When my phone camera takes better photos than your DSLR(Part 2)

In my earlier post, I showed 5 photos that were taken by a phone camera. This post will also be like that post. I will be telling you how I took the photo and what I saw before I clicked. Seriously, its not the gear, its how you see things.

1. Silhouette and Framing. I actually saw the framing and ask my husband with my son to get in place so I can capture their silhouette along with it. It would have been nice if it was just trees and the color of the ocean, but I wanted to make my picture pop(more impact), thus silhouette. I happen to have available model by my side at that time.

2. Find a different Angle. I could have a photo of the Taj Mahal just like every other tourists that came and visited. But I wanted to come home having a photo that is somehow unique. I went to the other beautiful building near the Taj and the archway that frames the Taj created a photo that I wanted. Dont be afraid to look for a different angle. Experiment.

3. Look Up! Change your perspective.

4. Let Colors overwhelm your Frame. I could have taken the tree trunk in the frame but I did not. The sky was white at that time and the pink flowers contrast the white background was so hard to mess up.

5. Scaling. You'll let people know how big a place is by putting human model to scale against it. It makes the photograph more interesting than just having the view.

Again,all photos were taken by my iphone 6 camera. Let me know if you have any more questions,Id be happy to interact!
