Oliver Lang is regarded as one of the masters of light within the mobile photography community. In this photo tutorial (originally posted on the Backspaces storytelling app). Lang shares a few insights into how he sees and experiments with natural light.
All shots in this series are taken with the iPhone 4S using ProCamera for precise focus and exposure control.
We’re excited to introduce the ProCamera community to photographer and self-described ‘creative tinkerer’ Brian Townsend.
An accomplished professional photographer, Townsend is passionate about achieving high quality results from his iPhone and iPad. According to Townsend “the main thing is that if you want good results you have to treat the iPhone like a real camera.” To get the most out of his mobile devices, Townsend makes his own photographic accessories that complement his shooting style. We were amazed by Townsend’s ingenuity in solving a few common mobile photography challenges. Here are four inventions as described by Townsend himself.
Check out this beautiful new video from Apple, which shows so clearly why the iPhone is the most popular camera in the world.
Here at ProCamera we’ll continue to work on making it the best camera in the world!

Soon after the release of our ProCamera 4.1 update, Japanese blogger Siso shared his in-depth photo review posts of the new two-step Exposure Boost feature. He kindly agreed to us reposting both articles on the ProCamera site.
The articles are in Japanese but can be followed with Google Translate.
Blog Post 1: New Procamera Two Step Exposure Boost
なんだかよくわからない新機能、「２段階露出ブースト」ってどんな機能か試してみました。通常、iPhone4Sの標準カメラですと、シャッター速度が「1/15s」までしか遅くならないのですが、この機能を使うと、本当に「１秒」まで遅くなるみたいです（多重撮影による擬似かどうかはちょっとわからないですが、撮影前の表示を見ていると、本当になっているような気がします）。
We’re very proud to announce that ProCamera has received a huge tick of approval from Apple, with our capture screen to be featured in beautiful photography displays in Apple Stores all around the world.
The feature launched in the United States a few days ago and starts worldwide on the 24th April.
ProCamera will be shown alongside other major photography apps including Instagram.

We’re very excited to announce the release of ProCamera 4.1 with two new features to give photographers even more creative possibilities when shooting with the iPhone.
New Exposure Boost!The first feature is a two-step Exposure Boost that allows you to take high-quality shots at night. To turn on the Exposure Boost first go into the Control Panel (bottom-right button) and press on the Histogram button (top row, second from the left). This activates the Histogram, Shutter Speed and ISO displays.
There are two ways to use the Exposure Boost:
Here is a table that shows how the two modes appear on the iPhone 4 and 5.
| Mode |
iPhone 4/4S |
iPhone 5 |
| Hand- held |  |
 |
| Tripod |  |
 |
Note: The Shutter Speed button is located on the bottom-left on iPhone 4/4S and bottom-right on iPhone 5.
We’ll be posting an in-depth low-light tutorial later in the week which will demonstrate how to get well exposed and sharp night photos using both modes.
With our new ProLab sliders you can swipe anywhere on screen to fine-tune your image adjustments. When selected, a left/right swipe controls the intensity of the sliders. When de-selected a left/right swipe toggles between the adjusted and original photograph.
Here is an example of the new Contrast slider.
As well as these two new features, we’ve also added a number of performance improvement and bug fixes to the app.

Yes, it’s almost April but most of Europe remains within a deep winter slumber. There has been a lot of snow over the past week around England, with plenty falling here in Derby, UK. As I usually live in Australia (where there is very little snow), I’ve jumped at the chance to get out there and capture this new found winter wonderland.
Shooting in snow can be a little tricky as the iPhone camera can struggle to get an accurate exposure because of the overall brightness of the scene. Here are a few tips that help me when shooting in the snow:
1. Take control of your exposure
ABC TV has featured ProCamera as one of the best apps for taking control of your iPhoneography!
In the video, Theresa Escobedo, who teaches iPhoneography at Houston Centre of Photography, recommends ProCamera as the best app for focus and exposure control to improve lighting in your photos.
Escobedo’s other great tips include
1. Be sure the phone is charged and you have enough storage space.
2. When taking a snapshot, use both your hands to give you stability.
3. Don’t use the zoom; it will give you a lower-quality image.
