It is pure chance if today is the fourth time in a month that I write about iPhone photography. Interesting 365 projects are a rare breed and I certainly don't want to miss one for such a futile reason.
Photon Thief seemed very surprised I was wishing to write about his project. I like this project because there is a real effort to not shoot the same photo twice. It is easier to find your way and stick with it, his way of leading this project is more challenging.

A few useful iPhone Photo Apps
I have written about mobile phone photography once, with Jason L. Parks pictures, and I will undoubtely share other photos from mobile phones in the future. Nowadays phones have nice photo specs, but the improvements also come from software, and you will understand better how nice pictures can be obtained once through this article.
Features include basics such as crop, rotate, taking pictures (without leaving the app). More fancy effects are present like Warm Vintage, Vignette or Sketch. You can upload your photos to photoshop.com if you open a free account, and you can also send them to facebook or twitter.
A free easy-to-use very efficient app, definitely a must have.
Like the previous one, this app is simple and fast to use. It also can share photos through Twitter, Facebook, mail, Flickr.
100 Cameras in 1 is only available on iPhone ($1.99) right now, but an Android version is being developped.

Adobe Photoshop Express
This application does have the name of one of the most famous picture manipulation tool (ever), but of course it is still only a phone app, don't expect to find all the features of its big brother. However, you can get a legend on your iPhone (or Android).Features include basics such as crop, rotate, taking pictures (without leaving the app).

100 Cameras in 1
This app claims to have 100 different effects for countless possibilities to make your photos special. Check the application's site, or this flickr group for examples.Like the previous one, this app is simple and fast to use. It also can share photos through Twitter, Facebook, mail, Flickr.

Tiltshift generator
A few days ago I wrote about miniature like photography, this is what this application does. For $0.99 you can put the world in your pocket! Unfortunately this is an iPhone only app.
Pano
With Pano you can create a 111 Gigapixels 16 photos panorama. Nice huh? Check this flickr group for examples. Buy Pano for $1.99.

iPhoneography with Jason L. Parks
Think you need a fancy dSLR to take good pictures? Some time ago I thought the same, until I saw a picture on facebook, taken by a friend (David Heang) as he left work, using... his iPhone! In fact many people have been uploading pictures taken with their iPhone: it's called iPhoneography.
I did not know about Jason L. Parks until twitter suggested I added @JasonLParks in my follow list. His description message left me... Well judge for yourself: "I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be."! I was about to close it, but I thought it was ridiculous to take it literally, it was obviously for fun (or was it?), and I visited his website.
Jason L. Parks publishes exclusively photos taken and edited with an iPhone. After a family tragic event, he decided he wanted to document every experience he had. Indeed most of us have a camera right in our pocket and don't make the best out of it.

Accessory guide: remote
Whether you like it or not, Christmas time is coming! Happy time for receiving, but it's also a time for giving.
If you want to offer a present to a photographer (maybe yourself!), these "Accessory guide" articles might come in handy. I know photography equipment is often very expensive, so I'll start with unexpensive yet very useful accessories.
Today: remote controllers. They start at a really affordable price (a few dollars!), and they are essential in some situations:
Usually they are categorized by communication type: wire, infrared, radio. You could also categorize them by functionality: only shutter release for the simplest, or advance controls such as timer settings, exposure length or zoom. And some can do a lot more.
Wired remote controllers do not allow self-portrait, unless you use a timer in which case you don't really need the remote... But in general they are the cheapest, and they are a good choice for light painting and motion blur.
Infrared remotes let you take self-portrait, the problem is then to hide the remote, as you need to point it to the camera!
And then, there are radio remotes which are more expensive, but easy to use and more practical.
Last but not least, onOne software presents... the iPhone app! Yes, that's right! This application only works for Canon and Nikon (sorry), and is not free, but it lets you perform many operations. The counterpart is that you need a computer with WiFi connection to the iPhone, and USB connection to the camera to use it (you'd better have a laptop...).
Remote controllers are great for the price, I am sure not every photographer has one, but all could use it!

Today: remote controllers. They start at a really affordable price (a few dollars!), and they are essential in some situations:
- self portrait or group portrait in which the photographer wants to appear
- long exposure shots (especially bulb shots)
- any case in which it is crucial that the camera does not shake while taking the picture
