In diesem Workshop wird das Smartphone nicht als Telefon, sondern als spiegellose Kamera mit festem Objektiv verstanden. Der Fokus liegt zunächst darauf, Licht und Komposition »zu sehen«, gefolgt von einem tiefen Einstieg in das »digitale Dunkelzimmer« mithilfe professioneller (aber kostenloser) Apps.
Ziel ist es, den Teilnehmenden zu ermöglichen, die Kamera ihres Smartphones und kostenlose Bearbeitungs-Apps sicher zu nutzen, um hochwertige Bilder zu erstellen und fotografische Prinzipien auf professionellem Niveau anzuwenden.
Die Teilnehmenden lernen die technischen Stärken und Grenzen mobiler Sensoren kennen. Wir beschäftigen uns mit den nativen Kameraeinstellungen (Belichtungssperre, HDR, Raster, Serienaufnahmen), Kompositionstechniken speziell für Weitwinkelobjektive von Smartphones und nicht-destruktiven Bearbeitungsworkflows mit der kostenlosen App Snapseed.
