In today's world, each of us can consider himself a photographer. Certainly almost all of our readers a couple of times a week "instragrammyat" your breakfast or take pictures with your friends and colleagues. That's fine, but there is a small disadvantage - the majority of pictures are not professional "reflex" or "Soap", but in the smartphone camera. One of the last good examples - during the American holiday of Thanksgiving Day the new image upload speed in the social network Instagram was fi 226 pictures per second.
Today, on the calendar on December 21, and then to the main holiday just over a week left in the year. If you plan during the New Year supplement the family album of a dozen memorable photographs, and there is only a hand iPhone (or even a smartphone running Android, not much difference), I recommend to start to read our tips on iPhoneography.
Avoid oncoming light source
In fact, the board is suitable for all cameras, but it is particularly relevant for the iPhone, because the camera on smartphones more likely to suffer from improper setting of light. When you make a festive portrait of your family, try not to be placed in such a way that bright light sources (the sun, light, tree with garland) were behind the subject. If you shoot at the window, then Draw curtains or blinds. In short, make sure that the light source is behind you or to the side, or instead of colorful pictures, you get a set of silhouettes.
Install enough light
As mentioned above, smart phone camera is very dependent on the light source. Unfortunately, many beginning photographers do not understand this simple truth, so the smartphone starts to automatically add illumination program methods, causing increased graininess and appear on the frame of various kinds artifacts. If you're shooting indoors and have the opportunity to advance to dispose of the world, including a sufficient number of lamps.
Use photo-applications
Standard Camera.app system program on iOS in almost all situations, meets the requirements of users. And if you want to use the digital zoom while shooting invisible children until they open the presents under the tree? Or make any unusual photo of a girl on a background of fireworks? Well, in that case you need to refer to the App Store app store and install a couple of additional programs. On our site you can MacRadar become acquainted with some of them.
Adjust the focus and exposure
When you click the shutter trigger iPhone can automatically focus on the center the subject, but you can always touch the screen and manually set focus. Similarly, the exposure to the - touch the shadow area and the iPhone will make picture brighter. And if you set the exposure to the lightest area of the photo, it will increase the number of shadows, and the photo will appear darker. As you can guess, using these parameters the images look more professional.
Turn off the flash
I'm not a big fan of using a flash, because often these photos are unnatural and poor quality, especially with flash on smartphones. To partly remedy the problem of shooting in low light conditions, a higher ISO setting in the settings and switch to the HDR mode (High Dynamic Range). The latter function is responsible for shooting several pictures with different exposure levels and subsequent pasting into a single image, which improves image quality without the need for hardware flash.
use lenses
iPhone (like most modern smartphones) has in its arsenal, the ability to change the focal length, that is, you can not take advantage of the hardware approach, both professional chambers. Fortunately, you can turn to third-party solutions, and to order any removable lens, Of which on the internet quite a lot. Do not be afraid that now with your iPhone you will look weird, take pictures with the lens - like pictures using the iPad. Unusual only in the early days.
I hope that our article has helped you grasp the basics of photography on the iPhone, and now your holiday frames will only please you. Happy Holidays!
