One of the most important things to do to take a good photo

Now, I know this one might be a bit too obvious. But it's amazing how often I forget to do it and miss out on getting the best photo I can.

Because we are constantly handling our iPhones (or other smartphones), it is so easy to end up with dust, dirt or fingerprints all over the camera lens.

Each of the photos shown in this article suffers from the effects of the lens being dirty. Sometimes, there is no opportunity to re-take them! Especially when the sun or lights are involved, the result can be a very 'washed out' photo.

Matching colours is so easy on a Mac

Have you ever tried to match a colour on your Mac?

A perfect example for a client recently was that she wanted her name in her email signature to be the same colour as that of her logo, but couldn't quite get the right orange.

There is a really easy way to do this, and it is available in any app that allows a colour to be chosen.

I must say that I use this one on a very regular basis!

Find out more in this Mac tip for members of The iTandCoffee Club.

How easily your mobile number can be stolen - as this iTandCoffee client found

You may have seen recent articles in the press about the increasing incidence of mobile number porting - where a person's mobile number is moved to a different mobile service provider by an unknown person. If this happens, you suddenly find you no longer have mobile service. You may first receive a message that tells you the porting is happening - generally when it it is too late to stop it.

How can number porting happen? What benefit can a thief get from stealing a mobile number belonging to someone else.

Why are there two copies of some photos on my iPhone?

Have you ever wondered why you get two versions of the same photo on your iPhone or iPad, even though you thought you had only taken one? Above is one that I took just now - identical, except that the second shows the letters HDR at top left.

Newer iPhones have a great Camera feature called HDR - High Dynamic Range - which can really enhance your photos in tricky lighting situations.

A handy app that warns when it is about to rain

Now that winter has hit, it gets harder to get out and take a walk - especially on a showery day.

Just recently I installed a handy app that will pop up a message to let you know in advance if rain is about to hit, when it is expected and how long it is expected to last for.
