With cameras and equipment that can cost thousands of dollars, it can be a deterrent to getting out there and capturing the&nbsp;beautiful shots we desire.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s world a smartphone is a way of life. Everyone has one (well&#8230;almost everyone!) and,\u00a0yet,\u00a0most people don\u2019t realize how powerful the camera is that they carry around in their pocket.\u00a0Sure, the features are limited in comparison to professional, stand-alone cameras, but the digital quality can almost be as good.\u00a0With the right tricks up our sleeves\u00a0we can\u00a0make our photos\u00a0look as good to the layperson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to take photos for your Instagram feed, or you want to blow up and print the perfect landscape that you shot, utilizing some basic fundamentals when you take your smartphone photos will make them stand out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what should you be looking at?\u00a0There are three areas\u00a0we\u2019ll\u00a0be looking at in this\u00a0article: Phone Settings, Traditional Photography Techniques,\u00a0and Editing (In-Camera and Traditional). These three aspects, we believe, will help elevate your photography\u00a0with the tool you already have\u00a0in your pocket.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phone Settings to Look At<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you get&nbsp;started, it is a good idea think about how you would like your camera to capture the images. Most commonly we will use the default settings. When we do that, most cameras will take the photograph as a JPEG, which is a good file format for a balance of quality and size for storage on the phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a photo is taken as a JPEG some information gets lost when it gets compressed for size. If you plan to edit the photos later (see later in this blog) then your best bet is to change the setting to shoot the photos as RAW files. When in RAW format, the photos capture as much information as your camera will allow. This will make a tremendous difference when you want to edit them later and really bring out the features that are important to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also want to consider setting up a grid on the screen of your smartphone. This grid will help you orient the screen to a landscape, object, or\u00a0(with some phones)\u00a0will tell you how many degrees off level you are tipping the phone before snapping the picture.\u00a0Now, on to the settings\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>1- Set Focus Point Manually\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When taking a photo with your camera&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;want to tap the screen of where you want the photo to be focused. This is such a simple thing, yet most people overlook it.&nbsp;When you tap your finger on the screen before you take the picture you are manually setting the focus point. This will ensure that the point you clicked will be in focus.&nbsp;In many phones, setting this focus point will also automatically adjust your exposure. Of course, you can always set your exposure manually.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2-\u00a0Use \u201cHDR\u201d Mode\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to toggle HDR \u201con.\u201d HDR mode, or \u201cHigh Dynamic Range,\u201d is a setting that widens your exposure range and will add more detail to your photos when you the subject you\u2019re photographing has lots of highs and lows,&nbsp;with&nbsp;regard to exposure. In short, no matter what the scene the phone will help you get the right exposure in tricky situations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>3- Use Burst Mode\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want an action shot?\u00a0Don\u2019t\u00a0want the blur? Burst mode can help you. By toggling on burst mode your camera will take a series of photos with one click. So, when, for example, a person is jumping your phone would take a series of photos and then you can choose the one that looks best. One of them is bound to be\u00a0\u201cblur free.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>4- Use Portrait Mode\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019d like to have a professional-looking portrait of yourself for a LinkedIn profile. Many phones come with a\u00a0portrait\u00a0option where a photo can be taken either with your front or back cameras, and it will automatically blur the background. This contrast between the in-focus image of you with a blurred background, makes you stand out as if you took it in a studio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many more features that we aren\u2019t touching on, such as\u00a0<strong>multiple lenses<\/strong>\u00a0on the newer phones;\u00a0<strong>night mode<\/strong>\u00a0on phones such as the Google Pixel\u00a0which makes low-light scenes dramatically lighter;\u00a0<strong>panoramas<\/strong>;\u00a0<strong>time lapse<\/strong>;\u00a0and much more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Photography Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Smartphone tripod. \" class=\"wp-image-202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tripod_For_Web.jpg?w=2032&amp;ssl=1 2032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/31\/using-creativity-to-engage-your-customers\/\">Vocne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photography is more than just the settings on the camera (or the phone, in this case). It is about how you craft the scene. There are some basic principles we all know of: use good lighting since low-lighting situations won\u2019t look good and come out all grainy; use camera stabilization of some sort, like a tripod, to help minimize movement and jitteriness of the photo; and get creative with the angles you are using to&nbsp;create \u201cdramatic scenes,\u201d like using low angles or high angles.&nbsp;But what else can you be doing?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>1- The Rule of Thirds\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an age-old photography technique. Look at almost any photo from your favorite website or blog and\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0probably see it in use. It is subtle\u00a0yet\u00a0powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rule of thirds. \" class=\"wp-image-210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria_Sunrise_Edit.jpg?w=1675&amp;ssl=1 1675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/vocne.com\">Vocne<\/a>. &#8220;The Rule of Thirds.&#8221; Notice how the subject is mostly in the left third of this image. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a photograph as a rectangle. Now, divide that rectangle into three equal sections across. Number them&nbsp;across&nbsp;1, 2, and 3. You want the photo \u201cleading.\u201d What this means is this: your object (a person,&nbsp;object, or whatever you are capturing) should, generally speaking, not&nbsp;be in section 2. You want it in section 1 or 3. It is visually pleasing to the eye and more captivating. When an object is directly in the middle of a photo (which does work sometimes, so use proper discretion) something&nbsp;is&nbsp;just&nbsp;\u201coff.\u201d&nbsp;Sometimes it may even feel&nbsp;amateurish. Try the rule of thirds and see how the composition of your piece is elevated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2- Use Leading Lines\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leading lines are any lines in your photograph that go off into the distance. This could be the lines on a street, for example. It could be a pathway or telephone poles. The idea is that leading lines create depth and, therefore, create a more dynamic photo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photography editing station. \" class=\"wp-image-205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/LrPs_For_Web.jpg?resize=2048%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/vocne.com\">Vocne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Why&nbsp;edit&nbsp;your photos?&nbsp;Your photos probably look pretty good when you preview them on your smartphone screen or on the computer.&nbsp;With a few simple adjustments those photos can go from good to great.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two major ways that we will\u00a0discuss here\u00a0for editing your photographs:<strong> in-camera editing<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>traditional editing<\/strong>\u00a0with a third-party\u00a0program.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-Phone Editing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at in-camera editing. The \u201clow hanging fruit\u201d of this topic lies with filters. Those of us familiar with Snapchat, Instagram, and other modes of social media are probably already familiar with filters. Photography filters work in much the same way. As opposed to going through every setting of an image edit, filters have presets that we can apply to photography to get a desired feel. For the most part, we don\u2019t recommend using these because they can tend to be a little too generic and might not give you the full potential of your epic shot.&nbsp;But in a situation where time is tight and you have an Instagram post to get out, they work in a pinch.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more preferred in-camera editing can be done by looking at the capabilities of your individual phone. Usually when previewing your photos in whatever stock viewer you have, there is typically a place to adjust individual settings. There are many editing options on our phones, but\u00a0for our purposes we just want you to know that adjustments such as white balance, exposure, contrast, color vibrancy and saturation are available from your phone. Even adjusting these by eye, usually with a slider, can really enhance your photos,\u00a0and the changes can be seen instantaneously on the screen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Editing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional editing, as we\u2019re referring to it, is the process of taking your photos from the smartphone and loading them onto a laptop or desktop computer for&nbsp;editing.&nbsp;Using&nbsp;apps to edit your photographs gives the greatest amount of precision and detail that you can have. As a reminder, it is best to use photos in RAW format to give the most information from which to adjust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Victoria-Sunrise-Contrast_2_For_Web.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photography editing illustration.

The left side of this image is unedited; the right side has been edited in Lightroom. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We prefer to use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for our edits. However, there are free programs such as Gimp that will give you some very nice results as well.&nbsp;You may find that all you need is something like Lightroom, which&nbsp;is less&nbsp;expansive&nbsp;than Photoshop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever editing program you decide to use you\u2019ll find that the editing options seem limitless. A photo can really \u201ccome together\u201d in the editing phase. In your editing program you will see places to set your exposure, your color vibrancy,&nbsp;your&nbsp;cropping and straightening&nbsp;of&nbsp;your photo, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tools, such as \u201cclone stamping\u201d and \u201cspot healing,\u201d that remove blemishes and minor annoyances from your image. You can do a lot to manipulate your photographs and make them whatever you want them to be.&nbsp;Most people won\u2019t even notice your edits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend paying close attention to the color settings because you can really do a lot with them. You can change the \u201ctemperature\u201d of the photo, adjust the white balance, and much more. We had quite a bit of fun with these settings this fall with all the New England foliage we had. Adjusting the color can really transform a photograph\u00a0from bland to eye-catching.\u00a0\u00a0Remember, editing is half of what photography is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are many editing tools located within these programs. These programs would require their own articles to fully describe their capabilities, and even&nbsp;then&nbsp;we&nbsp;would just be scratching the surface.&nbsp;The main takeaway is that traditional editing programs offer you much more precision than&nbsp;your&nbsp;in-camera editing tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, having a professional DSLR camera will offer you more control than using your built-in camera on your smartphone. However, it all depends on how you use what you have. By&nbsp;taking a look&nbsp;at these settings and simple techniques you can create professional-looking photos with the tools you already have.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photography, like anything else, can get very complicated.&nbsp;It can also get cost-prohibitive to start out.
