Your Cell Phone IS Your Camera

Use your cell phone as your full time camera.

The best camera you have is the one that you have with you - this is an old saying in the photography world.

However, it's more relevant today then ever because the camera we usually have with us is our cell phone. But that's not a bad thing.

Today's cell phones are as powerful if not better than the point and shoot cameras you can buy. The best advantage your mobile phone has as a camera are the applications you can use to edit and share your photos seconds after you take the photo.

It's simple: shoot, edit and share. No pocket cameras can do that. If you're worried about the quality of the image, don't. Image quality worries are a thing of the past when mobile phones are concerned. Many people use their iPhone or Droid to photograph images that are printed as large prints for their home or office. 

Using your phone as your " all the time " camera allows you to shoot as much as you want anytime you want. Remember you're not paying for film anymore, you have a built-in flash and you have apps to process the photo on the spot, so click away!
