Tutorial – ProCamera HD – Using Expert Mode To Take Control Of Your Outdoor Photography.
I’ve been an active mobile photography for over three years now, starting with the iPhone 3GS and now the iPhone 4S. Over this time I’ve seen camera replacement apps evolve from basic shooting functionality to offering an incredible array of manual adjustments and shooting aides. I must admit, I was surprised to be asked to review an iPad camera replacement app. While I’m comfortable taking photos on my phone, I hadn’t considered picking up the iPad to do the same. I’d watched others shoot video with the new iPad, and knew that the camera was capable of taking great images. As an avid supporter of ProCamera (it’s my go to…

The Olloclip lens system consists of three lenses. A wide-angle, fish-eye and a macro lens. The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180 Degree field-of-view and produces some striking images. When shooting interior shots, the primary concern is almost always light – usually will there be enough of it. The second consideration is the size and scope of the interior that you are trying to capture. Whether it is the inside of a cathedral with beautiful high ceilings or a room that you like, you will often find that with the standard iPhone camera, you aren’t always able to capture the full scope or the place that you’re in, without taking…
