Evolution Of The iPhone Camera – Tested …
The developers behind Camera+, one of the most popular iPhone photography apps available have tested every model of iPhone camera and have taken a set of comparision shots, to detail how improved the camera is now. They tested three scenarios, macro, skyline and low light macro. The differences are striking but perhaps the greatest difference can be seen between the 3G and 3GS and not a lot of difference between the iPhone 4S and 5, but there are definite signs of improvement. To read the test in full, head over to the Camera+ blog here. Macro Comparison Skyline – iPhone 5 Skyline – iPhone 3G Join…

Gray’s Anatomy – what are you oggling at? – By Richard Gray
“This week saw the launch of Hipstamatic’s long-awaited photo-sharing app. And what have they decided to call their new app, I hear you ask? Well, no doubt after great investment in some expensive Los Angeles PR consultancy, they’ve settled on the name Oggl. OK, yes, like Flickr, Tumblr, Grmblr, they’ve missed out some letters.

Too many years of experience let him know it was coming, and as every time before he tried to fight it, tried to find the shape of it as it grew, feel the edges of it so he could find somewhere to push against. The words started to rise up, he felt the weight of them pushing outwards, and despite them he did not have the words to name how it felt. The tickle became shake and a sickly burn as he fought the compulsion that bubbled within him. He barely noticed the twitch…

Master-Slave Relationship – New Apple Patent For ‘Social Camera Flash’ System
AppleInsider have revealed a very interesting patent by Apple to the United States Patent and Trademark office – it describes how ‘a primary iOS device such as an iPhone, remotely controls multiple secondary devices, which can also be iPhones, as slave flashes for the first handset’s on-board camera’. ‘The idea of connecting multiple iOS devices belonging to different people, the patent application can be considered a “social camera flash” system, perhaps useful in impromptu photo shoots that require more than one source of lighting. The patent application notes the primary device can be either a dedicated camera or a handset with image capture capabilities, while the slave units can be…
