I’ve had an iPhone for 3 years and found taking a photo frustrating. I keep getting videos! Dang.
\nYesterday when wanting a photo of a Pink Hollyhock, I got several 1.5 second videos.
\nI investigated. The problem is that someone a Apple Co. decided that short videos were a great idea. Thus, the default setting is called “Live Photos”. Live Photos were introduced in Sept. 2015 along with the iPhone 6S series. At that time I had a small flip phone \u2013 it only made and received calls.
\nWhen you open the iPhone’s Camera app, the app automatically begins taking pictures even if you don’t tap the shutter button. This allows the phone to capture photos as quickly as possible. Those photos are automatically deleted if they’re not needed without the user ever being aware of them. Yeah, right!
\nI never knew what was going on, but I did get the short videos I wasn’t supposed to be aware of. Bummer.<\/p>\n

I found the following link, followed the directions and turned the Live Photo slider to off (color goes from green to white).<\/p>\n

Here is the first photo I took after discovery:

\nI’ve also (finally) learned how to get a photo onto my PC from the iPhone.
\nThat is another story.
\nThe second photo \u2013 this morning \u2013 of Pink Hollyhocks. Seeds given to me by vine pruning colleague Mark and planted this spring. A rabbit nibbled them back when their leaves where just 2 inches out of the ground. I fenced, fertilized, and watered. They did nicely with the rabbit excluded.

\n The prime person on my house work just had an appendectomy. Recovery times vary but two weeks seems the suggested “do very little” period. This confirms my motto:

I think I will have a glass of wine.<\/p>\n
