Recently took a vacation and went to Hong Kong for a visit. It has been almost 5 years since I last visited. This trip was mainly to catch up with friends and family, as well as for food and shopping. I didn’t bring my Canon gear with me, instead I had with me an older iPhone 3GS and my newish Lumix GF2 for the trip. Here are some photos I took using the iPhone 3GS. To my surprise, the older iPhone performed pretty well with Camera+.

All the photos in this post were taken using the iPhone 3GS.

With the recent purchase of the Lumix GF2, I now have 3 types of cameras I can use. DSLR for quality and abundance of accessories, Micro 4/3 for light weight and fully manual photography, and the iPhone 4 for the casual and leisure type photography. And with the iPhone, Camera+ is definitely a must have for better control of exposure, as well as adding effects like these to the otherwise plain-old-camera-phone photos. All these photos are taken using an iPhone 4 and uploaded directly from Camera+ after some effects and borders are added in the app.
