Enhance mobile photography: 5 tips for everyone

First of all, set your resolution to high level. We cannot deny that the quality of a photo depends on the  resolution. When taking shot with a smartphone camera, you should try to get closer to the subject rather than zooming in. This makes your photos better. Secondly, using rear cameras instead of front cameras. It’s so obvious that almost every rear camera in smartphones are equipped with higher pixel as well as better aperture than the front.

Thirdly, getting enough light is another way to improve your photograph, especially natural light. In addition, you need to avoid backlight as well. In low light condition, don’t use flash. You can use night photography apps like Night Cam for iOS and Night Camera for Android. Furthermore, you need to adjust your camera settings to suitable modes. In general, we usually consider these 4 aspects: focus, exposure, white balance and ISO. White balance should be based on the light condition of the environment. For example, when taking photo outside, it is more suitable to use Cloudy and Daylight whereas florescent and incandescent are used indoor.
