We thought cell phones were the most sophisticated tool
imaginable, when we first started using them. Back then,
everyone was jealous of anyone who had a cell phone. Now
we practically take them for granted because everyone has
one, and. Amazing advances by the communications geniuses
have allowed for upgrades that have made cell phones even
more space age. The old cell phone is now an antique.
The camera phone is the latest innovation is. Taking a
good picture can still be a challenge, even if they have
made them easier to use. It is not the same as using a
conventional camera, since it is a very small device. That
has to be taken into consideration, and even though no one
expects to get high-quality prints from cell phone cameras,
you still want to have pictures that show you what is
happening and capture the moment in the best way possible.
When something presents itself that you feel should be
committed to ~film,~ take a variety of shots. That way,
you~ll have the option of going through the pictures and
choosing the ones that you like. You can always delete the
others, so there~s nothing to lose by taking several of
the same subject. The winners can be uploaded onto your
computer and either saved in an electronic photo album or
printed for inclusion in a hard copy collection.
Cell phone camera don't offer a zoom option on that your
other cameras may have. At least, at this point in time,
these phones don~t offer such a feature. You have to make
sure to stand close to the person or object that you are
photographing. You will lose quality and you will probably
not be able to see their features if you do not. However,
it will cause blurriness if you stand too close, so stand
about one or two feet from the subject.
If you~re planning to take a photo of a person or animal,
it~s important to take the picture from eye level. You~ll
have a much better chance of getting the correct resolution
and capturing the true personality of the individual when
you shoot from that vantage point. Shooting from an angle
can detract from the overall quality, and you can lose some
very engaging shots if you don~t get ~up close and
personal~.
Unless your camera phone has a built-in flash, you~re going
to have to be alert to light levels before you snap any
pictures. Insufficient light is the top cause of a bad
photo. Bright light is always best, when it reflects off
of the subject of the picture. Be sure to make the light
as bright as possible, if you~re planning to do your
photography indoors,
Since many camera phones will allow you to choose the
resolution that you prefer ~ low, medium or high ~ set to
it the highest level before attempting to snap any shots.
~High~ is equivalent to ~high quality,~ which is the
scenario that you want for all of your photos. Even if it
doesn~t appear to be any different on the camera phone~s
output, there will be a noticeable difference when you
upload it to your computer and view it on your screen.
In addition to these helpful hints, you should also keep in
mind that a plain background is best, so that the subject
of the picture is the main focus. Be sure, too, that you
don~t intrude upon someone else~s personal space. Always
be courteous and obtain the permission of the person that
you~re hoping to capture on film. For as exciting as it
can be to have the ability to snap pictures at random, a
camera phone isn~t worth getting into trouble over!
