Taking Photos with Your Phone
30 years ago, people would read the headline and laugh. In 2014 this has become commonplace. What also has become commonplace is people being ok with the quality and then for some reason that translates into "good enough". However, if you are using your "phone" to take pictures that need to get printed.....you need to do your homework.
First, if you shake or move while taking the shots they will look worse than your cheapest "camera". Second, if you are not a photographer these may not be the shots you want to see printed. Below is an example of what we have seen by people who should not be taking photos with their phone.
There is good news for those of you who cannot afford a photographer but still need the photos. Lots of attachments are available for the Iphone and Android to help you take better photos. Lenses, tripods, stands and more. Do some research on the web and you will find them.
But even with all the goodies, your photos may not be of the quality you need. Check your settings. The photo ratio should be AT LEAST 2000 x 1400 if you want the photos "printed". Next, don't assume that your photos look good. Actually look at the photos you are taking. If you have any doubts take another one of three. The odds are against you when using your phone for photos that need to be printed......do the extra work and it will save you tons of time and money.
Last but not least. If you think you have it all dialed in and need a professional opinion, send us one of the photos. We can tell right away if you are on the mark or have missed it.
