The end?

When it comes down to it the guide posts I made for this are not the 'be-all-end-all' for what cell phone photography is.  


I really do enjoy taking pictures on so many mediums, but really at the end of the day the best camera is the one in your hands.  

Just sticking to what is most easiest for you.  For me and most all of us, our cell phones are what is the easiest and most reliable. 

Just remember a few of the guidelines I have pointed out for you.  

1) turn your grids on, you will see better pictures happen.  This rule/ piece of advice I kind of equate to when we started learning to color.  Our coloring books became better when we started coloring inside the lines.  The same can be said for using our grids.  You can see a better image or see what you want to see when you can see your lines.

2) Finding a subject is not easy.  Although, most of us just see thing(s) that are appealing and snap a quick picture.  It is so easy with our phones to take as many pictures as we want, so why not?  Just do it, and know you can be forgiven if the image lacks focus.  Just keep trying.  Tap and sharpen that picture so you make your image & subject matter better.  Blurry pictures are nice, and they can be better sometimes.  My little rules are not meant to be taken verbatim but rather as a guide that can and cannot be followed.

3) What makes a blurry photo better is if the subject is captured with plenty of space on one side or the other, this creates movement.  Which again we see the subject 'moving' without actually being in motion.  This blurry kind of photo creates a leading line in the mind that they are going somewhere. The perspective of this image in my example is not in focus but you see the race going to the finish line, and that is the point.  The above image is not in focus, the subject is clear however, and the rule of thirds is followed.  Again, not everything is by the book but it works.

4) Symmetry is hardly found in nature, but nature is all around us, or even on our face or off the coffee we drink.

Again, rules are meant to be broken.  This second example of what can be done when you twerk your images a bit, but again our cell phones are one readily available image capturing device, but also full of potential.  When it comes to symmetry circles work wonders.  This image is not very focused, but the zoom was not used, and thereby making me have to use my noggin a bit more.  The rule of thirds is well and alive here, because the black ends of the image add up to that unused area.  Overall, just have fun with reflections and symmetry.  Rolling up different guides to aid your images is really what I am trying to help y'all with. 

5) Candis and zoom.  Nope, just move your feet and get in there!  Canids either close or far away are ways we show emotions in our images.  Genuine emotion is what using your cell phone is actually the best at.  The cell phone creates a method for getting real photos without scaring people with a giant camera.  The cell phone is just the right size device to get away with genuine pictures and emotion.

I guess in conclusion, it is so much fun to capture images on your phone since you can just shot from the hip.  I hope the guides I have left for you from my own pictures help.  Thanks for reading!
