The important point to notice is that the lighting doesn’t only define the brightness and the exposure of your pictures, but it also defines the tone and the mood of the photo.

Digital
Desk: For millions of people worldwide, smartphones
have replaced traditional cameras as their preferred photographic equipment.
According to a Photutorial research, 1.2 trillion photos were shot globally in
2021. By 2022, the figure is projected to be 1.72 trillion, and by 2025, it
will be above 2 trillion. Surprisingly, cellphones are used to take 92.5% of
photos1. We only need to point today's phone camera at the topic and push the
button because it has so many features.

smartphone camera performance in honour of World Photography Day:

Get to know your
smartphone camera

color:#0A0A0A">Learn how to use the camera on your smartphone as soon as
possible. Pay attention to details like exposure and focus. Take images with
various settings and look closely at the differences. Even 8K video can now be
captured by many smartphones, and 4K or UHD is becoming fairly widespread. More
pixels provide better clarity and sharpness in your video at a higher quality.
Utilize ultra-fast microSD cards. You may want to think about the SanDisk
Extreme and Kingston microSDXC Canvas React Plus.

your phone camera. You get better at using the setting that works best in
various lighting and scenarios as you take more images using various settings. Don’t
restrict yourself to one setting, explore all of them.

Explore Natural lights

pictures clicked outdoor are vastly different and richer than the ones clicked
indoors. The important point to notice is that the lighting doesn’t only define
the brightness and the exposure of your pictures, but it also defines the tone
and the mood of the photo. Also, if possible, make sure that your subjects
should be well-lit from the front and not silhouetted by a strong light from
behind.

Enough Storage

middle of clicking some of the best pictures and your smartphone screen lights
up with a “no more storage” message. We shouldn’t be forced to delete pictures
from our phones to click new ones. Our pictures are our memories, and we should
be able to retain these . There are plenty of storage solutions available today
from companies such as SanDisk, Kingston, Samsung and more.

Stable shot

ruin your shot. Keeping your smartphone steady while taking pictures is
crucial. Purchasing a tripod will enable you to steady your phone and take
clear pictures.

Aim to Edit

font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Today, there are several editing
programmes on the market, many of which are free. Don't limit your exposure to
using just the editing features that your devices have to offer. To give your
photos more dimension, tone, and mood, use editing programmes like Snapseed,
PixelLab, Photo Editor Lumii, and Pictrick. Numerous apps also provide
"one-touch" fixes that dramatically alter your photo with almost any
work on your part.
