Cell phone to take pictures

Because of the popularity of the camera phone and the quality of the image is improving every day, so a group of groups, they willing to take the camera phone as the only cameras. For myself, if I had to give up my DSLR and just use my phone to shoot, I would probably have a similar withdrawal reaction.

But I firmly believe that in all things in life there is a situation where there are several important moments that you need to preserve. Therefore, as a photographer, no matter where you are doing, you can use your mobile phone to capture the following lessons.

For most photographic equipment enthusiasts like me, they would rather donate their organs than give up their own cameras (donate a kidney, or other organs that come in handy, and get a full spare appendix to rest.) I guess this feeling is understandable, considering that we pay attention to the technology of the camera, but ignore its original purpose, the quality of the technology and we take pictures directly proportional to the ratio.

In fact, I'm not suggesting that people take a pinhole camera to shoot around to prove they're a "good" photographer, unless it's fun and worthwhile. If you really want to put aside your digital SLR camera, the next best alternative is not a low-tech pinhole camera, which may be preferred.

1. The vision of Discovery

It's not a no-brainer to take pictures on your phone. Obviously, there's no need to turn the knob on, and perhaps most importantly, there is no setting to adjust. You can have more free time to refine your vision. Finally, you'll find that anything you see is so different than using a digital SLR camera. Since there are so few controllable items, it is impossible to backtrack and rely on any technology to invent them. In order to take a better picture, you have to learn to "discover" the good things around you by relying only on your own wisdom.

2. Industrious bipedal

Have you ever used the zoom function of your mobile camera? If used, you know what a wonderful thing it is.

This is a technical dilemma: the thinner the phone, the harder it is to design a built-in camera with an optical zoom head. For most mobile phone cameras, zooming is actually a digital zoom (also known as digital zoom, translator note), but simply in the original image to enlarge the shrink cut, resulting in unsightly image massek. So, drop the zoom feature. If you need to be photographed close to your camera, you'd better count on both legs. This method is also suitable for the digital SLR camera with fixed focal lens. Sometimes (not absolutely), it's best to be closer to your goal.

3. Search for more light

Although the mobile phone camera image sensor will improve every time the technology is replaced, it still can't compare with the digital SLR camera's image sensor, so the handset camera faces the problem of whether the light gets enough. To make up for the shortfall, you have to learn to find better light, whether it's natural light (such as clouds in the sky) or artificial lights (such as turning on indoor light). In the same way, digital SLR cameras allow you to maintain low sensitivity when shooting.

4. Photographic composition

Repeat this: "The composition is still important when you use a mobile phone camera to shoot." You may not be able to control the shutter speed and sensitivity on your phone's camera, but you can control the composition at the time of filming. It is because using a mobile phone camera to shoot so there is no reason to ignore this, in fact, the mobile phone screen may be equipped with an option: the display of the well character to help you in the filming of the composition, you can refer to the classical composition of the law: "Three Rules", use this law. Enhancing composition skills is by no means a bad thing, using this technique as a basis to start breaking down some rigid composition methods.

5. Supplementary relationship

It is very convenient to have a mobile phone at the same time (personally think it is very low-key). It is small to put in the pocket is very suitable, and do not need to change the lens, no matter where you are carrying convenience, more in the occasional occasion, at any time capture. A photographic motto: The camera is just your tool, the best camera is the camera you've been using, so get started. The use of mobile phone cameras may instead encourage people to carry digital SLR cameras to record the moments of their lives with high quality.

6. Maintenance

I have observed that many people take special care of their own equipment, regularly for the camera cleaning and recharging, when carrying a protective sleeve. These behaviors are understandable, after all, what's good about faulty or broken phones? The digital SLR camera maintenance experience here is equally applicable to mobile phone users. In most cities mobile phone public charging stations are becoming easier to find, but there are no devices charging large cameras. So, when you're out filming, you have to take at least a fully charged battery, and when you go home, you have to be full of electricity even if you don't run out of batteries.

7. Although the snack is good, not long taste

While the technology of hand-held cameras is progressing-more sensitive image sensors, more sophisticated lenses, higher pixels-this is not enough to alienate SLR users from their cameras. But if you spend a lot of time and energy on camera photography, I can imagine how eager you are to be able to re-enable your original camera. Yes, you can't fit the big guy in your pocket, and you can't use it to call and play games, but it's your way of earning a living. You're an artist, and it's your paintbrush. Your hand-held camera is a close friend of yours, but this is by no means the main focus. To give you the main camera to put into the feelings, do not leave it in the cold.

They say the technology is more important than any other. Is that the truth? If you think you can do it, challenge yourself, take a few days off with your cell phone, and consider how you're going to use it for SLR cameras. If you have recently planned to transition your mobile phone camera to a digital SLR, have you found anything special, helpful and easy to make the transition easier?
