We’ve all been there whether it’s an after party, backyard bonfire or an amazing moon. You whip out your smart phone to grab the shot and then things get complicated and blurry. Are you ready to step up your low-light photography game with just your trusty smartphone? Well, buckle up because Photobucket has got some tips and tricks that will have you taking stunning, Instagram-worthy photos in no time!
Don't be afraid to use that little flash on the back of your phone. Just make sure to aim it correctly so it doesn't wash out your subject or ruin the mood.
Just like with a traditional camera, get creative with the light sources around you. Use street lamps, car headlights, or even the light from your phone to add some extra light to your shots.
If your phone allows it, try increasing the brightness on your screen to help the camera see better in low light.
Hold your phone as steady as possible, or try propping it up on a surface to avoid camera shake. The steadier your phone, the sharper your photos will be.
If you have one, a tripod is a great way to keep your phone steady and avoid camera shake. Plus, it frees up your hands so you can focus on getting the shot just right.
When taking photos in low light, try getting in close to your subject to minimize the amount of background noise in the photo.
After you've taken your photo, don't be afraid to use editing tools to brighten up your photo or remove any noise. Just be careful not to overdo it and make your photo look unnatural.
The most important tip of all is to have fun and experiment. Don't be afraid to try new things, and remember that sometimes the most unexpected shots turn out to be the best.
So, there you have it! A few tips and tricks to help you take stunning low-light photos with just your smartphone. And remember, Photobucket is the best place to save, organize, edit and share your moody, low-light pics.
Get out there, find some dimly lit spots, and start snapping away! Who knows, you might just capture the next viral sensation. Have fun.
