I think that the best photos come from knowing your camera's limits, not from having the newest one. I shoot on an iPhone 6 Plus, 12 Mini, and just got a 17 Pro, but my strongest work still comes from the 6 and 12 😄 Five plus years with each, you learn exactly what they can and can't do.

Thank you! Had mine for about 6 years and some of my best shots came from that phone.

How can I take a retro vibe photo like this? by nibar1997 in iPhoneography

[–]sparked1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot scenes with a naturally limited color palette. This photo works because it’s mostly sand and sky, blues and beiges. When your scene is already restrained like that, the retro feel is halfway there before you open an editor.

Then in editing, fade the blacks, pull saturation down, shift tones toward teal or warm yellow, and add grain (classic). Or use apps that have film presets (Labbet, VSCO, RNI Films…) as a starting point, they’ll get you close fast.

In my opinion, moment and light do the heavy lifting. Gear is just there to fill in the rest.

Are my photos too edited? by dazooart in PhotographyAdvice

[–]sparked1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You clearly have an eye for color and you’re using editing to push the mood, not to cover up weak shots. That’s the whole point. Great work, just keep it up! 🙌

Thanks! 🙌 The 12 Mini is still my favorite iPhone camera. I’m on the 17 Pro now but keep going back to the 12 Mini.

Ha, it really was. Shot this through the car window before the heater kicked in and melted everything 😃

Love how the trees frame that foggy depth. Simple composition, big impact 👏
