Dirt, dust, grease and fingerprints on your lens\u00a0will have a big effect on the quality of your photos. There\u2019s no point trying to take great photos if the glass of the lens is dirty. It will block light from entering the camera\u2019s sensor and will leave smudges, blurs or dust spots on your images. A clean lens will ensure\u00a0you get sharp, clear images with your phone.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"h_line\"><\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-2.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The mobile phone has a zoom function which you can access by pinching or stretching two\u00a0fingers on the screen. This brings up a zoom slider which you can slide with\u00a0your finger to zoom in and get a closer view of your subject. Unfortunately this is a digital zoom and not an optical zoom. In essence what happens with a digital zoom is that the image is\u00a0cropped\u00a0as you zoom in. This results in a noticeable loss in image quality the more you zoom in. If you want to take a photo of a far away subject, don\u2019t use the zoom. Walk closer instead and use the camera as normal without any zoom. You\u2019ll end up with a far better quality shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-3.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The most important thing to look out for when taking a photo is to make sure that your subject is in sharp focus. To set the focus on your mobile camera you simply tap the screen where your subject is in the frame. A small square will appear to confirm the focus point. If your subject is moving around, make sure you\u00a0tap the screen just before you take the shot to ensure that they are in focus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When you tap on the subject to focus on them, the camera will also use the focus point to set the\u00a0exposure\u00a0in the shot. Exposure simply refers to how bright or dark the image is. Allowing the camera to set exposure on the focus point\u00a0isn\u2019t always ideal. For example, if the subject is in a dark area of the frame, this could lead to the overall image being over-exposed (too bright) or vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-4.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Getting focus and exposure right is crucial\u00a0in photography, but composition is equally important. Without\u00a0good composition, your photo isn\u2019t likely to be very eye-catching. The\u00a0rule of thirds\u00a0is one of the most useful\u00a0composition techniques\u00a0in photography. It\u2019s an important concept to learn as it can be used in all types of photography to produce images which are more engaging and better balanced. The rule of thirds involves mentally dividing up your image using two\u00a0horizontal lines and two\u00a0vertical lines. You then position the important elements in your scene along those lines, or at the points where they meet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-5.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-5.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">If you see something that catches your eye don\u2019t just take one shot and hope for the best. The chances of getting a good photo with your first shot are very slim. You should take shots from various angles and distances.\u00a0Keep reviewing your photos as you go to get an idea of what is and what isn\u2019t working. If you find an angle or point of view you like then take multiple shots from that position. This helps ensure that you get a well composed shot that is in sharp focus.\u00a0 The beauty of digital photography is that you can delete all the photos that didn\u2019t work\u2026 and there will be a lot that don\u2019t work! Also don\u2019t be afraid to take bad shots. No one will ever see them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-6.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-6.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">As photographers, the choice is up to us to determine what kind of light to use in our work. Light is the essence of photography, it can be thought of as \u201cpainting with light&#8221;.\u00a0There are many different types of light, and this makes a huge difference to how your photos will turn out. Harsh\u00a0light has a hard edge between the light and the shadow, while a soft light has a smoother transition. The broader the light source, the softer the light. The narrower the source, the harder the light. A broad light source lessens shadows, reduces contrast, suppresses texture. The closer the light source, the softer the light. The farther the source, the harder the light. This stands to reason: Move a light closer, and you make it bigger\u2014that is, broader\u2014in relation to your subject. Move it farther away, and you make it relatively smaller, and therefore more narrow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-7.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-7.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, the pioneer of modern photojournalism, was the master of timing. He coined the term\u00a0decisive moment, to describe that moment at which the photo is &#8216;most significant&#8217;.<br \/>\n&#8220;I see timing as the point when your composition, exposure, lighting and subject, all intersect in perfect unison. Photographically, timing is important for everything from facial expressions to sunsets.&#8221;<br \/>\nYou can anticipate perfect timing, or create it.\u00a0Train your eye to recognize timing. Look at things in your everyday life and think of when the best time to press your camera button would be. This will train your eye and your brain to anticipate decisive moments as they happen and give you ideas on how to create them yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-8.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-Blog-8.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Our world is filled with patterns and colors. They\u2019re everywhere when you start looking for them and they can be a powerful element to think about when out and about with your camera. Rather than \u201ctranscribing\u201d a scene in front of you into picture form, those patterns and colors might bring something fresh and interesting to your result.\u00a0Look for patterns in your environment. Sometimes they are obviously designed \u2013 like the weave of a carpet or checker box of a shirt. But the even more interesting ones are discovered: similar patterns and colors from two different objects, the consistency of a boat dock viewed from above, the uniformity of the street lights, the layout of the cobblestone.\u00a0Discovering patterns and colors is a great game to play by yourself as you walk about your day. See how you can capture them with your mobile phone in a way that surprises and delights your audience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"lightbox col-md-12  \" ><a data-title=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><figure><div class=\"cs-image cs-image-frame\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lingkaran.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Mobile-Photography-9.jpg\"  class=\"img-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">You should always look at\u00a0alternative points of view\u00a0when taking your photos at any location. Most beginners will take shots from a standing position, but the beauty of the mobile phone is that it\u2019s so small and light it can be used in places that a bigger camera wouldn\u2019t work. You should consider\u00a0getting down low and shooting from ground level. This technique is great for creating a unique view of your scene that people normally wouldn\u2019t see from standing height. You could also try shooting from high up to get a bird\u2019s eye view of your subject.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<style>\n    .col-md-10 .line {<br \/>        padding-left : 16vw;<br \/>        background-color:grey;<br \/>        height:1px;<br \/>        width:90%;<br \/>    }<br \/><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-10\">\n<hr class=\"line\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more details about the step by step guidline, here take a look on the slide below.<\/strong><br \/>\n[slideshare id=82964166&amp;doc=mobilephotographyblog-171129101430]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone can pick up a mobile phone and take a photo, but it takes a more skilled photographer to create a truly great image.
