How can I take good photos with my mobile phone?

Now that mobile phone photography has become very popular, how to take good photos with the sharp weapon in your hand?

Today, let's start with the basics and look at the creative road of mobile phone photography.

Since I only have iPhone devices in my hand now, this article does not involve the operation of other brands for the time being.

The system is equipped with a camera.

1, camera on?

The first step in taking pictures is, of course, to turn on the camera. Although this step is more than just turning on the camera.

Our normal shooting process is: turn on the camera from the desktop, and then choose shooting mode to shoot.

In terms of layout, it is recommended to put the camera application on the far right side of the Dock bar, which is convenient for one-handed operation. This step is very important and will greatly improve the shooting efficiency.

Choosing shooting mode is actually a more convenient operation method. By using 3Dtouch, you can open various modes in the camera faster.

The sooner you reach the camera interface, the more fleeting moments you can capture.

However, when we go out to shoot, we don't always hold our mobile phones in our hands. If we take out our mobile phones too slowly, we may miss some important pictures. So, when I take out my mobile phone, I will subconsciously hold it.

Please ignore my strong hand.

Put your thumb on the power button and your index finger on the volume button, light up the screen, slide to the left, and press the volume button to complete the snapshot in one step.

2. exposure control?

In normal shooting mode, click on the screen to measure and focus the picture, and slide the small sun on the right side of the focus area up and down to easily control the exposure.

Press and hold an area to lock the focus and exposure value, and slide the small sun to adjust the exposure. This method is very useful when shooting large light ratio environment.

3. portrait mode?

The system comes with a camera and portrait mode, which is only available on the dual-camera iPhone. In portrait mode, the camera will automatically switch to the medium focus lens (iPhone dual camera consists of wide angle and medium focus).

In portrait mode, the system will have corresponding blurring algorithm, which can bring the blurring effect of large aperture of analog optics. When shooting in this step, it should be noted that we should try to find a simple background. After all, the algorithm is just an algorithm, otherwise it may produce an extremely embarrassing fuzzy effect.

4. Time-lapse photography?

Another function that I use more is time-lapse photography.

In time-lapse photography mode, the camera will take a photo at regular intervals and then combine the photos into a video, which can compress the time.

The picture effect after time-lapse photography is like this.

Because GIF is compressed, the picture quality after actual shooting will be better and smoother.
