Why iPhone Cameras Just Don't Cut It
Yes, I'm back after a long hiatus again. Hi.
I had some stirrings of creativity the last month or so and so finally tried to revisit the hobby to provide an outlet for all that energy. I did a decent enough job considering that all my paints are drying up and caking in the bottom of the GW pots (I'll be switching to Vallejo indefinitely after this). At least, I thought so!
However, it is something of a stifle when the camera just does not do the model justice. This Dark Angel Librarian from the Dark Vengeance set came out fairly well, but the camera in the iPhone 4 just doesn't have the capacity to bring out the detail that I worked so meticulously on. No amount of lighting changes or background switches could help. I tried a multitude of different backgrounds and lighting situations... but in the end, I settled on this picture. This was the best of a bad lot and that is pretty frustrating to me.
Guess I'll be asking for a new digital camera for my upcoming b-day this month...
The difference between the 4 and 4S is 'uge. Every picture I take is taken on my 4S and I am quite happy with it!

But my 4 definitely wasn't all that good. It's white balance was all off making everything yellower.
Those are some fine pics, and you have superb lighting conditions. I am surprised that they came out so well on an iPhone camera! My wife has been bugging me for an upgrade for our phones, so maybe we will upgrade to the 5s when it comes out. They should have nicer cameras in them, I hope!
