  Photomator Appreciation Post 🙌🏻 Ayup! I've been using Photomator on and off for a while now. Since I returned to using my iPhone for photography, though, it's become my most-used editing app. Paired with shooting Apple ProRAW, it's producing some really rather pleasing results. If you're a) an Apple user and b) looking for a viable Lightroom alternative, this one's for you!

  Behind the scenes 🧐 Here's my ridiculously basic macro setup 🔎 Normally, the iPhone is placed upside down and rests on the paper in front of the subject, so it's at the same level. I'll need to experiment with some different compositions soon, though. #macro #macrophotography #photography #shotoniphone

  In Search of Natural-Looking iPhone Photos 📱 This one follows my last post on Apple’s outrageous HDR settings and over-baked images. Since then, I’ve been tinkering and experimenting. Three solutions, one of which I’ll be sticking with. If you're looking to remove HDR, over-processing and excessive sharpening from your iPhone photos, this one's for you 🙌🏻 https://mikehindle.uk/words/in-search-of-natural-looking-iphone-photos/ #apple #iphone #photography #tech #blog #writing #shotoni...

  Unsplash’s Quietly Brilliant Stance on AI 🚫 "In an increasingly AI-dominated stock photography world, let’s take a moment to celebrate Unsplash. Their strictly no AI policy demonstrates incredibly strong content values. They didn’t follow suit. Nor did they surrender to the bullshit. They stood by their vision and mission. There’s a lot to be said for that these days." https://mikehindle.uk/words/unsplashs-quietly-brilliant-stance-on-ai/ #blog #writing #noai #photography #illustra...

  Squarespace SEO experiments are off to a decent start 📈 In under 24 hours, my article on Squarespace Vs WordPress for Photographers is on page one of Google with a mention in the AI overview, too 🙌🏻 This is without any SEO plugin (they have one called SEO Space, which is like Yoast). Just using the basic tools that are already built in. No focus keywords, naturally written, no affiliate links or CTA's, etc. #seo #blog #writing #photography #photographer
