How to take distorted iPhone photos: Go outdoors into the bright sunlight. This trick requires a very fast shutter speed, so the brighter the light, the better. Twist the phone with your wrist as you’re pressing the shutter. Unless it’s your subject that is moving, a quick smooth twist of the iPhone is all you need. For the best results, start the twisting movement just before pressing the shutter. Otherwise, you’ll find it difficult to time the shot, and the twisting effect isn’t smooth. A subject that’s geometrically rigid will work much more effectively than a curvy less distinct subject. A vertical skyscraper will look wild. In comparison, a Frank Gehry museum will look about the same. Try using the iPhone camera on any moving object. The results are completely different, but helicopter blades and airplane propellers are good, as are bicycle wheels. Note: This works with the fancy new iPhones as well as the obsolete older ones. A second distortion effect can be achieved by rapidly wobbling the camera back and forth while taking the photo. This gives some really interesting results, especially with landscapes. As before, you need a lot of light to really make it work. (via Take Distorted and Psychedelic iPhone Photos - Wired How-To Wiki)
