One Step to Improve Your Phone Photos


Ever since the invention of the cell phone with a camera, the amount of photos taken every day have jumped higher and higher. It has made almost everybody an amateur photographer, almost even a hobbyist.

Unlike other articles on improving your mobile phone photos, I am not going to talk to about composition or quality.  One thing I have been noticing is this “fog” over many mobile photos posted on social media.

Most of us are handling our phone all the time. We are texting, emailing, and posting, we are putting the phone in and out of our pocket and our purses. What this does is put fingerprints and grease on the lens for our mobile phone camera. So next time before taking a picture just give it a quick wipe with your t-shirt or other soft cloth and then take your photo. It will clear right up. If you want to test it, do a before and after photos.

Whether you have an expensive camera or just use the camera on your phone, cameras always need a little care.
