Mobile Photography Tips

Every one want to take a best photo with mobile camera but it takes a more skilled photographer to create a truly great image.The phone that you are carrying in your pocket can capture those impromptu photo moments when it's impractical or impossible to have your SLR or other camera with you at all times..Now a day it become a trend to take a selfie from mobile camera so in thins article  i tell you some most beneficial tips for mobile photography.

  • The best place to take photographs is outside on a sunny day; the better lit your subject is the clearer your image is likely to be. If you’re shooting inside, be sure to turn on the lights or even project a flash light onto your subject. However, the only problem with using artificial light is that it impacts the color cast in your shots, so you may have to alter your white balance to fix it.If you go Street Photography, try to shoot when the sun has the softest light in the morning or at dawn.

  • The most important thing to look out for when taking a photo is to make sure that your subject is in sharp focus. 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.




  • The right apps can help you overcome the limitations of your device.Camera+ and Camera Awesome, both for Apple iOS only,  have grid tools, levels, image editing and great controls for exposure and focus. They give you robust filters and interfaces for quickly uploading and sharing your images to social media sites.

  • Avoid direct sunlight. Your subjects will be cooler, happier, and more attractively lit if they don’t have a sunbeam hitting them in the face. If it’s an overcast day, you’re in luck. This is one of the best outdoor lighting situations for photographing people. If it’s a sunny day, have your subjects stand in the brightest patch of shade you can find.

  • When getting close, you can also usually have more control over the lighting of your subject. Are bright patches in the background of your composition throwing off the camera's meter and making your subject dark? Get closer and block it out all together. Small detail shots can be quite effective if done right.

  • Choose the highest quality setting available so you lose less detail and don’t get a muddy photo. If you have to choose between resolution and a quality setting to save space—and it’s unlikely you’ll make prints—reduce the resolution

  • The iPhone has a zoom function which you can access by pinching or stretching two fingers on the screen. This brings up a zoom slider which you can slide with your finger to zoom in and get a closer view of your subject.Unfortunately this is a digital zoom and not an optical zoom. In essence what happens with a digital zoom is that the image is cropped as you zoom in. This results in a noticeable loss in image quality the more you zoom in.If you want to take a photo of a far away subject, don’t use the zoom. Walk closer instead and use the camera as normal without any zoom. You’ll end up with a far better quality shot.

  • Keeping a steady hand is vital to capturing a clear image. It is especially important if you are shooting in low-light situations. One useful trick is to lean your camera phone against a solid object, then quickly tap the capture button and step away.

  • Sometimes things happen quickly and you need to react instantly to get the shot — without getting quite enough time to compose. So shoot wider than you need and crop. The resolution of phone cameras gets higher and higher with each generation. There are a lot of pixels, so focus on getting the shot using a full-frame app like Camera+, then edit later.When you have the time for careful composition, the right crop can change or enhance the context of an image.
