10 Tips For MOBILE photography

When the term "mobile photography" comes to mind, the very next thought is related to this is enormous clicking of photographs. This idea comes into our mind as mobile is the device which carried almost everywhere we go. Clicking more means more probability of getting a better photograph every time. Still there are some basic rules that have to be followed every time we click a photograph.

Ten Basic rules go like this:

• Holding the camera straight as these matters a lot, clicking a photograph tilted looks horrible especially when it is a landscape.
• Choosing the correct “SHOOT MODE” is important to get the ultimate touch of the photograph.
• Adjust the white balance in the camera as without it the brightness might be too much for the photograph that has been clicked.
  
  
  
• Change the “EFFECTS” if you are planning to make some experiments with your photography.
• Now time to focus at the subject, make sure the subject is visible clearly and not getting covered by something or something else is getting focused instead of the main subject.
  
• After all these it is the time for the main job of clicking the photograph and that is not to shake the mobile at all and if possible to take support.
• Then take a look at the picture, if satisfied with the picture then time to move on for the next photograph.
• Finally time to edit the photo, no to worry at all if you don’t know to use Abode Photoshop then use PICASA3 as it is very much user friendly and satisfies almost all the requirements.
• Photos taken in mobile phone (2 megapixel) are good enough to take 4"X6" prints.
• These are enough for an amateur.

Basic Photography

Photography is way of expressing the brilliant ideas hidden inside of imagining a thing which generally cannot be thought by others. As it looks photography is not easy. In this digital world any one can compete with a professional photographer due to the availability of the DIGITAL SINGLE-LENS REFLEX camera (digital SLR or DSLR) cameras, these are the cameras which gives almost equal quality photography as that of those SLR camera. Present day DSLR cameras give up to 26X optical zoom, which is more than enough for those who wants to get superb photographs.

The trend of buying a higher mega-pixel camera is very high but at the same time what we need to know is 2 mega pixel camera is enough for a 4 X 6” print out which gives a 1600 X 1200 resolution print out which is pretty descent for occasional/ part time photographic use. Actually speaking buying a 6 mega-pixel camera is enough for the above said uses. While buying a new camera the attention must be given to the optical zoom and not to digital zoom, the features available in it like the ISO or the image stability or the battery life or the available memory space including expandable memory. Finally last but not the least is the reaction time that is the time taken by the camera to get ready once a photo has been clicked.

Once ready with the camera, its time to start taking pictures. Some sites get arranged naturally and some has to be created as per requirements. The more we click pictures the more we get familiar with the features associated with the camera.

When taking photograph the following points to be taken care of :

· There shouldn’t be anything behind the subject as that will appear as though it's growing out of their head.

· Holding the camera level - as there's nothing worse than a landscape with a wonky horizon.

· It’s better to take the portrait photographs holding the camera vertically.

· Low light landscapes must be taken with flash off and keeping ISO 800, 1600 and above - useful for taking photos in very low light, or outside in good light when increased shutter speeds are required.

· Keeping the subject at the centre of the photo.

· Carry the camera always as you never know when you can take a picture.

· Take more than one photo (if digital), for keeping an option to choose the best one.

Once when the photos are ready, get started with the editing as it is the most important part of photography. If you don’t know to use Adobe PHOTOSHOP you need not have to worry, you can download PICASA3 in your computer/ laptop and FORGET ABOUT ALL THE ABOVE as it provides all the required changes you want to make once you have taken the photos.

So keep taking photos and keep sharing the same with your friends to get the feed backs from them and in this way your faults (if any) can be rectified.

KEEP CLICKING.
