Hello,

Mobile apps like Pinterst and Instagram make it easy to capture and share
your world, but you're still stuck taking pictures with your smartphone.
Check out the latest from Rocky Nook, including "Sixty Tips for Creative
iPhone Photography<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zqosjujqihbqgbf7a3j25c12aaq5rt3c42vjnog8>"
and "Great Photos - Simple
Cameras<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zus85mpgcqvaf33hmu49sopd90mc09btkbcr3630>,"
to see how you can squeeze every ounce of quality from what is essentially
a hand-held computer. You'll instantly notice your cat photos improve.
