Wow….Outdoor photography and exterior home photography, using your iPhone



In the age of technology, smartphones have made it easier for people to capture life's moments on-the-go. One of the most popular uses for smartphones is for photography, and iPhones have become a go-to choice for many amateur photographers due to their advanced camera features. In this article, we'll explore how to use an iPhone for outdoor photography and exterior home photography, and how to make the most of its features to enhance your photography skills.


Outdoor Photography

Outdoor photography can be challenging due to the unpredictable nature of the environment, but an iPhone can help you capture stunning images with ease. The following tips will help you take your outdoor photography to the next level.


  1. Focus and Exposure

One of the most important aspects of outdoor photography is getting the focus and exposure right. The iPhone's camera app allows you to tap on the screen to set the focus and exposure point. This will help you to get the right amount of light and sharpness in your image.


To do this, simply open the Camera app, point your iPhone at your subject, and tap the part of the screen where you want to focus. You will see a yellow box appear around the area you tapped, indicating that the focus and exposure have been set.


If you want to adjust the exposure manually, simply swipe up or down on the screen to increase or decrease the exposure.


  1. HDR Mode

The iPhone's HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode can help you capture more detail in high-contrast scenes, such as sunsets or landscapes. HDR mode takes multiple images with different exposures and combines them into one image with better detail and color accuracy.


To turn on HDR mode, open the Camera app, and tap on the HDR button located at the top of the screen. The camera will automatically take multiple photos with different exposures, and combine them into one image.


  1. Gridlines

Using gridlines can help you to compose your shots better and make sure that your subject is aligned correctly. The iPhone's camera app has a feature that allows you to turn on gridlines on the screen.

To turn on gridlines, go to Settings > Camera, and turn on the Grid option. The gridlines will now appear on the camera screen, making it easier for you to align your shots correctly.


  1. Portrait Mode

Portrait mode is a popular feature on newer iPhone models, and it allows you to capture stunning portrait photos with a blurred background, also known as bokeh. This feature is especially useful for outdoor portraits.

To use Portrait mode, open the Camera app and swipe to the left until you see the Portrait option. Then, simply frame your subject and take the photo. The iPhone will automatically blur the background, giving you a professional-looking portrait photo.



Exterior Home Photography

Exterior home photography can be a great way to showcase your property or document the condition of your home for insurance purposes. The iPhone's camera features can help you to capture detailed images of your home's exterior. The following tips will help you to make the most of your iPhone's camera features for exterior home photography.


  1. Wide-angle Lens

Newer iPhone models come with a wide-angle lens, which can help you to capture more of the exterior of your home in one shot. To use the wide-angle lens, simply zoom out by pinching the screen, or select the "0.5x" option on the camera app.


  1. Panoramic Mode

Panoramic mode allows you to capture a wide-angle shot of your home's exterior in one image. To use this feature, open the Camera app and swipe to the left until you see the Pano option. Then, simply pan your phone from left to right, following the on-screen instructions, and the iPhone will automatically stitch together a panoramic image.


Enjoy your outdoor space and take time to really get to know the best camera you have. That’s the one you always have with you!


Get ready to take spectacular outdoor photos.
