Photography Tips, Tricks & Techniques Ten rules for great iPhone photography The big challenge when you shoot images with an iPhone is to successfully capture great-looking photos from a gadget that’s primarily designed for chatting.

Another way to ensure that you’re always ready to take a shot is to stick the Camera app on your first home screen, or even in the Dock at the bottom of the screen. In iOS 7, you can also quickly access the camera in the Control Center. 2. Capturing a good photo isn’t just a matter of knowing the right settings. Be careful to keep the camera level, too; nothing ruins a photo like a tilted horizon. 3.

Want to fill the frame? 9. 10.

Canon L lenses are top quality pieces throughout the line. The image quality of the Canon L lenses is generally as good as it gets.
