Tips for taking travel pictures with your mobile phone

1-     Shoot multiple photos in a row

Shooting more than once will allow you to record multiple moments in different degrees of light and dimensions, which is essential for good photography. If the camera on your smartphone has the automatic trigger in sequence feature, use it!

2-     Avoid using the digital zoom as much as possible

Digital zoom reduces the quality of images, often leaving them pixelated. Therefore, if you want to take a picture of something very close and don’t want to miss any detail, get closer to the maximum! You can then zoom in the image in a photo-editing app or on your computer without compromising image quality.

If your phone has optical zoom, you don’t have to worry about it.

3-     Don’t neglect lighting

When the light is low, the images become grainy. If you want to photograph a landscape, a specific object or take a selfie, prefer to do it during the day, in open places. If your phone has a flash, be sure to use it if you are in a dimly lit environment; But remember that the flash of the cell phone can’t reach a very large distance, so a certain proximity is necessary.

4-     Use the stabilization feature

If you don’t want your travel pictures to blur, enable this option in the camera settings bar on your smartphone. This feature causes the image to be captured only by the camera when it’s stable enough.

There are a several smartphone models. Therefore, the quality of your pictures will vary depending on the quality of the camera and the smartphone’s operating system (the more updated the better).

Furthermore, it’s best to remember that not only technique or camera features make a good picture. Often, it takes sensitivity to take the right shot at the right time. If so, how about some more tips?
