We all love taking photos with our cellphones and the following tips will assist in making those captured moments better:
– To provide more stability when capturing the moment, use the volume keys to take the photo
– When taking a photo, you should only touch your screen for two reasons – to set the place where the camera should focus and to set which part of the photo needs to be optimally exposed
– Ensure you hold the phone with both hands when taking the photo
– Try not to use the zoom function when taking photos – it only crops your photo
– If possible, do not use the flash, as it causes red eyes, harsh shadows and underexposed backgrounds.
– To take sharper, more in focus photos, use a wall as a stabiliser
– You need to know when to break and when to obey the general rules of photography, for example the rule of thirds.

Follow these tips and you are sure to take beautiful photos and treasure those memories forever.
