Check Out These Beautiful Outdoor Photos Taken With the New iPhone 7 Plus

Check Out These Beautiful Outdoor Photos Taken With the New iPhone 7 Plus

Posted September 14, 2016 at 1:17pm by iClarified
Outside has named the iPhone 7 Plus as the year's best new adventure camera. Photographer Jakob Schiller was tasked with putting the new smartphone's camera to test.

To review the camera in the new iPhone 7 Plus, I chased Outside editors up rivers, down dusty singletrack, through the woods, and into classic New Mexican burrito joints. Over four days of in-the-field testing, I’ve found it to be the best small, lightweight camera you can get for the money, ideal for shooting outdoor adventures when you don’t want to lug around pounds of heavy equipment.

Check out a couple photos from their adventure below or hit the link for the full gallery. You may also want to see these photos from the Titans-Viking game and the US Open.

I think if you needed a better camera, than the 7 plus is for you. If not, no reason to bother

Good. Maybe because of careful choice of subject, but the typical clipping of highlights and shadows is absent in these examples, and they have some artistic merit, as well-- not a super amount, but a credible amount. Surely the photogs know this already. Keep shooting, boys and girls. You are on the right track.

It looks like on my freakin 5S. Honestly. Nothing special.

Not even close. I see a bit of noise on my 5s with too much bright light or too dark because of the focus.

Dynamic range-- the iPhone camera clips highlights and shadows. If you are serious, get the LightRoom app, which allows you to shoot in RAW format. Then you can edit a more comprehensive file and dial in highlights and shadows, assuming you've exposed optimally.

Your 5s IS remarkable. Or do you buy into Apple's planned obsolescence so deeply that you can't see that. Think Kodak Instamatic ($19.95 way back when).

Maybe. Maybe not.

They really are very nice but come on, let's be honest. A good photographer or just a person interested in photography knows how to capture the moment or make a landscape look fantastic using a much worse camera than this on iPhone 7 IMO

So you're saying a camera that under performs an iPhone 7 camera can do just as good?

No, he or she is saying that a photographer armed with a lesser camera will still produce view-worthy photos, as opposed to someone not sensitive to visuals equipped with a much better camera. In other words, creativity does tilt the equation in favor of enjoyability vs. tech's contribution wherein horribly concneived and executed images will be shared at phenomenal resolutions.

No, a photographer with a camera that underperforms an iPhone 7's can do better. The camera is a tool. Without vision, go fish.

If I may speak on behalf of the poster to whom you aim your question, yes. That's exactly what he/she is saying. The art lies in the human use of the medium, not in the mere ability of a camera to record a higher dynamic range or resolution, though those are wonderful developments.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Of course, for amateurs such a good camera like on iPhone 7 is gonna help and do a great job in producing wonderdul, colorful photos. But IMO posting photos like these above is just pure marketing. If you take a look a few years back, for instance when iPhone 6 was revealed, they posted 'Shot on iPhone' photos series which I must say, looked very much similar and as great as those made with iPhone 7.

You said it right
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - September 14, 2016 at 4:08pm
Neither of you have. Even if it looks the same, it still takes in more light and puts in more detail.

The issue here is dynamic range. The iPhone cameras and software have lacked this. With LightRoom's recent introduction of the ability to shoot in their open-source raw format, .nef, they may possibly have introduced a game-changer. Remains to be seen (um, literally, if I may say). Raw will allow perspicacious editing better than .jpg or even .tif (tallkin' to you 645 Pro creators). So, at least give it a try. Most iPhone users don't get these issues. Ain't rocket science, by any means, but most don't want to invest so much time and energy into a stinkin' snapshot. That's where actual practitioners of the photographic craft do come into play. They have a better overall understanding of the importance of what Adobe's done (and I am no fan of Adobe, believe you me). Could develop into something interested, and, yes, the put is intended.
