1. Getting Started Ive been working on an iPhone 5 Version
7.0.3 for this project In the past I have used both traditional
film and digital cameras , but it wasnt until I got an iPhone with
a built in camera that I began to get excited about taking photos
Now Im pretty much an obsessive compulsive photographer, and shoot
nearly every day. Most of my favourites I post to Facebook or
Flickr, but thats about as far as I take my work.
2. On camera effects and editing Before taking a shot, you can
select the following options: 1. LIGHTING: From the top left of the
screen, you can turn the flash to ON, OFF or AUTO. Flash is useless
on objects more than a metre or so away but comes in handy to
fill-in shadowy areas. 2. HDR: High Dynamic Range captures a
greater vibrancy between lightest and darkest areas of an image. It
will pick up more texture, for example, in a sky or washed out
area.
3. Regular vs HDR skies
4. 3. Rotate camera lens front-to-rear: Shoot what isin front
of you or take a selfie by pressing the camera image at top right.
Note that in the second option, youre seeing a mirror image and on
the actual photo rights and lefts will be reversed
5. 4. Filters: Press the 3 interlocking circles icon at the
bottom right to bring up 9 filters you can choose from. Select one
of these before or after you shoot.To the right is a screen shot of
what the photo viewfinder sees when you choose the filter button
before shooting Filters cannot be applied to panoramas or
videos
6. Fade filter option
7. Chromefilter optionMore on this later
8. 5. Scroll along the bottom of your screen viewer to set the
camera toVIDEO, PHOTO, SQUARE and PANO The PANORAMIC option allows
for a 180 view. Hold the camera in the upright (portrait)
orientation, and turn your body all the way to your left. Press the
photo button and a horizontal line and will appear mid-screen. Pan
slowly and steadily to your right, without stopping, aiming to keep
the arrow on the horizontal line. Release your finger when done.Any
photo can be cropped square or rectangular when editing
afterward.
9. Panoramic ViewPanorama shots tend to have a flattening and
curving effect on scenery so shooting a smaller range, less than
180 degrees, often gives a better result.
10. Other features There is also a burst shooting feature that
allows multiple photos to be taken in rapid succession simply by
keeping the shutter depressed. This is excellent for photographing
sports, pets and other moving subjects. When photographing inPHOTO
or SQUARE mode, zoom in by touching two fingers to the screen and
stretching them apart. Note that zooming will make images less
sharp and more pixelated.

Tap each red-eye. Tap again to undo. Remember you can use two
fingers to zoom in for a more accurate result iPhoto has a built in

remove bright dots from areas other than faces.
