An iPhone shot from a couple of years ago, with some "apping" in the iPhone -- I just recently rediscovered it and wondered how it would look in B/W.
The caption notes in LR say PhotoForge Watercolor + Oil and Pic Grunger.

Really nice, would have never guessed it was an Iphone shot. Love the textures and the dark and light contrasts. Sort of spooky in a good way.
Diane, this one is pretty cool. The technology in those phones is something else. B+W works for this subject and style, reminiscent of a stone engraving. Only critique would be a subtle gradient to gently lighten the lower region.
This is so good in black & white. Wow! The range of tones skewed toward darkness makes a powerful impact. And an iPhone shot, too. I just got my first iPhone and am anxious to try some real photography with it -- probably with some auxiliary lenses. This inspires me to get moving on that.
Diane, this is gorgeous and I'm not surprised that it came from your iPhone. The tones and the lighting are lovely. I haven't really started exploring all the apps for the phone - I've got a long exposure app and a multiple exposure app and that's about all. I knew Dennis just bought one and I was just getting ready to email him and find out if he'd used it yet:S3:
Dark and mysterious. A tree stands out in the forest. Nice composition. Great B&W--from white to black and tones in between.
When working on iPhone photos, do you (and others) edit on the iPhone? The image is so small that I don't think I could do that.
Not yet, Cheryl. A little before I got the phone, a new lens that I bought for my real camera arrived. It's going to open up a lot of exciting possibilities, I think. However, things have been so crazy I haven't even put it on the camera, yet. I'm anxious to try it out and to put the iPhone through its paces. If I'm happy with what I see from the iPhone, the next step is auxiliary lenses.Quote:

Great composition with wonderful lines and tones. And a bit spooky!
Great tonal range and composition.
Thanks, everyone! Here's the color version. Curious which is favored.

Processing is often mostly push-button, but some have masking and combining images. That has to be easier on the iPad's bigger screen, but I don't feel the need for one yet. I take Dennis' approach -- if I can figure out how to replicate an app look I like, I'll do it on the real computer, and with a "real" image, if possible. Some of the apps are becoming available for a computer, and you can use them on any image (but only on a JPEG, or maybe TIFF).
I have almost 1000 iPhone images cataloged in LR (although quite a few are derivatively processed) and there are about 10 that I like. And those 1000 probably represent 10% of the actual shots I've made with the thing. It's a love-hate thing, with hate being well ahead. Image quality basically sucks but is occasionally kind of fun. But there is a lot of stuff I really like on the internet. I love most of Dan Burkholder's work.
To my surprise, I prefer the B&W version. Usually, I prefer color. In the color image, the bright area is too bright for my taste, or maybe too small.
Love the black and white, has an old timey wrinkled paper kind of feel.... One for the wall for sure!
