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

Picture
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.

No need to choose between video-ing and taking a photo - you can do both!

Picture
Don't you hate that you normally have to choose between photographing and videoing something - eg the family singing happy birthday or a baby taking first steps?  

​Well, did you know that you can take photos while you are videoing on your iPhone or iPad?

Here is a handy hint recorded a while back, showing you how easy this is to do.  
How to take a photo at the same time as videoing

Using your Photos app as a photo journal of your travels

When I travel, my iPhone 6 Plus is my camera - I don't even bother to take a separate digital camera.  The camera on my iPhone 6 Plus takes amazing photos.

The Photos App on my iPhone (and iPad) provides some great options for viewing my photos.  I can organise them into albums, or use the Photo Library view that allows me to see the photos grouped into Years, Collections and Moments.
Picture
But the feature that I think is my favourite in the Photos app (especially when looking at the photos of a trip) is that which allows me to view on a map the photos that I have taken  - even allowing me to zoom in and out to see more or less details of the map and the various locations at which I have taken photos.

This provides a wonderful travel log of holiday snaps.

By viewing the photos taken for a particular 'Moment', you can see all the places that you visited on the particular day that the 'Moment' represents.

For example, here is my Photos app screen of a 'Moment' in Rome and the locations that were visited on that day.   
If I want to see more detail of where photos were taken, I can 'zoom in' and see the the map in more detail and the photos that go with each of those locations.  
Picture
Picture
To view the photos taken at a particular location (regardless of how far you have zoomed in or out on the map), just tap on the photo thumbnail to view larger thumbnails of the set of photos for that location.  

Then, tap on any of the photos you see to then view the photos in full screen view, swiping through them the see the in all their glory.
Picture
Picture
As you view each photo, you will also see the location of the photo shown at the top of the screen - just in case you forgot where you were at that particular point in time!

But where do you find this feature in the Photos App?

So, how do you get to view your photos in this way?  And how do you ensure that you can always see the location at which your photos were taken?

These topics are covered in the handy hint How to see your iPad and iPhone photos presented on a map, which is available to iTandCoffee members to view at any time.

Non-members will have to wait until a future newsletter to find out more about this great feature.

Or, why not Join The Club Today so that you see this hint, and other handy hints about great features like this, that are regularly published by iTandCoffee.

SLR camera effects on your iPhone

Tadaa SLR

Tadaa SLR
Tadaa SLR is such a great, simple photo editing App, that makes it really really easy to get professional looking photos - just like those you can get with a DSLR camera.  The best thing is that it allows you to adjust any photo after you have taken it.    

This was another one that I was lucky enough to get for free a little while ago, when it was listed as 'free for a day' in my Apps Gone Free app.  Normally, it is $6.49 in the App Store.

Just take a look at the two photos below - one is the original that I took on Sunday, and the other is the version that I have created using Tadaa SLR, where I have decided to only have the Macbook in focus.  And it only took a minute to produce this edited version!  There are different options for how far to extend the 'blurring effect'.  Great!

Some unique ways of using your iPhone's (or iPad's) camera!

I don't normally watch videos like this one that I saw posted by a friend on Facebook today.  But, it mentioned smartphone technology, so curiosity got the better of me!

I absolutely LOVE the ideas that it includes - very novel and definitely worth sharing with my sons (in the hope that they haven't thought of these nifty tricks already)!

The makers of this video provide the following ideas for iPhone camera uses and home-made accessories that I can guarantee you won't have thought of:
  • Use your panaramic feature to 'clone a friend'
  • Take a 'pano drive-by' for a great effect
  • Use binoculars or telescope for great zoom effect
  • A drop of water on the lens gives you macro lens
  • Use foil car windscreen sunshade as a reflector for better lighting for your photos
  • Make a tripod from cardboard to take advantage of the new 'timer' feature of iOS 8
  • Or use your headphones as your camera shutter
  • Take underwater photos using a glass!

Watch the video and be inspired!
