Wondering if anyone can shed light on particularly useful apps on the iphone for photography. I've found a number of DOF calculators, numerous sun/moon apps as well as some GPS apps that can do waypoints and, possibly be integrated into Lightroom to provide GSP coordinates for a photo shoot. Also found that the Canon 50D and 5DmkII owner's manuals have been ported to the iphone as apps...
So, has anyone found apps that excel in any of the above? Any other 'must have' apps for the photographer?
Thanks,
E

Also, I'm still looking for any suggestions on navigating dgrin from the iphone in a cleaner manner than the regular page on safari :wink

    Sort of a bump - but with useful infomwink.gif

    Found out that smugmug has a great iphone formatted page available by entering:
    http://username.smugmug.com/iphone
    into Safari
    Looks and acts great!!!

    I only found this by reading a blackberry thread so seemed worthwhile to put it under the iphone heading as well.

    In the meantime, I've gotten a few photography-aimed apps.

    iKspozher calculates shutter speed based on iso, aperture and a 'scene' (ie full sun, overcast, etc). Works ok but the slider at the butter doesn't seem very responsive.

    Photo buddy does a lot including sunrise, sunset times and moon cycle based on location. Also exposure calculation like iKspozher. Has a DOF calculator with a pictorial depiction as well as distance measurements. Flash guide. It has a 'more' section that includes:
    angle of view based on focal length and sensor size
    bracket measurement for up to 5 bracketed shots - does the math (ie 1 stop = -- shutter speed)
    built in gray wedge with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% grey/black/white
    - any thoughts on how this would be affected by the iPhones screen - brightness, reflections, etc???
    color temp - degree kelvin based on setting (candle, halogen, xeon, etc)
    bulb timer - set the number of seconds and minutes and it will let you know when that time has passed
    In the settings section, you can put in your camera which will have an effect on relevant values above (such as DOF, angle of view)
    This seems like a worthy app though I have to admit to not remembering to use it very oftenne_nau.gif

    Hope that helps,
