iPhone has become a photographer�s new tool and rightly so. iPhone takes great photographs and with the introduction of 5MP camera in iPhone 4, the photographing capability of iPhone is now at par with most mid-range digital cameras if now better than them. However, picture quality and photo-capturing experience is taken to a whole new level with some great apps built just for the photographers.
As they say, best camera is the one you have always with you. iPhone has a great camera built-in. The iPhone 4's camera is even better. It can take stunning photographs and HD videos. Then there is the fact that being a phone, it is with you always.

One other great thing about the iPhone is that there is an app for almost anything, and photography is no exception. There are plenty of iPhone apps built just for the purpose of photography. From taking long-exposure photos to panoramic shots, iPhone has got it all. Without further ado, let�s get to the list.
- Pano
Pano is one of the most useful and likely on of the best photography applications for iPhone. As the name suggests, Pano is used for taking panoramic photographs. You can either use a tripod or hand-held it. Pano does a decent job in aligning the images for the panorama as well. Take a first photographs and keep taking them as long as you want the panorama to be. When you are done, click cancel and wait for a few seconds until Pano aligns and makes the panorama for you.

- DSLR Camera Remote
DSLR Camera remote does exactly what the name suggests. It wirelessly triggers the shutter button of your camera. Not only that, it also lets you see the preview of the images you are taking. This application is great for taking self-portraits or macro photos. If you have ever tried to take macro photographs or long-exposure ones, you probably know that pressing the shutter button on the camera itself causes a shake in the camera which inturn ruins the images. However, with DSLR camera remote, you don�t have to worry about the shake because you will be triggering the shutter remotely and that too without connecting any wires to your DSLR or the iPhone.
