14 DAY TRIAL // Smartphones are becoming more and more popular nowadays, mostly thanks to the latest technologies integrated in their cameras, capable of delivering very good image quality that sometimes rivals entry-level digital cameras.
Furthermore, both the Android Market and the App Store offer a wide range of applications that allow you to edit, improve, and share your photos with the utmost ease.
If you have an iPhone and you like using it to take pictures more than with your digital camera, PictureCorrect has a few tips on how to improve your photography skills.
First of all, you should understand how your iPhone camera works and what its limits are. Due to its small size, your iPhone doesn't come with a large image sensor like digital cameras or DLSR do. This has an impact on image quality as well as its size.
Moreover, a small image sensor is not designed to offer great low-light capabilities due to its lower ISO sensitivity. Knowing this for starters should help you avoid situations when capturing a high-quality photo is not possible due to low-light conditions.
Another important fact you should consider is keeping your camera steady whenever taking a picture. Holding the camera with both hands might help, but for increased steadiness you have to keep your arms close to your body and slightly bend your knees, while making sure you tap the shutter button without moving the camera.
If you want to get closer to the subject, a good piece of advice is not to use the built-in zoom feature. The iPhone does not come with a lens with optical zoom and instead uses digital zoom to get you closer to the subject, while greatly reducing image quality.
You should also consider taking a look at the App Store and experiment with different applications to see what results you can get. You can read more about this topic on the PictureCorrect website.
