10 Smartphone Photography Mistakes That Held Me Back for Years
1 min read
Summary
A common mistake that many people make when taking photos with their smartphone is not manually changing the exposure, which can lead to cloudy skies being overblown and difficult to control shadows and contrast in harsh lighting.
Another mistake is ignoring shutter speed, not realising you can change it for long exposure shots, and therefore not maximising your potential.
It is also common to ignore camera filters, not realising that the standard colour filter can limit your creativity and that you can change the filter strength and even further adjust it using the smartphone camera editing tools.
Many people also don’t turn on the camera grid and levels, which can result in wonky and poorly composed photos.
Overusing portrait mode is another common mistake, not realising your smartphone’s limitations and expecting your editing to fix bad photos are other major issues to be aware of.
