Smartphones have become the go-to device for photography, for millions of users worldwide. As per a report by Photutorial, 1.2 trillion pictures were taken worldwide in 2021. The number is expected to reach 1.72 trillion in 2022 and over 2 trillion by 2025. Interestingly, 92.5% of photos are taken with smartphones. Today, phone cameras come with so many features, that all we need to do is point it at the subject and press the button.
On World Photography Day, here are some tips and tricks to hone our photography skills to get the best out of your smartphone camera:
Get to know your smartphone camera
The first step is to acquaint yourself with your smartphone camera. Pay attention to features such as focus and exposure. Click pictures using different settings and scrutinize the difference. Today many phones are capable of shooting even 8K video, while 4K or UHD has become pretty common. Higher resolution means more pixels in your video, so better detail and sharpness. You should use super-fast microSD cards. SanDisk Extreme and Kingston microSDXC Canvas React Plus are some options that you can consider.
Also, the best way to get to know your phone camera is to click a lot of pictures. The more pictures you click using different settings the better you get at using the one that works the best in different lights and situations. Don’t restrict yourself to one setting, explore all of them.
Explore Natural lights
Try and click outdoors in natural lights. You will find the pictures clicked outdoor are vastly different and richer than the ones clicked indoors. The important point to notice is that the lighting doesn’t only define the brightness and the exposure of your pictures, but it also defines the tone and the mood of the photo. Also, if possible, make sure that your subjects should be well-lit from the front and not silhouetted by a strong light from behind. Read More…
