Take Your Camera With You!
Okay, so I know this seems really cheesy...but seriously - TAKE YOUR CAMERA WITH YOU. It is so tempting to just snap pictures on your camera phone these days, and many of us find it too easy to just leave the 'real' camera at home, knowing you've got your trusty camera phone. Okay, so there IS a time and a place where camera phones are great, but in reality, you cannot really plan on doing anything WITH most those images..see examples below. The quality, even on some of the nicer phones, quite frankly stinks, when you compare it to the quality of even a lower end digital camera. Of course it looks great at 2x3.5 inches on your phone...but look what happens when we view it in a larger size. Now don't get me wrong...I am not saying you should ban the use of your camera phones, just think about what you plan to do with the images you are shooting...is there a chance that you will want to print them, or view them in a slide show on your computer? Check these out below.
This image was taken with my Blackberry Camera Phone. Notice the pixelized look...If I had wanted to print this image of Claire painting this teapot to include with it, as a gift, it would not have resulted in a nice print.
This image was taken with my digital camera.
Much better quality, and would make a nice print to go
along with the gift, and would make the teapot
even more meaningful.
So there you go - take your camera and have a great weekend!!! Happy Snapping!!!
