Share the best photos with friends, family, and followers
One of the best parts of a smart phone is how you can pick it up and snap a photo in an instant, and it’s even better when you can take those photos and share them online with friends and fans. Thanks to mobile photography, the everyday photographer is becoming someone who can even turn their passion for pictures into a social media platform.
Beginner photography is easier than ever
Anyone can capture amazing photos using an entry-level camera or a smart phone. Close ups, portraits, landscapes, and night shots are simple to snap and even easier to edit thanks to photography editing apps and smartphones with high quality cameras.
You can save your photos for your family or friends, but if you want to share that photography with an online audience, you could branch out and become a photography influencer. Photography influencers are people who gain a mass following on social media platforms like Instagram.
How to capture good pictures on a smartphone
Depending on which phone you have, a smart phone camera has all of the built-in features of many entry and advanced cameras. There are three easy tips for capturing the best photos on your phone’s camera: brush up on the features your camera has so you can use HDR and Burst mode for multiple shots, use natural light as much as possible, and use editing apps to lighten, darken, or add tone as needed.
How to capture good pictures on a camera
A smart phone is a great device for capturing photos in an instant, but if you’d like to branch out and expand your skills in beginner photography, a point and shoot camera or action camera should be on your list of must-haves. Capturing good photos on a camera can be just as easy as capturing photos on a smart phone camera. If you’re serious about upgrading the photos you take, choose a camera with a touchscreen for easy navigation, auto focus to quickly hone in on your subject, and built-in photo editing.
Tools you need to capture great photos
The key to capturing amazing photos is to be prepared for anything and have photography tools ready when you need them. A proper lighting set up will ensure your images come out crisp and clear every time. Storage devices like an external hard drive will store all of your files in one location so they don’t fill up your camera SD card, your smart phone’s memory, or your computer’s hard drive. You may also want to add mobile phone accessories so you can expand the way your phone takes photos. A portable charger will keep your smart phone fully charged, and you can add different lenses to your smart phone camera to add dimension to your mobile images.
Whether you’d like to be a photography influencer or you just want to capture the best photos of life’s every day events and share them with your family, you’ll find everything you need to capture photos at Best Buy.
