We live in an amazing time, if 20 years ago to purchase the camera had to save money, but now in the pocket of almost everyone over 16 years is the "camera in miniature": mobile phone / smart phone with camera - and one push of a button is enough to capture the unique event. Instead, 80% of the flow of "mobile" pictures is a "crossbows" in the mirror, the contents of someone's dinner plates and "fotochki" new manicure or a new pair of shoes / new car. His band, of course, can be filtered, leaving only those who do not abuse such a "masterpiece" of mobile photography. But how do most only interesting and memorable pictures? I think there is no need to be superkrutym "pro", but rather only do not forget the elementary rules of 5:

1. Capture custom / artistic value point having: Cup of coffee and a roll of no particular artistic value. Cup of coffee and biscuit on the background of the opening of the window type in the Paris / London / exotic island somewhere in the a little-known Asian wilderness - is another matter :) (this is, of course, a joke, but I think you get the idea). Moment in which events occur that are unique to the area / country / culture / group people, being "caught" in the lens will be a vivid reminder of a certain period in your life. simulator timer in the gym and a plate of salad you and your subscribers in different social networks and so almost every day you can see hundreds of angles and variations.

2. Photograph nature, rather than food: I, frankly, do not understand the sacred meaning (and the plot almost 70% of the photos in Instagram) putting some photos of their plates / cups / trays with food. Likewise, you can take pictures of cans of gasoline that you refuel your car or chargers and sockets, which you use for your gadgets. Food - "engine" rather than inspiration (a separate issue - it is food-design, but I have a tape of the same Instagram only 1 person (girl from Norway), created whole mini-pictures and stories of the products / berries / fruits. You're going to shoot your soup? It is better to look for a heaven and a view opens the window: there is something more interesting and worthy to get into the lens of your smartphone.
3. Photograph people as often as possible, not forgetting of decency: Relatives, friends, acquaintances, colleagues - they change over time, grow up, grow old, go out of your life. You leave yourself interesting moments and memories, supported by images. But we should not, of course, look like a Japanese tourist of comedy films at any "photo hunt" a sense of proportion and choose the appropriate moments and situations.
4. Use a minimum of filters and no need for any "frames" / "ryushechek": "Frames" and an abundance of decorations transform a potentially good shot at some children's collage. That allowed American adolescents and Japanese schoolgirls, should not become your "expression of creativity." Creativity is the right choice of angle, in "Catch" the moment, unusual lighting situations or unique / natural phenomenon that you were able to capture (and not in how much "hipster" filters you "to stick" on one shot).
5. Always do a few shots, but for publication in social networks, select / process only one of them: Many smartphones enabled by default auto-publish all the pictures taken in the social networks or online albums. This should not be done: as a rule, only 40-30% of the frames really successful and represent some interest to others. Therefore it is better to manually select the most successful pictures, process them to the required quality (not abusing effects and settings editors) - and then publish on the social network, or in his blog.

Good luck with your "photo-shoot"!
