Click nice pictures using Point & Shoot Cameras or Cell phones


A lot of people ask me about how to get better picture quality using cell phone cameras or basic point and shoot, sharing few tips which I think everyone should know about before you click

Six points to click nice pictures using Point & Shoot Cameras or Cell phones:

    1. Know Thy Camera: Make sure you know every single setting in your camera before you go clicking. Settings like ISO, white balance, etc... Can have a huge impact on your photos. Sometimes cameras/mobiles have low resolution set by default to click more photos, set the quality to best resolution possible.
    2. Golden Hour:  Period of 30 minutes around the sunrise and sunset is called the Golden hour; utilize this time to click some awesome pictures. Choosing the right time is important.
    3. Light source: Ensure you don’t click against the light (Bright light source pointing towards your camera). If you can see sunlight falling on your camera, move two or three steps back into shade.
    4. Eye contact: Whenever clicking portraits of adults or kids, always try to click them at their eye-level. Try to bend a little or lie down on ground while clicking; this can greatly enhance your portraits.
    5. Steady hold: A lot of pictures clicked from mobile phone cameras have shake in them, and hence appear blurred. Best way to avoid this is; rest your phone on some table, or bonnet of car when outdoor, or lean against a pole.
    6. Frame It, Right: You can frame your subject/objects by using 'rule of thirds' (refers to the way a frame is divided into thirds) or 'golden ratio'  or 'golden median' ; You can Google more on these... These rules creates reference points for good framing.

Happy Clicking...
