iPhone 7 Plus Photography

Taken and edited in Lightroom Mobile. I underexposed the shot by half a stop to see how far I could push the RAW files in post. Everything in the foreground was dark and colourless but all the shadows were completely recoverable, though this is about as far as I could go before noise was unacceptable. The result is a bit grainy as expected but definitely useable - great to have this dynamic range on a phone!

I assume you didn't use an iPhone app to recover the shadows and highlights?
 
Love Lightroom! I'm just waiting on VSCO Cam to release an updated version to support RAW as well.

I agree with steveh552 about how amazing this photo is, can you give us some details of how you did it.

Apple should use this in one of their "shot on an iPhone" ads. For any smartphone photograph it is truly amazing.

All of these outdoor pictures are pretty amazing. How is everyone finding regular, every day life, indoor photos - like of kids, pets, etc? It seems like they're terrible for me. Blurry, takes forever to focus, dark and grainy. I've tried other apps (Procam, Camera+, etc) My 6S took better indoor pictures? Or am I the only one?

I must say I was impressed by this at first, but now when I see more images I just find it looking disturbing with the portrait effect. It just looks like a similar amount of blur has been applied to the area that is suposed to be out of focus.
Very far from a proper photo with shallow depth of field.
 
Well I've given up using ProCam to take RAW pics, the lower light photography tends to be quite shocking, it'll up the ISO to high values to get a faster shutter speed which then introduces alot of noise to the pic. The in built camera app manages to keep the ISO low and find a shutter speed which overall gives a better end result. I realise you can tweak the values but if you reduce the ISO down and the shutter speed the preview display in ProCam goes all juddery and unusable. Also regardless of the app I use the quality of the pics from the telephoto f2.8 lens aren't that good, they aren't bad they just aren't great and it's not the lack of optical stablisation either. One thing I did notice, if you take a pic with the f2.8 telephoto lens and load it into any app that can view the EXIF info, it comes up as having an aperture setting of f1.8 which cannot be right, unless of course it's not actually flicking over to the telephoto lens at all.

Anyhoo, took these in Dublin on Wednesday :

These photos are gorgeous. Hopefully Verizon continues to ship out their backordered Plus about 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule... Original ship date was 11/23, hoping for it in October at some point!

did you use ProCam or ProCamera? please give ProCamera a try too.

also, yes the "tele" lens seems not that great quality wise for tele pictures, but in good lightning conditions i find it great for close up pictures (not macros) and portraits.
