You may give me less image quality, it’s true. But it also gives me some freedom and spontaneity that sometimes it is impossible to get with a regular photo camera. Do you want to give a try? Got better images with your smartphone?

Forget that’s a Mobile

In the time you need to take a photo and all you have is your mobile phone, forget that what you have is a smartphone is a camera. The camera you have at hand.

The situation and ask yourself if you were doing the best photo of your life with the best camera on the market: think about what you want to get the picture, do you want to tell. Searching for the best composition (follow the rules or break them as you are interested), come in or out to get (flees flatly, the digital zoom. All you get with it will be lost-even-image quality). And speaking of image quality: it is true; maybe your camera phone does not have the best definition of the world. But in case there is more worthwhile to capture that image that struck you make to stop by “not having a decent camera?”. If all you have is a camera phone, then the phone camera is the best camera in the world. Take it.

Take advantage of all these characteristics of the camera you’re holding features; sure there are pictures that could only be made with the discretion that gives you a mobile phone.

Have a Quick Access to the House

Having quick access to the camera function, will be very useful when the slightest delay may prevent you from taking that photo you wanted to do. We have made clear that using the smartphone camera is fine, among others, by the immediacy of having “photographic equipment” as you need it. If you have hidden in menus and other applications camera … Where is the immediacy?

The Good, If Simple, Good Twice

This is another feature to take pictures with mobile phone:. Everything becomes very simple if you are used to shooting in manual or semi-automatic with an SLR, the fact of using the mobile phone camera can drive you to despair because , although there are applications to control a bit more the firing process, in most cases all (or almost all) is fully automated.

This can be a disadvantage, but what if we use it as an advantage? Try to simplify the act of making pictures. This may be another way to experience photography: worrying, only, of the composition, the time or place to take the picture.
