Thanks to the ever improving technology is being put into smartphone cameras, most of us do always have a camera on us at all times, but smartphone cameras aren 't necessarily the most effective ways to capture the shots we happen to see during our everyday lives. Sure, sometimes they are all that we need, but because we are so used to carrying them around and using them for other things, like talking on the phone or checking in on our social media accounts, I don 't always think about having a camera in my pocket 24/7. So I thought to myself, what would happen if I started carrying around a dedicated camera everywhere I went?
As it turns out, lot 's of good things happened--here 's seven things I noticed after pledging to bring along my mirrorless

That led to me more actively looking for something to take photographs of rather than just waiting for something to jump out at me.
2. Practicing Became A Daily Habit
I started getting in a lot more practice sessions in without having to specifically set aside time to do so. Practicing just became an ingrained habit in my everyday life because I was always on the lookout for photo opportunities and taking more photos than I was before. Of course, not all of them turned out to be keepers, but I did make a point to make sure I was learning something from each of these sessions.
3. My Personal Style Became

There were times when the only camera I had on me was a smartphone, which I would use because it was what I happened to have on me at the time, but I still didn 't get the shot I wanted because of the innate limitations shooting on such a device presented. One could argue getting a shot is better than no shot--and I would even agree to an extent--but getting the shot I envisioned is even better, and when I had a more powerful camera on me I was more likely to accomplish it. That resulted in me taking more photos that I was proud to put in my portfolio and offer for sale on a stock photography
The article also talks about how we immediately pick up our phones. I have witnessed this happen at a concert before. In which the performers were trying to hype up the crowd but instead of everyone going along with it and dancing, people stood still phone in hand recording instead. I believe that smartphones have also caused people to lack the ability to live in the moment.
Our modern day society depends on technology for everything, can anyone imagine a life without their phone or computer? Probably not, social media and other popular applications have become so ingrained into our daily lives. Not only can we connect with people anytime throughout the day but we also have so many useful applications that help us on a daily basis. Thinking back to when I was eight years old, I couldn 't wait for sixth grade because my parents had promised to get me a cell phone, I remember counting down the days till the summer of fifth grade was over because I already knew which cell phone I wanted. Once I got it I couldn’t stop showing my mom all of the cool things it could do. Which looking back at it today, it really couldn
There have been lots of modern technologies introduced in the United States of America to assist law enforcement agencies with crime prevention. But the use of body-worn cameras by police personnel brings about many unanswered questions and debate. Rising questions about the use of body cam are from concern citizens and law enforcement personnel. In this present day America, the use body cameras by all law enforcement personnel and agencies are one of the controversial topics being discussed on a daily base. Body worn cameras were adopted due to the alleged police brutality cases: for instance, the case of Michael Brown, an African-American who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 2014, Eric Garner died as a result of being put in a chokehold by a New York police officer, and John Crawford, shot and killed by a police officer at a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.
Problem Statement: The problem is the Tempe Police Department permits police officers to determine to activate their body cameras rather than mandate an automatic activation procedure.
Body cameras have been the new initiative over the past few years. Barack Obama announced that in 2014 allocated millions of dollars for federal funding to allow police officers to wear body cameras and to increase their training (Harvard Law Review). There are many organizations that have voiced their opinion of the use of body cameras. Many have stated that body cameras are a good idea and they should be implemented. The American Civil Liberties Union has stated that they are believe body cameras should be used across the country, but the public should still have their privacy (Harvard Law Review).
After considering the information in this week’s instructor guidance and readings, I have selected the research topic:
The introduction of portable cameras has made it feasible for anyone with basic knowledge of how to use a camera to now go out and record what they see. However, what one chooses to photograph is still a reflection on them as well as well as the scenes they witness.
Are Police in the United States out of control? I believe that police brutality is over sensationalized in today 's society. Allegations of police brutality has continued making headlines since the 1990s. Recent deaths have sparked riots and created the Black Lives Matter movement. A lot of the stories portray police officers as harmful beings, but a lot of times the news only tells one side of the story, which usually makes them out to be the villains. If the police were really abusing their power, wouldn’t there be more deaths? Police have the right to stop and question an individual if they suspect that individual or circumstance seems suspicious. Police are criticized everyday for the judgement they make. When something happens, police
Now now, I know that it might not seem like an important topic to ponder over, but with the easy access to a camera on the iPhone, I thought it would be great to share some tips and tricks on the iPhone camera since not all of us own a professional camera or even have the time to head over to Martin Hall to check one out. I would have to say, the iPhone camera is one of the best invention since sliced bread. HAHA. Ever since the great invention of the iPhone camera, iPhonegraphy (iPhone-photography) is now commonly used to take photographs compared to professional cameras and even a compact digital camera.
Shyann Gaulien Police Brutality / Body Cameras Argumentative Essay Summer Session Mr. Grenier Stop Police Brutality “The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” - John F. Kennedy. There is a controversy today on whether or not policeman are abusing their power. To lessen police brutality, police are issued to wear body cameras while on duty to record incidents, which protect themselves and others. Policemen should be required to wear body cameras to ensure the public of no police brutality.
Throughout the decades, dozens of police wrongdoing has been surfacing a lot more on social media due to technology. The killing of an innocent is a prime example of what has been going on within the police department. There have been tons of cases where violence between an officer and the citizen or even death of the citizen has occurred and police motives have been put into question. Whether the incident is based on hate, race, or how unbalanced the officer is, there is a way to put this big problem to justice; body cameras. Body cameras will shed a little light on an issue because we will be able to see the truth and know both sides of each story.
The notion that the cell phone may one day become obsolete may never become reality. The concept of personal computing and communication (which is essentially what the smartphone is today) can never be defunct. Humans are built to connect with one another and we see instances of this throughout our lifetime. We are born into families, biological or not. We go to church to gather with our congregation. We’re sent to school to learn with other children our age. To eventually work with like-minded people, meet our spouses and have a family of our own. Our phones revolutionized even more with the bang of social media. The proliferation of social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram just to name a few, forever changed the dynamic of our social interactions. Through Instagram I can lie on the beaches of Cap Ferrat in the French Riviera with my cousin who visits there every year or I can open my Vine app and swim with tropical fishes in the Bahamas with my best friend Chelsi who loves the beach. In addition, cell phones enable us to interact with people we wouldn’t normally encounter. This not only permits us to learn from one other and the world around us, but we can help in times of need. In fact, during Hurricane Sandy our cell phones played an important role. In 2012 someone had the idea to create a Facebook page that bridged the gap between victims and good Samaritans
The invasion of an individual’s privacy through body cameras has become the highlight of new and inventive techniques within the field of policing. People have come to the circumstance that everything they do or say within feet away from an officer may cause great consequences. This sense of paranoia has established the concept of personal video surveillance taken by police officers when in contact with citizens. The evolution of policing has grasped the attention of many. It has created some positive and negative perceptions into the dimension that divides policing and the society.
...an take better photographs, even while daily activities. Now when people go on walks, they can bring their camera and take pictures of the beauty around them. The deer with her fawns eating the meadow grass, a bench in a park, or a picture of the orange, luminous sunset. The beauty is all around, people just have to go out and snap the picture.
Smart phones consisted with a build in camera allowing users to take photos whenever they would in a split second with no hassle, blur or grain involved. The photography world we live in today has evolved into something more soul based and artistic in a way. People can walk around in an area and finding a leaf or a tree, and turn it into something that can be considered an art form. People can take photos of anything with a more variety of different types of cameras and lens and -unlike in the days when it was invented- can carry them around whenever and wherever. People see more in an artistic way than what other people in the 1800s did, no one was taking photos of trees, random objects or food in the way we do now. So in today's age of photography, we have access to multiple variety of software, apps and techniques that was not impossible back then. We are able to create and manipulate photos or images to either edit and alter a photo that one has taken to change the lighting, focus, quality and create a better looking and improved photo and create art which some don't even need to do. And some are to play tricks on peoples mind, leading them to believe it's true. When in reality, we don't know that what we're seeing is true, the media can sometimes revoke people in to believing that what they see can be true. Not to sound too dramatic but at this modern day people want to see what they want to see which leads away from what is actually the truth. Annie Leibovitz (1949-) was focused on her studying and eye for painting, but when she taken a trip to Japan that when then when she discovered her interest and eye was in taking photographs. When she was in school, she claimed to not have learnt about lighting and colour, but only in black and white leading to her teaching lighting and colour to herself throughout her years as a photographer. She then lead
