These tricks can help you take better photos using your phone! They’re easy to implement. Discover them today.
1. Background Blur & Soft Focus
This technique requires nothing more than your smartphone (or DSLR) camera. You simply need to place the subject closer to the background and then take the photo. The effect works best if your subject is near a wall or a plain backdrop. If possible, use a tripod to steady yourself and make sure the camera is not shaking at all or blurry.
2. Depth of Field
Depth of field refers to how much of the image is sharp. In order to achieve great depth of field, move closer to your subject. If you want to capture an object at a distance, zoom out to focus on the subject and bring the background closer. This method works well for portraits.
3. HDR
HDR stands for high dynamic range. To create this effect, take three different pictures of the same scene with varying exposure times. Using Photoshop, combine them together. This will give you a single photo with no overexposed parts and underexposed parts.
4. Slow Motion
Slow motion videos allow you to freeze action shots. By using a video editing software, you can slow down time. When the frame rate drops below 24 frames per second, it’ll look like the picture was frozen. You get the chance to catch some amazing moments!
5. Fisheye Lens
Fisheye lens creates a distorted perspective. A fisheye lens is mainly used for landscape photography with its unique perspective. Use a wide-angle focal length for objects that are close. For landscapes, use a telephoto focal length.
6. Hyperfocal Distance
Hyperfocal distance is a standard term for photographers who love to capture distant landscapes. Hyperfocal means beyond the hyperfocal point. To know where this point is, set the camera to manual mode, focus on infinity, and check the focus indicator. Now aim the camera at your subject and take a shot.
7. Low Light Photography
Low light photography helps you to shoot in low-light conditions at night. You can use a flash gun or attach a flashlight to your phone camera to help illuminate dark scenes.
8. Exposure
Exposure is the amount of time that a camera's sensor receives light. A photo has three parts: exposure, focus, and white balance. Usually, the longer the exposure, the brighter the image will appear. However, the darker the area being exposed, the less detail will show up. When taking pictures indoors, use the lowest possible shutter speed.
9. Camera Movement
When using the flash feature, make sure that you do not hold the phone still. Move the phone around whenever you take a picture. This will create motion blur. If you do not move your phone, then the flash will overexpose the entire frame and turn it completely black. Also, try to avoid placing objects directly behind the subject. If something is blocking the light, it will cause shadows and dark spots.
10. White Balance
White balance refers to how well the colors of a picture match what they really are. To achieve this, change the white balance setting on your smartphone. Go to settings, and select the photo app. Click on the first option, which will be displayed below your picture. Then, click the little arrow icon and scroll until you find the white balance option. You can also go straight to the individual apps' options and adjust them individually.
