Exploring My iPhone Camera and VSCO

Victoria Inner Harbour

This image was not edited using VSCO. However, there is something interesting about it and I’ll explain. I found this really interesting tip on Instagram on how capture images with the skyline being more pronounced.

  • Go to your camera settings and switch the grid on.
  • Rotate your phone 180 degrees.
  • Zoom out to 0.5x (13mm)
  • Make sure the sky take up the first two rows

In this image I played around with the portrait mode on my camera. When in portrait mode the background is blurred out and the object is pronounced. Removing the background noise enables you to focus on the object (my dog, Chief) on that is in the foreground.

In this image I was aiming to sharpen the background using the post-processing tool VSCO. I was aiming to bring more life to the background. The cloud cover was not bringing out the aspect of natural light in its entirety.

In this image I was playing around with different shades of black and white on the background. This was a low light image because of the cloud cover and I wanted to explore the idea of dropping the exposure massively as well.
