Follow These GiftWorksPlus Tips to Get Great Photos with Your Camera Phone!

Take the best pictures you can – no matter what equipment you have.   Some of our favorite memories happen spontaneously. At GiftWorksPlus, we understand that you may not have a digital camera and tripod at those moments. To make sure you capture that perfect shot, GiftWorksPlus offers tips on taking great pictures on your camera phone or smartphone.   Cell phones with cameras are growing in popularity, and those cameras are growing in quality. To take exceptional pictures with your phone, it is important to consider a few principles of photography:  

1. Use your highest resolution and quality settings to maintain the fine details of the scenes, objects, and people to be captured, and stabilize the camera phone to prevent blurry images. Hold the phone with both hands and keep arms and elbows tight against your body.
2. Make sure the object or subject of the photograph is well lit while avoiding direct sunlight. In fact, the ideal outdoor lighting situations occur during cloudy days or during the magic hours of dawn or dusk.
3. Remember the rule of thirds: imagine a tic-tac-toe grid placed over your view and then situate the person or object on one set of intersecting lines. This adds more interest to the photograph. Additionally, fill the frame of the camera with the most interesting details so the background doesn’t distract from the main image.

  Don’t just leave those images on memory cards or in cameras, however! Print pics and display them in GiftWorksPlus custom personalized frames. Choose from engraved frames with single openings, personalized frames with several small openings, or design your own picture frame with your best shots. GiftWorksPlus alderwood frames are available in several sizes, including popular 5x7 picture frames, and in vertical or horizontal orientation.   Order custom designed frames at www.GiftWorksPlus.com or by calling 888-456-9878. Free personalization is standard and shipping is free for custom frames orders over $50.
