Some purists look down on edited photos, especially as many photo editing apps for the iPhone are easy to use. But they don’t realize that image editing has been there as long as the camera has been around and that many of the techniques used in Photoshop and other image editors came from lessons learned in the dark room.
While the iPhone already does an excellent job of replicating the feel of a scene, it sometimes takes a photographer’s vision and creative touch to get the best out of a landscape photo. When you edit an image, feel free to play around with settings like brightness, contrast, saturation, ambiance, highlights, and shadows. But remember not to overdo it, as your main goal is to get the best out of the photograph.
Also, you should start with a good picture, as no amount of editing or post-processing could save a poorly-shot scene. But if you already have a great base image, experiment with little tweaks here and there until you get the final processed photo you desire.
These tips and tricks will help you get the most out of your iPhone when shooting landscape photos. While they’re great advice to get you started, don’t forget to experiment. After all, the most beautiful images sometimes come out from the unexpected.
