iPhone HDR

Since I’m such a huge believer in always having a camera in tow, I’ve been thrilled with the photography improvements from my two-year old iPhone 3g to the new iPhone 4. And now, with iOS 4.1, Apple has introduced in-camera HDR capabilities.

What’s HDR? The quick answer is that it combines multiple exposures to create an image more like what your eyeballs see, so instead of typical photos where you might have super dark shadows, or a sky that is white instead of blue, you get a more dynamic, colorful image.

So how does the iPhone do? I’d say the results are pretty good! Here are some photos I took at Rose Park in Georgetown.
