26. You should be able to take the iPhone out of your pocket, turn it on, and open camera from the lock screen in two seconds or less. You don't want to miss that perfect shot.
27. There are some great iPhoneography accessories on the market, but you don't really need them to take great photos. Buying cool gear won't make you a better photographer.
Editing And Apps
28. No editing can turn a bad photo into a good one.
29. The easiest way to ruin a good photo is to mindlessly apply strong vintage filters.
30. If you are going to use filters, make sure you adjust their strength. The default filter strength will almost always be too strong and result in terribly overedited photos.
31. Your editing should enhance what is already great about the photo, and perhaps add a certain feel that complements the message of that photo. Everything else is unnecessary.
32. Learn the essential adjustments such as brightness, contrast and saturation first. Only then you should look into more advanced effects and filters.
33. Don't download 50 photo apps. Only get a few and make sure you know how to use them.
34. Snapseed and VSCO Cam are great (and free) apps to start with.
35. Don't add text on your photos. Text is distracting and never looks good.
Photo Management
36. Always have a backup of your entire photo library. And another one.
37. Despite technological advancements, external HDD is still the most practical way to back up a large photo library. Just don't keep it in the same bag as your laptop.
38. iCloud is great for automatically transferring your iPhone photos to iPhoto.
39. Keep your edited photos in a separate photo album for easy access.
40. Don't take multiple identical photos. Avoid the pain of deleting them later. Instead you should change the angle or composition and then shoot again.
Sharing And Social Networks
41. Share your work on social networks to stay motivated and get feedback.
42. Follow other photographers whose work you admire to stay inspired and get new ideas.
43. It's OK to copy someone else's style for the sake of learning. You'll eventually discover your own unique style, so you don't have to worry about copying someone else initially.
44. Don't try to be active on 10 different photo sharing sites. It will drive you crazy. Just pick your favorite and do a good job there. Initially I only posted my photos @iPhonePS on Instagram.
45. Don't use Instagram filters if you want to stand out on Instagram.
46. Always respond to people who took the time to comment on your photos. Simply saying "thanks" can make a huge difference.
47. Don't tag your photos using every single hashtag you know. You don't want to look like a spammer, do you?
48. Don't watermark your photos. Watermarks are ugly, and nobody is going to steal your photos anyway.
49. Only share your best photos so that your feed looks great. Quality always beats quantity.
50. Digital photos are transient. Print your best work to make it timeless.
