Rick Sammon’s 24/7 Photo Buffet: an expert photographer in your pocket.
This app will make you a better photographer by providing photographic advice, tips, and techniques collected during Ricks 30+ years of professional experience. The interactive app is packed with detailed mini-articles, live-action movies, screen movies, and over 200 great photos.
Use this app to learn basic and advanced techniques, or as a searchable guide to find a fix for a tricky photographic situation. This is like having Rick – one of today’s top professional photographers and authors – with you 24/7.
The app was developed for SLR photographers, but its valuable for compact camera and iPhone shooters who want to make great pictures.
NOTE:
This is NOT an app to process images or take photos. Please do NOT buy it to manage your photo library - it will not do that. It is an app to teach you how to take better pictures using a real camera.
