Did you know that one of the best cameras you can own is in your smartphone? “The Best Camera May Be the One in Your Pocket” will be presented on Tuesday, January 29th at Roane State Oak Ridge Campus, City Room, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This program is designed for iPhones, Androids and other smartphones.

 

 

Sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society, Doug Edlund, Assistant Director with UT Institute of Agriculture Marketing and Communications, shares his tips and tricks to get the most out of your smartphone photography. From lighting to composition, Edlund shares his experiences to help you get the best results to make your digital photos stand out.

 

 

With larger sensors, image stabilization and quality optics, today’s smartphones are capable of producing outstanding images, even when shooting in auto. Add the suite of image editing tools available in both the stock and third-party camera apps, and your creativity is unlimited. Smartphones are not just limited to still photography, they are also very capable video cameras. Many of today’s smartphones shoot 4K video and have been used in the production of a number of short films. Edlund’s presentation will also touch on how to shoot quality video and audio.

 

“Ask any photographer what is their favorite camera and a number will respond with, ‘The one I have in my hand right now.’ By learning the correct techniques, your favorite camera may just be the one that’s with you all of the time,” Edlund explained.
