Smartphones have made taking travel photos much more convenient. You don’t have to carry around expensive and bulky cameras to capture your favorite moments; just reach into your pocket and snap away.
Now, despite the fact that smartphone cameras have come a long way, they still can’t match the quality of traditional cameras. However, there are some tips and tricks that can be used to get them as close as possible.
Get Familiar with Your Smartphone Camera
Don’t just rely on the default settings of your camera. Instead, do some research and get familiar with its capabilities. Newer smartphones offer different camera modes, lens adjustments, and resolution settings that will help you.
Work the Angles
Holding a smartphone straight and pointing it out to the frame you want to capture seems natural. However, it is also a wrong approach. You should take several photos and each time, try a different angle to see which one looks the best. For example, photos of buildings, landscape photos, and food photos all require angle adjustments to look the best.
Follow the Rule of Thirds
This is one of the basic rules of photography that you can apply to smartphone cameras. You should look at your screen as if it was split into three equal grids. Instead of photographing the subject in the middle imaginary grid, you should place it at the intersection of the first and second or second and third grid. This will add depth to the photo and make it more intriguing.
Use the Photo Editors
You shouldn’t shy away from photo editors. They are amazing for clearing small mistakes that you didn’t notice at first and getting your vision of the photo on the surface.
