickly to grab this shot. Tap to focus was too close for this to work.

For the long trips, originally used as just a way to play songs with my ipod but since the upgrade to iphone this has also doubled as a hands free and in-car charger. Passengers are impressed when I receive calls and the voice comes through the car's speakers.

I like!
