During the summer of 2020, about midway through the pandemic lockdown that started in early February, I began taking an online, self-paced course called iPhone Photography Academy. Although I thought I was pretty well-versed in the bells and whistles of my beloved iPhone XS Max and its outstanding camera system, I was in for a great surprise. Not only did I get an in-depth understanding of how the iPhone camera works and how to operate it, I discovered (and rediscovered!) several apps to make my photos more appealing. These included Snapseed, Camera+ 2, LensLight, and Photo Splash.
You can view some of the results of my iPhone Photography Academy lessons below with many more to come. Just today, I watched the Apple Event that unveiled the new iPhone 12 Pro Max and plan to purchase one immediately!
