Nominated for Trover’s Best of 2014 List!

Posted by Brian Beard | Stories |

My 8 Favorite Photo Apps

Posted by Brian Beard | Tips and How-To's |

When I began to get serious about taking good pictures with my phone, I realized the days of simply opening up the camera app, clicking away, and posting whatever picture resulted were behind me. Over the past 6-8 months, I've tried a wide variety of photo taking, photo editing, and photo modifying apps for iPhone.

How and When to Use Blur Effects

Posted by Brian Beard | Tips and How-To's |

I often browse Instagram for inspiration, because you can find some really cool photos and then try to create something similar on your own. It can be a great source of ideas, and a way to improve my own skills. Recently, I've seen a number of awesome images that use blur effects with great success. I haven't really used it a lot in the past, so of course I decided to try it out with my next photo....

Step by Step Image: Payne’s Prairie

Posted by Brian Beard | Tips and How-To's |

There are really two parts to making a great photo: taking the shot, and editing the shot. I've been on a journey to improve my skills in both, and occasionally I'll be taking you through the exact steps I used to take a photo from the composition to the original shot to the final edited version. I'm hoping this level of candidness (rather than simply telling you what apps I used) will actually help you improve...

Here are some of my favorite photos from that time.
