By “cheater”, I mean I use my iPhone to take the bulk of my personal pictures. So, I’m cheating on my big, fancy professional Nikon. How’s that working out for me? Eh, pretty good. My iPhone is always around, it’s easy to carry, and it’s got good enough resolution to print very nice 5×7 pictures, thankyouverymuch. Now, don’t let me lie to you- I know when I need to use my big camera set up- and it always pays off for me….but you really just can’t beat the portability of your iPhone and the myriad of fancy photo apps. My favorite? The VSCO app…and here’s why:
Here’s a random snapshot I took while waiting for my dearest husband to hurry up and get out of the wine section at Anderson’s
A little tweaking in the app and voila!
The VSCO website has all kinds of help app tutorials here for you to further your iPhone photography skills…um, I mean skills. The app itself is very simple and intuitive to use, and you can control almost every aspect of the photo- Exposure, Contrast, Temperature, Highlights, Shadows and Tints. They also have 7 basic presets to choose from to get your photo started. So, if you are an instagram addict like me, go ahead and splurge on the VSCO app. You will really enjoy it! If you hate it, come back and yell at me. I’ll buy you coffee and try to change your mind.
P.S. Come and find me on Instagram, and I’ll follow you back. Like I said above, I’m a total Instagram addict and love seeing image streams!
