My Camera Phone


I recently got a new phone and the camera on it is very impressive. I have taken several photos actually 537 of everyday affairs in my life. I love to mess around with the effects and shooting modes. My favorite is the Mosaic shot because it breaks the image down to different shapes that I can manipulate and make abstract. I like to use the negative mode to get a darker and more dramatic effect.

There are many settings on the camera phone just like a regular camera. I can change the resolution, brightness, quality, focus, ISO, white balance, sharpness, contrast and saturation. Very different from the last phone I had from Verizon. I was surprised how well everything works in such a small package. I also get many compliments on how well the quality is on the photos.

It also has a video mode as well but I have not used it as much as I’d like. I plan on recording footage to make a video in the future with it but I have not found an idea yet. I’ve been having trouble finding my inspiration lately. I’ve been trying to capture images of random experiences but for some reason I have been missing the moment. Either I cannot catch the angle or the light or my timing is off with hitting the button.

The only thing I do not like about the camera is its timing from when the button is hit and when the picture is actually taken. It drives me insane, I have to tell people to wait at least 10 seconds before they can more away from the pose. I hit the button at the time I want to take the picture then it around 4-7 seconds before the picture is actually taken. By the time its taken the moment has past or its blurry and I get really mad. I also have a hard time with the flash because it gets really bright and blinds the eyes of everyone around when I use it. Besides those two problems I really enjoy it and think it can produce quality photos.
