Capturing Moments Wk3: Spotting Differences In Mobile Camera Positioning

_{Edited using canva}

It's a new week and we are progressing steadily into getting a mastery of photography basics. So far, we've seen how to adjust our mobile camera in a way that can enhance pictures we take. If you're using HDR on, the picture would be bright and clear, but when HDR is turned off, it would be normal and clear.

For last week, we had only one entry @whizzbro4eva who ensured he did justice to the assignment questions. He showed us the icons on his mobile device and how these icons can be used to recreate quality pictures for use on Steemit. As the only participant, I give him the winning prize.

This week is going to be very practical, as we'll be making a lot of observations and just an application using our mobile device. A quick tutorial would be on how to capture moving objects without making them blur, how to position your hand when snapping pictures, and how to identify a good mobile camera positioning. Let's start with motion objects.

How to capture moving objects or people without making them blur?

It's quite difficult to capture a moving object without it getting blurry. You can actually make this possible by making your phone still. When your hands are shaky, it's difficult to capture a moving object without it becoming blurry. If it's a person, it's quite easier compared to a moving vehicle.

To make this perfect, you must hold your phone firm and stable, target the moving object, tap on your camera to focus, and then click on it with a fast pace. I do recommend using the camera icon other than portrait to snap.

These are common errors encountered while taking motion pictures. These are my perfections. You can try this.

How do you position your camera in a way that enhances pictures?

For best positioning when capturing a person, hold your mobile camera in a way that if you're capturing someone that's standing, your camera won't be on the person's face if it's a portrait shot or be below the person's knees if it's a full picture. Your hand should be placed around your chest no matter how the person stands.

It depends on the height of the person and yours. For you, the camera shouldn't be above your face or on your face, and it shouldn't be below your abdomen if you're standing. If the person is much taller and you're giving the full picture, you apply the same position, but if it's portrait, you can take it above your head a bit while maintaining focus.

N/B: Don't bend your phone while capturing pictures. If you're using landscape mode, which is the appropriate mode for pictures on Steemit, use the same position in a way that the person is contained in your device and not cut. If one is sitting down and you're above the person, don't stand to capture.

Adjust your height to fit the height of the person sitting to capture well. These are just a few tips. Application time.
