4 Photography Life  Hacks

Pictures are worth a thousands words. With pictures we use filters to enhance the beauty of the photo. Filters are makeup to photos.

1.What apps to use?

VSCO CAM. This app makes photos more vibrant. The top filter I use is C1 which is a vibrant filter.
C1: +7

Exposure: either -2 or +1

Saturation: either +3 or +4 this makes the photo more vibrant.

Clarity: + 7 this makes the photo clearer.

Highlights: +7 this balances out the colors and lighting of the photo.

Sometimes I will use tint and highlight tint. It depends on the photo.

2. What to take pictures of?

I usually take pictures of nature: sunsets, leaves, ocean, sunrises, flowers, food and sculptures. objects: flags, Starbucks drink, and shells. Most of my pictures come from school or around my town. Explore your surroundings.

The best ones are sun/ clouds reflecting through water, sculptures in different seasons.

3. How to take your photos?

I use the square and grid feature on the iPhone.

With the square feature, it helps tighten your picture.

Grid feature on the iPhone helps with the rule of thirds. Rule of thirds deals with how you align the subject of the photo. You either want the subject in the center or to the side.

4. What to use to take photos?

I mainly use my iPhone 6 which the camera quality is top notch. You don’t need a canon camera.

I use lenses for the iPhone. One of the lenses is for closeups for nature photos. Fisheye lenses perfect for panorama of sunsets and ocean horizon.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
