Thanks for having me back to the show Steve. Loved our chat!
Thank you, Jefferson!
Snap seed is great!
This was a great show with a great guest. Very informative and interesting, as your shows always are. I will have to pursue more photography with my iPhone, esp when on vacation.
Thanks for watching, Randy!
I learned the “Long Exposure” trick from Jeff too!
I'm actually writing this comment before I watch the video. I wanted to say ahead of time that I appreciate this because now that I am retired, my budget no longer permits the purchase of the type of camera I'd like (think Sony mirror less). So my main camera is actually my iPhone Pro Max, which I can replace every year or two for far less than the purchase of an updated camera. And as I said before, I appreciate videos like this that allow me to take full advantage of the camera in my pocket.
Thanks for watching, once you do, and I totally agree. I own a few “real” cameras, but when I go on vacation I don’t take them anymore. I started using just my phone on vacations back with my iPhone 6, and now, like you, I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max. There are times I could benefit from something else, but not enough to make me carry it.
@@BehindTheShot - And FWIW, over the years I've had everything from Ricoh, a Pentax, and more recently a Canon and a Lumix. So I know my way around a SLR (D and otherwise) and took some pretty neat photos. Not a professional by any means and always stayed in the hobbyist category. Now that I'm older, I just enjoy taking pictures for the heck of it.
I totally get that. Thanks again for sharing.
Excellent video! iPhone 13 Pro is a godsend for travel! I also use the apps you mentioned.
Thanks for watching, Victor! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow ! first time I watched and I learned a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Jimmy!
Great shots with the iPhone. If I'm traveling I also take my Sony RX100 as it's small enough to sit right on your belt in a case, so hands free, but adds a quality 200mm zoom that the cell phones lack.
Thanks for watching, Jorg.
Terrific!
Great episode! I've gotta say that most of my award winning photos this year have been with my iPhone. Definitely keeps me in the moment
Thanks for watching, Jeff! Yeah, I think that might be happening more often these days.
So inspirational Steve and Graham, great all round!
Thanks for watching!
Great show! Just bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max mainly for the camera so this show was timely. Excited to follow these photographers and learn more.
Look forward to watching your shows Steve keep them coming.
Thanks so much for watching, Lisa!
A-MA-ZING! A bunch of preciosuses information! Great, great, great. Thank you!
Phone camera photography is a perfect example of showing that it's all about effort: composition, lighting, and timing. Lots of people out there discredit photographers with "Oh, they have a thousand dollar camera, of course their photos look like that." but this proves that a camera is just a tool.
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
Definitely about the skills!
What a wonderful and interesting conversation about iPhone photography! Thank you gentlemen!

Thanks, Pam!
Excellent video, you covered a lot of great ground!
Thanks for taking the time to watch, Bill!
Insta360 has some good gear!
Awesome Stuff Guys. I love my iPhone photography on the 13promax. 👌
Thanks for watching, Matt!
I feel like a broken record... Another great episode, Steve! Jefferson is a great guest and I always enjoy the iPhone Photo Show and Photowalks TV as well.
I just had a couple people interested in joining our local photo club this morning and they were worried because they 'only' had smartphone cameras, so this episode was great timing (and yes, they will be joining the club now).
That’s awesome that the club is an option for people shooting with phones. It should be, but I fear many clubs would reject the idea.
Thanks for the kind words, and yes, Jefferson is so fun to talk with.
Hit that LIKE people!
Thanks David!
just on the Eiffel Tower shot from the Arc De Triomphe ( great shot BTW ) it reminded me of my trip to Manhattan NYC where we were contemplating going up the Empire State Building or the Rockefeller Centre and I decided on RC because where else could you get the best shot possible of the Empire State Building ?
Thanks for watching, Luke!
I have a Samsung S22 and Zoom lens is earning every penny & my Flickr page viewers have seen those great photographs
Thanks for watching, Adam. Almost any phone today, given the right conditions, can do amazing work.
another great episode.
You both mentioned watermarks. Do you think that anything posted on SM should be watermarked? I'm not a professional (yet) but I know I'd be pretty P'd if I saw one of my images somewhere. I've heard yes I've heard no, I see some professionals I follow do some don't.
Thanks for watching, Andrew.
The reason you different answers is there are various goals. Many people I know hard watermarks, and refuse to use them. Others like the added branding.
Everyone knows a watermark can be removed, so it won’t stop a serious thief, just like an alarm doesn’t stop all theft.
From a legal point of view it does give benefits, if a thief removes it that can help in court and possibly increase and remedy you get.
There are so many points in play that each person needs to decide for themselves. For me, I watermark.
I did a series on copyright. It’s under a playlist here on YT.
@@BehindTheShot i will watch it
As far as I am concerned, the only time I will use my iPhone as a camera is during emrtgencies such as recording the effects of an auto accident. If I were to go "anywhere" in which I "plan" to take pictures - like a vacation. I will be dammned if I would use my iPhone.
Why don't I like my phone as a camera?
1. There is no decent way to use fill-flash with a phone. Fill-flash is very critical when shooting outdoors because often the sun is bright and contrasty - especially here in Southern California.
2. Lens selection - I have a greater selection of lens types to use with my morrprless cameras.
3. Seeing my subject in bright sunlight on my LCD. I use my camera's eye level viewfinder out doors.
4. I like having removable memory cards for my cameras.
5. No decent way to use off-camera flash with a iPhone. Off-camera flash can make the difference between a "professional" portrait and a snap shot.
6. My Sony cameras have very effective eye-auto focus both for animals and for humans.
There are many other reasons that I use my cameras instead of my iPhone for serious phoography but, the above are just a few.
You are ,of course, welcome to use whatever you prefer.
I don’t even want to bring my phone on vacation so I certainly don’t want to use it for fun photography ever.
The iPhone 14 only has 2 cameras - a 26mm main lens and a 13mm wide lens. It doesn't have a 77mm lens or anything near it!
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have 3 cameras:
Main: 24 mm, ƒ/1.78 aperture
Ultra Wide: 13 mm, ƒ/2.2 aperture
Telephoto: 77 mm, ƒ/2.8 aperture
Plus the 2x Telephoto (enabled by quad-pixel sensor): 48 mm, ƒ/1.78 aperture
If we said it as “iPhone 14” we meant to say Pro or Pro Max. It happens.
@@BehindTheShot yes, it does but he's not talking about a 14 Pro - he constantly mentions the iPhone 14.
Because generically they are all called iPhone 14, and qualifying every single reference is not practical, but you know that and know what he means.
@@BehindTheShot the problem is while I know the difference not everyone would know the difference. Jefferson clearly knows his stuff about shooting on iPhones - his photos are amazing!
There are people watching this video who may not be so knowledgeable and they hear him saying he shoots at 77mm on an iPhone 14 so they go out and but an iPhone 14 for this feature only to find that the iPhone 14 doesn't have a 77mm camera!
When sharing advice people shouldn't talk generically!
Dude, no one will always include “Pro” or “Pro Max” with every reference. That’s not how natural conversation works. If it was a scripted instruction maybe. It’s not. I don’t always say I love my Lexus (model here). I say I love my Lexus. That’s how people talk. Sorry it bothered you man, I’m not worried about it.
As I watched this I keep wishing you would get to the point (!). Then, finally at 25+ minutes you got down to some substance
It’s not a show for just getting to “the point”. It’s a podcast first, not just a standard TH-cam video. We have a conversation. Sorry it wasn’t a good fit for you.
When dealing anywhere in the electromagnetic spectrum (radio, Tv , Light, x-rays) there is no substitute for real estate. The little pin-hole cell phone 'lens' just cannot gather the light no how much it is supported by high tech electronic foo-foo. It is fun, convenient, and inexpensive but data is data and the cute little cell phone just cannot gather much.
No one is saying a phone can fully replace a “real” camera. I’d never use one for shooting what I shoot - concerts. But the “fun, convenient, and inexpensive” part is enough for many at times. Not every shoot, or every shot, is a commercial or portfolio piece.
Sujet très intéressant mais un peu plus d'humilité de la part du présentateur serait bien, il parle plus que l'invité à qui il est senssé donner la parole, dommage ! ...
Thanks for the feedback. I don’t approach my show as just giving someone the floor. It never has been just me asking a question and the guest answering, then repeating that. It’s a conversation. Thanks for trying though. Sorry it didn’t work for you.
@@BehindTheShot oh yes ! Thank you for your reply and sorry for my comment, I didn't quite understand the meaning of this exchange ! And congratulations for your channel ✨✨✨
Never an apology needed. My show or style or whatever aren’t for everyone. That’s ok. Lots of options on YT. Enjoy your week.
