How To : Take Tumblr pictures with your phone
Decide on your Subject
Focus on one specific
subject. Tumblr pictures tend to focus on a single subject in a simple setting,
or we usually call that minimalism.
Avoid the Zoom Feature
Digital zoom enlarges the
picture but it leads to pixilation or blurred images. If you want a close-up
shot, simply move closer to your subject.
Lighting
Make sure your light is
always behind you and in front of your subject. Unless you’re shooting a
sunrise/sunset or a similar scene, your subject should always be illuminated,
not backlit.
When taking pics indoors,
experiment with your subject placement. Repositioning your subject will help.
When taking pics outdoors, try to avoid direct sunlight.
The Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a
photography technique where you mentally separate your picture into a
three-by-three grid, then position important elements of the picture to
intersect the grid lines. This technique is deemed more pleasing to the eye
than placing a subject in the middle of the screen, because it will look
awkward.
You can enable a
three-by-three grid for most phones' screens in the “Camera” section of the
“Settings” menu.
Main Focus
Your main subject should be
the main focus of your picture, keeping in mind the rule of thirds.
Surrounding Areas
The areas surrounding your
subject are also important, Even though your subject should be the most in
focus, it shouldn’t be the only thing in the frame.
Take More Pictures
It's better to take too many
pictures than too few. From those pictures that you took, you can choose the
best one and move on to editing and uploading them!
