Do you find yourself often taking pictures with your cell phone? With millions of cell phones in circulation, it is not a big surprise that many of them take advantage of this cool feature to take on-the-go shots wherever they might be. And with the ever-improving technology of cell phone cameras, many of those shots are now ending up becoming cherished pictures that are displayed everywhere from the shooter’s online social network profile to on their desktop or mantel, inside elegant picture frames. No matter what type of cell phone camera you have, the tips that follow will turn you into a better photographer in no time:

– Be mindful of the light. Low light can yield a bad image, so keep this in mind. Take pictures when lighting outside is sufficient, unless the camera is equipped with a flash.

– Choose high resolution photos. As a rule of thumb, the higher the resolution that you choose, the better your pictures shot with a cell phone will be. You cannot actually observe the difference in picture quality on the cell phone screen, but once you have transferred the photos over to your computer, you can tell a big difference in high resolution and low resolution pictures.

– Clean your lens. The camera in your cell phone is typically not equipped with a customary lens cap. The lens can easily get dirty or dusty, or become marred by fingerprints. Clean the lens with a soft cloth before taking cell phone pictures.

– Experiment with different angles. Take photos at different angles to avoid the urge to be monotonous in taking pictures with your cell phone.

– Explore the features of your cell phone camera. Read and study your owner’s manual to find out which features your cell phone camera has and how to use them.

– Get close to your subject. No matter whether you have the latest cell phone model, your camera phone like doesn’t have a zoom lens. For this reason, you will need to approach your subject or object that you are photographing. What’s more, close-ups on a cell phone camera have greater detail. But use caution. Keep a bit of distance between you and the object. If you take a picture too close to the subject, it might become blurred.

– Keep your balance when shooting pictures with your cell phone. Hold your balance so that your images are not blurred.

– Pay attention to the background. Position your subject against a background that is not busy or complicated. Also take into consideration whether or not the background interferes with your subject. For example, does it look as if an object in the background is sprouting out of the subject’s head, such as a flagpole or tree?

– Use a memory card. Be sure to purchase a memory card for your camera that is sufficiently large to hold a number of photographs at once.

These tips will turn your cell phone pictures into works of art that are worthy of displaying in beautiful picture frames around your home and office!
