Don't Use The In-App Camera
Don't Use The In-App Camera
Everyone knows that smart phones have pretty decent cameras on them these days, but if you’re shooting directly from the Instagram app there is a better way! Even using the regular camera app on an iPhone gives you a lot more control over exposure, focus and HDR (high dynamic range) options – taking advantage of these (with a bit of practice) gives you more power to get closer to the image you might already have in your head.
Alternatively, there are other great apps that let you have even more control over ISO, aperture and plenty of other camera tricks. You can even find ones to let you take photo bursts (great for action photography) or slow the shutter speed right down to let in more light or capture motion blur.
Ideally of course, you’d want a decent DSLR to shoot every picture and if you’re lucky enough to own one the best way to transfer images to your phone is via the iCloud or an app like Dropbox.
But then again, as a wise man once said, “the best camera is the one you have with you” so don’t think you have to splash the cash; awesome shots are are taken every day on phones.
