Took some pics with my phone that I was never able to take with my camera for some reason, take a look:






Is that cool or am I the only one that thinks it is ?
 
Looks like you are using the HDR mode, hence what looks like multiple images:

Now you can take great photos that capture a wider range of light intensity using the new high dynamic range (HDR) setting. After selecting HDR, just point iPhone 4 at your subject and shoot. iPhone 4 automatically captures three photos of the scene — each with different exposure levels. Then iPhone 4 layers the shots together to create a single photo that combines the best elements of each shot and more accurately represents the wide range of light in the scene. Both the regular shot and the HDR photo appear in the Camera Roll.

Looks very cool.

My wife is replacing her phone with the new iPhone. I predict that she will find me playing with it a great deal. :D
 
is it just me or is the hammer still cocked in the first and second pic? maybe a slow shutter speed?

Thing will be using a slow shutter speed and a wide-open lens to compensate for the lack of light where she is shooting. Shutter spends more time taking the picture of the gun with the hammer cocked, so that shows up fairly well. Then the hammer drops and takes only a split-second as the round fires, giving you that nice burst of flame at the muzzle. The gun action works, leaving the hammer cocked again as the camera finishes taking the picture. There is a bit of blur there; this is from the time in which the action of the gun was actually operating.

If you are using a digital camera, try setting the "film speed" adjustment for something very low: 100 ASA or less, if you can. That will slow down even an automatic shutter so you should be able to start getting compressed motion.

I did some of this work several years ago, using an old Miranda 35mm and a Ricoh 120 twin-lens reflex, shooting at night in a dark gravel-pit. Set the shots up by the car's headlights, then adjusted camera for focus, adjusted the lens aperture for the amount of light indicated by the chart on the big flash, THEN set the shutter for half a second and doused the lights on the car. Camera shutters synchronise with the opening of the REAR screen on a focal-plane shutter, so the flash goes off the instant that the rear screen is fully open, lighting the subject who is holding the rifle; half a second later, the front screen closes, so you have half a second to play with. This is plenty, especially when you consider that the average person's reaction time is generally much less than HALF of this. So the camera button would be pressed, the rear shutter screen would go, the flash would pop, the shooter would see the flash and pull the trigger of the SAFN-49 which was loaded with very special .30-06 shells: light bullet and a charge of very slow powder. Cartridge would go "BANG!" and there would be about 4 feet of flame out the muzzle and a jet of flame coming up from the gas bleed and the red-hot casing would trace a path halfway to the ground. It was all very impressive...... and now you know how to do it for yourself.

One odd point is that the film, which was just the cheap 100 ASA stuff, would actually record MUCH more muzzle flash than the unaided eye could detect. I suspect that much the same thing is happening with this particular "telephone" which, right now, is taking pictures that a lot of pros would admire.

Very nice work!

DO hope your Fine Lady enjoyed her debut as a model! For photos like these, she deserves a nice dinner.

I will try that with my $200 canon sd750 and see what I get lol, chances are I won't top this.

its a crappy phone but great everything else

Odd-I've gone through a number of phones, and three Blackberry units to date, and my iPhone4 gives me the best phone quality by far. The only one that comes remotely close was my Samsung u740, which was also a fantastic phone.
