Mobile photography fans have hailed cameras on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as a significant improvement over the previous iPhones.
These smartphones carry optical image stabilization (OIS), fast autofocus, Digital Camera color gamut, 12-megapixel sensors, and various other improvements. The iPhone 7 Plus has two cameras which allow a new portrait mode and optical zoom lens, thanks to iOS 10.
Some reviewers have praised image output on the iPhone 7, but others have shown skepticism about the gadget’s performance. After all, the latest Apple handset is as good as they get. Here are some tips that can make your iPhone 7 photographs stand out.
Low-Light Images
The f/1.8 aperture on the iPhone 7, can create magical results in dark scenes. Just remember that you should not use the telephoto lens on the iPhone 7 Plus, which makes the image much darker (f/2.8).
Live Photos
This feature has been on the iPhone for a year. It allows the user to edit their photo before sharing the images on social media. Tweak the color balance or exposure, then post away.
Telephoto Lens
The iPhone 7 Plus offers a secondary lens which offers 2x optical zoom which makes it simple to snap distant targets. And, you don’t have to worry about the pixelation that people dread which is usually self-understood when using digital zooming.
The portrait camera mode gives the shallow depth-of-field effect. This makes the photo’s subject stand out in sharpness from an artfully blurred background. This mode appeared last week with the iOS 10 update. Here are some tips on shooting with the lens.
Accessorize
If you listen to people on the internet, you won’t touch a selfie stick again. However, there are some accessories that will assist you with mobile photography, including tripods and remote shutters.
The latter is a great investment, even if you only plan on just using them for taking long-exposure photos, recording time lapses, and taking selfies.
Apps Are Key
There’s no shortage of apps that beat the current iPhone proprietary software when it comes to taking, sharing, and editing your photos. Try out alternatives, including Manual or Microsoft Pix for photo taking, and Prisma has a few awesome filters. As for sharing, you should choose your favorite social media app. Just download their app and you can start uploading your images. Tools such as Instamacro can then help you get more followers when you add these great travel images.
Be Creative
There are no rules when it comes to creativity, there are only guidelines.
Here are some pointers you can use to create better photographs.
You can create a balanced composition, align your subject diagonally. To capture the moment’s essence, it’s best to keep the layout simple, or even minimalistic. Reflections and symmetry can be used as tools to add an artistic flair to your shots. Shadows give an extra layer of drama to your photos, and shooting from the subject’s height can make a significant difference.
