[QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 3730244, member: 97258"]Sorry, I haven't been on here in a while and so when I saw bacon, I just couldn't control myself. Seriously though, what "kanga" said is very true. It needs to be straight on, it needs enough light, and it needs [I]detail, detail, DETAIL[/I]. Your iPhone has a 12 megapixel camera, which is quite good, but its image sensor is tiny, so you photos will never be a good as they can be.
