We all think we are good photographers and we are often confident to say that we take great pictures. And the truth is that professional photographers are losing more and more ground to amateur photographers due to the technological advances in the photographic cameras of smartphones.
Nowadays, anyone takes pictures of their trips, birthdays of a friend or family member or even other important events with their mobile telephone. Is that not true? Isn’t it the same with you? Certainly so, because we believe it is something we want to immortalize — after all, that is the goal of photography.
To help you with this mission, we’ve put together 10 spectacular tips that will help you take better pictures with your mobile phone. Find out what they are next:
1. Keep Your Phone Steady to Prevent Camera Shake
If there is one thing that spoils a photo, it is when the phone is not well-positioned when capturing the image – even if you have the best mobile phone on the market. If it is not correctly secured and stable, the photo will be blurred.
For this to not happen, it is necessary to hold the phone firmly and have good support for the body. Many cell phone companies offer equipment with the option to correct the sharpness of the photo to overcome this problem. However, you should always be aware that this may be insufficient for your photo to have good quality.
2. Show Some Action in Your Photos
Once you know how to hold your smartphone to stop taking blurry pictures like a child normally does, it’s time to work on the composition of the photo. How to make good pictures? A good starting point is to take a photo that shows some action (that is why photographs of workers performing their duties are so appreciated).
To achieve this, set the shutter speed:
• If you want to show something in motion, slow down the shutter.
• If you want to have a clear view of your subject in a given action, increase the shutter speed.
