Photo Options: The New Wave in Cell Phone Communications

We thought cell phones were the most sophisticated tool
imaginable, when we first started using them. Back then,
everyone was jealous of anyone who had a cell phone. Now
we practically take them for granted because everyone has
one, and. Amazing advances by the communications geniuses
have allowed for upgrades that have made cell phones even
more space age. The old cell phone is now an antique.

The camera phone is the latest innovation is. Taking a
good picture can still be a challenge, even if they have
made them easier to use. It is not the same as using a
conventional camera, since it is a very small device. That
has to be taken into consideration, and even though no one
expects to get high-quality prints from cell phone cameras,
you still want to have pictures that show you what is
happening and 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.

You probably don~t have a zoom option on your cell phone
camera that other cameras have. At this point, these phones
don~t offer such a feature. (Not yet, anyway!) So be sure
to stand close to the person or object that you are
photographing. If you do not, you will lose quality and you
will probably not be able to see their features. You also
cannot stand too close, because it will cause blurriness,
so stand about one or two feet from the subject.

When taking a photo of a person or animal, make sure you
take the picture from eye level. You~ll increase your
chances of getting the right resolution and you will
capture the true personality of the subject when you shoot
from that point. To take a picture from an angle detracts
from the overall quality, and may give you some wierd
effects that you are not looking for, and you risk losing
some good shots if you don~t get close to your subject.

Insufficient light is the catalyst of a bad picture and,
unless your camera phone has a built-in flash, you~re going
to have to be alert to the light levels before you snap
any photos. Bright light is best, especially when it
reflects off of the subject of the picture. If you~re
planning to photograph indoors, be sure to make the light
as bright as possible.

Many camera phones will allow you to choose the
resolution that you prefer. Set your resolution to low,
medium or high level before attempting to snap any shots.
High means high quality, so that is the resolution you
should always use for all of your photos. There will be a
noticeable difference when you upload it to your computer
and view it on your screen, even if it doesn~t appear to
be any different on the camera phone~s viewer.

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.
