Top Tips for Taking Great Photos on Your Phone

Whatever your reasons for taking a picture are though, one thing that remains certain, is that you need to take the best picture possible. This article offers some great tips to help you take the perfect photos on your mobile phone.

Check the Lighting

First of all it is all about the lighting, if the lighting is poor, you can forget about having a great image. Check if your flash is on, and check the light settings. This is a fantastic way to make sure that you can snap the perfect photo. Great lighting, equals great photos and that means that your images will look great no matter what.

Choose Your Background Wisely

Make sure that you're standing in a position that has a great background. Don't settle for clutter in the background, or people that are walking past as you take your photo. If you're trying to snap a photo of the scenery around you, then wait for the perfect moment. One of the great skills that a photographer needs is patience.

Practice Makes Perfect

Take more than one picture and choose the one you like best. If you want to snap a good photo, you should aim to take the same image more than once, at least three times. That way you will be able to flick through your snaps and choose the best one afterwards. Practicing with your camera and capturing the same images more than once will most definitely result in you being able to get more picture perfect snaps.

If it's A Selfie Look Happy!

If you are capturing a selfie moment, then make sure that you smile and look happy. No one wants to see a picture of you looking moody and glum.

Make Sure That Your Lens Is Clean

As silly as it sounds, many camera phone owners attempt to take the perfect picture, but forget to clean the lens! Just make sure that you make a point of routinely wiping your camera phone lens. It should be done at least weekly, and always checked if you feel that your photos are looking a bit worse for wear.

Turn Off All Effects

Effects are a great feature on your mobile phone, but make sure that you turn them all off when taking pictures. Perfection does not come with effects when you are snapping the image; make sure that frames, effects like black and white are all switched off. You will do a lot better by using a photo editing tool after your pictures have been taken.

So, there you have it, some great tips to help you on your way to capturing the perfect photos.

Taking photos is a wonderful hobby to have. If you have an interest in photography, then why not try using an online photo editing tool to better your images, helping to make them look even more professional.

What Makes Some Photographs Better Than Others?

Art is so subjective that there is no correct answer to this question. But there are some things that can help you analyse a photograph. I find it interesting that the majority of people can tell the difference between an average and a great photo and choose the 'better' one, but struggle to articulate why. Here are some of those harder to explain things that might draw them towards the 'better' picture (I'm sure there's many more things I've missed, we never stop learning): Lines - are the strongest design element in a picture. Without lines you can have shapes, patterns or textures, they are everywhere! The strongest of these lead your eye through the different elements in photographs. Shape, pattern & contrast - The shapes of your subject and background elements, and how these interact will tell your story. Our brains are pre-programmed to look for these things. One of your main challenges as a photographer is to demonstrate a 3D world o
