Switch on HDR HDR or High Dynamic Range is a feature on your phone where if an image has high levels of contrast it will take multiple different exposures and merge them together into one image for a better photograph. For example, a bright sunset and dark mountain can be merged together to get the perfect shot. Based on an iPhone, go to Settings, then Camera and just tap on the HDR toggle to make sure it’s active.
Use burst mode To get the perfect shot when the subject is moving, use burst mode which can be found in your camera settings. For example, on most iPhones simply swipe the shutter button to the left to take a series of continuous pictures until you lift your finger. You’ll be sure to capture the perfect action shot.
Don’t be afraid of negative space You don’t need to fill your full screen with lots of different elements. Empty space in a photograph is an excellent way to make one area a focus and make it stand out. These images also tend to look great on social media as there is more impact on a small screen.
Shoot during ‘Golden Hour’ Golden hour is just after sunrise and sunset. The light is soft and golden and gives amazing warmth to your pictures. Try taking a shot of something at both sunrise and sunset to compare and see which turns out best.
Use Depth Adding depth to your images will make them more interesting. Instead of focusing on one element of the scene, create layers to make it more appealing to the eye.
Practice makes perfect In the weeks leading up to your holiday play around with your phone and get comfortable with the features. Learning new features your phone is capable of is the perfect way to really get excited about your upcoming holiday.
REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN! Try new things and have fun with it. Take as many pictures as you like and simply delete the ones that didn’t work. Be creative with your shots and create memories you can cherish forever.
