Nowadays, mobile phone photography has become very popular, so how can we make good use of the tools in our hands and take good photos?

Today, we start from the most basic and walk through the creative path of mobile phone photography.

Since I only have an iPhone device now, this article will not cover the operations of other brands.

The system comes with a camera. 1. Start the camera? The first step in taking pictures is, of course, to turn on the camera.

Although this step is not just as simple as opening the camera.

Our normal operation process when shooting is: open the camera from the desktop, and then select the photo mode to shoot.

In terms of layout, it is recommended to place the camera application on the far right side of the Dock to facilitate one-handed operation.

This step is very important and will greatly improve shooting efficiency.

There is actually a more convenient way to select the shooting mode. By using 3Dtouch, you can open various modes in the camera more quickly.

The faster you get to the photo interface, the better you can capture fleeting moments.

However, when we go out to shoot, we don’t always have our mobile phones in our hands. If we take out the phone too slowly, we may miss some important pictures.

Therefore, when I take out my mobile phone, I will subconsciously hold it.

Please ignore my big, strong hands.

Place your thumb on the power button and your index finger on the volume button, light up the screen, slide to the left, and press the volume button in one step to complete the capture.

2. Exposure control? In normal shooting mode, tap the screen to meter and focus the screen, and by sliding the small sun on the right side of the focus area up and down, you can easily control the exposure.

Long press on a certain area to lock the focus point and exposure value, and you can also slide the small sun to adjust the exposure. This method is very useful when shooting in a large light ratio environment.

3. Portrait mode? The system’s built-in camera also has a portrait mode. This mode is only available in dual-camera iPhones.

In portrait mode, the camera will automatically switch to the mid-focus lens (the iPhone’s dual camera consists of one wide-angle and one mid-focus).

In portrait mode, the system will have a corresponding blur algorithm, which can bring about a blur effect that simulates an optical large aperture. When shooting in this step, you need to pay attention to trying to find a simple background. After all, the algorithm is just an algorithm, otherwise it may

An extremely embarrassing blurring effect will occur.

4. Time-lapse photography? Another function that I use a lot is time-lapse photography.

In the time-lapse photography mode, the camera will take a photo at a certain interval and then combine the photos into a video. In this way, the effect of time compression can be achieved.

This is what the picture looks like after taking time-lapse photography.

Since GIF is compressed, the actual picture quality after shooting will be better and smoother.
