Friends and family know not to expect me to answer my mobile phone and that it might take me a day or two to respond to texts because I just don’t bother to check them. I really have it for emergencies and to take photos. It beats lugging around my heavy camera (although you still can’t beat a proper zoom lens!). I really just point and shoot, but I’ve recently done a quick LinkedIn course to find out more about using my phone as a camera and discovered it is more versatile than I thought. Two quick tips I picked up (which probably everyone knows!):
\n– on the i-phone, you can use the volume button to take the picture, which makes it sooooo much easier
\n– you can adjust the exposure by clicking on the area on your screen and sliding your finger up and down
\nI think this is just the tip of the iceberg – I also discovered why my night time photos are so much better when taken with the phone (the phone takes multiple exposures and stitches together the best bits – don’t use flash unless it is as fill flash!). Novice photographer in the house – it’s going to be so much fun experimenting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
