How do you use your iphone for photography purposes ?

[magnus2]

<p>i read that a lot of photographers use their iphone when they do their work ( I would assume back up photos? )</p>

<p>How do YOU use your iphone when it comes to photography?</p>

<p>I use it to sync with my calendar so I know what appointments I have.<br>

I use a sunrise/sunset app so that I know when those times occcur.<br>

I use Tickspot in conjunction with their website to track time spent on client projects.<br>

I use the notes section to write down photography related thoughts that I refer back to when in the office.<br>

FedEx app for tracking packages I ship to clients.<br>

"QuickGas" to locate the nearest gas station to where I am (saved my butt a few times!)<br>

"Packing" to create lists of what gear to take in different situations.<br>

"Whitenoise" to block out ambient sounds when I am doing my post-production<br>

And, of course, I'll load photos of mine into a "Portfolio" folder so I can always show potential clients sample work. Yes, when I am going to meet a client I carry a physical portfolio, but I've been just out running errands or at a party and met prospective clients that want to see work. I pull out my iPhone and show it to them.</p>

<p>I snap shots of the scene I just took on film because the phone records the GPS coordinates with the image. I also use to mark locations I want to go back to. The camera isn't good enough for backup photos. In fact it's barely acceptable for quick snap shots. And, yes I have have the newest one.</p>

<p>LG, that's a great idea.<br /> <br /> I have a Blackberry, but it essentially is an iPhone knock off. I use mine for sort of a portable blog thing. With the Flickr app (I'm sure the iPhone has this too). I know my use isn't so much "photo related" as what I get of it aren't really photos! But it is great for documenting things when I don't have my camera handy.</p>

Chain Timer for agitating during film development - every 30 sec gets tedious without a chain timer

Calendar of course for recurring events like when the rhodora blooms

 

And of course the iPod to listen to whatever while I'm en route to shoot.
