Amateur Photography with a Cellphone

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to enjoy taking photos and to share your snaps with the whole world. All you really need is a cellphone with a decent camera, preferably at least 8 Megapixels.

The best way to get your photos seen is through social media platforms such as Instagram, Faceboook, Twitter and Snapchat. As well, if you are looking for exposure, post on blogging sites and photo blogging sites and all kinds of writing sites.

What I enjoy most about the photos I take with my phone is that they are not in the least perfect in a professional sense. However, they are unique because of the flaws. For example the photo I posted here is imperfect because it’s not straight, it’s tilted. The sun is shining too brightly, but it makes for a nice Instagram photo anyway. It’s difficult being a professional because it takes a lot of skill and patience to get the perfect shots. As an amateur you don’t need to worry about perfect exposure or lighting, you can take snapshots of your life on the go very easily.

If you want to improve your cellphone photography skills I suggest 5 easy tips:

  1. Take photos of flowers and see how the focus works, what the colors are like, play around with the zoom.
  2. Take photos of buildings and see how the details look in the photo.
  3. Don’t be afraid to edit the photos with the editing software on your phone or on Instagram.
  4. Don’t expect amazing results although it is possible to have great quality photos. It takes time to learn to take great photos.
  5. Take easy shots first. Don’t try to take photos at night, it probably won’t turn out great.

Finally, don’t forget to have fun with your photos. Play around with editing features and post your photos all over!

Here is a photo of a German house in a small village. I made it black & white just to see what it’s like. Experiment!

I am in no way an expert on anything photography related but I enjoy being an amateur photographer.

    • Good tips for aspiring photographers. There are plenty of places online where you can sell your photos and earn extra income. As for me though? I have resigned myself to the fact that there are two things for which I do not have the gift: gardening and photography. I suck at both!! :)
