HDR, or high dynamic range, is one feature the iPhone, particularly the iPhone 5s really excels at. Taking an okay photo is easy, but taking an amazing photo that manages to balance everything just right, that's something else completely. Whenever you have a lot going on in a photo, HDR really can save the day. So that's your task this week, get a great photo that's well balanced from sky to grass or ocean to sand.
The contest begins today and ends Tuesday, April 8th at 6 p.m. Eastern time. Good luck!
It's also time to announce the winner of our last photo contest! And the winner is...
Congrats to forum member Golff Narm on winning our animals photo contest! The reason I picked this particular photo is simply because it's awesome! What a tough shot to get and you absolutely nailed it. Great job! We'll be contacting you shortly to collect your Mobile Nations prize pack!
Now on to the details of what this week's winner will receive...
The prize: iTunes gift card!
The winner of this week's photo contest will snag a Mobile Nations prize pack that includes all your favorite gear from your favorite Mobile Nations site. We'll let you pick which pack you want as well, and we won't hold it against you (too much) if you pick CrackBerry.
The rules
Submitted photos must have been taken with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We'll check the EXIF data of the original file to verify and any edits must have been done with an iPhone or iPad app. No Photoshop, Lightroom, or other external editing programs! If you have external lens accessories such as an Olloclip or other snap-on lens, you are more than welcome to use them.
You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but remember, this is a contest, so make sure you submit your best work!
Resources
Now, before you run off to take your photo, remember that it's not technical skill alone that will claim this prize. Even if you're not the best photographer (yet!), a great eye and a great subject can still get you the win.
However, a little help can never hurt, so make sure you check out our iPhone photography series for some tips.
How to submit
Submitting your photos is easy. just head over to the iMore Photography Forum and post your photos to the official contest thread. Don't forget to state what device you have and which apps, if any, you used to edit your photo!
That's it! Now go out and shoot!
