When the photographs present a strong contrast in lighting, good use HDR. This feature allows you to combine images with different exposure metering, so that there are more natural shots. But... when using HDR need to hold fast to the iPhone, and in the frame should not fall moving objects, otherwise a part of the photo will be blurred.
