![]() If you shoot (or want to shoot) macro photography, then this year's upgrade is a no-brainer. Be ready! As I always say, shoot now and edit later. Look for more than just the big mammals! Use the macro lens to capture details like butterflies and flowers.ĭon’t miss the shot by spending too much time reviewing in the field! Animals are unpredictable, and even if you have a good shot you want to look at, an even better one could come and go at any moment. ![]() Shoot ProRAW! It’s a game changer considering the erratic lighting conditions. Instead of scrambling to refocus quickly in the field, you can just change focus at the perfect frame later in your editing bay. ![]() This is especially cool in documentary-style work where action may unfold in ways you don’t expect. What I’m talking about is not just the the shallow depth-of-field effect, but it’s the fact that Cinematic mode allows you to choose your focus points after capture. The release of Cinematic mode marks another one of those fundamental shifts where software, unbounded by the limitations of hardware, has opened up entirely new possibilities in the creative process. We shot with Cinematic mode and a ton with the 3x lens (which is surprisingly cinematic as it is).Īs I watched this piece, particularly the interview in Cinematic mode, it dawned on me that we’re moving beyond the world of just computational photography and into the realm of computational videography. The following short film is shot entirely on iPhone 13 Pro/13 Pro Max with a DJI OM 4 gimbal. Ernest and the importance of the conservation work he and his team are doing throughout Tanzania. Now with Focus in iOS 15, I set up a custom Focus mode (Settings > Focus > + > Custom) that automatically turns on Do Not Disturb and allows zero notifications while I’m using the native Camera app and Halide camera app.Īs part of ongoing work here in Ruaha, we wanted to share the story of Dr. This method works, but it requires me to be connected to the Internet and to remember to turn it on (and off). It’s pretty simple-I say the words “Shoot Mode” to Siri and the script automatically turns on Do Not Disturb and sets the screen brightness to 75% (not a magic number, but just wanted it to be consistent). To solve this problem previously, I created a shortcut in the Shortcuts app called Shoot Mode. It drives me nuts when I’m shooting with my iPhone and I get a phone call or a notification just at the moment I want to capture a photograph, or if I’m shooting a video/time-lapse and get a phone call, it interrupts the capture altogether. I was also really curious about the new Focus mode and how it might be useful as a photographer. First, the new Photos app and the ability to view/adjust metadata, photo location data, and more. When iOS 15 was announced and featured this year at WWDC, there were a few things that caught my eye as a photographer. It doesn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all preset has been applied, but instead it feels like Anderson slightly pops from the background-his skin tones remain accurate and the background has a pleasant but not overpowering warmth to it. Take a look at this image of Anderson (our awesome guide) below and notice the sense of depth. I customized my own Photographic Style to be -30 Tone and +15 Warmth to more closely match my preferences. ![]() I generally find iPhone images slightly brighter and slightly cooler than my preference, so I love the idea of being able to customize how the iPhone processes photos at the image pipeline level versus correcting individual HEIC files later. This means there’s a lot more depth instead of the flat nature of a preset. Photographic Styles are different because they are aware of the subject and apply different settings to different objects in the scene. ![]() The tone and color balance is applied universally across the whole image and it feels artificial, flat, and unimaginative. One of the main reasons I’ve always steered away from presets is their lack of depth. I grew up using Photoshop and come from a background of manually perfecting each pixel in my pictures-basically the opposite of preset culture, which is to choose a “look” and then apply it to the entire image (and sometimes to entire batches of images). ![]()
