    When you take a photo from an iOS device (with iCloud configured), it will automatically sync/"push" that photo into iCloud when that iOS device is connected to WiFi. It cannot sync over a 3G data connection so far as I know. iCloud will store a 30 day running history of photos, or 1,000 photos from iOS devices (whichever comes first).

    In order to access these photos on your Mac, you need to open iPhoto and click on "Photo Stream." From iPhoto, you will need to sign into your iCloud account (Apple ID and password). Once complete, whenever your Mac is connected to WiFi, iPhoto will automatically download all of your photos from iCloud and store them locally in a photo album for editing,

    You can't see your iPhone photos without using iPhoto for Mac or iOS.
