Smart Tips: How to Take Awesome Smartphone Photos! 📲

How to Take Good Smartphone Photos

The built-in cameras in most smartphones are as good as, if not better than, many regular point-and-shoot digital cameras. Taking great phone pics takes a little effort, however. Here are some tips to get the shots you want:

• Remember the Rule of Thirds

This classic rule applies to all photography, including that done with smartphones. Essentially, this rule gets the subject of your photo out of the center of the shot. Centered faces or objects are boring, but put them slightly off-center, up, or down, and they become magical. To apply the rule of thirds, imagine two lines dividing your screen equidistant horizontally and vertically. Then place your subject of focus at one of the points where the lines intersect. This trick gives your picture that off-kilter, asymmetrical look of professional photos.

• Pay Attention to the Background

This is where amateur photographers often get into trouble. They'll look at the subject of the photo, but they'll ignore what's behind it. Is there an electric pole sticking out of someone's head? A busy parking lot? The background has a huge influence on the effect of a photo, so always look to see what's there, and move the camera around as necessary to adjust the background.

• Get Closer

The one drawback of smartphones is their limited zoom capability. Their lenses also tend to actually add some distance, making objects seem further away than they are. All of this means that you're going to need to get close to your subjects. The closer, the better.

• Don't Forget the Flash

Most smartphones have built-in flashes, so make sure to make use of that function when necessary. A flash is usually a necessity indoors, but you'll sometimes want to turn on the flash outdoors, as well. Using a flash even outdoors can help fill in dark spots on faces and eliminate shadows in mixed-lighting situations. If you're in a setting where the flash won't automatically go off because there's too much ambient light, go into your phone's camera settings and turn on the flash so it goes off whenever you take a picture. Experiment with flash settings and see what works best in different situations.

• Try Timers

Timers are particularly useful when taking self-portraits or group shots in which you want to be included. Apps like the Photo Timer (Apple iPhone, free) and the Camera Self-Timer (Android, free) let you set a countdown sequence, giving you time to pose and get your smile in place.

• Edit those Pics 

Sometimes it's not enough just to take a good picture -- you'll want to edit it, as well. A variety of smartphone apps allow for photo editing, and if you're serious about your smartphone photography, you might want to check into some of them. Some let allow for basic cropping and rotation, while others allow for more extensive edits like red-eye fixes and lightness/brightness adjustments.Photoshop Express is a good one to try (iPhone and Android, free).

Above all, experiment with your smartphone's camera. It might not be a DSLR, but it's fun, easy, and always available.

Dress for Emotional Success 💖 Your Clothing Choices Can Affect Your Mood!

       Our clothing style definately impacts the way that others see us. People that we meet for the first time make judgements and assumptions about our personality and lifestyle based on what we chose to wear that day. The "dress for success" principle is often emphasized during job training sessions.

It is important to dress meticulously when you are going to job interviews or to make presentations. Yes, our clothing style impacts the way others perceive us, but it also affects the way that we feel about ourselves. Here are a few tips on dressing for emotional success.

       First of all, dress in clothing that is suitable to your profession. If you work in a business office, professional attire such as dress slacks and blouses would be appropriate choices. Dressing in jeans or t-shirts gives your customer a less than optimal opinion of you and of the entire business.

This isn't fair or respectful of your employer. Dressing in professional clothing implies that you pay attention to small details, that you are successful, and that you are confident. Again, if you dress with confidence, you will begin to feel confident.

Second, dress in clothing that fits well. If you wear clothing that is too large, you tend to be pulling, tugging, or re-arranging portions of fabric most of the day. Not only is it annoying, but it also is distracting. Clothing that doesn't fit well looks sloppy and disorderly. That messy look can take the bounce right out of our step. Dressing in clothing that fits well makes us feel better and smile more!

When choosing clothing, make sure that it is appropriate for your age. When older women wear clothing that is styled and fitted for the younger crowd, it does nothing more than embarrass the wearer and most everyone that she meets. If you're older, you don't need to look dowdy and drab, but just don't head for the low rise jeans at The Gap. A more mature look will accentuate your body without making you look like you are trying to find the fountain of youth.

     Once you've chosen a wardrobe that makes you feel wonderful, go the extra mile and shop for some great accessories. Nothing says "old lady" faster than a pair of tan or navy SAS loafers. Comfort is important, but do Some extra shopping and find some shoes that are comfortable, but a little more trendy.

Find and carry a bag that is not ten years old. Accessorize your look with great necklaces and bracelets. These all can be found for affordable prices at places like Target.

Something that isn't clothing related, but still you related to the way that you feel about yourself is your hairstyle. Unkept and frizzy hair sends the message that you don't pay attention to details and that you are unkept. While this may not be true, it is still what people may think. A fun and trendy hairstyle implys that you are approachable, up to date, and fun. The style doesn't have to be anything outlandish, just neat and flattering to your face. 

Lastly, it is true that real friends and family will love you no matter how you dress. This article is not about your friends or family. It is about you and how you feel. Putting a little more style or fun into your wardrobe can be an ice breaker for those who are unfamiliar with you. Make the way that you dress a reflection of your personality. You aren't really all that boring, are you?
