Here's a beginners guide to turning some of your games into much better looking photos using only a phone camera (Note 8 in this case - not a bad camera for an older phone - even old phones than this can take amazing photos!)
No SLRs (aside from the one shooting video whilst using the phone to take images), no lens changes, no fstops, just point and shoot on the camera's auto settings. Heresy to photography die hards - but this is a beginners look at snapping pics!
From using simple desk lamps and lighting, different camera angles, simple cheats or what the cool kids call hacks to getting the best out of your photos with a camera phone.
The whole point of this video is for us to share our ideas and tricks with each other - we help each other all the time in the community so least I could do is share a few basic tips to make those awful shelfie photos a thing of the past.
Please note, no Retro B8's were harmed too badly in this video.
Please leave your tips and tricks in the comments so we can all share!
