get-better-pictures-with-your-mobile-camera

To cherish the inspired moment that came and went much
too quickly by capturing it with your mobile camera
is immensely satisfying. It does not call for heavy work,
spending many hours to get pictures that stand out.
Just let the shutter capture a special moment to make
it memorable life long.

Whether you are a beginner or a novice digital photographer, the white
balance of your photos will make or break the way your pictures turn out. It is
not hard to correct your white balance setting, before you begin taking
pictures, but if you don’t, it is extremely difficult to correct it in your pictures.

Mobile phones have given cameras in the hands of all.
Through the newly purchased high end mobile camera
Asmita (fictitious name)saw blue tinge. Was there
something wrong with the mobile or was the hyped
camera feature false? The mystery can be solved if
you know what is white balance.

White balance is NUMBER 1 difference between digital and film photography.
If you do not have the proper white balance the
photograph is unfixable.
So it is very important to pay attention to white
balance at all times.
Here is the beginning of my post.


Basically, white balance is known as the way the digital
camera adjusts to compensate for the kind of lighting
conditions in each scene. It is essential in creating the
true to life colors that digital photography is known for.
Knowing about white balance will give you years of
joyful reminiscence.

White balance is very important in digital photography
because a digital camera picks up pretty much every color
in an image, like a video camera does. If you have ever
used a digital camera and your images appear to have
a green or pinkish tone, then you are looking at the result
of not having the proper white balance.
Does the image of the sea shore at sunset appear dark and off color?
If so, it means your white balance is not proper.

It is very important that you always check the settings
of the digital camera of your mobile phone whenever you begin to
shoot pictures. There is nothing worse than spending
the day taking new photographs and then realizing that
your camera had the wrong settings.
Mobile phone --> Menu --> Camera icon
--> Adjust --> White balance.

White balance shows 4 options.
1 Automatic
For most mobile phones it is automatic, but the mobile
phones on the higher price range have other in built choices.
2
Sunny
3
Incandescent
4
Fluorescent
Through your view finder see the difference by
selecting each option.

How do you correct your white balance?

Unless a camera is over 5 mega pixels it may not have
the support features to allow it to take publication
quality photos.

With a digital camera, you can control
the white balance more easily than a traditional
film camera. You will need to
adjust your white balance to every different
lighting condition you encounter. Set it to Automatic
to play it safe unless you get blue or green tinge.

If you don’t check the white balance prior
to taking your pictures, you will be very
upset when they don’t appear as you
thought they would. Remember that it is
very hard to correct the white balance
once the pictures have been taken!
