Preserve Your Family Memories
…using your iPhone.
In the Northeast, where I live, things are getting warmer. The plant nurseries are opening and my wife is itching to get into the garden. For me, that means folks should get ready to take pictures of the garden. It’s a good idea to check the camera directions…even if you are using an iPhone. If you take a few minutes to check the directions you will probably be surprised to see what your iPhone’s camera can do. And if you go to the Photos app and then click on Edit, you’ll find a large number of controls you can utilize to enhance your images. Go to Photos –> Edit. If you click on the Magic Wand, you’ll be shocked at what you can do with one click. No kidding!
More than a hundred years ago, George Eastman (the creator of the Kodak camera and company) said, “You push the button, we do the rest.” He was talking about the Kodak cameras. I wonder how he would have felt about this button!
This one innocent looking button is part of the iPhone’s editing function that’s built into your iPhone. I clicked it for a photo and it made eight intelligent changes to the photo…with one click! Impressive.
Photoshop, Lightroom, and a zillion other apps can improve your photos greatly. But 8 changes with one click would certainly have made Eastman envious.
Experiment with Edit when you take your next iPhone pictures. It’s easy, fun, and free. What a combo!
More about it next time…
Doors make interesting photos.
I found this one to be intriguing. It made me think about what interesting information is within.
How many people have sought help from the other side?
How many people were happy with what they learned?
How many people were saddened with what they learned?
I wonder. Do you?
This is my “Gameboy” look via the NOMO iPhone app. A new look for selfies? 🙂
Years ago, when I was a wedding photographer I used a Hasselblad. It took 120 or 220 film. As a wedding photographer (way back in the 1980s) we used flash for just about all of the photos indoors. If you used a rectangular format camera you would need to shift the flash every time you changed from vertical to horizontal. Very annoying. That’s what was great about the Hasselblad. It took square photos…no shifting needed.
Now, if you use an iPhone, square is an option. It’s the option I used most of the time. It allows you to “crop” in the camera (iPhone). It’s one of my favorite features. If you don’t already shoot in squares try it. Maybe you’ll become a square like me.
