Learn One Thing New Everyday

Imagine if you applied everything you learned about photography over the period of a year. As a challenge I will attempt to learn one new skill about photography everyday. Is this a challenge than I am able to meet. Maybe, but even if I fall short of my goal and learn 33% or 121 new tips/tricks about photography, just think how improved my skills as a photographer will be.

This idea came to me while browsing through a book about iPhone photography. I've taken several photo's with my iPhone and have used the panorama and HDR features, but didn't realize I could also zoom in on a subject.

Now this may be a Duh! moment for some, but I think most of us have done this at one time or another; realized there was something we could have been doing all along but haven't.

To zoom in, place your index finger and thumb together on the touch screen and spread them apart. To zoom out pinch together.

Also, a zoom bar will appear on the bottom
of the screen.

Another feature is to focus on a particular part of the subject, tap on the screen and a square will appear by tapping where you want to focus the square will automatically move.

By reading and studying you will find small tips and tricks to improve your skills, "I learned from that".
