Do You Want Photos with your Cell
Phone?
When the cell phone was first made
available to the general public, people thought that
this was the ultimate in personal communication. Since
then, however, upgrades have caused these first devices
to become classified as nothing more than the communications
fossils of the distant past.
Today, you can take a picture, call your friends and
share the photo with them all at the same time.
Although using a camera phone isn't
terribly difficult, the taking of a good picture can
be a bit challenging. Since the device is small, there
are things that need to be taken into consideration
that you may not have to think about when taking a
photo with a conventional camera. While these devices
aren't intended to produce high-quality prints, you'll
still want to be sure that your pictures capture the
moment in the best way possible.
Once you have decided to take some shots,
make sure you take a variety of shots. Don't forget
with a cell phone camera, like a digital camera, you
can just delete any you don't like without making
any prints. You have nothing to lose by taking a lot
of pictures of the same subject. The
ones you do finally pick can be uploaded to your computer
and then you the further option of either saving them
in an electronic photo album or printing them to hard
copy.
Since you probably won't have the zoom
option that most cameras possess ' these types of
phones don't often offer such a feature ' then you'll
have to be sure to stand close enough to the person
or object that's being photographed, or else the loss
of quality will diminish their features.
Standing too close can cause issues with blurriness,
so aim for a distance of about one or two feet before
shooting the picture.
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,
Many camera phones will allow you to
choose your resolution. If you prefer low, medium
or high resolution, set it to the highest level before
attempting to take any pictures High means high quality,
which is the choice you want to make for all of your
photos. It may not appear to
be any different when you are looking at the picture
on the camera phone, but you will notice a big difference
when you upload it to your computer and view it on
your screen.
Keep in mind that a plain background
is best, so that the subject of the picture is the
main focus. You should also be sure, too, that you
don't intrude upon someone's personal space. Always
be courteous and obtain the permission of the person
whose picture you are taking. A camera phone isn't
worth getting into trouble over, as exciting as it
can be to have the ability to snap pictures
at random.
