Power your iPhone photography with the Golden Ratio

In our last installment, we took a look at an age old principle of composition: the ‘Rule of Thirds’. I hope everyone enjoyed experimenting with it. In this installment, we are going to explore the foundation of this rule. Before that, I want to mention something about having fun.

Although we call it the ‘Rule of Thirds’, let’s not get hung up on the word ‘rule’. Let’s think of it more as a guideline. A guideline that we can choose to ignore if your creative muse directs you. So feel free to use these principles as you see fit, but just make sure you are having fun at the same time. Because fun is really the only true ‘rule’ in photography!

Video demo shows rumored 4-inch iPhone display in action

The 4-inch display rumored to debut in Apple's next smartphone has received mixed reactions from the tech community. It has a resolution of 1136 x 640, meaning it's the same width as before, just a bit taller. And some folks don't like that.
