Photography is the Art of Taking Light
- start thinking how you want to take it
The basics ...
What can be improved?
Phone - point to focus if the portion is dark, it will be too bright. Point face instead of hair.
Focus on the average brightness point of the photo. Experiment a bit. Don't focus on the moving object.
Tab and hold to focus

Setting ISO
Photography is not how you feel but how other people value it. (what it means to you)
Aperture, Shutter and ISO are interdependent.
Photography is not about the gear but how you take it.
Smartphone Photography - you are always ready to shoot (As and when you take it)
Rule of 2/3 - Grip
Avoid dead space
Composition tells the story - think about what is in your photo
Lots of light vs low light
Perspective, position and focus length
Shoot from low high you make it more grand but beware of double chin
Shoot from high down you make it more small
With your smart phone, everything looks further away (wide lens)
Smart phone zoom digitally (it just cut away the photo)
Light your subject well
- photography is the art of using light
- no matter where you shoot, or what you are using , always look for light
- choose your light, if possible
- watch for too much hard light (lots of shadows)
Look out where is the Sun
Experiment with white balance
-watch for the colour of the light available
-Adjust the balance
Compose, don't just be snap happy
Think about what you want to tell in a photo
If your photos ain't good enough, you ain't close enough. - Robert Capa
Bring out the subject (go near)
Photography is about WHERE you stand
Watch that flash
- use it if you need it (backlight)
- get used to knowing the light
- More to a brighter spots
Keep still when taking photo
Edit the images later
(editing tools on Pc is better than camera)
Don't throw away mistakes
What you see on your phone is not what you see on your PC
Avoid using the digital zoom, just crop it.
Digital zoom is nothin but a in-build crop
Keep your lens cleans
The better the resolution m, the better the quality, all other factors being equal .
Always set resolution to Large
Shoot loose - know when your camera takes the photo ie when you touch the screen or when your finger leaves the screen. Does it have a focusing delay?
Observe camera etiquette
Bear in mind the limitation of your camera.
It isn't a DSLR and it is your eye.
Know what your camera tools. What your camera can do or can not do.
Remember the basics?
And when you can break the rules.
