Mobile Photography in the
hands of a professional or highly skilled amateur photographer is now raking in
accolades around the globe.
Dr Russell Brown from Adobe
recently used only an iPhone on a trip to the Antarctica. His images were
published and exhibited by a major photographic supplier of printers and
supplies. Fine Art Photographer Tony Sweet sells his iPhone images at the same
price as those taken with his big boy Nikons. The list goes on.
What is Mobile Photography?
The use of iPhones and other Smart cell phones, electronic pads like the iPad
where you can: 1.Take the photo, 2.edit the images, 3. save the stored the
image and 4.immediately share with the world via the internet.
How to get started?
1. Learn how to use both the
given automatic and all of the manual controls of the camera on the mobile
devices. (Just like any other camera.) There are technical skills and
creativity needed as in any photographic venture.
2. Find out what are the
best photo applications (apps) to use for shooting and editing the images.
3. Use the cell phone camera
by always having it with you and ready to use. More great images were lost
except for that image in our mind because we never had a camera ready to shoot.
Use our editing skills in Photoshop and other editing software and use the same
techniques with apps in the mobile devices.
1. Hold the Phone/Camera
still for good sharp photos.
2. Quick Access Using the
Left Swipe.
3. Manual focus by touching
the screen on the most important spot to focus in the image.
4. AE/AF Lock.
5. Use the HDR feature in
high contrast situations. (iPhone users – I recommend VividHDR app as a better
solution then the built in HDR.
6. Shoot Using Burst Mode to
catch moving subjects.
7. Use the Volume Buttons
and your Apple Headphones for another shutter button. Follow the light for the
best images and less editing. (Professional Photographers can now shoot RAW
files on the iPhone and edit the RAW images in Lightroom Mobile and then send
these images to their computer via Adobe’s service.)
Editing images in your
mobile devices has been made simple, fast and with quality tools like Photoshop
and Lightroom by using the free app “Snapseed”. If you have a workflow that
works on your computer, do not change your procedure for Snapseed. If you are
new to photo editing, try the very basic editing tools already in Photos on
your devices.
Snapseed will give you more
powerful tools with no cost and large learning curve associated with Photoshop
and Lightroom. Getting started with Snapseed – there are built in tutorials in
the app. You need WiFi for the tutorials. There also are many free tutorial in
YouTube. (I have extensive notes and suggestions on my Speaker Notes 2017. Email
me for a free copy at jerryhug@comcast.net)
