The information here will help you when you take pictures with a phone.
You need it for that very moment you want to take a quick picture without having to mount a tripod.
Often, a sad feeling comes when you look at a picture you took in a hurry and it is nothing near what you saw before you took it.
It is not the phone that is the issue. It is about how you take your pictures with a phone. This is often a combination of how you hold your phone, how stable the grip keeps the phone and then how much time you allowed for the phone to focus.
Really, a tripod gives you what you need when it comes to phone stability during a photography session.
However, the fact that you do not have to begin to unmount a tripod when you want to take pictures with a phone calls for a skillful way of ensuring stability while holding your phone with your hand.
In this regard, holding the phone in a unique way, could give the same effect a tripod gives.
How To Hold Your Phone When Taking A Picture
Take a good look at the image below and see how your 2 hands are necessary for making good pictures with a phone.
Depending on which hand is your favourite, the hand that is not touching the shutter should grip the phone like a phone holder on a tripod would.
The reason is that to taking pictures with a phone, requires stability. If you do not have that stability the phone will shake at the point of touching the shutter button. That little shake will lower the quality of the picture you will produce.
Basically, the more stable your phone is, the better the image quality you produce with a phone camera.
That said, if you want to take the picture in a vertical dimension, you should grip the phone at the lower part. Ensure your finger is not in view before you take your shot.
Practicing this gripping technique over and over will help you master it.
Also, another thing to have in mind is that you should ensure that you allow the camera focus on the subject before you touch the shutter. This takes few seconds.
Unfortunately, if you hold the phone well and still did not wait for the camera to focus, your image will not be top notch.
