Bracketed Pano on a tripod of mountain's east facing side. The new version of Light will combine all your individual bracketed pano shots in one cool step. Awesome Sauce. Blue too dark along the top. Corrected in later edits.

It was getting dark fast and raining. I squeezed off a bracket on a tripod, iso 100, F16 , 15 seconds, the ocean laid down nicely.

At least, on an iPhone running iOS 12.1.4, you can share photos in several different ways. Yes, you can use Apple Photos, or you can use Image Capture.app (in the Applications folder on all Macs), and download the original. OR, you can *email* it at one of four sizes (not JPEG MB, but the all-important actual pixel dimensions).

From an iPhone 7 Plus, these email attachments are labeled Small (240x320 pixels), Medium (480x640 pixels), Large (1512x2016 pixels), and Actual Size (3024x4032 pixels). These are capable of making prints *at 240 PPI minimum print resolution* at the following sizes: Small = 1x1.33 inches; Medium = 2x2.67 inches; Large = 6.3x8.4 inches; Actual Size = 12.6x16.8 inches. In my experience, only the Actual Size image is worth using.

Quality of texted photos from iPhone depends on the setting in the Settings control panel, Messages. For full size images, set the Low Quality Image Mode to OFF.

iPhone image quality can be quite good when the light is good. Low light imagery suffers from heavy noise reduction smearing, but for most snapshot purposes, it's acceptable.

I've attached a typical night scene (my twins at a mini-golf place in Florida over Christmas break). I cropped and downsized it in Photoshop, adding +7 Clarity in ACR and converting to sRGB from iPhone's native profile (Display P3). All other parameters are as they were, straight out of the iPhone 7 Plus. It makes a very decent 8x10.

That was very helpful information! Thanks so much.

Tell them to simply email it from the original phone to you. As long as the file is smaller than 10MB you should get the full sized image. Then you can print it.

If it's larger than that, they may have to upload it to DropBox and let you access it that way.


Yeah, I think this is the right answer; email. Thanks Hoggers!

Email the image as an attachment. They will be given a choice of sizes. Tell them to pick the largest size.


Yeah, one of the selections is "original size", I always figured that was the best one to choose. I do like the email method as long as the sender's ISP does not impose drastic limits on email attachments like the Comcast 1MB

If they're using an iPhone and have an iCloud account they can have the pics automatically saved to the cloud. Then you can access it directly from the cloud to print. If you're using someplace like Walgreen's to print you can order the print from your computer and pick it up at your local store in about 30 minutes


Yeah, but I wonder what condition the file is in when it lands in the cloud, full size or compressed?

Exactly. Many cell phone images have more than enough in them for good printing. But, you have to have the original file.


Yep, what I am saying.

Don't text the image, instead email the file. Easy-peasy


That is easy and will work. Comcast limits attachments to 1MB, other ISP's have limits also. Gmail allows up to 25MB so that would work. Yeah, email would do it as long as the phone doesn't compress it to send first.

I can't help that while on the road I see an image and my old camera dies. I then turn to a smart phone for this image. Later it turns out grainy etc. yet while viewing on a computer monitor the image is somewhat respectable. However, several times my wife has wanted images from the smart phone printed and I keep telling her these are not clear enough for printing.. Now that I have a new camera, I'm hoping to take better images for her and her friends. But till then, The best way to print any or most images from a cell phone is have these printed on canvas as the raised grain of the canvas tends to hide the grainy image. I've experienced this several times as I said with my wife wanting images from my smart phone. In fact we're just weeks away from another doomed image she wants. so I'm hoping aaronbrother's are able to make correction or at least attempt to do so on their own.

The image should be stored within the smart phone. connect the smart phone to the computer via micro/mini USB cable locate the smart device within your files and then scan for the image file location within the smart phone.. Click, drag the image over to you computer or say "send to" etc.

Yep, pretty much what I'm telling them to do.

My daughter and her boyfriend and and my son and a bunch of others are all millennials and they post everything on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and so on. That generation is complete satisfied with using cell phones. They could not be less interested in dicussing image quality. They usually share photos by texting them to each other. This is all well and good from small screen to small screen. Occasionally they will actually take an image that is quite special and that they want printed. By the time they text it to me to print it for them it is reduced to a couple hundred kb which is simply not going to be suitable for an 8x10 or larger. Then I have to explain to them how to attach a cable from the phone to a laptop or pc and send me the original image from the phone's storage which will usually yield a file of 3 to 4 MB which is pretty workable.

Am I missing something? When an image is texted, it is highly compressed so it doesn't take forever to send. Is there a better way to get to the original file so it will be suitable for printing? When a millennial is explained what the process is to get an original file, they are like, all "Ughh!" "What?" "Literally?"

Has anyone seen the new iPhone commercial touting their new "bokeh" feature? One mother scolds another for "bokehing" her child in the background. Problem is, Apple doesn't know what the word means, or that it's not a verb. They seem to think it means throwing the background out of focus, which some uninformed photographers also believe. Bokeh is actually the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus background blur, usually as a characteristic of a specific lens, not the blurring itself. Now the general public will have the same misunderstanding.

I laughed out loud when I first saw that. I thought the concept was hilarious. Don't get all nerdy about it. It was funny. I agree that most people wouldn't get it. I was impressed that apple would expect people to know it, and if they didn't, they sure will know soon. Bokeh goes mainstream! Extreme background blur is very pleasing for the subject but anyone in the background surely does get "shaded" as they say nowadays. It's considered a slight to "shade" someone, as in taking away some of the light and attention shining on them.

Welcome to the forum. It is a provocative image, intriguing to look at. I suggest:
No sunglasses, A simple uncluttered background sharp focus. The image is either old, or filtered to look that way as shot on film perhaps. The grain and softness is distracting and hard to overlook. How much you show of you is your business. Female photographers with the guts to publish self shot, self modeled work have not always been treated with respect here. I hope you have a positive experience.

I always take 3 lenses as a minimum.
10-18mm, 24-105mm and 100-400mm.
Never fail to use all 3 no matter where I go.

A 200-500 is NOT a mostly wide angle lens so no, don't bring it for that. Depends on what is really important to you. The wildlife there is excellent and the 200-500 is the lens to use for that. The 70-200 will be ideal for those isolating telephoto landscapes so bring that. Bring the 28 so you can go wide if you want also.
Don't lug the 200-500 around everywhere. Pick one day to do wildlife and go around with that.
The 70-200 will do the majority of other shots and your 28 will be good for some landscapes.
Yosemite is big. A lot of landmarks are quite far away and looking tiny in a lens too wide. That's where the 70-200 will really excel.

I'm doing a workshop in Yosemite NP next week, and the camera bag is getting heavy. Will I need the 200-500 for what I suspect is mostly wide angle landscape photography? Never been there, so I don't know what to expect. I'll have the 70-200 and/or 28-300....

I think you meant loupe and that is what is great about methanol. It is highly volatile so you can use it liberally as any excess dries up almost immediately without a trace.

This will mirror what I have used from Copperhill who no longer is in business. Custom sized swabs, Eclipse cleaning solution and the power loop is very helpful so you can clearly see your progress. Don't under estimate how many you will use the first time you are doing this. I would only use 2-3 drops per swab to get it wet all the way across. https://photosol.com/swab-sizes/
