Most of us carry a camera with us every day, yet very few of us use it to its full potential.

In this practical and entertaining presentation, award-winning wildlife photographer Glenn Smith will demonstrate how to take better photographs using the camera that's already in your pocket. Beginning with simple composition techniques that apply to every camera, Glenn will then explore the features built into most mobile phones and show how a few small changes in the way you take photographs can produce dramatically better results.

The presentation includes stories from Glenn's recent photography workshop in the Kimberley, where photographers using professional camera equipment competed alongside participants using mobile phones. Despite the expensive equipment on board, it was a photograph taken on a mobile phone that won the competition—a reminder that great photography is far more about the photographer than the camera.

Whether you simply want to take better family photos, improve your travel photography or capture the beauty of your own garden, you'll leave this presentation with practical techniques you can start using immediately.
