Welcome to iShots.
iShots is written for ordinary hobbyists, not professional photographers: people somewhere in between a complete beginner and someone who really knows what they’re doing.
iShots is about taking better photos of the outdoors with the camera most of us actually carry: the phone in our pocket.
The site is about walking, hiking and coming home with a shot that reminds you of what you saw.
The articles cover practical things to try outdoors: composition tricks for landscapes, a cheap mount for a steadier phone, and nearby walks.
Each one is meant to be simple enough to try on your next walk.
The site is for people who want better outdoor photos without buying a big camera or learning a manual, and who maybe want a reason to get outside a bit more often.
If that sounds like you, you will feel at home here.
How we put our guides together
iShots is written for ordinary hobbyists who shoot with the phone in their pocket. The photography tips are plain, concrete techniques you can try on your next walk.
For walking and weather safety we rely on recognized bodies such as the CDC, the National Institute on Aging and the National Weather Service. Any threshold is attributed in the text, never invented.
iShots is not a medical service. For fitness or hot and cold weather questions, your doctor is the right person to ask.
Conditions change, so check your local forecast before you head out.
The site also covers outdoors, hiking and photography.
