Learn to capture great photos with your smartphone

“

- Your smartphone camera isn't just a camera that you happen to always have with you. Today's smartphone cameras are very sophisticated photographic instruments that rival the quality and features of some dedicated cameras. To use one well then, you need to have a solid foundation in the basics of photography, just as you need to have with any other type of camera. Hi, I'm Ben Long, and in this LinkedIn Learning course, you're going to get that solid photo foundation. While you undoubtedly already know how to activate your camera app and snap a photo, you might not have the understanding of the underlying exposure theory that all photographers used to have to learn. As we work you through the basics of shutter speed and exposure compensation, you'll develop the skills that will help you ensure that your images have the detail that you want, where you want it, while remaining sharp and clear. From intelligently using your flash to accessing the cutting-edge, sophisticated, computational photography features found in high-end phones, this course will give you a solid theoretical foundation that will ensure better images. And along the way, we'll cover a thing or two about composition, seeing, and best practices. So get out your phone, launch that camera app, and let's take a serious dive into mobile photography.
