Our Top 10 Apple iPhone Photo Tips For Beginners
We often get asked “What do I need to start shooting Better Looking Photos on my Apple iPhone?”We Use and Recommend the Apple Native Camera App for Apple iPhone Photography. It does a very good job thanks to Smart HDR, Macro Mode and Live View. For Long Exposure Photography, we use ReeXpose for RAW Long Exposure Photography. We don’t use Apple Camera for Video. Check List – 10 Things To Check Before Leaving The Studio
1) Apple iPhone with Moment Safety Nylon Wrist Strap.2) Zeiss Lens Wipes and / or MagicFiber Cleaning Cloths. 3) Moment Lens Cleaning Pen. 4) IOS Remote Control with Spare CR2016 Batteries. 5) 10,000 mAh 20W USB-C Power Bank. 6) Apple Watch For Remote Viewing. 7) Monopod and / or Tripod with Smartphone Clamp. 8) White Balance Card. 9) Bens Deet Wipes and Alcohol Wipes For Cleanup. 10) Business Cards. You never know who you will meet out on the trail. Top 10 Apple iPhone Photo Tips For Beginners
1) Check Apple iPhone Battery Level and Storage Space before leaving the Studio. Carry 10,000 mAh 20W USB-C Power Banks for Quick Recharging of the Apple iPhone.2) Clean your Apple iPhone Cameras and Lenses before and after every outing. Carry Zeiss Lens Wipes and MagicFiber Cleaning Cloths. 3) Use Grids For Level Horizons – There’s nothing worse than a Landscape Photography with a Tilted Horizon. To get the Best Level Horizons, turn on the Grid Option. We recommend the Rule of 3rd Grid and the Golden Ratio. 4) Use Manual Focus – Auto Focus takes an average focus of the entire image, but for sharper photos, use Manual Focus. Tap on the screen to focus on an area in the Foreground, Middle Ground or Background. Once focused, you can also manually adjust the exposure on the screen. 5) Use a Sturdy Tripod – Keeping your Apple iPhone perfectly still when taking photos will greatly improve your focus and sharpness. We use and recommend a Manfrotto Befree Tripod with a Manfrotto Ball Head. It can support a Full Size DSLR Camera. 6) IOS Remote Control – Keep the camera very still when taking a photo. Shutter Speeds can often drop below 1/60th of a second, resulting in blurry hand held photos. Use an iPhone Tripod and Clamp (Photo: Left), plus an IOS Remote Control. Don’t bump or shake the Apple iPhone while shooting. For TimeLapses and Slow Shutter Shots, such as Waterfalls, Lakes and Streams, always use an Apple iPhone Tripod and an IOS Remote Control. 7) Camera Filters – These can be easily added to your Apple iPhone using a Moondog Labs Filter Mount (Photo: Left). Circular Polarizing Filters can help reduce reflections on wet surfaces. Variable ND Filters are required for Long Exposures (1/2 S –2 S), such as smoothing a Waterfall, Lake or Stream. Camera Filters can be added to your Apple iPhone using a Moondog Labs Filter Mount. We recommend Moment 52mm Filters over the Moondog Labs Filter Mount and Moment 67mm Filters over the Moment Filter Mount, when shooting with Moment Lenses. 8) Better Composition – Ever wonder why some photos look better than others? Composition is key! Try to use Grids and incorporate the Foreground, Midground and Background into your photos using the Rule of 3rds or the Golden Ratio. 9) Focus On Your Subject – What is the subject of your Photo? Use Leading Lines to help draw a person into your photograph towards the subject. 10) Aspect Ratios – If you know the Aspect Ratio for your final Photo, say a 10” x 8” Print for a Photography Contest, shoot in 5:4 Aspect Radio. This will aid in your Composition and the Rule of 3rds Grid will line up correctly, plus you won't have to crop off the sides. Try using an Anamorphic Lens for a Wide Panorama Look.
