How To Take Good Pictures With Camera Phone
Written by ImagesLab.net on Tuesday, January 22, 2008Every so often, do you hear yourself complaining that even having a 3.2MP camera phone, you still can't capture any nice pictures? Take for example blurred or distorted images? In this topic, I'm going to share my own experience on how to take good pictures with a camera phone. To those interested, read on as I'll be providing a few useful information.
Nowadays nearly all camera phones in the market has the option to set its "image quality" for instance to 0.3M, 2M or 3M or even 5M, if you happen to own a 5.0MP camera phone. Always set this to the max as this will give you better quality photos. Some selected phone comes with the option to set its "resolutions", set this to as high as possible to get better quality images. Also make sure that you are using the right setting such as close up (macro mode), portraits or scenery mode. Please make sure the distance of your target object is not too far from your position. I've got no detailed explanation for this as it's based from my own experience. You might want to try it to find out.
Miraculously, I've never for once use the "zoom" function at all. I know a lot of people tend to stand a little further from the object and then use the zoom function to bring the object nearer. Please, please do not do this. I can guarantee the picture taken with and without using zoom has a great deal of difference. The latter will be clearer compared to the picture with zoom.
Normally for one same picture, I have a habit of taking at least 3 to 5 shots with different settings such as changing the white balance and exposure or different scene mode for the same object. This is because the result of the pictures will be slightly different when you are viewing it from your computer. Do you think a photographer take only 1 shot with their model and straightaway use it for the publication of a magazine cover? No they don't, because they'll take quite a number of it before finally choosing the best to feature in a magazine cover or an ad. So, spend some time to take a few shots of the same object; it won't cost you a single cent. :)
Lighting also plays an important element in photo shooting. Ensure the place where you're going to take pictures has sufficient lightings and avoid dark or places with dim lights or you'll end up with poor quality pictures. Last tip, this skill will call for some practice. When capturing pictures, your hands mustn't be shaky, if you find that its hard to stop your hands from shaking, try to lean on a wall to get more steady hands. In addition, never move your phone immediately after capturing when your phone is previewing the picture. Wait a few seconds for the image to 'stabilize'. So, do practice more as only with practice your skills can be perfected.
Mobile photography is meant to provide convenience because you can take pictures without bringing out another digital camera. However for special events like wedding or graduation ceremony pictures, I will advice you to use a digital camera or even better a dslr camera for better end results.
