[Leica] iPhone 6 pics

[Henning Wulff]

Basically, using optimal uprezzing software, then the usual contrast and colour enhancing, sharpening, noise reduction etc. All of which you would want to do on your own shots if blown up to that size. 

These posters are going up everywhere, and Apple would have to be stupid to cheat by using anything other than an iPhone to produce the original pictures. If they look too good, I'm sure they would be challenged. Besides, the camera in these things is quite good enough to produce good images under many conditions. I used an 8mp camera for a number of years, with lesser software (and some lesser lenses) and was quite happy with the results.

But in the end, I admit stupidity can lurk everywhere.

> The London Underground this weekend was full of advertisements for the iPhone 6, in the form of big posters showing images allegedly shot with the device. I say “allegedly” because in small print it said something like “image enhanced for large reproduction” or some such. I.e. massive manipulation or just plain cheating.
