Introduction Cell phone cameras cannot hope to compete with dSLR cameras with interchangeable lenses, zoom, and aperture control, yet cell phone cameras are being used to create outstanding images by the likes of National Geographic photographers. This course concentrates on how to deal with the limitations and take advantage of the strengths to help you be a better cell phone photographer.Whether or not you take pictures for pleasure or for pay, you should always strive to do your best -- and show your best. Great photography is not necessarily about equipment, but how you approach capturing an image. Cell phone cameras have a fixed focal length (wide angle) and a fixed aperture (f/1.8) with no moving parts. These limit the ability to control depth of focus, which is not particularly good for portraiture. Cell phone camera's strengths are: o Low Light Photography o Landscape Photography o Close-up Photography o Smart photo analysis, electronic processing, and HDR o Uploading images to a remote computer o Panoramic Photography o Video o Easy to carry o Always have it with you The future of photography is code https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/22/the-future-of-photography-is-code/ Android Cameras https://www.xda-developers.com/using-manual-camera-controls-improving-the-quality-and-versatility-of-your-photography/ https://www.michaelfrye.com/2018/01/24/photographers-guide-yosemite-android/ http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s7/camera/ http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s8/camera/ https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s9/camera/ https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s10/camera/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/2018/03/japan-macaque-grooming/ iPhone User Guide & support https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-camera-settings-iphb362b394e/ios https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/take-photos-iph263472f78/ios https://help.apple.com/iphone https://www.apple.com/iphone/photography-how-to/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHFlHpPjgk72JW5vfYlzycSgG_Z6EV4hK https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-tips/iphone-photography-tips/ https://www.imore.com/apples-new-world-gallery-feature-77-photographers-across-70-cities-and-24-countries Tips Mastering Your Camera Phone https://smartphones.gadgethacks.com/news/10-photography-tips-for-mastering-your-camera-phone-0128865/ Meet the National Geographic photographer who covered the Southwest with a Nokia https://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/national-geographic-photographer-stephen-alvarez-qa/ Basic Photography: A Set of Exercises http://teeksaphoto.org/Writing/BasicPhotoExercises.html Book Recommendations John Berger About Looking Pantheon (1980) ISBN: 0679736557 As a novelist, art critic, and cultural historian, John Berger is a writer of dazzling eloquence and arresting insight whose work amounts to a subtle, powerful critique of the canons of our civilization. In About Looking he explores our role as observers to reveal new layers of meaning in what we see. How do the animals we look at in zoos remind us of a relationship between man and beast all but lost in the twentieth century? What is it about looking at war photographs that doubles their already potent violence? How do the nudes of Rodin betray the threats to his authority and potency posed by clay and flesh? And how does solitude inform the art of Giacometti? In asking these and other questions, Berger quietly -- but fundamentally -- alters the vision of anyone who reads his work.
