At this time, mobile phone or cellphone that we always bring in your pocket or bag not only for comunication tool  but now mobile phone equipped with many amazing features such as :MP3 Player, GPS, Recording, Organizer, and of course Camera.

     With the competition between many big mobile phone companies,we can find new mobile phone with the  newly feautres everyday. And Camera feature in  mobile is the one of most reason why people buy the current mobile phone. Because the increasing of cellphone camera  abilities ( megapixel, lens quality, and flash), the numbers of consumer are more and more. Unfornately, the photo result of mobile phone camera is still limited. Not only because the camera quality but also because we dont know how to use cellphone camera properly.
      Start from a little step, many people think that  we must have Digital SLR camera to start learning about photography. For some people it’s quite hard to buy  Digital SLR camera without save money before. But don’t worry, if at this time you don’t have Digital camera,  you can learn from your own Mobile Phone Camera.

So this is the 11 Photography Techniques using mobile phone:

1.     Say no to Zooming, approach to the object
       Mobile Phone camera tend to make smaller photo object,  try to always take photograph from good enough lenght, so whole object can fit in the frame without zooming. Zooming will decrease your  photo resolution overall and make it not depth.

2.      Make sure there’s enough lights that shining on object
        Mobile phone camera is not sensitive like our eyes which is can see in the dim lights. Try to always find the good place with the good lights , photo result in the outdoor more good better than indoor.  Use flash when  you shooting in indoor. But the thing that you must remember the effective lenght of flash ares around 2-3 meters, so don’t wish you can shining all room with flash.

3.      Hold the Mobile phone as stable as possible

       More stable when you hold , more good the photograph. Always make sure our hand  don’t shaking when taking a photograph. If needed, usr the stuff around as the support like tree or wall, so your hand is more stable.

4.      Don’t Forget Composition
        Knowledge about composition is very helpful to shoot better. But don’t always stuck with that rules, like the pro photographers said that the first rule in photography is there’s no rule. Read more about photo composition here.

5.      Find the unique spot
       The picture that made from usual angle then the result wil produce usual picture also. Try to take a photograph from unusual angles like squat and shoot from low angle. It makes unusual uniq impression for people eyes.

6. Always Choose High Resolution 

        Photograph with highest resolution have more many detail and capable to print in big scale. If camera give the resolution choices, choose the high resolution . High resolution also have bigger file size, it’s good photograph if you want to continue in editing process.

7. Make sure The lens always clean
       How good our photography techniques and how good the object, but if we use dirty lens , the photo result must be ugly.  Because mobile phone placed in our pocket long time, then the dirt must be cling on lens, so that clean the lens periodically. Use the smooth fabric to clean it without the any liquid. If your lens spilled by oil, use the LCD/glasses cleaner liquid.

8. Recognize the shutter break time.
        Mobile phone camera have feature called shutter lag, it is the break times between when we press and when the camera start to take photograph. It isn’t like DSLR camera that so quick when take a photograph after we press exposure, Mobile phone is quite slow. Recognize this break time properly , in order to keep our hand stable after we press the shutter.

9. Choose the good app editing 

       Mobile Phone or smartphone have many interesting editing features. Try to choose the good quality photograph for editing.

10. Take photograph as often as possible 

        Praise to the lord because we live in digital era so how many times we shoot , no need spend more extra money. Imagine if yo shoot using film, how many rolls that you have to buy? Because it, don’t worry to take photographs as many  as possible until your memory in your handphone is full, more many we take a photograph, more many good photographs also.

11. Choose the right filter effect , don’t too much! 

         Actually this is subjective, but according most people if photograph is filtered too much , the photo result becoming not so good instead. Edit with main purpose to streghten the photo sense, not to decorate it. If you use good app editor, just adjust the contrast, vignette, crop and add mood that make photo more cool without looks too much filter treatment.
