Jeff Carlson discusses the pros and cons of third-party iPhone photography accessories, from grips and cages to ND filters and lenses. While these tools can enhance control, ergonomics, and video quality, they often add complexity that detracts from the iPhone's simplicity. He also highlights new iPhone features, including improved selfie cameras, AirPods as shutter triggers and microphones, and practical shooting tips that expand creative possibilities. Details on all this and more can be found in his new Take Control of iPhone Photography. (Part 3) CleanMyMac from MacPaw. Get Tidy Today!

Sorg and Dave Podnar are back with a fresh AwesomeCast packed with mobile photography gear, geeky discoveries, video game updates, and big questions about AI. This week they dig into a massive new iPhone telephoto lens concept, Sorg's dive into Webtoons and Dungeon Crawler Carl, a digital tabletop gaming system from Board.fun, NASA's shift toward a lunar base, and whether anyone should trust Claude to control their computer. Plus: Chachi Says Video Game Minute and a great Women's History Month spotlight on engineer Judith Love Cohen.

What started with a couple of new settings related to the iPhone Camera app quickly devolves into a discussion of Apple's Liquid Glass effect in iOS 26, changes and consistency in the Camera app's interface, and whether all of this is too confusing for most people taking photos with their iPhones.

In this episode of Camera Shake Podcast, we sit down with Rick Sammon—often called the Godfather of Photography—to unpack a lifetime of image-making. From his early underwater adventures to wildlife, travel, and people photography, Rick shares practical lessons that will elevate your work today. We dig into composition, light, timing, and the mindset shifts that help you create rather than just take pictures. You'll hear field-tested tips for bird and wildlife photography, how to connect with people on the road, and where iPhone photography fits into a pro's toolkit. We also discuss staying inspired, building a sustainable photography career, and adapting to new tech (yes, even AI) without losing your voice.

#572 In this episode of the podcast, I talk about what it really means to capture summer memories as a beginner photographer. As a parent with two kids on summer break, I know how chaotic this season can get—plans change, weather interrupts, and sometimes my camera is nowhere near when moments unfold. That's why this episode is all about embracing progress over perfection and being present with your camera, no matter if it's a phone or a “real” camera. I share personal stories, like the time I snapped a treasured summer photo with just my phone because my camera was inside, to prove that it's the feeling and memory that matters, not how technically perfect the shot is.KEY TOPICS COVEREDMaking Everyday Summer Moments Photogenic - Raymond urges listeners not to wait for "perfect" planned events, but to photograph daily summer experiences. He explains that some of the best, most meaningful images come from spontaneous occasions—like family time around a backyard firepit or a child enjoying a popsicle—using whatever camera is on hand. The focus is on presence and being ready to document the essence of summer.Developing Practical Habits for Photography: - The episode encourages the habit of always having a camera nearby, whether that's a phone or a compact camera, and provides tips to reduce friction—keeping batteries charged, storing cameras in convenient locations, and using simple accessories. This approach helps cultivate an instinct for capturing unplanned moments and builds a portfolio over time.Understanding and Utilizing Summer Light: - Raymond highlights the unique, dynamic qualities of summer light—golden hour, harsh midday sun, and artificial light at fairs or night events. He suggests photographic exercises to observe and shoot how light changes throughout the day, offering practical examples and ways to train the eye for compelling compositions in any lighting scenario.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSGolden Hour: The short window of time right after sunrise or before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and flattering. It's popular with photographers because of the golden glow and long shadows.Friction-free Shooting: The practice of minimizing obstacles to carrying and using your camera, such as by keeping it handy, ensuring batteries are charged, and having a plan for spontaneous shooting. This makes photography a natural part of daily life rather than a chore.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can you make photography a more integrated part of your everyday life this summer?Think about a meaningful summer memory—how could you capture it without worrying about technical perfection?In what ways does your relationship to light change throughout the day, and how can you use that to create more dynamic photos?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

This is The Digital Story Podcast #848, June 21, 2022. Today's theme is "5 Tips for Photographers Who Shoot with iPhones." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue I think it's safe to say that photographers approach their iPhone cameras just a little bit different than everyone else. And they are more likely to tap the software's advanced features. In that spirit, I have a show just for you, nimble photographer, who realizes the value of photography with any device, even the one in your pocket. I hope you enjoy the show. Customize Tools > Add Tool to [selected] Tab. You can also remove tools as well to tailor each Tab exactly to your liking. If you want to reorder the Tab icons at the top of the Tools column, hold down the Command key and drag the icon to its new location. Save Your Workspace It's a great feeling to get your Capture One Pro house in order. Now is the time to save your Workspace so you can return to it at any time. This is particularly handy if you have different workspaces for different workflows, or if you have multiple photographers using the same computer. Click on the three vertical dots at the top of the Tool Tab column. Save the Workspace, and you're set. This is also where you can move the Tool Tabs column from one side of the interface to the other. Top 10 E-M1X & E-M1 Mark III Menu Secrets You can read the entire article on the GetOlympus site. Here's one in particular that I liked, and it works with the OM-1 as well! Low ISO Processing - On Custom Menu E1. Exp/ISO/BULB (E-M1 III and E-MX) you will find a feature called Low ISO Processing (on OM-1 it's Camera Menu 1, Low ISO Processing) with two options called Detail Priority and Drive Priority. A quick explanation is that when shooting at low ISO's, if we set this option to Detail Priority, the camera will prioritize image resolution and reducing noise, and in Drive Priority it will focus on frame rate (the number of images per second). So, for my camera bodies and/or custom modes that are set for landscape and macro photography, I choose Detail Priority since frame rate is generally not critical. For wildlife photography, I choose Drive Priority since frame rate is more critical and I am not always shooting at a low ISO. Virtual Camera Club News Have you been unsubscribed?
