Top 10 Smartphone Photography Beginner Mistakes

Smartphone photograph mistake #1: Thinking that the pictures taken by the handheld computer with an imaging component qualifies as "photography". It is more like "computational art". When photographers do as much as possible to "own" the photo and pretend they are the most important component of the effort, the smartphone ignores them.

These are very useful tips. Thank you!

Pro tip: Use Open Camera with Android and turn off processing of camera

I currently have a 12 pro and want to upgrade soon. I have tmobile. I want a good astrophotography phone. What would you get? I'm looking at s23 ultra and 14 pro, 15 pro and pixel 7's although i am confused if they're all bad with overheating caused by g2 chip or only certain one gets hot easily.

My Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro camera app allows me to manually change all the settings in pro mode,like EV and Shutterspeed. Is it a good idea to change them? I can also change the ISO.

Thanks for interesting video. A trick I like to use if a group of people are looking wooden in a pose is to slowly lift one leg up. This causes a reaction of amusement or shock and often makes for more interesting faces .

Thank you so much for your Beautiful Explanation 😊
Will add Snapseed for editing...

Amazing video

Can you make another video for "complete beginners"? I don't know what "composition" or "shortening" means

So for the times when using a smartphone in landscape mode. How do you go about editing to fit with Instagram ratio.

Wow che professionalità, non mi aspettavo un video cosi ben fatto da merano ahah

Thank you

Thank you for: 1.For not having background filler sounds, music, or gimmicky animations. 2.For no grimacing or distorted gesticulation in video thumbnail. 3.For speaking in an adult, calm tone of voice, eschewing the 'breathless emergency' vociferation recently popular on tutorial videos. Great video, best luck.

Dead on with the pro tools on your cellphone not getting enough attention! The #1 question I answer after people are shocked that I take all of my pics with my cellphone is "Why don't my cellphone shots look like this?" It's normally because they are not reducing the exposure on their shots and just taking pics with the auto feature. Cellphones are designed to intentionally bring in too much light because the cellphone companies are anticipating non-photographers taking pics of friends and objects in the foreground, so the aperture on the phone camera brings in too much light as compensation. Just tapping the screen and lowering the exposure helps so much! Thanks for the video, learned a lot.

Smartphones are NOT made to be held so get a holder with a tripod socket and a hand pod or small tripod. ( these are cheap) You will find it much easier to take both photos and smooth video. And use the vocal commands 'smile' and 'record video' (if available') so you don't need to touch the phone at all - you can set it up, stand back and give the command. How I wish my CAMERAS had this feature! Great Video Mountmedia!

I’m a kid and I always do the picture duty in my family, this vid helps me a lot with my iPhone 8+

These are great tips, thank you!

an updated video for the iphone 14 pro raw mode

IMO taking pics with your phone is the same as making a telephone call with a DSLR or else. Makes no sense.

Is me

explained easily with that soothing voice, thank you!

I love this video and have added it to my photography playlist. I'm a total beginner and want to take full body pictures indoors (usually in the evening after the sun has set) to document alternative fashion and historical fashion outfits. I recently bought a new smartphone (samsung galaxy A52s) to replace my older one from 2014 (motorola moto G2). I learned about the features in my new smartphone camera. But after two practice sessions I couldn't get clear photos so I've given myself photography homework. Probably my lighting situation still isn't good enough (I've got 2 lamps and a white bed sheet as a backdrop).
The people in my community make it look easy, and they say "just experiment". I didn't expect it to be very easy, photography takes time and effort and studying and years of getting better after all, but it is turning out harder than I thought.

👌

Great tips, thank you

Dear Sir
I watched all videos of yours and big fan of your elaboration technique

Very well explained and to the point. Love the simplicity of your explanation.
Much needed video. Great work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi MountMedia! I've been creating videos just like that! I came by to ask if you could review my video about Smartphone Photography! If you could drop a comment on how to improve it, it would really help me in a long run! I will be uploading another video tonight (8pm UTC +8)

Love your tutorials
