iPhone’s built-in HDR camera feature is nice

I’ve had the iPhone 4 for a few weeks now. This weekend I found myself waiting to drop off books at the library.  From the parking lot of the Chester Country Library is a nice view of a wooded stream. It was a good chance to test the HDR feature in the iPhone camera.

The image is split with the left side showing without HDR and the right with HDR. The washed out sky on the left looses details. There is a lot more detail on the right.  The bare branches are clear in HDR and the tree bark texture looks better.  The original with HDR on Flickr shows cloud textures that were lost in the image without HDR.

The original images are on Flickr.
