Best  tips to get good quality smartphone photos

The smartphone is the most common form of the camera used today, and it is easy to see why: they are compact, most people always have one with them, and many people can take opponent standalone points and shoot cameras.

To help you take the best photos with your phone, we have Nine simple tips that we use every day. With this knowledge, you will be able to prepare some horrible shots from a considerable amount of time despite continuous improvement of the camera platform.

Adjust focus and exposure

Smartphone cameras have come a long way in time, and most of the handsets now give you some control over the focus and exposure of your shot. If manual focus is available, then it is usually activated with a tap on the screen, at the point where you want to focus the camera.

Also, check in settings for your phone's camera app. If you get the face recognition option, it will automatically turn to zero on the face, so you can help avoid shots where your friend's face is blurry.

Then there is exposure, or how much light is allowed in the frame. In the Default iPhone Camera app (shown above), you can tap to focus once, then hold and drag to adjust the exposure. This is a similar story in the Camera app for Stock Android: Tap once for the focus, then you can adjust the exposure through the slider that pops up on the edge of the screen or at the top.

Know Your Auto Mode

Knowing that automatic shooting mode for your smartphone camera work can help you take good pictures. Take the time to learn when it uses high ISO, when it uses long shutter speed and adjusts how you take photos accordingly. It specifically helps to know when auto mode conflicts happen, because you can then decide to override the appropriate settings.

Use HDR mode

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is now a key feature for smartphone camera applications. Simply put, this expands from the darkest and lightest parts of your picture and makes a better balance of colors overall. The negativity is that, in HDR mode, photos take a while to process, while your smartphone does all this work.

This is especially suitable for landscape and picture shots, especially when there is a wide range between the darkest and lightest parts of your photo. Since it takes a few milliseconds to take a snap, you should use it when it comes to fast moving topics or when you can not keep your phone steady.

Whatever your make and phone model is, you should see "HDR mode" at a prominent place anywhere on the screen. There is also the possibility that you can set it to kick it on automatically (like Android, above stock), which means that the HDR mode will be activated whenever the camera feels this. You can also manually turn the HDR mode on and off.

Use Good Posture

An important way to reduce the haze is to know how to hold a smartphone camera in a steady way. Holding your hands outside or away from your body can do more during photography. Carrying your elbows on the edges of your body where there may be necessary stability, where essentially the smartphone can relax on the stationary object.

If you want the right stability, it is possible to get a tripod attachment so that you can slot your smartphone. You will probably see some tripods about using a tripod with your phone and with your phone, but we have seen and achieved some fantastic shots with a tripod in hand. Tripods are especially useful if your smartphone does not include blur-reducing optical image stabilization (OIS) in the camera, or if there is a manual mode that supports exposure photography for long periods of time.

Use natural light where possible

Lite is one of the most important factors in any photo. If you can use available natural light, you will have to resort to the built-in flash of your phone (which can give you at least ideal results, especially at a distance).

If you can, give your subjects the status so that they burn well from the front and there is no silhouette from a strong light from the rear. Of course, it is not always possible for quick shots, but do whatever you can.

Using artificial lighting can also work, however you need to take extra care. In one night's view, for example, to stand close to the shadows of your friends in the shadows of artificial light, and make sure their faces are as light as possible. Using Flash can be helpful, but if you have the time, try a shot with flash and without seeing a difference.

Edit

The last part of the puzzle which often prevents the captured picture with a smartphone from actually seeing it is a post-processing step. All details and necessary information have been captured, but it can not be as alive as you were later, or in the form of sharp, or beautiful.

It's easy to fix: Chuck the photo in an editing program like a lighter on your computer, or even use an app on the device and start playing around. After transferring some sliders and keeping some boxes, the results can surprise you and your friends.

Install a third-party camera app

If you have never gone beyond your phone's default camera app, you might be surprised how many third-party options there are. They give you access to additional settings, different features and bundles of filters to see your mobile photos the best.

For example, take a manual for iOS, which lets you control shutter speed, ISO, white balance and more. AfterLight for iOS and Android gives you access to the same sets of Pro Pro Tools with a group of impressive filters.

Speaking of filters, Instagram is not just a social network for iOS and Android (above). It can change your small photographs with two taps in the works of art. This app now includes many edits and tweaking tools in addition to filters, making it one of the best photo-taking apps.

Know When to Use Portrait Mode

The final tip is related to portrait mode, which has become more common in the last year. Portrait mode attempts to simulate a wide background haze, or 'Bokey', which is available with DSLR cameras with wide aperture lenses. In many cases, it is achieved through an additional sensor which provides in-depth information, though phones like Google Pixel 2 can emulate Bokeh without smart edge detection and without additional hardware.

Since portrait mode is the regional simulation of shallow depth rather than real deal, so they have problems associated with them. Edge detection is not always right, so many times when you capture a photo and the areas are blurred that should not be. For the second time, the mist does not look natural, or a realistic lens looks closer to Gaussian mist than the mist. The key to capturing good photos using portrait mode is knowing that when the portrait mode is likely to succeed, and when it will struggle.
