leave a comment »

  • Set your phone on a tripod.
  • Tap the up-arrow to display more iPhone camera settings at the bottom of the screen.
  • Then select the Timer icon.
  • Select either a 3-second or 10-second delay.
  • When you press the shutter button, the camera will start counting down the seconds.
  • Now you can get into position in front of the camera.
  • When the shutter fires, the camera will take a burst of 10 shots.
  • You can then choose the best photos from the sequence and delete the rest (just like you do when selecting your favorite burst mode photos).

leave a comment »

  • Before you take a photo, always check whether the brightness levels look good.
  • If the image looks too bright or too dark, adjust the exposure before you press the shutter button.
  • Tap to set focus on your subject.
  • Swipe up or down on the screen to adjust exposure.
  • Swipe up to make image brighter.
  • Swipe down to make image darker.
  • In general, aim to capture as much colour and detail as possible.
  • To capture a silhouette photo, you’ll need to under-expose so that your subject appears completely black.
