iPhoneography tip of the day
#6 Stay still!
If you want the image of a really good quality, then keep the iPhone tight. Well, unless you want to show us the world moving around you. If not, maybe it’s better to stop your car or slow your pace and concentrate on snapping a great photo? A fancy street photo is usually a non-blur photo unless it’s really needed to emphasize the idea. If you check out Instagram feeds, you’ll see that sometimes many originally intended to be awesome shots get constantly ruined. Moreover, anytime you can add blurry effects if you suddenly consider them needed - with the help of the large amount of blurry effects in FX Photo Studio app.

How to get direct links for Instagram photos
This picture was taken by instagramer @catarinalopez. But could she get a link for it without sharing picture on her social media account? Yes, she could. Unfortunately, not all instagramers have noticed that it is possible. And if you never thought of that, here is a small hint:
You open your profile (the last button below), load a pic you want to get a link for, then hit the “More” button (the one with 3 dots), and there is a menu where you can choose “Copy share URL”. Easy!
Hope this will help you to get links when you want to share your stunning photos with someone special but not every person who follows your Tumblr, Twitter or Facebook. And surely this will help you to send links to your entries on geeks@macphun.com when you participate in our Embrace Your Inner Geekiness giveaway.

TOP 5 iPhoneography trends
What iPhoneographers tend to shoot the most? Exploring the #iphoneography tag, it’s easy to come up with statistics.
1. Road photos taken from the front seat are extremely popular. Though it seems to be dangerous and uncomfortable to shoot while driving, these pics usually look great! What’s your secret, guys?
2. Food you currently eat- Wait, do you smile a little? You definitely take these kind of pictures on your iPhone, we are sure of this.
3. Only beautiful sky with the sun going down can be better than a smooth country road. iPhoneographers are hopelessly romantic.
4. Architecture contributes more in our lives than we think. Besides being one of the major touristic attractions, it’s also a shelter and a background of our lives. iPhone users tend to shoot buildings and particularly skyscrapers quite often. Skyscrapers bring us closer to the sky - to the freedom. Color Splash Studio for iPhone also adds gorgeous look to the architecture snaps ;)
5. Summer is coming. Seaside pictures get super-trendy while the water gets hotter. Spending a day at the beach taking photos - that’s a dream.
Pictures of cute pets and children definitely follow up these Top 5 iPhoneography trends. Just as everything adorable and gorgeous people usually admire.
What’s your personal Top 5? Any coincidences?
