[katia]

the title says it all! i am blown away by how many photography apps there are in the itunes store!

what are your favorite ones, and why? what do they do that's useful? if you have any direct links to these iPhone apps that would be great!

I have a bunch of photography apps on mine, but there are only a few that I use on a regular basis:

For the DSLR

1. OnOne DSLR Remote: May or may not actually be useful to you. It lets me view my camera's live view and take pictures and see the result immediately on the phone.

Instead of the iPhone Camera

2. Hipstamatic: A really kind of random app, I saw the result from someone else and thought, why not. This one replicates old style film and cameras and lets you also use colour filters. So it's basically a camera app.

3. Best Camera: Another one that can be used as either a camera app or an app to edit pre-existing photo. I like the filters in this.

4. GorillaCam: Adds a self timer, delay mode, time lapse mode, grid, etc. It's a free app and totally worth it.

5. Pano: Love this panorama app. Makes it really easy to do panorama shots on your phone and you can take and have it stitch up to 16 photos into one shot.

Not Directly Photography

6. Trails / Geocorder [Free]: I use these ones for keeping track of my position so that I can sync the .gpx files back to my photos in LR. Makes it way easier than geotagging by hand.

7. Sunrise Sunset Lite: Tells you when the sun sets wherever you are in the world.

8. Flickr: The Flickr App shows me photos around me based on my location and lets me upload right to there. I like it well enough, I don't use it all that often, but that's just because I'm usually not using the iPhone camera.

I should keep these apps in mind for when I receive my iPod touch. I didn't get an iPhone because I like Verizon. I just left AT&T. So, I got a Droid. I love it but I also like Apple products. I just bought an iMac and now I'm about to get an iPod touch.

I've played with a whole host of different photo apps from time to time, but the only ones that have stayed on my iPhone:

OnOne - DSLR Remote - which does what Nicole said it does. I've used it in the past to play around with insect macros - setup the camera outside, and operate it from air-conditioned indoor comfort!

DOFMaster - free depth of field calculator - I use this when I buy a new lens or if I have a need for really carefully controlled DoF. A great way to get to understand how focal length and aperture (and sensor size) affect your DoF.

Strobox - lighting diagram generator - helps me remember how I set up lighting, 'cause I've sometimes forgotten by the time I download the photos!

that's a expensive phone with a cheap camera.

AT&T sucks too...

That's my opinion though....

And mine. Ripped me off not once, but twice. Never again! I have the Instinct now, but looking at the Droid. Will have to do more research.
