Tips on how to take great photos with your phone on the go
Some tips to take great photos
- Wait for the right moment
- Always photograph at the highest quality (“Selfie” mode is usually the lowest quality option)
- Shoot in the brightest conditions possible
- Think about light, shadow and shapes in the image
- Focus on objects closer to the camera and allow the background to blur
- Lower angles make people/animals look statuesque and grand
- When shooting panoramic shots, do this in portrait angle using the “pano” function, start from the lightest point to the darkest [TAS tip: turn the phone upside down if it does not allow you to change direction]
- Avoid “pinching” (zoom), as the quality is usually not that great [TAS tip: rather crop the image afterwards]
- Mobile devices now support lens attachments, which enhance photos. When purchasing attachments, check for best quality. Glass is preferred
- Always try to show a unique view
