High-quality photos are essential for a strong social media presence, but getting those photos isn\u2019t always easy. This article takes you through the basics of mobile phone photography so you can take your course or club\u2019s social media marketing to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

High-quality smartphone photos are crucial for an effective social media presence, but it can sometimes be hard to get a photo that\u2019s good enough to share it with the world. This article outlines the basics of technique and composition that will turn your feed from grainy mediocrity to gallery-worthy influencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Details<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean the Lens<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may sound like an overly obvious piece of advice, but it\u2019s surprising how many people overlook this when they take a photo on their smartphone. Even a single fingerprint or a mote of dust on the lens can cause the picture to blur, giving it a hazy, unprofessional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily clean your lens with the same cloth you use to wipe your glasses, or even a soft cotton tee shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the Focus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most smartphones have an auto-focus feature, which is generally very good at identifying the main focus of the image. However, it\u2019s not perfect, so it\u2019s always safest to set the focus yourself. This is extremely simple; all you have to do is tap on the subject you want to focus on, and the camera will adjust itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the Exposure for Perfect Brightness <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On smartphones, photos often turn out to be too bright (over-exposed) or too dark (under-exposed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, this is just as easy as setting the focus. In fact, it happens at the same time! When you tap on the screen to focus, if you keep your finger on the screen, an icon on a vertical bar will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply slide up or down to make the photo brighter or dimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"photoExposure\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Digital Zoom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all seen one too many pictures like this on Instagram:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an interesting sculpture, but it just looks so bad.<\/em> Even though almost every cell phone camera comes equipped with digital zoom, very few are effective. Unless you have a smartphone with a telephoto lens<\/a>, just step a bit closer to the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keep It Steady<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another culprit of blurry photos is a shaky hand. The hard thing is that it doesn\u2019t take a lot of movement to make the photo out of focus; even a small shake for a fraction of a second can ruin it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to avoid this is to steady your hand on something, like a railing, rock, or your friend\u2019s shoulder (seriously!), or invest in a tripod, which can be incredibly inexpensive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master the Use of HDR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Sometimes it seems impossible to get a good photo out of a high-contrast scene\u2014one where there are both very bright and very dark areas. Thankfully, most phones<\/a> come equipped with a setting to compensate for this. It\u2019s called HDR, which stands for High Dynamic Range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, the camera takes three photos: one that\u2019s over-exposed, one that\u2019s under-exposed, and one at normal levels. Through some software magic, those images are combined into one photo that gets one beautiful, evenly-lit makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Android phones this appears as an option at the bottom of the screen in the Camera app, but on iPhones it can be a little trickier to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On most iPhones, the camera automatically decides when to use HDR, which means that sometimes it might not detect when you actually need HDR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make HDR always available, open the Settings<\/strong> app from the home screen, and select Camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mobile<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Turn Smart HDR <\/strong>(Auto HDR on older iPhones) off<\/strong>. If it\u2019s on, you won\u2019t have the HDR option in the Camera app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also turn on<\/strong> the Keep Normal Photo<\/strong> to make sure that your phone saves a non-HDR version of the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule of Thirds<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have seen grid lines on your phone\u2019s camera and wondered what they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those lines are there to help you create a beautiful photo, following the Rule of Thirds. The \u201crule\u201d states that the main subject should be off-center and touching the lines of the center square. Sound confusing?\"Rule<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not, really. All you have to do is make sure your subject is touching the lines of the central square. In the picture above, the photographer has aligned the golfer with the right vertical line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When taking photos on your smartphone, it isn\u2019t as important which of the inner lines you choose as that you do choose one. When filming or taking pictures of people, you generally want their eyes to be on the upper line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn People Toward the Light<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone sees a pretty sunset they think, “It’s beautiful! Take a picture of me standing right in front of it.\u201d This nearly always ends up with their face being too dark and shadowed. The same thing happens when someone is placed in front of a window or any other form of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"lighting_foreUP\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead, try turning them toward the sun or a window. You can see that the photo on the left is slightly hazy and shadowed. In the image on the right, she is turned toward the window which gives her a nice catchlight in her eye and the picture is bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Different Perspectives<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re taking pictures of people you generally want to shoot from chest height, but for that perfect shot of the course you can experiment with different angles and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, try lying down on the ground if you want to emphasize something in the foreground, like a grassy hill or a beautiful flower bed. Stand over a bunker and take a picture looking directly down, with just the edges visible so that it\u2019s hard to tell what you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of artful interpretation can gain you a huge following on Instagram, where people are constantly on the hunt for stunning visual content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Leading Lines\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leading line simply a geographic feature (a long green, a rock outcropping, a water feature) that leads all the way from the foreground to the background of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf course photography doesn\u2019t make a huge use of leading lines, focusing more on stunning aerial shots and focusing on flagsticks on vibrant backgrounds. While these are beautiful, leading lines are a much more powerful and visually compelling technique that will set your course\u2019s photography apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Small<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suggestions in this article are a collection of advice from golf photography experts. They\u2019ve devoted their lives to creating these kinds of photos, so if you don\u2019t turn out an Ansel Adams-worthy shot of your course on the first try, don\u2019t worry. Implement one technique at a time, and pay close attention to how the quality of your shots improves in the coming weeks. Your social following should grow, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing to remember is that everyone starts somewhere, and if you\u2019re starting from an entire library of blurry photos of your dog, that\u2019s ok. Give it time and practice, and before you know it you\u2019ll be taking photos like a pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
