Some tips and tricks to help your way through with mobile photography have been published by Nokia for its users. No doubt that these encourage you to click. Nevertheless these are not tricks but a way around to get through the inefficient camera image processing by some Nokia devices. The following tricks only tell what, when and where to click. They are indifferent to How one should click to achieve the maximum picture quality. Most of the time the moments are of a few seconds and if you screw the first shot, you miss the moment forever. Well, after we read through what Nokia has to say, we here at The S60 Blog will tell you exactly how to achieve your mobile cameras full potential.

The Nokia Tips & Tricks of Photography (a mere excuse to inefficient cameras in mobiles)

According to us and Nokia more and more people opt for a mobile handset that offers excellent imaging capabilities in addition to advanced connectivity and mobility. As a result Phontography – the photography with mobile phones – is more popular then ever. Below are a few suggestions by TIPA – the Technical Image Press Association – on how to take better pictures with a handset. TIPA is Europe’s largest photo and imaging press association, and it was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit association of European photo and imaging magazines. The secret of a great company about the image capturing is just another casual approach, but some points are very cool in the sense they let you think out of bounds of the realms of a common man’s approach to photography.

1. The most important thing about phontography is to have fun and be yourself.
2. Find the shortcut to the camera function, so you can easily get trigger happy.
3. Don’t miss the moment – taking phontographs is free!  So snap away.
4. Don’t just sit there.  Move around your subject and take advantage of different light and angles.
5. Use the props around you – tables, chairs, flowers.
6. Go in close, always closer than you think.  For example, if you’re taking a head shot, you should be no more than an arm-length away.
7. Don’t be a skyscraper to children – kneel down or crouch so you’re on their level.
8. Only get fussy about composition if you’ve got the time.  It’s fair enough to take photos that are missing arms and legs.
9. Things that are no longer considered ‘wrong’ – a bit of blur, a spot of red eye, an odd angle to the shot.
10. You don’t always have to use the viewfinder — hold the camera in front of you or above your head to take the shot.
11. Explore the camera’s functions – like the macro lens for closeups, or different effects like sepia tones or black and white.
12. Remember … small is beautiful.  You can carry your handset with you all the time so your camera’s handy when you need it.
13. Don’t worry about editing when you’re out and about.  Sift through your photos later on.
14. Use your imagination – there’s no film to waste and practice makes better photos.
15. Taking pictures doesn’t cost anything. Always take several images and sort through them later.

This is what The S60 Blog think you should handle your device while clicking to get the best results on the very first shot.

1. Click with a steady hand.
2. Even after the click stay still in that position for 4 seconds.
3. For best results use proper lighting.
4. Any shot more than 20 cms close to sybject will blurr.
5. The night vision needs an extra steady hand, so be careful.
6. Never compare a digital camera with a mobile device camera
7. Always Smile

We hope that these simple but effective tips help you.
