Mobile Phone Photography

After long hiatus from writing to focus more on actual photography, here I am again trying to make sense on my scribe. Having English as second language, it is  quite hard for me to come up with a clear article of photography instructions. So this early I am asking for your patience if you found some grammar inaccuracies in my articles. Rest assure that I am very much willing to address it and provide much detailed information in the comment section if you take notice of it by posting a comment.

Lets talk about Photography

Photography is the art and science of creating and processing image.  It varies from film and digital process which is the most popular nowadays since the advent of smart phones with camera that has larger pixels capable of taking decent photographs.
The main element of photography is light, well, basically aside from you having a working camera capable of taking and recording photos. I wanna talk about the photography triangle and the understanding and usage of it in photography but I think I will save that on the deeper part of our photographic journey.

Let’s keep this article simple by pretending that you have a phone with camera and you wanna take decent photos. Here are the things you need to do:

1. Study the camera operation in your smart phone. Take note of different settings and its effect on the output.
2. Make up your mind on the orientation of the image you want to take. Be it portrait (how you hold the phone in normal way) or landscape orientation. (Swinging the phone and holding it like it was a camera.
3. Avoid taking tilted photos or photos with slanted horizon. Take note of that frame in the camera make it always at balance level.
4. Talking about balance, be sure to frame the subject/element properly inside the frame. Avoid  taking picture with a big negative space on one side. When you’re taking photos of people avoid cutting their body parts(especially arm) on one side  if you still have more negative space on he other side of the frame.
5. Be firm in holding you phone/camera in taking photos to avoid camera shake.
6. Keep shooting.
