The mood of celebration and Christmas.
I took a big series of photos on my phone. I went to the store before Christmas. The store had a lot of colorful lights, garlands for the holiday. I picked up my phone and started taking pictures.
How to take a picture on the phone?
It's very simple. The phone has a small lens, small focal length. The small lens and the small size of the sensor allow you to get a clear and good picture in the vicinity of the object. The background of the objects will be blurred physically, not programmatically. New smartphones are fine-tuning photos at the expense of artificial intelligence. You should get very good pictures.
Recommended characteristics of the smartphone.
Smartphones are produced annually a large number. Many are so good that you can get confused. For me, there are a few parameters that give insight about the quality of the shot.
1. Ratings. Of course I watch reviews and ratings. Don't trust them too much.
2. Aperture 1.6-1.8. More light, better quality.
3. Number of megapixels from 12 to 16. Your picture will shoot well in poor light if the aperture is about 1.7. In the daytime, also good. Many smartphones are now chasing megapixels, a new trend, a marketing ploy. A large number of megapixels slightly improve the picture at night. However, not the most important indicator. If you print a picture in its real size (resolution), the quality will not be very good.
4. You can also compare on the size of the matrix. However, they are the same, it is very difficult to place good optics in the phone. Therefore, manufacturers try to achieve good quality through processing algorithms.
Little secret.
Next, I'll show you photos that were taken quickly. They were created, almost on the move. Customers in the store was necessary to move and not to interfere with other people to look. In addition to a good phone, you need to enable manual settings. Or in automatic settings to focus correctly and adjust the light. I opened the manual camera settings. Reduced the exposure and used the ISO from 50 to 100. In some cases, the long exposure worked.
Bright photos from the store shelf.
You can look closely and see the store shelf. Good photo. Do you see a garland of stars on a black background? It's low exposure. Bright light clearly illuminates the contour of the plastic, the background becomes dark, almost black. It turns out a good picture.
It is important to focus on the object. Some bulbs are very bright and there may be white spots in the photo..
Lots of colorful light bulbs. Close range. Physically blurred background. Magic and simple photos. There is no graphical processing here.
You can experiment and even blur the background manually. You will get another interesting picture.
They found fluffy light bulbs. They have weak lights, so it's safe. They are fluffy and a little soft. Shine well and look great.
A photo that I really like. It makes sense. Warm and cold. Two lines. Road. Fate and more. I took a picture there. Simple and beautiful.
Most of all I liked the photos with stars.
At the end of his post I want to show a photo that gives warmth and comfort. Made in the same place. Thanks.
