iPhone HDR review

Have you heard about HDR photos? These are the High Dynamic Range photographs applied with greater amount or range of light to dark. That means dark areas can be really dark and light can go to the maximum. This can be achieved either by computer manipulation or by using professional cameras that allows HDR shooting.

The good news is, iPhone4 has now HDR capability!

So how is this done really? By placing it in HDR mode, iPhone captures a photo into three kinds of exposure (I mean the brightness or the darkness of the photo). This exposures are underexposed, normal, and overexposed. It will then combine those three photos and produce a high dynamic range photograph. The bonus is, it also captures a standard (non-HDR) photo in addition to the HDR photograph.

The next question now is, is this iphone HDR feature worth something? Does it work like a professional camera? To answer those questions, let's make an iPhone HDR review:
