Phone pictures blurry?

When using smart phone cameras, the number one complaint from people is that their images are blurry. Try these quick tips the next time and see if your images come out much clearer…

Tip 1 – Light your subject right Go outside, get closer to a window, or move into the available light in the room, the better lit your subject is the crisper the image will turn out.

Tip 2 – Hold still, and use both hands.  Our smart phones can be so small and lightweight that we find ourselves shooting pictures one handed.  The movement from your hand can cause blurry images.  Next time try holding the camera with both hands and holding it very still. You’ll be surprised what a difference it can make.

Tip 3 – Clean your lens!  Smart phone cameras can get gunky lenses quickly when we keep them in our pockets, purses, cup holders in the car, and let the kids play with them. Clean your lens each time you take a pic and your pictures will be much clearer!

5 Things To Avoid With Your Smart Phone

Feel free to share these helpful smart phone photo tips with your friends!

1.  Avoid full sun. Few people look good while squinting, plus it’s unflattering light.

2.  Be aware of your background to make sure there aren’t things (like trees or photo bombers) that could look like they’re sprouting out of your subject’s head or body.

3.  Don’t shoot from low angles. It’s just not flattering.

4.  Avoid dark areas. You want to be able to see your subject.

5.  Use the rule of composition. Try not to put your subject dead center of your shot.
