If you're a self-confessed photo geek who just so happened to received a shiny new Apple iPhone 4 for Christmas, this is for you. Because here are our Top 10 iPhone Photography Apps.

Sure, you're never going to pack your iPhone over your D700 for a planned photo-shoot, but you will always have it in your pocket and the iPhone 4 now takes pretty decent photos, so why not embrace that little camera.

And what better way to show it a bit of love than downloading a couple of photography apps and doing something cool with those pictures.

So with no further ado, here are our pick of the best iPhone photography apps… unfortunately not all of them are free. Sorry about that.

Gorillacam: From Joby, the makers of Gorrillapod tripods this app add self-timer and time-lapse functions to the iPhone camera as well as a 4X digital zoom and rapid-fire shooting. And no, you don't need a Gorrillapod to use it.

Hipstamatic: If you would rather be rocking a plastic toy camera but enjoy the convenience of your iPhone Hipstamatic offers you the chance to take retro-styled images and swap lenses, film and flash settings.
