Apple's Live Photos are fun, three-second videos that capture a brief period of movement and sound, rather than a standard, static picture. These moving pictures can be turned into GIFs, used as your Lock screen, still photos can be saved from them, and more. With iOS 13, Live Photos have a new, fun capability that you'll want to try out; you can now make videos out of two or more Live Photos. If you've been wondering how to make videos from your Live Photos, read on to find out! 

We've all experienced taking a selfie and realizing that the finished product was not the mirror image we expected; even though the Camera app's flipped selfies are accurate photos, it looks strange. Now, with iOS 13 and iPad OS, we can flip mirror images around inside the Photos app. It's as simple as going to the Photos app, selecting the cropping tool inside the Edit screen of an image, and tapping the flip tool icon to get the picture you wanted. Let's get started with how to use the Photos app on your iPhone and iPad to flip your images so they look how you'd hoped they would. 

If you're into iPhone photography and filming, there will come a time when you feel the need to start investing in accessories to improve your results. One of the most basic yet helpful extras you can buy is an iPhone tripod.

A tripod is also very handy when the time comes for a selfie or group shot where you'd like to include everyone. Whether you have the newest iPhone or an older version like the iPhone 6, iPhone 7, or iPhone 7 plus, there's a tripod out there that will help you take your filming and photography to the next level. Let's get started learning about three of my recommendations for your upcoming purchase.
