Digital photography with smartphone - Gabriele Iocco
Introduction
My passion for photography was born when i was 12 years old, when my father gave me an analog SLR equipped with the classic 50 mm lens. As soon as i got it, i started thinking about how many photos i could take and wondering how i could make each shot special.
It was the mid-90s and, since at the time it was not easy to find manuals dedicated to SLR, my curiosity and desire to learn could be satisfied only by going to the photographer of the country where i lived that, during long afternoons that i still remember now, he patiently explained to me how best to use my camera in the most disparate situations and he revealed to me the meaning of the figures and acronyms reported on it.
As soon as i could put some money aside, i would buy a roll of film and start taking pictures, and i would go around the small provincial town where i lived and the surrounding countryside, looking for a subject or a glimpse of the landscape that was worth capturing. Once the phase of the 'shoot' was over, the waiting phase began: at the time, in fact, to see their printed photographs it was necessary to wait a week. In fact, i had to take the film to the photographer, who in turn had to send it to a photo development center, where the photos would be printed and then sent back to the photographer’s shop where, after a week of waiting, i could have them in my hands.
I confess that, because of the impossibility of obtaining a preview of the shots (which is now considered obvious thanks to digital), the results were not always in line with expectations.
Even today it is possible to use cameras equipped with roll with the substantial difference that, digitizing the negatives, you can get prints of your own photos in a few minutes.
But this is the era of smartphones, constantly evolving, practical and lightweight devices and their cameras give very satisfactory results, especially using manual mode to capture our shots.
Talking about photography with friends and acquaintances I have often been asked questions about the use of this mode, in which the application that manages the camera allows us to control the camera parameters and to set them according to our needs and our creativity.
From these conversations came the idea of writing this theoretical and practical guide that will lead you to the discovery of photography with smartphones. I hope it will be as clear as possible and I hope it will make you want to try to take your photos in manual mode: I can guarantee that, once you see the results, you will hardly go back.
