A video portfolio I quickly made using entirely my iPhone 4S and apps on it. For the videos, see my timelapse post, for more iPhone photos - follow me with #runningronin on istragr.am.
For my regular DSLR photos - just hit some of my location links to the right :)

Tokyo Timelapse

Recently bough an awesome app for my iPhone 4s for $1.99 - its called "Timelapse."
Such app - has one simple use - make timelapse videos... (as the very "original" name implies).

The video above and those below have all ben made with such app (for more on the apps I use for iPhone photography visit my guide). If you end up buying the app, here are a few suggestions:

• put the app in airplane mode while its cranking on making the timelapse - a call will interrupt the process.
• do not select music for the video - even if its a feature it is a bit buggy and has made a lot of my trials crash.
• buy an iPhone tripod.
