One of the most used features of my iPhone might well be the camera. While the experts will tell you the camera on the iPhone is lacking (and it is in some ways), it's far better than they'd have you believe.  In fact, I frequently get comments like 'Wow, you took that with your phone?'

The convenience of always having my iPhone in my pocket has provided far more opportunity for capturing those unexpected moments with my wife & kids, in addition to taking listing pics on the fly and posting them for immediate marketing exposure, or capturing funny or interesting things I see when showing homes and sharing them with my followers and friends.

I recently stumbled across a pretty detailed write-up of tips for maximizing your iPhone camera's abilities. Using a little thought and experimenting with different techniques, you'll be surprised what you can do with that handy little camera phone.

One tip I'll add as well, which was shared with me by a good friend and fellow tech-junkie not too long ago is this; when you're taking a picture, put your finger or thumb on the shutter button and hold it there until you've steadied the camera and you're ready for the picture to be taken, then just release.  This helps you eliminate blurry pics by reducing the amount of movement when you're ready to snap your pic.

Happy shooting!!

UPDATE: Special thanks to my friend Douglas for sharing a link to some further proof of the abilities of an iPhone camera.
