    Mobile Photography & Art – Tip of the Day – Set Up An Alternative Face ID in iOS 12

    2018-09-21 / Comments Off on Mobile Photography & Art – Tip of the Day – Set Up An Alternative Face ID in iOS 12

    We are re-igniting our Tip of the Day section and we have a great one here that you may not be aware of yet. With iOS 12 it’s now possible to set up an ‘alternative appearance’ for unlocking your iPhone X, Xs, Xs Max or XR. Previously, only one facial id could do this. This maybe a useful feature if you need to unlock your child’s device, or perhaps if you share a device. Whatever the reason, here’s how you do it: By the way, if you’d like to read our previous tips, please go here.

    PolarPro Mobile Filter System

    2018-05-24 / Comments Off on PolarPro Mobile Filter System

    Like many of you, I came to photography back in 35 mm film days. Nights (with others), in a darkroom gave me immense pleasure. The simplicities of mobile photography are extraordinary and you won’t find a bigger advocate of it because of this. That’s not to say that I don’t excited about accessories though now and again and right now, I will say in my typically British understated way, that from what I’ve seen so far, the Iris – Mobile Filter System by PolarPro and expansion pack, looks quite ingenious. Compatible with iPhone X, iPhone 7/ Plus, iPhone 6/7/8 and Pixel 2/2XL mobile devices, the Iris Mobile Filter System includes…

    Mobile Videography – Cinematic ITALY – Shot on iPhone X in Brescia

    2018-01-08 / Comments Off on Mobile Videography – Cinematic ITALY – Shot on iPhone X in Brescia

    Matteo Bertoli is a videographer whom we have often featured and admired, not least with his latest film, filmed during the 2017 Christmas holidays when he went back home to Brescia in Italy. “I decided to go out and shoot some clips with my iPhone X. Everything was handheld. No slider, no tripod, no lenses. Just my iPhone X and my hands. I used Filmic Pro to record every single clip. The app on the new iPhone X is absolutely perfect. No lags and no problems at all. 100% compatible with iOS 11. I recorded everything in 24p Filmic Extreme quality in 4k. Everything was edited and graded in DaVinci…

    Mobile Photography – iPhone X – Reviewed – DxOMark

    2017-11-06 / Comments Off on Mobile Photography – iPhone X – Reviewed – DxOMark

    Just published by DxOMark, the iPhone X review makes interesting reading. “It’s exceptional for stills, achieving the best Photo sub-score yet at 101 points. The overall score is affected by a slightly lower result for video, but at 97 points, the iPhone X ties with the Huawei Mate 10 for the second-highest score in our database of overall mobile image quality. For portraits, the improved telephoto lens delivers sharp results even indoors, and the bokeh simulation produces a natural and pleasing background blur. Outdoors, exposures are outstanding, with great dynamic range, impressive skies, good fine detail, and punchy color rendering. Add to all that the extra features on the front-facing…
