Replicate DSLR camera effects
Master iPhone shooting and editing techniques that emulate looks produced by pro cameras
Experienced Digital SLR users can manually adjust their camera’s settings to produce a range of looks and effects. By opening up the aperture to a wider setting they can create a narrower depth of field that places a sharp subject against a blurred background (a bokeh). By manually slowing the shutter speed down to seconds (instead of a few frames) they can turn moving subjects such as flowing water into ephemeral blurs – or add streaks of light to passing cars at night. Your iPhone sets aperture and shutter speed automatically to capture sharp and blur free shots, but we’ll show you some shooting and editing techniques that let you produce more creative DSLR style looks using the default iOS Camera and Photos apps.
