iPhoneography tip of the day # 5
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.

#4 Tilt-shift is amazing
Tilt-shift is a photography technic designed to create a miniature effect. When you shoot a certain object, sometimes you wish to add bokeh to your photo - like the professional camera lens would blur everything around the thing you are focused at. But you only have the iPhone which, by the way, has the greatest camera of all smartphones. You just need to add a lil’ bit editing to your photos. If you use our FX Photo Studio, you may choose, for instance, the tilt-shift effect. Or you can create the similar effect with the blur instrument available in many apps. Remember: you play up one thing, you get blurry its surrounding, so the important object(s) on your photo stand(s) out beautifully.

#3 Catching the horizon line straight.
A crooked horizon line may add some sense of creativity to your photo if you turn iPhone 45° right or left, but stop overusing this “effect”. Better take a close look at your latest pictures. Sometimes even a slight tilt ruins a picture. If you snap a beautiful landscape, it’s alway clever to check the horizon line twice.
#USAinColor contest goes on, and we received more than 1700 photos. Will we make it up to 2000? Definitely, with your help!

#2 Think of the composition
We know that our apps like FX Photo Studio can save any photo just by applying some cool effects. But while spending time taking pictures on iPhone, isn’t there an urge to start improving your pics? Take care of composition - the rule of the thirds transforms any ruined pic into a good one.
NB! When you learn how to shoot pictures “right”, you start noticing new ways of playing with the rules. Or avoiding them - though lomography isn’t as easy as it seems to be.
