Intern's Corner: How to take real photos with the iPhone
Every other week, CRAFT's awesome interns tell about the projects they're building in the Craft: Labs, the trouble they've gotten into, and what they'll make next.By Ed Troxell, photo internLast month I traveled to the Big Apple, New York City.

So I decided to check out the best tips for shooting with the iPhone. Although I don't recommend using it as your main camera, these tips should help you get better quality photos:Read this article | Comment on this article blog.craftzine.com |
