How to use mobile phone take beautiful photos

As a lovers always have strong interest on photos, I once has been a staunch supporter of professional equipment, also believes only SLR is the truth, until a few years ago in the iPhone 4, and then use the numerous photography App, shaken my idea, I found the pictures of the mobile phone will replace the card camera became known as a first choice, not only because of the mobile phones we carry every day, but because of the mobile phone cameras in technology rapid progress in recent years, it is no longer the era of 5 million pixels can match, even if you don't have more advanced photography, can also shoot the photos of the surprise, which is the enchantment of the mobile phones. So, how should phone photography introduction? Let us speak of from the shooting interface of the phone itself.

1.Getting started

"Getting started" here refers to such as cell phone cameras. Don't laugh! For mobile phones, the direct way to open the camera is directly click on the "camera" icon in the desktop began to cell phone camera, this is true. However, if your phone is in black screen dormancy or lock screen mode, how to quickly open the camera to shoot?

Many mobile phones are now under the lock screen interface set up quickly into a shortcut to the camera mode. Quickly open the phone function is more suitable for capture. To shoot, after all, a lot of moment are fleeting, so can quickly issue a cell phone camera quickly photograph apparently more important. Fast mode is very convenient, but also has a congenital deficiency of faults, which means you can preview and review after the shortcut into the camera photographs, to do this is to prevent others through camera shortcut mode access mobile phone content, It is the protection of privacy measures, if see more pictures, or need to unlock the phone to check.

2, try different shooting mode

With mobile phone camera pixels, shooting function also gradually improve, so before taking photos in the use of mobile phones, understand the interface function, try different shooting mode, find oneself to like shooting mode which is also very important.

Using many Android mobile phone brand, so the filming interface also do to native Android camera system increase greatly. Such as many mobile phones are included in the professional shooting mode, you can manually control focus, ISO, exposure compensation, shutter speed, white balance, etc., these functions are to the professional function of the camera, control also more professional, for master of photography, can completely meet the demand. For ordinary users, many android phones in the shooting mode, contains most of the scenes at ordinary times, such as portrait, style, night view, and other sports, reasonable use can also shoot the mobile phone of the beautiful photography.

3, clean lens

Are you met photographed using a mobile phone is always not clear, looked at the picture quality is very poor, or to carry light shooting is foggy, it is because you on the phone's camera which caused the fingerprints, grease or other dirt. So, before taking photos in the use of mobile phones, you can use a soft cloth to clear lens surface to wipe, clean the lens to shoot, so that cell phone photos to get the best quality.

4, choose to focus and exposure control

To focus camera photo, photo should focus more on cell phones. See those words, do you think I am joking, photo how can not know focus! I want to say is, I really know a lot of people, don't know mobile phones need to focus. By default, the cell phone when at the center of the screen is the most focus on and metering points, so if you want to focus on the subject is the need for manual control. Camera phones were photographed focus of control is very simple, click on the screen, can complete the focusing action.

It is important to note that the mobile phone to focus and metering points for linkage commonly, the mobile phone to focus only metering point at the same time, this creates a sometimes focus on objects, and color with deeper colour of mobile metering algorithm considers the photographer in a dark environment, so it will be brighter for photograph as a whole, cause photo image; And chooses to focus more on location, such as white will cause the picture overall owe explosion. This is mobile phones can't avoid a problem, it is why there will be a third party photography App or some vendors at the phone function joined focus and exposure, the purpose is to avoid the above situation of the image and owe explosion. So, I use the phone without focus and metering separation function cannot be produced in special light exposure accurate pictures? Of course not. Now will have a built-in mobile phone exposure compensation function, such as apple's iPhone can slide when focus focus box next to "vertical lines", to control the exposure compensation. While android mobile phones with built-in exposure compensation control way, similar to that of the camera can be the most straightforward way of "white and black to reduce use of exposure compensation, directly to obtain the accurate exposure.

5, do not use digital zoom

I often see people use their phones to take photos in the street, in order to put the closing scene, directly using the digital zoom. When I saw when using digital zoom, I will know that this picture is finished. Mobile phone camera zoom is a digital zoom, has essentially the difference between with optical zoom. Digital zoom is usually enlarge a location in the photo, and then cut off the useless pixels in the photo. So the digital zoom pictures amplification 100% view, detail loss is very serious, the overall quality is very poor, are caused by digital zoom magnification. Cell phone camera is fixed focus, focus generally in 25 mm to 30 mm between (35 mm), so use mobile phones or to follow fixed focus shoot tips, namely "zoom to go", by "manually" changing the focal length of work.

6, maintain stability of the mobile phone

Maintain stability of the mobile phone is very important, especially at night or dark light environment, more to maintain the stability of cell phone. Because when shooting at night or dark environment, mobile phone will be in order to obtain the normal exposure, will automatically reduce the fast speed, so it is must maintain the stability of cell phones, slight jitter will serious impact on the result of the final shot (unless you have a pair of iron hand). Now a lot of mobile phone lens have image stabilization function, can effectively is less impact on image caused by the shaking, but it cannot fully guarantee at night or dark to take appearance can completely eliminate jitter. So if conditions allow can use small mobile phones the tripod is fixed, but when shooting set mobile timer, such as 3 seconds or 5 seconds countdown, which can avoid shaking the effects on the picture.

7, from the perspective of others can't see to film

Different Angle can often bring pictures to unexpected results. Most beginners photography friend, to the subject in your photo, often ignore the perspective and point of view, this often makes photographs lack of visual effect, is too flat. So, get into the habit of observation, to find a different perspective to complete filming, for example through before and after field of view foil, through the change of the high and low Angle, etc., let oneself more powerful photographs on the vision, but also make photos more dynamic and vibrant.

9, background should pay attention to details

When you take a photo in the use of mobile phones at ordinary times, will face more complex scenarios, especially mobile phone camera is mostly wide Angle lens, so it is difficult to eliminate clutter by background along with the effects of background on the subject. When meeting complicated background, such as a sharp color piece of scenes, tend to cry my house from the main, so at this time will be treated as photos into black and white tonal, can highlight the subject already so, also won't because these color pictures for the overall impact. At some point during filming, clutter will not only damage the picture aesthetic feeling, will have a big impact, make a photograph was the perfect is not perfect. So when shooting, should not only pay attention to your subject, seize the moment of the subject, but also pay attention to the background, don't destroy the balance of the images and the aesthetic feeling.

10, more pictures taken

More pictures taken at a time, this is not a secret. Most of the time, a scene can try different Angle to shoot, get the best photos. Or the same scenario can also be more pictures taken, to prevent the occurrence of jitter impact problems such as pictures, because leave regret. Taken more useful, more photos also provides more space for later choose pictures, so do not spare the shutter of the phone.

11, appropriate post-processing photo

Cell phone photos, post processing is necessary. The App can help you quickly and easy to complete the post-processing of images. Remember, post-processing photo moderation, don't deal with, excessive post-processing, may not have twice the result with half the effort, would the pictures have a significant impact, but let the photos become dirty, affect the image visual effect. In addition, the HDR light shadow can effectively preserve the details of, but when using HDR must be moderate, excessive HDR can influence the details of the photo, instead of the photo quality of irreversible effects. Here, this article for a camera phone guidelines will also come to an end. Mobile phones, lies in the heart, moved to everyone, fix a moment, everyone can take out enough to amazing phone photography.
