The fact that mobile photography is fashionable and has gained more followers than we could have imagined is not something new, and we have also discussed it in other articles, what you may not know is the amount of accessories available to make the most of mobile photography. Experience.
If mobile photography is your thing, as a first choice or as an alternative to SLR, take a look at all these possibilities, surely some will seduce you:
- Every day.
- The photographic quality of smartphones increases.
- Although its sensors are far removed from those of an SLR.
- However much megapixel they advertise.
- They each have manual controls that allow greater control over the shot to be performed.
- This is due.
- For example.
- To the possibility of long exposure.
- Note that only some smartphones have these features.
- But if yours is one of them.
- A tripod will be an excellent ally to take a new step in photography with your mobile.
And if you don’t have those features, what’s the use of it, mainly to appear in the photo. If you are aware of what a photo with the human factor earns and do not have a model at hand to include in the image, place your tripod, timer and be your own protagonist.
Group photos that you cannot miss, time lapse, videos or self-portraits with the first camera of the mobile, are some of the possibilities that a tripod also offers you.
You can take a look at it and if you want a recommendation, take a look at it:
What about those with magnetic legs to place in implausible positions?
The Magi brought me some, so far I have not had time to test them in depth, but from what I managed to shoot I panicked, for the price they have (which does not reach 13 euros) the game they give is brutal. There are many models to choose from. Very easy to use, they are fixed with a clip or clip and let themselves be shot.
Later I will publish another more detailed article about these goals (you can see it here), for now I took some photos to show you what they can do, sorry, they are not edited and they are taken only as an example, especially so that I can see how the macro works.
Self-portrait lover? Did you know that? It is a ring of light that simulates the Beauty Dish. One pinch, three intensities and ready to sublimate your beauty! Forget the mobile flash and avoid red eyes. It works with batteries. And you have it on Amazon for less than 11 euros. You also have it to charge with USB.
The smartphone, as you well know, is not just for taking pictures, so it is very, very easy to run out of battery at the least opportune time. You travel, walk or kick in the city and you have a really cool photo and just run out of battery, what a disappointment, right?Avoid it with an external battery, ready for emergencies!
What should you look for when buying one? Have the load you need, more or less the same as your smartphone; the type of charging port, USB or MicroUSB?Charging time if you have extras like LED lights like flashlight (at the same price?) and the life cycle of the flashlight, are the most important aspects.
On Amazon, you can choose from multiple models, even from about 10 euros.
And speaking of batteries, if you usually drive a lot, you may prefer a car charger, be careful, make sure the socket is compatible with your smartphone.
External battery or car charger, get hold of one, but what’s your most spectacular mobilization?Don’t miss the battery!
Did you know that a photograph doesn’t really exist until it’s printed on paper?Well, now you know. It’s no use taking hundreds and hundreds of photos to save on your mobile and one day falling into the water or breaking and missing a photo, well, those that are in the public domain because they’re on a social network. but try to print them directly and see how much quality is lost along the way.
A few weeks ago I told you about Instax Share here, but you have many other options, if you’re lazy to go and reveal it, think about it!
I remember very fondly (in fact this summer we did a session), the family afternoons where we placed the projector and saw the slides of the family photos, I still hear the click of the projector every time I change my photo and it makes me so happy If you have children sure that they will enjoy the experience, although among friends it can also be a great moment or to use it on a professional level , meetings, conferences, etc.
Here’s one option among others, it’s the artlii portable mini projector that costs about 70 euros on Amazon.
Do you have a blog and take product photos?Do you like to photograph little things and lack light?Do you have a shop and sell your products online?Or do you no longer know how to improve the menu of your restaurant or pastry shop?I’m sure this folding light box fits you. It is also useful for your SLR, the only thing is that because of its size, the items to be photographed can not be very bulky.
You can find it on Amazon (now) for about 10 euros. Includes a micro USB cable to connect. Although there are more sizes and prices, of course ?.
When I came across this, I have to admit it was pretty mind-blowing and I’d love to try it, but since I don’t have any of these three things, for now I have to wait, but if you’re a star lover, marvel at your binoculars or like to study insects under the microscope, you really like it.
The truth is that photographing the moon up close for only 12 euros is testing it, don’t you think?
I end this one that seems essential for all those who risk our smartphone to unsuspected limits (talking water) to take a photo: water sports, cute babies on the beach, jumps of your friends in the pool, brightness of children in the bathtub or the like are some of the most common risks for your smartphone, put it in this case and only remove it when you go to put the photo , although you can also take photos of the interior but the plastic will reduce the quality. , yes, if the splashes are too close should you lose quality and not your smartphone?It is submersible, although before putting your cell phone in the water in this case I would do the test and it is to put toilet paper inside and immerse it for a few hours in a bucket with water. If the paper dries, you may want to consider taking pictures (underwater).
For less than 10 euros, you can save your smartphone from a tragedy, interesting, right?
