How to take good-looking photos with mobile phones?

First note: the big one is good to choose a high-pixel camera phone.

There are many new camera phones on the market now, ranging from 300,000 pixels to 8 million pixels. The higher the pixel of the camera phone, the stronger the camera ability, and of course the better the effect. Photos below 300,000 pixels are generally ok on mobile phones, but if printed, the pictures will look rough or even ugly.

If you want to print beautiful small photos or contribute to newspapers and magazines, you'd better use a camera phone with pixel 1 10,000. Because editors should not only look at the creativity of the work, but also look at the picture effect.

Second note: Remember at least one rule of framing and composition.

Beginners often put the subject in the center of the picture and press the shutter directly after focusing. This eight-part essay is not vivid enough. It is suggested that the photographer adopt the method of "three equal parts", that is, in the actual photographic composition, the subject and the center should be slightly staggered, and attention should be paid to the echo of the subject and other objects, and the shutter should be kept in a half-pressed state. After focusing, wait for the camera to focus, and then press the shutter calmly, so that the main body of the photo will be more vivid and prominent, and will not be blurred.

A photo taken in dichotomy.

Little knowledge: "trisection" is also called "golden section". Mathematically, there is a golden section point of 0.6 18, that is, a straight line segment is divided into two parts, and the proportion of one part to the whole is equal to that of the rest. Art design and photographic composition introduced this segmentation method, using 2? 3、3? 5、5? Approximate values such as 8 represent the proportional relationship of composition. It is the most beautiful to use this ratio to divide the pictures taken by photographers.

Third note: Be sure to pay attention to the ambient light of the shooting site.

The light is strong enough and the shooting effect is good. But the light will not change according to your own will, so you should change the shooting angle at any time and pay attention to the direction of light irradiation. You can shoot along the light and try to let the subject be naturally illuminated by the light.

Think of the curtain as a giant soft mask.

Try to avoid backlighting.

Generally, the side light can highlight the texture of the object, so we should make full use of the side light. When backlighting or side backlighting, you can consider blocking with objects. If it is impossible, cover the camera with your hand to reduce the influence of backlight. You also need to be careful when shooting in strong light. Never shoot with a mobile phone lens under strong light, the effect is not good. In a dark environment, the shooting effect of mobile phones is generally not good.

Fourth note: don't drop the chain. Be sure to hold the phone steady when shooting.

Generally speaking, the phenomenon of camera phone delay is obvious, and this phenomenon will be more obvious if you use a mobile phone with an external camera to take pictures. If your hands shake at the moment you press the shutter, the photos you take will be blurred.

Try to hold the phone with both hands.

So when shooting, be sure to hold the phone steady, pay attention to give the phone a "reaction" time after pressing the shooting button, and check the shooting effect later. Remember not to turn the camera immediately after pressing the shooting button.

Fifth note: If you can't, go ahead. Digital zoom is useless.

Digital Zoom, called digital zoom in English, is to enlarge the area of each pixel in the picture through the built-in processor, so that you can see a bigger image on your mobile phone.

Now all camera phones have digital zoom function, but it is essentially different from optical zoom which can improve the definition. If it is used to take pictures, it will weaken the clarity of the image, and the effect is not as good as that without digital zoom. For example, a photo with a resolution of 640×480 taken with digital zoom may have an actual resolution of only 320×240. When viewed on a computer, the image either becomes smaller or blurred.

Sixth note: Try to choose the largest image size in the later stage.

At present, most camera phones allow users to customize the size and storage format of pictures. These items are set in the Options menu of the phone camera interface. Pay attention to choosing a large format when printing.

Bold tailoring often produces unexpected results.

Another advantage of using large-size images is that it is convenient to cut, which is very important for post-processing.

Seventh note: always use the mobile phone screen to view photos.

Generally, the memory of a mobile phone is not too large to hold a few photos. It's best to take it and delete it, and only keep the best.

If the memory capacity of your mobile phone is not large, deleting the scrap in time will save you a lot of space.

Of course, if conditions permit, you can also prepare a large-capacity flash memory, or use the data cable in time, or infrared and Bluetooth functions to transmit photos to the computer for storage.

Eighth note: the most important thing before taking pictures is to wipe the lens of the mobile phone.

Having said that, in fact, the mobile phone is more convenient to use than the camera, but if you use a mobile phone like Sharp 903SH with no protective cover in front of the lens, it is very necessary to clean the lens before taking pictures.

Before taking pictures, you need to clean the lens and stick a protective film.

If the lens is not clean, do you expect it to take clear photos?

The above eight items are all experiences summed up in practical use. Of course, you may think that I take photos with my mobile phone just for convenience, so I might as well use a digital camera if I pay attention to it. Indeed, there is still a gap between mobile phones and digital cameras, but we believe that if the photos taken by mobile phones can be completely comparable to digital cameras one day, who will bring an extra camera?
