Tips for Capturing the Best Holi 2024 Photos with Your Smartphone Camera
Holi 2024 is already here with everyone belting out their favorite Holi songs at the festival of colors. But you might also be interested in capturing the favorite moments you spend with loved ones. And for that, you need to be well prepared to handle the camera all day.
Luckily, smartphones these days are more than capable of helping you out in such situations, but even then, if you’re worried about taking pictures in a crowded space, we’ve got you covered with special Holi camera tricks and tips that will give you the perfect shot.
Versatile cameras Add sparkle to your photos
Your phone’s camera probably has an ultra-wide-angle lens and also a macro lens. Why not bring Holi’s big lenses and use its versatility to take some wide-angle shots or even click photos with massive depth and detail thanks to the macro lens. Go through the camera settings to click monochrome pictures, which is always a pleasure to see and add spark to visual memories.
Ensure lighting
Holi parties usually start during the day, when the lights are at their most extreme, so you should be careful when clicking pictures. Always make sure the light is facing the subject and not in front of it, and if you’re comfortable using the camera’s manual features, set the exposure to get the right amount of light in your photos. When you do it in auto mode, you have to tap the screen to lock the exposure level according to your needs. Reducing the exposure also gives brighter and more colorful images.
Click on Lots of Portraits
Don’t forget that Holi 2024 means spending quality time with your loved ones and what better way to capture these moments than getting them in a portrait frame. The level of depth and emotion you get in this mode is unparalleled. If you want to experiment more, there’s no better way than bokeh to keep things exciting. Not only do you capture the moment, but you can also easily customize its appearance.
The topic is hero focus
Holi celebrations can be hectic and leave you with very little time to click the perfect picture. But it’s important to have the right amount of detail in your photos, otherwise the photos will be wasted. Make sure the subject is in focus, stay composed while clicking the shutter so you don’t shake the camera when taking the shot.
Don’t forget Slo-Mos
What better way to capture the festival of colors than to show them in slo-mo. You can happily take photos, but videos add the x-factor in slow motion, giving you the perfect shot of color falling on faces or water balloons being thrown at people.
