How to take brighter photos with iPhone

In our busy day-to-day lives, always carrying a DSLR is a challenge, if not an impossibility. That’s because, DSLRs are heavy, expensive, need careful handling and have limitations with what a particular lens can do. So, if you want to be prepared to take any photo, you’ll have to carry a backpack full of lenses. But, having a good cell phone in your pocket, like the modern day iPhone, can help you avoid quite a few of these challenges, if not all, and yet provide you with good photos. A professional photographer obviously will always prefer carrying a DSLR, but that’s because it’s their work. On the other hand, someone who’s not a professional and yet a photo-enthusiast, will be pretty satisfied with their iPhone.

But, even if you have an iPhone, you should learn a few tricks to take your photography to a different level. For example, you can just adjust a single factor in your iPhone and get that soft blurry background.
