Tea time in York, 2012

I read several posts by different bloggers about how to better iphone photos this morning and I realised that it really is about the basics of how to take a good photograph:
1. natural lighting (direction of light)
2. composition (rule of 3rds, leading lines)
3. focus (and creating depth in the background)
4. get close enough to the subject
5. think about what you want to capture/why do you want to take a photograph of that moment and then take the photo
