I’ve been wondering what’s been off about my recent use of Glass since the introduction of likes (or appreciation as they call it) and Andy nailed it. Since this move I’ve had zero comments on my photography. It’s really changed the way that I’ve experienced the app and I’m now thinking I’ll just leave theContinue reading “Glass is becoming a boring place for photography”

The iPhone is a pretty great point and shoot Astro camera
I’ve been wanting to do more around night sky images but struggle with manual settings on my DSLR (I’m not too proud to say I run it in auto most of the time, it’s no big deal). I saw a nice clear morning sky out of the window, grabbed my iPhone 13 Mini and tookContinue reading “The iPhone is a pretty great point and shoot Astro camera”
Glass adds a like button
In an announcement yesterday, Glass have added an appreciation option for photos. Initially I was against this and worried that it might be the start of a path to adding like counts and for me at least it’s one of the reasons I moved away from other social services and don’t check notifications on Twitter.Continue reading “Glass adds a like button”
How to get macro mode on your iPhone 11
I’ve had fun playing with the iPhone 13 Pro mode and whilst I did think it wasn’t something to buy a phone for it is a nice to have. The good news is that you can get most of the way there by using Halide. In my testing their new macro mode has done reallyContinue reading “How to get macro mode on your iPhone 11”
iPhone 11 vs iPhone 13 Pro: night mode
I’m going to be posting my thoughts as I test the new iPhone and thought I’d start with one image. This is just a straight up shot at night. This is the one that showed how much improved the 13 camera is. Here’s the 13 shot (above) a nice colour sky and stars clearly visible.Continue reading “iPhone 11 vs iPhone 13 Pro: night mode”
How good is the iPhone 13 Pro at macro photography?
I’ve had fun playing with the iPhone 13 Pro and I’m really impressed with the macro capabilities. There is a bit of glitch with the switching between lenses but that’ll be fixed in software. I will say that you need good lighting. Edges are sometimes a little blurry but on the whole it’s great, rememberContinue reading “How good is the iPhone 13 Pro at macro photography?”
Some more thoughts on the Glass app
I’ve had some more time with Glass and I’m still enjoying my time there. I think looking at some of the sentiment on Twitter and reviews on the App Store some are still not getting it. It’s not Instagram, that’s a very good thing. My view is that it’s a place to share and viewContinue reading “Some more thoughts on the Glass app”
Appreciating the iPhone 11 Camera
Great little post by Matt over at Birchtree showing some love for the camera we got with the iPhone 11 Pro. I was thinking just this morning that the jump from XS to 11 Pro was the biggest I’d noticed on the iPhone line up so far and why I haven’t felt the need toContinue reading “Appreciating the iPhone 11 Camera”
Marc Levoy on smartphone cameras
I don’t normally link to many podcasts but I found this fascinating. I’m a big fan of photography and it’s the only reason I upgrade each year and I especially like the Pixel camera so listening to someone with a big background in mobile photography is a great way to get a little insight. Link:Continue reading “Marc Levoy on smartphone cameras”
#shotoniphone city night mode
Went out yesterday to a musical (Book of Mormon, which is amazing by the way!) and took a few night mode shots. Detail here is pretty good, especially the lit up signs. Very misty and rainy but took this from a car park. Quite like it, not amazing amount of detail zoomed in but greatContinue reading “#shotoniphone city night mode”
