Tips for taking good picture:

Don’t zoom with smartphone: Modern smartphone gives you the opportunity to zoom your photo. But it doesn’t have any physical lens like Camera. It actually crops your image before taking picture and you lose pixels which decreases the quality of the picture. Go close to the object rather than zooming.

Use back camera: Always use back camera of your smartphone as its quality is much better than its front camera.

Take some time: Don’t take picture quickly. Focus the object and make sure everything is in the frame. Take few pictures of same object from different angle and then choose the best picture.

Take advice:Join any photography club and take advice from the experts.

Backgrounds:You always concern about a particular object but it has some backgrounds. This can influence the beauty of the picture. Suppose you have taken a picture of a person and with him you also took a picture of dustbin. Just think how bad will it be? Always create a relation between background and the theme of the image.

Don’t shake:Hold your camera in a correct way and don’t shake.

Take your camera everywhere: Don’t keep your camera at home. Take this where you go. Take picture what you like around and capture every moments. By doing this you will be able to take many pictures and become an expert one day.

Use of software: You can use image editing software like Photoshop to enhance brightness, crop, and give effects to pictures.
