Recipe for Capturing Spring Photos with an iPhone!

Me Ra Koh

Let’s add in more drama.  Light is what gives us drama.  Position yourself so you can get the sun in your frame.

Play with Direct Light!  Point your iPhone up at a single branch, so the sun is shining straight into the frame.  Slowly move your iPhone around and notice how the sun gets more distinct when it’s shining from behind a branch.  If nothing is blocking the sun, notice how there is a white blob in your frame instead of a ball of light with rays. There are some definite rays that we can see, but the sun is also taking over the photo’s story.  What if we used the branches to give the sun even more definition by just taking a half step to the left or right.

    Thanks for this post. I tried taking some photos when our oak trees were budding, but kept having problems with the sun. This should help.
