Technical Stuff

1) Camera Access
Find the fastest way to access your camera.

Shortcut, swipe, shake? Every second counts

2) Focus Switch

Pay attention to the focus of your camera. Tap on your screen to change the focus.

3) Cropping

It's best to frame your photos live. If you miss the opportunity, do it in editing. Cropping can make a big difference in a photo.

4) Rule of thirds

Turn on your grid in the settings to have guiding lines to help frame your photographs

Get Creative

1) Work those angles!

Moving around your subject can have a remarkable difference. The lights/shadows/galre shifts as you move

2) Find natural frames

Look around and see if there is a window or a formation with a gap that will allow for a frame type of composition

2) Editing

Use the editing feature on your phone to add a touch or use a filter. Snapping a photo is only a part of the creative photography process.

My favorite editing app is Lightroom Mobile.
