Taking pictures on a night out with friends can sometimes be challenging with our Camera Phones. Many of us often times think that the presence of flash on our camera phone is just enough to produce decent shots, but this is not always true. The fact is that sometimes you don't even need to activate flash to take beautiful pictures at night. Listed here are some tips that can guide you through: ? Don't shoot into the light: you don't want to end up having the outline of the subject against the brighter background. ? You can enable flash provided the subject is not lighted up. ? If you have to use flash or a photo light, take the shots from 2-3metres away ? Ensure you have a white balance set for lights from bulbs to prevent your shoot from going orange. ? If your phone has a Night mode setting, enable it. ? Poses aren't necessary: some of the shots will be when people don't know you were snapping, so they are natural and have their own guards down Do you know that there is a Phone Doctor at every SLOT Store nationwide?
