Mobile phones now come with cameras that take excellent photos. If in the past camera phones took trashy pictures, today’s technology tells a different story. Cameras in smartphones increase the gadgets’ value by hundreds of dollars, and we’re not complaining.
As millennials take breaks from their city lives and glued-to-the-phone attitude, they put their smartphones to wise use when they engage in nature photography. This could be the same for those who are past the generation yet can’t live without their phones. Photographers encourage smartphone users to stop taking pictures and start taking photos. The difference? Knowing how to make something look as beautiful in the photo as it is in real life.
You don’t need fancy equipment to get the perfect shot. All you need is a good eye and an excellent understanding of your subject. To be able to succeed in mobile nature photography, take note of your landscape’s focal point. You need to have a point of focus for your viewer. Know what attracted you to take a photo of the landscape and zero in on it using the Rule of Thirds so you won’t have to literally zoom in on it.

Keep in mind the time of day you’re shooting. The best time is not at high noon, as it does nothing for your landscape. Make great use of dusk and dawn which are called the “Golden Hours.” Shooting at these times provides sufficient light to bring out the landscape’s patterns, textures, and dimensions. Consider your perspective as well—varied perspectives bring power to the images.
