Mobile photography?Starting out?
• Master these techniques before anything else.
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?
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.
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’.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
Tips & Tricks
Tips on
1.Clean The Lens• Your Phone spends a lot of time in your pocket bag or in your
hand.• Results- it will get dirty.• Dirt, dust & fingerprints on lens effect quality of photos.• There’s no point trying to take great photos if the glass of the
lens is dirty.
2.Use external LED flashlight
For better lighting with little investment.
3.Smartphone Lens• Yes, you can get a lens for your SmartPhone. • They vary from small a small clip on to a long lens.• Prefer one that clips on so it stays in place.
• lenses Includes;• Macro lens - Close-ups• Fisheye lens - gives a rounded look• Wide-Angle Lens - captures a wider angle photo.
4.Smartphone Tripod• Tripod isn't a necessity for all photos, but if you are taking
shots at night or of fast moving objects, the tripod can help you steady the smartphone.
• Shaky photos are a problem with smartphone photos.• Be sure you hold the phone very still while taking the photo
and for a few seconds after.
5.Selfie Stick• This list of tools would not be complete without the selfie
stick.• While it helps with group selfies or selfies with scenery
behind you, you can also use it for the rear camera. • Turn the camera around in the clamp and shorten the stick.• This works well for taking movies while walking.
6.Bluetooth Remote• The Bluetooth remote works well with the tripod or selfie
stick. • If you want to take group photos with you in it. • The remote connects to your Smartphone via Bluetooth.• Then the phone can be a few feet away and you can snap a
photo. • This can help with the shaky photos too because you don't
need to touch the phone at all.
