Take pro photos on your mobile
 Get up close for macro shotsIt’s said that out of limitations comes creativity. The iPhone camera’s fixed focal length can feel restrictive, however it can also force you to find inventive ways to compose and frame your subjects. While the iPhone does feature a digital zoom – which can be tempting to use when photographing a subject up close – this is almost always best avoided as it will degrade image quality. Always get right up close to the subject for macro shots. Make the most of available light The iPhone’s built-in flash can be useful for throwing extra light on a subject, but it’s also prone to creating that rabbit-in-the-headlights look characteristic of cheap point-and-shoot cameras. Making the most of your iPhone camera involves making the most of the light you have. Placing a subject near a window when shooting a portrait can give you a soft, directional light to create form and depth. When shooting outside, you often have to wait for the best natural conditions. Have a play with Camera+ There’s a bewildering array of quirky and inventive camera apps out there, but the one I always come back to is Camera+. Camera+ acts like an upgraded version of the iPhone’s supplied camera app. With smooth touch-control over exposure and focus, the app ensures your original, high quality images are stored – where they can be processed with other apps – while also offering a useful selection of filters, lighting and framing options to create your own edits.
