Photographing a Storm with my iPhone

One of the results I captured yesterday with my iPhone during the storm down at Lyme Regis.

I love how photographs instantly transport you back to the where, when, what and who.

Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max

This one will always remind me of the two of us laughing like excited children as the waves from the incoming tide pounded against The Cobb wall and then towered above us and crashed down. Yes we got soaked (one of us more than the other) but it was so much fun.

Dedication … right there! Strong winds, big waves on the incoming tide and this one was giggling like a good ‘un as a BIGGIE came crashing over The Cobb and swallowed her up … and all to help me take some photographs 😍

*Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max using the ReeXpose App by REEFLEX set to a 0.5 second exposure.

Edited in Lightroom Mobile and Photoshop Beta.

*If you’re interested, I have the kit I use (which in this case addition to my iPhone was a tripod and the BEST Mobile Phone Grip I’ve ever used) over on my GEAR / KIT PAGE

My NEW Favourite Phone Holder for my Tripod

Found my new favourite phone holder for mounting on my tripod … the ULANZI ST-27

Not exactly cheap but well worth it. VERY well made ( metal construction ). Slots straight into the ARCA mount on my tripod. Locks phone in place and separate turn knob to lock in vertical or horizontal.

Lately we’ve had few spells of high winds on the coast and I found that although the SmallRig I have been using is pretty stable on the tripod, the support for the phone itself I’ve never trusted 100%

This new holder though is rock steady on the tripod and the hold it has on the phone is VERY secure with a turn of the red metal dial The inner black metal dial you turn to lock the orientation of the phone ( vertical / horizontal )

. The fact that it is so small too is definitely a bonus!

My camera is ALWAYS with me ... thankfully

Now when I say camera, I mean the camera that, because of apps, I can do other things on like email, check the weather, browse websites and all that kind of stuff … you know the one I mean right?

Anyway, thankfully it’s always with me, and thankfully I always keep a tripod in the car, which meant when I popped down to Lyme Regis for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon I didn’t miss the opportunity to take some photographs of a superb incoming tide of crashing waves …

For this image I took. a series of 0.5 second and 1 second exposures using both the Lightroom Camera and ReeXpose, and then blended parts together in Lightroom and Photoshop to end up with a scene that for me best represents what it was like being there, as wave after wave crashed into the rocks.

I PRINTED a 72" iPhone Photo and you WON'T BELIEVE THE RESULT !!!

Yes you read thar right … a 72” print of an iPhone photograph!

In this video I not only show ther print but also give you a look at the kit I used along with my favourite iPhone App for creating Long Exposure Photographs.

I also show what I used to upscale the original image more than 4 times, taking up to the final 72 inches!

The future of mobile photography is VERY exciting 📱😃

My Mobile Phone / Smartphone Photography Kit

With me doing more and more photography with my Smartphone (iPhone) these days, I often get asked what kit I use with it ... Phone Mount? Tripod? Trigger?

So I thought I’d share it here as well as adding it all into the GEAR Page where you’ll see ALL the kit I use for Photography and Video …

*To use the phone holders on my tripod, I purchased a few extra Arca Plates that screw into them

There’s also various apps I’m using so I’ll make sure to share details of those and any future kit I try out … especially as I intend to be doing some portrits using off-camera lighting triggered by my phone 😃
