New Delhi, Oct 20 (NationPress) Apple CEO Tim Cook took to social media on Monday to send Diwali wishes to millions celebrating the festival of lights globally. Along with his warm messages, he showcased a breathtaking image captured by Mumbai-based photographer Apeksha Makar using the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Cook shared the ‘stunning’ Diwali photograph on the X social media platform, expressing, “Wishing a joyful and healthy Diwali to all celebrating around the world! Thanks to Apeksha Makar for sharing this amazing photo taken on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.”

Apeksha, co-founder of House of Pixels and a renowned celebrity photographer, emphasizes the importance of utilizing the powerful tools in your pocket with new iPhones to explore your creativity. She believes that the iPhone 17 series excels in capturing life in various lighting conditions. For optimal shots, adjusting focus and exposure can enhance your photography.

Recently, Indian photography experts provided professional tips on how to beautifully capture diyas and candles using the iPhone 17 series without losing highlight details this Diwali. Photographer Bobby Roy highlighted the effectiveness of the Night Mode in the iPhone 17 series for achieving stunning results. “Utilizing 48MP HEIF MAX can reveal intricate textures of lights and festive decorations, making the most of what the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max offers. Portrait mode is excellent for capturing soft, cinematic moments and pooja portraits,” he suggested.

Another photographer, Porus Vimadalal, recommended using 2x or 4x zoom for portraits, as it compresses the background and renders faces more proportionate. He advised to focus and slightly decrease exposure for subtle highlights, especially in bright environments, allowing for a cinematic finish that can be refined during editing.

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max come equipped with Apple’s most advanced camera systems, featuring high-resolution sensors both front and back—akin to having eight professional lenses at your disposal. Three 48MP Fusion cameras ensure sharper and more detailed images, while a new 48MP Telephoto camera incorporates next-generation tetraprism design, boasting a sensor that is 56 percent larger than its predecessor, thereby enhancing sharpness in bright conditions and adding detail to darker shots.
