Yeah…sometimes it’s just an iPhone, a tripod, and a tiny little remote shutter doing the heavy lifting while the person awkwardly poses in public pretending they’re not being judged.

Use Night Mode – because sometimes life happens in the dark… and somehow our iPhones are out here performing witchcraft.

Have you ever taking a photo of your dog (or your coffee… or your kid… or all three together) and wish you could magically blur out the background? Welcome to Portrait Mode, aka the cheat code for making your iPhone photos look suspiciously professional.

So there I was, standing on the sandy shores of Lake Erie near Cedar Point (Six Flags), trying to capture the picturesque serenity of the beach with live iPhone photos….when a smug seagull strutted into my shot like it owned the place.
