 Tips bagaimana mengambil gambar dengan kamera HP

Fountain Portrait, England

Photograph by Dean Coe, 

In capable hands, a camera phone—the most widely used kind of camera in history—can produce compelling images. In this gallery, get tips for taking the best shots wherever you go.

A mobile phone snapped this shot of a young girl playing in a water fountain in Horsham West Sussex, England.

Photo Tip: Avoid direct sunlight. Your subjects will be cooler, happier, and more attractively lit if they don’t have a sunbeam hitting them in the face. If it’s an overcast day, you’re in luck. This is one of the best outdoor lighting situations for photographing people. If it’s a sunny day, have your subjects stand in the brightest patch of shade you can find.

Photo Tip: Choose the highest quality setting available so you lose less detail and don’t get a muddy photo. If you have to choose between resolution and a quality setting to save space—and it’s unlikely you’ll make prints—reduce the resolution. 

Storm Cloud, Canada

Thunder cell over Cochrane, Alberta. The storm rolled over the hills like an ominous blanket, producing frightening tornado warnings.

Photo Tip: Wait for the “magic hour.” During the times of sunrise and sunset, the sky is colorful enough for even a camera phone to capture land and sky with fairly good exposure.

Restaurant Table

Photograph by Bal Malla, 

As I was walking out of a restaurant I had an aha moment when I saw this empty dining table with the hanging light and colorful frames. All I had was my cell phone so I shot it.

Photo Tip: Stabilize your camera phone. In low light, camera phones slow the shutter speed to let in more light and have a longer opportunity to capture movement. Hold the camera phone with both hands and brace your upper arms against your body when you shoot. 

Mother and Child, Mumbai

Photograph by Samiul H., Your Shot

They were happy when I showed them the photo and I was happy 'cause I could give them a smiling moment. Taken at a traffic signal in Mumbai, India, from an auto-rickshaw using a mobile phone camera.

Photo Tip: When the background of your picture is cluttered and the lighting is questionable, fill the frame of your camera phone by moving in closer to your subject. 

Bicycle Taxi Driver, Indonesia

Photograph by Shariman Abdul Sofi, My Shot

Took this with my two-megapixel mobile phone camera during our vacation in Bandung in early 2008, from our chartered angkut (minibus) on the road.

Photo Tip: By mastering the technique of panning, you can create some very cool images. To do this, hold the camera phone with both hands—for steadiness—and frame the approaching subject on the LCD. Move the camera at the same speed as the subject, thus freezing the subject while the background is blurred through motion.
