iPhone Photography Tips

There's a lot of excitement that Apple will be releasing the new iPhone7. We'll have to see what shows up. I've read several articles, mostly in Flipboard that there will be big changes in the iPhone7 camera. The idea of a two lens option is not a new one but maybe by now Apple will have worked it out, unlike some of the others who have already tried.
No matter what Apple comes up with the basics of photography will not change. Here are a few of the basics that we all need to remember:
  1. Clean the lens. Everyone has to carry their phone either in their pocket or purse/backpack. The lint and crumbs or whatever is in there will make your images blurry.
  2. Hold your phone steady. Using your phone everyday, it becomes a part of you. When you are taking a picture you should think of it as a camera. Remember you can use either the shutter release on the screen, the volume up button and if you still have ear buds you can use that as a shutter release (they may not exist on the iPhone7). By using any of these shutter releases you will take sharper photos by keeping the camera steady.
  3. Horizontal Photos. I prefer to shoot horizontal photos. When doing that you capture more picture. You can crop a vertical out of a horizontal but if you try to crop a horizontal out of a vertical you will have less image to work with.
  4. Use the Focus and Exposure Lock feature. The exposure option can really enhance your images. Use it! See below.

5. Keep it simple. Your composition should be simple for the most dynamic image. In the sample above you see I also have the
    grid lines turned on. Use them. Remember to use the Rule of Thirds for your best compositions.
