Tip 1: E-mail your pictures:
While camera phones have arrived, sharing the digital photos from a phone isn't the smoothest process yet. Most carriers charge a fee (up to 75c in some cases) for each photo message or MMS you send.
If paying for picture messaging isn't your cup of tea, there's always e-mail, either from your phone or your computer (as long as you have a data plan for sending e-mail). For sending pictures to friends who don't have mobile phones capable of accepting images, or -- the horror -- don't have a mobile phone, e-mail is your only option.
The details will vary from phone to phone, but the basic concept is the same. To e-mail directly from your mobile phone:
1. Go to the picture gallery and select a picture to send.
2. Click options, then click Send.
3. If you previously saved the contact information, select the address from the phone book. Be sure to select the e-mail address from the contact information, not the phone number. Otherwise, you'll need to enter the e-mail address manually.
4. Insert a text message or an audio clip (optional).
5. Click send.
Tip 2: Change the filename on your phone:
Along with better images, megapixel phones offer more memory. You can store up to 200 high-resolution images on the Nokia 7610, for example, which means you'll have plenty of room for all the pictures you took on a weekend trip. But when it comes time to move those images to your PC, you'll find yourself staring at unruly filenames, such as pic150704_2.jpg. Yes, you can rename your files in Windows, but this can be tedious if you're transferring dozens or even hundreds of pictures at a time.
1. In camera mode, click Options, then Settings.
2. Select Default Image Name.
3. Enter a new name, then click OK.
Tip 3: Capture great shots :
One of the reasons people leave their pictures imprisoned in their camera phones is that they're disappointed with the shots they've taken. The images are too blurry or too washed out, or the perspective is distorted. In detecting details, film cameras and digital cameras are more limited than the human eye, and camera phones, in turn, are more limited than both film and digital cameras. For that reason, you not only need to apply basic photographic principles to get the best-looking pictures possible, you need to be aware of and know how to compensate for your camera phone's deficiencies.
Framing your shot : The camera phone is a great way to capture a spontaneous or otherwise unexpected moment. With that in mind, many people attempt to snap a picture without thinking about the composition of the shot. That's the wrong approach if you actually want to display your pictures in some fashion.
Use the entire frame : Any photographer will tell you that one of the most basic techniques is to use the whole frame. Many people tend to focus their attention on only the center of the frame or the main subject of the picture, while ignoring the rest of the scene. When you take the whole frame into account, you pay close attention to objects in the background or on the periphery of the image.
Place subjects off-centre : Another classic rule is to avoid placing the main subject in the centre of the frame. Placing the subject slightly off-centre gives a more interesting sense of space, as you can see in the difference between the two images below.
