Everybody takes pictures with their cell phones. I see thousands of them on Facebook alone. Cell phone cameras have improved since the early models. You always have them with you so it's possible to capture anything from cute shots of your kids and pets to shot for the People of Walmart.
Here's a few tips to make your cell phone pictures better:
1.) Get down to the level of your subject. I see lots of pictures of kids and pets that have been made looking down at them. You want a picture of their faces, not the top of their heads. So sit down, squat down, get down.
2.) Don't get too low. If you sit on the couch or floor and take a picture of adult subjects standing up with a ceiling light on, the light will produce a glow at the top of the picture and you will be looking up the peoples noses, not to mention that when they look down at you, they might have double chins!
3.) If you zoom in, you will lose light and that meets the camera will take the picture slower and the picture will be slower. it is always better to walk closer to your subject than to zoom.
4.) Due to the type of lens in a cell phone camera, some subjects may appear distorted. This is especially true with horses. The horse will appear to have a big head and a little rear. Just plain funny looking. Try taking the picture from a profile to avoid this distortion.
5.) Finally, cell phones crash. Print your pictures so years from now when your phone is totally obsolete of has been run over by your car or lost or whatever, you will still have your pictures because those precious moment cannot be replaced.
