The following material will be embedded in an interactive presentation, which will offer 10 tips and tricks on how to take good photographs with a smartphone.

1. Clean the glass of your lens

It may sound obvious but very often we neglect to clean the lens of our smartphone. Having a dirty lens is like having a dirty window in your house, the outside environment will always look ugly.

Remember: A photo taken with a clear lens will always be better than a photo taken with a dirty one.

Use your t-shirt or some other soft cloth to clean the lens.
Be careful when you are on the beach or in dusty conditions to blow the lenses before cleaning them. This way you remove any dirt that may scratch the lens.

2. Turn on your Grid

A simple tip to enhance your photos is to turn on the camera’s gridlines. Ιn this way lines divide the screen into three parts horizontally and vertically, creating nine areas.

Τhis way you can use the rule of thirds. Ιn general, this rule dictates that the subject of our photo should ideally be at the points where these lines intersect. This way your photograph will look more natural and balanced.

This is a general rule that is effective but like all rules, it is nice to break them occasionally. So do not be so strict in its application.
