Why take just one picture when you can easily make a
stereo pair? Expand your photographic repertoire into the
world of stereo imaging.
Right Image Left Image
A stereo pair consists of two pictures, one for the left
eye and one for the right. Even though the two pictures
may look very similar, they're not identical. During
viewing, the left eye sees the left image and the right
eye the right; then the brain fuses the two so you
perceive depth.

GIMP vs. Photoshop: Which One Is Better For You?
https://www.udemy.com/blog/gimp-vs-photoshop/
If you want to create a website or blog, or share
interesting photos on Facebook and other social media
sites, you need to use an image-editing program. GIMP and
Photoshop are two of the best image-editing programs
available, and they each have some unique advantages.
We'll talk below about the things that each program is
particularly good at, so that you will feel confident
about choosing the right one for your needs.
Whatever your image-editing needs, and whether you are a
web design professional or just a Facebook user who wants
to post awesome photos online, one of these two excellent
programs will be perfect for you.

How does a high-end smartphone camera compare to a $3,400 DSLR?
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/10/smartphone-camera-vs-dslr/
We've also demonstrated--pretty amply, I believe-that the
skill of a photographer matters more than the equipment.
This is pretty obvious because even with that expensive
DSLR, the images I make aren't anywhere near as good as the
images that can be banged out by a more skilled
photographer. In fact, one of the most extreme examples of
just how far skill trumps equipment was put together by
DigitalRev TV and features BAFTA-winning cinematographer
Philip Bloom attempting to scrabble together a movie using
a 240p-resolution Barbie Video Girl camera. The results are
surprisingly good--far better than most folks could
probably manage even with a much better camera.
So raise your iPhones up high and snap away--unless you
need to spend a lot on a camera, you're almost certainly
fine. Step away from automatic shooting and learn the
camera's settings a bit, maybe, but don't feel like you
need to spend thousands to take better pictures. Instead,
remember this photography aphorism: "Amateurs worry about
gear; professionals worry about money; masters worry about
light."
