Lately I have been playing a lot with my iPhone 8plus, photographically that is. During a trip to the nearby historic town of Schwäbisch Hall I was taking some night shots with the iPhone, just to see what I can get out of this images when importing them into Lightroom. I have to admit the results are not that bad at all, the dynamic range is quite amazing, for a phone. For more photos continue after the jump…
After importing into Lightroom, I just opened up the shadows a bit and saturated the colors (first image) or converted to monochrome.
At least what concerns an iPhone 8, the camera is suitable also for some night photography. Especially, when you don’t have your real camera with you. Or, as in my case, you don’t feel like taking it out of your backpack.

Have a great Saturday!

Great stuff… I love taking ‘iPhoneograpy’ photos, too.
Thanks, Steve, much appreciated! Marcus
Marcus, if somebody handed you a toy camera from a box of cereals you would still manage to take incredible photos 🙂
Smartphone cameras and computacional photography are indeed moving forward at an incredible place. I sometimes compare pictures taken with my current phone with the ones we took with our old phones on our 2015 round-the-world trip, and the difference is shocking!

Oh Verne, you make me blush! But it is true, smartphone photography has come a long way. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting! Marcus
I have switched to clicking pictures on my phone for night photography because my DSLR is laggard when it comes to low light photography. I’m not using iPhone but the results are way better because it uses the dual lens, one for color and the other for monochrome. In fact, a large number of pictures on my blog now relies on phone pictures.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Arv, much appreciated! Phone photography really has come a long way! I hope more people get into photography via their phones. If there were more photographers, the world would be a better place! Hope you had a great weekend! Marcus
Absolutely. Thanks. 🙂
Great captures Marcus. The iPhone 8 seems to do a great job. I feel like my 7plus is hit or miss. 🙂
Thanks, Amy, much appreciated! I tend to use my office iPhone 8 over my private iPhone 6plus for that reason. I’m looking to upgrade to an Xs though….Have a great Sunday! Marcus
Great Post. Thank you for sharing. Check out my blog when you have a chance.
Very good photos! I often find myself taking pictures with my S7 Edge, and I have to admit, it is good. Of course not a replacement of the DSLR, but when I’m not in the mood to taking my camera with me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Peter, I’m happy we’re sharing the same approach! Marcus
Great shots, Marcus! You’ve once again proven that the camera doesn’t make a good photograph — the photographer does.
Thanks, Heide, you once again made me blush 🙂
That’s what I’m here for, Marcus! 😉
Does iphone 8 have shutter speed options? How did you create the last image? They look amazing 🙂
I was just pressing the button. It was quite windy and dark, so I guess the shutter speed was slow enough to capture the movement in the leaves. Thanks for commenting!
Reblogged this on From 1 Blogger 2 Another.
Thanks for the re-blog, Douglas!
I got smart phone attachment lenses. Camera photography pretty good, but still cannot replace the DSLR just yet.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated! Marcus
wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing your work 🙂
Thanks, Oliver, appreciate your comment so much! Marcus
Wow! Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, highly appreciated! Marcus
The lenses and AI in smart phones are improving so much, and you can get great results. I got my Huawei p10 specifically for the camera. Having a third camera on me is useful.
I passed an assignment with a photo that was taken on my phone.
The main downfall with the Huawei is that it over exposes whites, so I know when not to use it.
Thanks for sharing your insights on the P10, much appreciated! Marcus
Such a beautiful place!
Thanks, Trish, much appreciated! Marcus
