Photography with a phone doesn’t mean that you have to do without software or accessories. As with any other type of photography, there are certain tools that become invaluable for me to produce the best work possible.
The Skiva provides me double the battery life and it’s housed in a sturdy rugged case that doesn’t bulk up my phone too much. When my battery is low, I simply press down on the button near the base of the Skiva and my phone is soon recharged to 100%, proving me a full day of shooting.
There are no shortage of camera apps, but my default is Camera Plus. It allows me to quickly lock exposure and focus at two separate points, by simply spread two fingers across the screen. This makes it ideal for off-center compositions. It features a digital image stabilizer and a burst mode for action or low light situations. It also features the best Clarity filter which I apply to almost every image whether it’s taken with this app or not.
Looking for a longer battery life because you use your iphone as a primary source of photography, can be one thing to slip your mind. I am definitely going to have to check out 'the Skiva' for such photoshoot days. And a helpful, favorite happens to be Sqaureready, since Instagram goes ahead and crops the photo...yet you took the photo with the intention of using the entire frame. Now you can.
