Top10 Tips and Tricks to take Better Photos with your Phone

Taking photos with your mobile phone has always been challenging, but taking great images that stand out can be challenging. Here are some tips to help you take better photos with your mobile device.

Pay attention to lighting:
Good lighting can make all the difference in a photo. Avoid taking pictures in direct sunlight or under bright lights, as this can cause harsh shadows and make your subject look washed out. Instead, look for soft, natural light, such as that from a window or overcast sky.

Use the grid lines:
Most mobile cameras have a grid display that helps you align your shots and follow the rule of thirds. This means dividing the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically and placing your subject along the intersections of the lines.
Stand Still, Hold Steady:
Smartphones are incredibly lightweight devices and, folding phones aside, are thin for a better fit in your pocket than most dedicated cameras. That’s good news for portability, but it’s hard to hold a featherweight phone steady, and it takes some care to keep its lens plum and parallel to your subject. You’ll also want to be careful to keep your finger out of the shot, especially when using your phone’s wide-angle lens.For better snapshots, take some time to set yourself up before a shot. Stand steady, hold your phone like a camera (with both hands), and take advantage of any physical controls for exposure—if you can use a volume button to take a photo, you can more easily hold your phone with two hands when making an image.
Try an Add-On Lens:
The camera stacks on smartphones are quite complicated. Some phones feature a single lens on the rear however mid-range and top-end phones usually include a telephoto or wide-angle lens to complement.It’s possible to purchase a premium accessory lens. We’ve tested many of these over time and have discovered the lenses from Moment as the top out of the bunch. It’s more expensive than an affordable alternative however you’ll notice the difference in performance.

Selecting the right type of add-on lens is also crucial. A macro lens provides the greatest flexibility to your smartphone’s camera. You may still prefer an ultra-wide, fish-eye lens for conversion. Video enthusiasts should take a look at Moment’s range of anamorphic (Opens in an entirely new window) conversion lenses. These offer a wider aspect ratio and make J.J. Abrams-style lens flares.

Get a Gimbal:
There’s more to it than just images. The majority of compact cameras run at 1080p. However, when you own a new flagship smartphone, there’s an ultra-high-definition video camera that can be put inside your bag. The top models come with optical image stabilization, but it is only a little bit of what you can expect. If you’re looking to create a beautiful, smooth video, you should consider a gimbal with a motorized mechanism to help keep your phone stable. Our top pick is of the DJI Osmo Mobile 6, which costs $160 and stabilizes videos, tracks the movement of subjects, and also supports stitching time-lapse as well as panoramic.
Explore different angles instead of the typical eye-level shot take photos using different angles, like high or low shots to give more interest to your pictures.
Zoom with your feet In lieu of using the zoom function on your smartphone, consider moving closer to the subject. This will not only allow you to take better photos and detail, but it will also give you an impression of more intimacy when you take photos.
Edit your photos:
There are many great editing apps available that allow you to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation, as well as apply filters and effects. Experiment with different editing tools to see what works best for your photos.
Use the volume button:
Many mobile phones have a button that can be used as a shutter button. This makes it easier to take photos one-handed, and it also helps you take sharper photos by allowing you to take the shot with a steady hand.
Pay attention to composition:
Like traditional photography, composition is vital to taking great photos with your mobile device. Think about what you want to include in the frame, and try to simplify the background by removing any distracting elements.
