Fotobug guys discuss ways to improve image capture using your mobile phone!
Jim and Fred also discuss recent photography news.
Pelican cases have introduced a new Air series of cases that offer protection with less weight. Did a consumer drone really crash into a jet landing at
Heathrow airport? A new
Kickstarter campaign is designing a DSLR style grip to work with
iPhones.
Lytro has debuted it
Cinema Prototype at
NAB 2016 in Las Vegas. The
Sony plant that makes sensors in Japan has been temporarily shut down due to the recent earthquake. Another former
Kickstarter project has created a pocket sized slider for DSLR cameras and will be sold at a reduced price until July.
The Fotobug guys present a how-to on optimizing captures with your mobile phone or tablet. Due to the small sensors, fixed lenses, and fixed apertures on mobile phone cameras, there are special techniques that will permit the photographer to capture the best images possible. Chances are a photographer won't always have a DSLR or mirrorless camera but will likely be carrying a mobile phone with a built-in camera. Jim recommends using the mobile camera as a "photographer's sketchpad" but images captured with these cameras with a little care can be quite good!
