A very special promo code
Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 7:00AM | Glyn Evans Yesterday I announced a very special promo code offer, well today I am please to announce that app.
The good news is, it is the very very good Photo fx from Tiffen that I reviewed earlier this week, the bad news is I only have 3 promo codes to give away, so to give everyone an equal chance to win one, I have come up with the following challenge.
Tell me why you use your iPhone to take photo's, by completing the following.
"I love taking photo's with my iPhone because......."
The best/funniest/original 3 answers will each get one of the promo codes.
This challenge will end at 6pm GMT on Friday 6th February, and the promo codes will be emailed out later that day/evening, so get writing.
As with all promo's you will need a valid US iTunes account to redeem your code, and just in case this is the first time you've tried to get a promo code from me, you need to write your answers in the comments section below, not forgetting to include your email address in the required field when commenting, else I can't send you the code.

"I love taking photo's with my iPhone because...."
OMG! Glyn!, I´m Spanish, Shakespeare languaje isn´t my ummm, i can´t exprease my self!
I tell you in spanish and then you... ejem!.
Me encanta hacer fotos con mi iPhone porque así las llevo siempre conmigo y puedo enseñarselas a los amigos, tengo numerosas aplicaciones con las que divertirme tratandolas en el momento sin la necesidad de sentarme cara al Mac, ademas de que me salen unas fotos extraordinarias y gracias al iPhone y a las fotos y reportajes publicados en iPhoneography me gusta cada dia mas la fotografía, hasta el punto de que voy comprarme una Canon 450d con un 50mm f1.8, 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 y un 70-300mm f4-5.6. Voy a pegar el salto a lo grande ya que con el iPhone me ha pegado muy fuerte el tema de la fotografía.
Me encanta hacer fotos con mi iPhone porque lo llevo siempre encima y me permite capturar esos momentos en los que si llevara una reflex la gente no saldría tan natural, porque puedo esconderlo, pufff, i´m loving it!.
Sorry Glyn!, but if i try to tell you all of this in english, i´ll don´t write more of two lines.
Thank´s for all.

"I love taking pictures with my iPhone because the carry can teach me and my friends, I have many fun applications that treaty at the time without the need to sit face to the Mac, besides that I get some pictures and special thanks andalusia iPhone and the photos and stories published in iPhoneography every day but I like photography, to the point where I buy a Canon 450D with a 50mm f1.8, 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 and 70-300mm f4 - 5.6. I'm going to hit the big leap to the iPhone because I was stuck very strong theme of the photograph.
I love taking pictures with my iPhone because it carries over and allows me to capture those moments that bring a reflex if people do not come as natural, because I can hide, pufff, I'm loving it!."
.....sometimes a scene just cries out to be taken with a 2.0 Mega-pixel camera phone, instead of the $600 10.1 Mega-pixel Digital SLR. Just gives it a nice edge.
I love taking photos with my iphone because of its ability to take photos in low light, without a flash. I also like the bokeh effect I can sometimes get with the wide apertures.
I love taking photos with my iPhone because once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a scrip writer sat grinning wildly as they typed the phrase, "One time, at band camp..." into his Powerbook and later sold his script to Hollywood. If you've seen the move, you know that the story goes that someone puts a flute you-know-where, and it becomes one of the best-remembered lines of American Pie. My theory is that, because that line was so novel, it's probably somehow based in fact. And I'm also betting that someone, somewhere was REALLY wishing they had a camera at the time. This is why when it comes to my iPhone, I Never Leave Home Without It (tm) and enjoy the company of the musically-inclined.
I love taking photos with my iPhone because nothing screams out "HIGH QUALITY CAMERA ON A $300 PHONE" then taking a dull, pixelated (not to mention shaky- Thanks for Image Stabilizer Apple!), and dark picture of a dolphin jumping out of the ocean for .2 seconds.
Wait, what's that...? NO ZOOM FEATURE?! *clenches fist and violently shakes at ceiling*
EXT. CITY STREET.

Exits Camera app, Finger pages over to--
But you left your lens and filters at home--
QUADCAMERA app. Snaps a 4-way portrait of flower.
You even forgot your tripod at home--

Photoshop? That's at home too--
Opens Photogene app, selects flower photo and changes color to YELLOW..

Bingo. You're set.
PHONE CALL from Johnny Appleseed.
That's the iPhone. Solving life's problems, one app at a time.
TITLES: "iPhone 3G" "Apple Logo" (sorry can't type it on this PC)
I love taking photo's with my iPhone because, like my American Express Card, it is everywhere I need it to be.
This is only a bit of fun, so keep them coming :)
I love taking photos with my iPhone because....
it is.....
I am.....
we do....often....
.....and we like to share!
Joe: Hey, did you hear what happened to that guy that went around saying, "I love taking photos with my iPhone because..." to everyone?
Bob: Oh, you mean Steve?
Joe: Yeah.. I'm sorry to tell you he is currently in a mental institution. It appears an app called Photo fx from Tiffen was too powerful for the poor guy to handle. It had so many features that Steve didn't know his left from his right anymore and went crazy.
Bob: That's a shame....
Joe: Yup, sure is...
POOR STEVE! :'(. (I MISS YOU)
And the winners are...?
Diego
There is still just over 4hrs to go before this promo closes, as it is currently 1:46pm (13:46) in the UK, and the challenge ends at 6.00pm GMT (18:00hrs), but do not fear the announcement will come shortly after the close time.
Peer pressure? Maybe... Everyone who visits iphoneography.com including Glyn yourself loves taking photos with an iPhone! Why not I myself?
Ego? Maybe... Such an expensive phone with a 2-MP camera, can you believe it? Hey I've got to show my friends that it's definitely better than 2-MP! It has to be better, it is better indeed. Oops, now you get what I mean :-)
Cool? Maybe... Let me show you this picture that I've taken with my phone. Slide to unlock... flip from one photo to the next one... zoom in and zoom out... wow! wow! wow!
Well, maybe those are the real reasons but I just love not only taking photos with my iphone but manipulate them afterwards with tons of photography apps. I cannot live without this one as well. So Glyn, you'd better let me win a code. Thank you!
I love taking photo's with my iPhone because it is apples technology which doubles the fun; does not matter what you are doing. Either taking photo's or editing photos.
Thanks Glyn
