iPhone Photography: A Misty Morning at Lyme Regis in Dorset
The misty conditions last Wednesday were nothing short of perfect for some minimalist photography, so I popped out early morning and took the short drive to meet up with my friend Steve Healy down at my favourite of all places, Lyme Regis.
True to the weather apps, the conditions were as predicted; a wonderful misty morning, an incoming tide with the surface of the sea as flat as a sheet of glass, hardly a breeze in the air and looking out across the sea, at times it was almost impossible to see the distant horizon line.
Absolutely Perfect!
I should have sent a memo about dress code 🤣
Taking along minimal kit as I did when photographing the Prince of Wales Bridge a couple of weeks back, I stuck with using my iPhone 14 Pro Max, but this time made use of my new JOBY MagSafe Mount ( LINK )
This worked an absolute treat holding my iPhone rock steady and was so incredibly quick and easy to adjust and rotate from portrait orientation to landscape orientation …
Long Exposure Photography was definitely order of the day to enhance the calm, relaxing feeling of the light and the mist, and of course smooth out the water surface even more.
I’ve a few long exposure apps installed on my iPhone at the moment that I’m testing out to see which I prefer, but on this morning I opted again to use EvenLonger …
For the image above, I used a 60 second long exposure.
We then moved along to The Cobb, which looked incredible amongst the mist and surrounded by a glass flat high tide …
The tide was particularly high this morning, meaning the groin at the far end of The Cobb was much less visible.
In this image and the one above, you can really see how the mist made the horizon barely visible, which when combined with a long exposure worked, I feel, so incredibly well …
In each of these images you will have spotted that there were Gulls flying. To include these, once I had taken the long exposure, I then jumped back to the regular camera on my iPhone and waited for the moment when Gulls flew through the frame.
When they did I pressed the shutter a number of times using a Bluetooth Shutter Release which works a treat and only cost £3.99 off Amazon ( LINK )
99% of these images I edited in Lightroom Mobile and Photoshop on my iPad, but to add the Gulls I used Photoshop CC on my desktop as I needed to use a filter and (at the moment) that filter isn’t available in the mobile version of Photoshop.
That said though, the process was so incredibly easy editing on my iPad, and then because everything I do syncs automatically with every device I have Lightroom installed, I could then finish off on my desktop without having to export anything or import from memory cards.
Everything I do on any device be it my iPhone, iPad or Desktop, syncs across each other making it instantly available everywhere.
Oh and the text and graphics were added using Adobe Express …
So another incredibly relaxing morning out taking photographs with my iPhone.
Minimal kit. No swapping out lenses. No attaching filters. No cables.
All of this for me makes for such a wonderful experience, enabling me to relax and just enjoy being where I am and absorb the sights and sounds.
The experience of taking photographs just doesn’t get better!

iPhone Photography at Cardiff Bay
Damn! I’m absolutely loving taking photographs and video with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max. The quality jump from my iPhone 11 Pro Max to this latest model is like a night and day difference.
Last week I popped over to Cardiff to catch up with my friendAnthony Crothers and ended up walking around Cardiff Bay.
Such a great place with a great atmosphere and so many cool places to eat and drink.
Inbetween the rain showers I managewd to grab a few photographs with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max along with the SmallRig Universal for Mobile Phones and my new Benro Tripod … my old Manfrotto had become unuseable from Sea Water damage PLUS it was quite heavy.
You can see the kit I mention over on my GEAR PAGE ( LINK )
Anyway, using the Lightroom Mobile App and the Long Exposure function set to 5 seconds, here’s one of my favourites from time there …
I edited this on my iPhone 14 Pro Max in the Lightroom Mobile App whilst waiting for Anthony to pop back, and have created a Preset from this that I’ll be sending out to members of my email group.
Lyme Regis by iPhone
Mornings like this take some beating …
Now that we’ve relocated , our favourite place of all ( Lyme Regis ) is literally just down the road and yesterday morning I headed down early to catch up with a friend (Steve Healy) that I’d not seen for quite some time.
With no agenda other than catching up , we walked along the sea front , sat on a bench looking out to see whilst drinking coffee and eating a delicious pork bap and took the occassional photograph … Steve with his Fuji kit and me with my iPhone.
Here’s a series of photographs taken wth my iPhone 11 Pro Max ( still waiting for the new iPhone 14 Pro Max to be in stock ) and editied in Lightroom Mobile … such a great , convenient combination
Bringing along just a small amount of kit , I also had my Insta 360 One X2 camera with me to capture some video. In a couple of days I have the new X3 arriving so I can’t wait to check out the quality difference.
The great thing about 360 cameras is that nothing gets missed … as you can see here 🤣
Once I get the new iPhone 14 Pro Max I intend to do a lot of photography around this coastlineand maybe look at adding some Lightroom Mobile editing videos on my YouTube Channel because this really is so much fun and makes photography even more accessible for everyone.
Cheers
