- 7. Mobile photography? Starting out? • Master these techniques before anything else.
- 8. 1. Light Your Subject Well • Better the light better the image. • ‘LUX’ increases clarity in your subject. • If possible shoot outside or turn on lights when shooting inside. • Click ‘Auto focus’ cursor on any ‘Darker’ image part, this increases your Lux digitally. Which ones better?
- 9. 2.Keep Your Subject clear • Camera phone images tend to be small due to low resolution (although varies). • So fill up your view finder with your subject to save having to zoom in on the subject in editing it later. • It decreases quality even more but subject is clearer and meaningful.
- 10. 3. Keep Still • The more steady your camera phone- clearer your image will be. • Especially important in low light situations where the camera will select longer shutter speeds to compensate for the lack of light. • One trick is to lean your camera phone(or the hand holding it) against a solid object (like a tree, wall, ledge) when taking shots. • Keep in mind that many camera phones also suffer from ‘shutter lag’.
- 11. 4. Set The Focus • Most important thing to look out for when taking a photo is to make sure that your subject is in sharp focus. • To set the focus on the Phone camera you simply tap the screen where your subject is in the frame. • A small square/sphere will appear to confirm the focus point. • If your subject is moving around, make sure you tap the screen just before you take the shot to ensure that they are in focus.
- 12. 5.CLICK IT • Never miss that moment which you want as an image! • Click it! • Don’t worry if image is blur, you can edit them later. • Don’t worry if images are blur or low in contrast, you can edit them later. • Save it. That’s it. you got it !
- 13. 6. Edit Images Later • Its fun to use your camera phone’s inbuilt editing and effects. • Editing pictures later on your computer produces much better quality images. • Take your shots in color at high resolution to keep your options open on how to treat it later. • You can always make it black and white on your computer, but you can’t make it color if you take it in Black and White mode.
- 14. 7.Avoid Using the Digital Zoom • If the zoom is a ‘digital zoom’ it will decrease the quality of your shot to use it (you’ll end up with a more pixilated shot).. • You can always edit your shot later using photo editing software on your computer. • If zoom is ‘Optical zoom’ then its okay to use when neccesary.
- 15. 8.TIMING IS ALL THAT MATTERS • Perfect picture means perfect timing. • That moment you captured can only be re-lived with that ‘one’ picture. • Press and hold the capture button (for burst shots). • Select the perfect image later.
