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

11/7/2017

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.

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

24/6/2017
Picture
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.
Picture
Just give the camera lens a quick, gentle clean with a lens/screen cleaning cloth to remove any dirt, dust or fingerprints.  You'll be amazed at the difference it will make to your photos.

Can I change the date of a photo so it appears in the correct Year in Apple's Photos app?

18/4/2017
Having recently scanned some old photos so that you have a digital copy, I found myself frustrated by the fact that they appear in your Photos app's timeline on the date they were scanned - not on the date that they were originally taken.

Luckily, there is an easy way of resolving this.

The Photos app on the Mac has a feature that allows you to easily change the date and time (or the location) of a photo, so that the Years, Collections, Moments timeline view of your scanned photos will be more meaningful.  It is also possible to adjust this photo information on an iPhone and iPad.

The below image shows my own Photos library, reflecting some old photos that were taken in the late 50's and early 60's - after I have changed the dates of the photos that previously showed a 'date taken' of 2017.
Changing date of scanned photos
If you would like to find out how this can be achieved, why not attend the 'Photos App on the Mac' classes at iTandCoffee in Glen Iris (Melbourne)

This class topic is run every 1-2 months, with the next classes scheduled for Monday May 1 and 8 2016, at 1-3pm.  

A couple of places are still available for that class series, and for the next classes in July.

iTandCoffee Club members can find out about features like this any time - no need to come to a class.  Here are the links to the members-only handy hints that cover this topic:
  • Use the Photos app on the Mac to change the date/time of your photos
  • Changing a photo's date or location on the iPhone or iPad
