My First iPhone Amazement
The first time that I ever took a second look at an iPhone image was when Cliff Oliver showed me the pano that he created at the opening of my exhibit at the San Diego Natural History Museum in early 2016. I was astounded that you could take a hand held panoramic images while panning. No stitching. Now work. Point and shoot panos! Though I was beyond impressed it took me a while before I began trying to make images with my iPhone 8+. The best thing about an iPhone is that you pretty much have it with you all the time. (Do remember not to keep it in your pocket if you are wading in deep water …) If you see a lovely scenic while walking with a long lens on a tripod there is no longer a need to carry, take out, and mount a short zoom lens; just grab your iPhone. The same principle is in play for me when I see something that could work well as an educational image. I just grab the iPhone, frame, and shoot. I have published several of those here in the past few months. Most recently I used my phone to create images of younger daughter Alissa and her family at Bayard Cutting Arboretum on Long Island. She was thrilled with the one that she chose for her holiday card.
Anyhoo, when I broached the idea of his doing a how-to e-Guide, he was good to go. It took us a while to get the book edited on FaceTime but I am proud to say that it is done. In the process of working through the guide I asked lots of questions and learned an absolute ton!

Hard to Believe
Yes, Cliff has a great eye and wonderfully creative vision. Yet it is still hard for me to believe that he can make so many great images with “just“ an i-phone. Almost more amazingly Cliff captures with his iPhone and does all of his post-processing on the phone! In this great new e-Guide written for BIRDS AS ART you will learn to use set up you iPhone quickly and efficiently and how to to use it. In addition, there are dozens and dozens of tips on Cliff’s favorite apps and his favorite gear. Scroll down to the bottom to see the Table of Contents.
The iPhone Photography e-Guide: $20.00.
