I just upgraded to the iphone 8 and first the camera is far superior to the iPhone 6. I'm very impressed! Second, that trick is what I've learned works the best. And I think it's because the camera is just so much better.

Not sure what you mean by take a screenshot.
On computers and laptops, there's always a "prt sc" or "print screen" button. It save an image of what ever is on the display screen.
You can then save that and edited as a photo.
I hate smart phones (I have a flip phone, no camera, no texting ... just a phone), so I don't know if the same feature is available on those.

Fisherboy !!!
Are you taking pictures of those in the wild or in an aquarium ???
I recognize the Tiger Salamander ... but is that other one Red Eft (Newt)?
Great pictures, either way.

What he means y a screen shot is that you can capture a photo of whatever is showing on the screen by pressing the on/off button and home button at the same time for one or two seconds. You will hear a sort of click. Then go to your photos and you will see a folder called "screen shots" and there you will find a photo of what was on the screen.
Comes in handy for storing a lot of stuff for future viewing.

Cropping is just reducing the number of pixels saved. But you can resize a photo to keep the original but reduce the quality. Most people can't tell between a 4000x2000 and a 600x300 pixel photo online.
I do both. Crop the photo first, to get the best picture ... then resize it.
Since I am on a PC, I've got MSPaint, which allows for easy resizing. Most photo editing software will also give you that option.
I've never use them, but I've heard there are apps that are just for resizing.
Good luck.
