I would like to preface this by saying, in big bold letters, I AM NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER. Not by a long shot. I don't even own a DSLR (maybe someday!) The most basic of photography jargon is usually way above my head and requires a lot of Googlin'. I respect the hell out of professional photographers and am not in any way suggesting that taking your own photos is superior to hiring a professional: but … [Read more...] about A Dummy’s Guide to Taking Decent Holiday Photos With a Smartphone and Snapseed (Free App!)
