While it's possible to transfer an image from other devices to your camera, these would not have the phone's native camera EXIF data attached. So, to answer you question (for the purposes of the camera phone challenge), the best way to load a photo into your camera is to capture an image with your native camera app. Then, you will have an original image with the required validation file. Move a copy of that to Hipstamatic and have fun. It's true you won't be able to capture images in Hipstamatic, but you should be able to apply the effects to the copy of the image captured with the native camera app. |

Not found exactly that but I've been trying Pro Camera (Lite) which you can tap once to set focus point and tap twice for exposure point so it's a little more control |

I did create a ticket and sent it in to SC or Admin for an opinion as to whether the "master" image would meet validation criteria for any challenge. I'll let you know of any response. |
Important SC response to my ticket:
"Unfortunately, the Camera+ app doesn't preserve the complete EXIF, so we can't consider it a valid original. The general rule of thumb is that only the native camera app itself is capable of producing valid originals. Obviously, other apps can be used for the editing stages, just not for the initial capture."
This is now clear. |

I had planned on submitting to one of the current challenges (square crop/bank/shot glass) with a phone pic because nobody has submitted an SGS shot yet so I could have the highest rated shot. I'm guessing that won't last now. |

| I suspect that's why it's two weeks. Maybe they are expecting validation requests. |

For the most part, as hahn23 pointed out earlier, and I received the same reply when I asked, pretty much any app other than the native camera app that came with the phone is a no-no. i predict there will be lots and lots of DQs in this one. They should probably put a note in the challenge description that third party camera apps will likely lead to a DQ.

It'll be interesting to see the proportions of iphone to Android to other types.

The humble phone-cam has finally graduated from side challenge obscurity! Looking forward to this one.

not really, just set the shutter to 1/20 and light your subject with a bright led flashlight. |

| Why advanced editing? I think it would be more fun if it was Basic or even minimal. Instead of putting the advanced spin on it and having to deal with the comments about overediting and the like, lets make the photographers take the best picture they can using lighting setups, reflectors, etc. I have taken many good pics with my iPhone that I would consider posting if this challenge went through. |

And the photographers can use any hardware they choose, yet the final product should relic and portray this "new genre" aka "cell phone photography" |
That's a very good idea. |

its a challenge suggestion thread. where people suggest challenges. its an open debate whether or not its good, if there are enough detractors it probbaly wont get picked.
if this topic is picked, i wont enter, nor will i complain about it or leave the site. i'm merely giving my opinion why i don't like the restriction of hardware. |

im calling the camera itself an added feature to my phone, becuase that's basically what it is. i bought my phone becuase its a phone first, internet device second, mp3 player third, gps fourth, camera last. |
So don't enter the challenge. Nobody's going to miss you.
It would be a challenge for people that want to enter anyway. Not every challenge has to be accessible or wanted by everyone.
