"Better Photos By Using Daytime Flash"

Dear Stay Focussed reader, Welcome to the August newsletter. Apologies for being late - the holiday season and the Olympics have got me out of kilter! It's summer, and recently I was lucky enough to spend the day at the Olympic Park with the family. We had a great day out and took lots of photos. As I was snapping away I instinctively turned the flash on. Why? Especially in broad daylight? There is a reason ... Cameras try to average the light in a scene. They assume that everything is mid-grey in brightness. Consequently, when faced with a bright scene they tend to underexpose the foreground to compensate for the bright background. Thus maintaining a brightness of mid-grey. The problem is that the foreground (in this case, the photo of my two little ones), comes out underexposed. By turning on the flash you can "fill in" some light to the foreground, without sacrificing the background - the flash will never reach the background. The result is the photo above - a bright background, and a bright cheery foreground. Want more proof that flash in daytime works? Watch a wedding photographer at work, the flash is almost never turned off. Hope this little tip helps. Give it a try and you might be amazed at just how good daylight photos can be. See you next month, and if you haven't yet done so, check out my facebook page! Darrell.

"Take better photos with camera phones"

Dear Stay Focussed reader, Welcome to the July newsletter. Got a smartphone? Got a basic phone with a camera? Ever felt the photos it takes aren't up to much? Last month I talked about apps for smartphones that can create interesting images. This month the focus is on getting a decent picture in the first place. To start with, it helps to understand why camera phones so often don't take amazing photos. First, they have very small image sensors (don't be fooled by the pixel count either!) Second, the lenses are generally of poor quality Finally, the electronics inside them are trying to run your phone, play music, download updates ... AND take photos - it's a big ask! A digital camera will be better than a camera phone in all respects, except one... ...the chances are you take your phone everywhere, but not necessarily your camera. Which means, no camera, no photo. So, assuming that you have your phone with you, what can you do to tip the odds of taking a decent photo in your favour? Here's five top tips that should lead to better camera phone photos tip one - make sure you have your camera set to take photos at the highest resolution and at the best quality setting. Often, by default, these are not set to the best quality - mainly because it takes up more memory. But if you make sure you download photos before the camera's memory gets full you should be ok. tip two - get as much light as possible into your photo. Outside in the daytime is the best time for taking photos on a camera phone. If you're inside turn on as many lights as possible. Camera phones are particularly poor in low light. tip three - make sure the lens is clean. Because camera phones go into pockets and get handled a lot, there is massive potential to get smudges on the lens. I usually twist the corner of my shirt into a point and wiggle this around the lens. Not very professional, but it works! tip four - use the pre-focus function. Get ready with your subject, and wait until the camera phone has focussed before taking the photo. Camera phones are much slower in terms of operation that actual cameras, so you need to be just a bit more patient! tip five - think about your subject choice. as I mentioned in tip 4, camera phones are slow in operation. They aren't going to cope with taking fast moving images. But stationary objects are no problem at all. I hope these tips help. Give them a try and you might be amazed at just how good photos from camera phones can be. See you next month, and if you haven't yet done so, check out my facebook page! Darrell.

INVITATION DOMONOVA AU SALON BATIMMO MED

"Camera Phones and Facebook"

Dear Stay Focussed reader, Welcome to the June newsletter. Two things this month - camera phones, and Facebook. Camera phones I wonder if you have a camera phone? Maybe you know someone who has one? The reason I ask is that they seem to be getting better and better! I tried a friend's iPhone the other day and I have to admit the pictures were pretty darn good! But they go even further these days. A few free apps can turn your camera phone into something rather special. Put simply, you download the app and install it on your phone. Then snap away. You can make changes to your photos right there and then as you take the photo, or apply effects afterwards. The effects are things like cross processing, warped features, enhanced highlights...the list goes on and on! My personal feelings are mixed. If we make all our current photos look 'old', what will we look back on in years to come? What will define 2012 in terms of image 'feel'? I've written in more detail here, but I do recommend giving the apps a try if you can, and come to your own conclusion. digital-photography-tips.net on Facebook! I've taken the plunge and decided to create a Facebook page for digital-photography-tips.net. I'm sure you know far more about Facebook than me so if you have any tips please don't hesitate to send them my way. Hopefully the page will build and it gives you, my subscriber, an easy way to share your images and thoughts on all things photography. The page is here; http://www.facebook.com/dpt.net and I think all you do is 'like' it, or 'friend' it, or something like that...! That's all for this month, give the apps a go if you can, and hope to see you on Facebook! Darrell.
