Thanks to the technology age we live in, it’s easier than ever to take really high quality photos. This is especially true when it comes to using your phone, too! While you can get a really wonderful picture by just opening your phone’s camera feature and clicking the button, there are a number of ways to make those photos really pop and worthy of sharing with the world.
Know Your Phone
The most popular phones when it comes to taking great pictures are iPhones and Samsungs. Whatever phone you have, take some time to research and play around with its built-in camera app. What features does it offer? Can you use force focus to make sure your subject looks sharp? Do you lose picture quality when you zoom in versus if you just move yourself closer to your subject? Your phone probably also lets you set the exposure so you have more control over the lighting of the image. To avoid blurry shots, look for your phone’s image stabilization functions, and if your subject is moving fast (you know, like a kid on the run!), then try using “burst mode.”
In the end, the important thing is that you play around and know what your phone can and can’t do. Have fun playing!
