Here are 10 excellent ideas for getting the most of your iPhone photos
Thanks to cell phones, everyone can be a photographer. That is, assuming you know how to utilise the camera correctly. It feels like every new iPhone release includes a new camera upgrade that is hard to pass up for photographers worldwide. The newest iPhone 12 Pro is no exception to that norm.
With a few minor upgrades, the iPhone 12 Pro enables photographers to take professional-quality photos (that can even be shared to Shutterstock) (that can even be uploaded to Shutterstock). In today’s post, we’re going over a few features of the iPhone 12 Pro and how to utilise them to your advantage while producing professional photos.
The iPhone is an excellent gadget for taking pictures: It has incredible technology, clever software, and it's simple enough for your grandma to use. It has limits, as every camera does, but you can get around most of them by being clever about your snaps. Here are 10 of my favourite suggestions to assist you along the road.
1. Use the iPhone camera shortcut
There are lots of great third-party camera apps out there. Still, if you want a quick shot of your tiny cousins being cute or a rare appearance of the family cat, you need speed on your side — the speed that you may not get if you have to unlock your device, find your app, tap on the icon, and wait for it to load. Swipe up on the iPhone camera shortcut from the Lock screen, though, and you may instantly snap that photo with no substantial wait time. You can also do something similar when in an app or on your Home screen by sliding up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center, then pressing on the Camera button.
2. Experiment with third-party applications
If you're not in a hurry to take a fast picture, I recommend installing some of the third-party manual camera applications available. Apple's given a lot of settings available to developers, including shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and exposure, which means that you can frequently take a picture with far better clarity than you would be able to through the default camera program.
Bonus tip: Though you can't assign the camera shortcut buttons to third-party applications, you can place such apps in your Dock, so that they're readily accessible from any area of your Home screen.
3. Target your shooting mode around the final outcome
Apple's default camera app provides various modes for capturing photos, including panoramic, square, and photo. It may sound like common-sense advice, but I find that it actually helps to photograph in the format you intend to publish for — for instance, when I'm capturing photos I want to post to Instagram, I shoot in square mode rather than shooting in photo mode and cropping the image later. It helps you properly frame your image rather than attempting to create new framing after the fact.
4. Follow the rule of thirds
Your iPhone has a grid option available, which may assist you in aligning up photos such that they follow the rule of thirds. You may set this option on by accessing Settings > Photos & Camera and activating the Grid switch
Recent versions of the iPhone flash are considerably improved over their predecessors. However, the flash is still simply an LED light at the end of the day: It's just not that strong, and even with the TrueTone technology, it may sometimes produce a weird colour onto your photos. Instead, try shooting in natural lighting sources, or if you're shooting at night, utilise the Camera app's exposure slider to increase light in the picture. If you don't mind carrying about a little bit of additional gear, I also suggest Photojojo's Pocket Spotlight, which produces much more light than your iPhone's small flash.
6. Use Burst mode for action shots
Chasing around a group of kids?
Going on a rough ride?
Attempting sports photography?
Whatever the situation, burst mode (available for the iPhone
5s and above) maybe precisely the solution you're searching for to take the
finest pictures.
Apple added burst mode initially for taking clean photos of moving objects, but I think it works well when your camera is moving, too. By snapping images in rapid succession, you're more likely to capture a clear shot, and you have more choices to pick from. To shoot in Burst mode, simply touch and hold down the shutter button (or volume up button) when you want to begin. While holding down the shutter button, you'll see a counter display at the bottom of the screen, letting you know how many pictures you've taken. To stop shooting, simply raise your finger, and the burst will be saved to your Camera Roll.
7. Turn on HDR Auto. You can manually turn HDR on or off from the camera app, but I prefer iOS 8's HDR Auto (available for the iPhone 5s and up) — it uses information from your iPhone's sensor as you point your device at a subject to determine when an image might need HDR correction, and only then does it turn on HDR mode?
(You'll know HDR is enabled by the tiny yellow. "HDR" box that shows at the bottom of the screen.) This may save a tiny amount of additional storage space on your smartphone and stops you
from shooting HDR needlessly.
If you're trying to take macro photography or want to
prevent your iPhone's camera from attempting to capture a different topic in
the frame, it may be constructive to lock your focus point on your present
subject.
9. Slide the exposure meter to brighten (or darken) pictures
If an image is too blown out or underexposed for your taste, you may correct it before taking the photo by changing the yellow exposure slider adjacent to the focus area. Just touch once on the focus square and exposure slider, then use the sun symbol to raise your exposure by sliding upward or reduce exposure by sliding downward.
10. Snap pictures using the volume button
Because the iPhone is so tiny, pressing the digital shutter button may create camera shaking and blur the picture you're attempting to capture. Instead, you may press the volume up button while in the Camera app to take a picture – and eliminate camera shaking altogether.
