LIVING in the modern world often involves creating and preserving memories of the day using smartphones. This includes taking photos, particularly at night. Night shots provide a therapeutic experience for those passionate about mobile photography.
City lights and heartwarming nighttime views bring a sense of delight to many individuals, including Gab Mirandilla.
Currently, Mirandilla is a creative designer. In addition to his professional work that involves photography, he also enjoys capturing breathtaking views during the nighttime.
A representative from vivo asks Mirandilla for tips on how to take the best night photos using a mobile phone. Thankfully, vivo has released the Aura Portrait Master 3.0 with the vivo V30e as the latest phone in the lineup.
The vivo V30 Pro, co-engineered with Zeiss, V30 and V30e are all equipped with powerful cameras that can capture the beauty of the night.
Tips to achieve best night shots from Gab Mirandilla
Mirandilla listed six simple tips when taking photos during the nighttime. Outdoor photography may seem complicated, especially during the night, but these tips can help anyone with creative nightography outputs:
First, keep the phone camera lens clean. It's important to keep the lenses clean and free from moisture to achieve vivid shots. Whether using vivo V30 Pro, V30 or V30e, users can get clear night shots as long as the lenses are free from dirt. Clean the lenses from unnecessary dirt and particles by using a microfiber cloth. So, the lenses will not be harmed by scratches.
Second, enable grid lines to improve composition. Make sure to turn on the grid lines option to help take photos proportionally. The grids can help align subjects to get balanced shots, especially during the night. To turn on the grid lines using the vivo V30 5G, open the camera, click the settings button on upper right corner of the phone, then, look for the Grid lines # in the third row. Check if the button turns yellow to make sure it's on.
Next, adjust exposure using camera settings before taking a photo. The vivo V30 Series 5G's exposure can be adjusted before taking photos to ensure that pictures are neither too bright nor too dark.
To do this, simply tap the screen and adjust the brightness by pulling the sun symbol upwards or downwards to check how much light enters the phone camera before clicking the shutter. Adjusting exposure during the night plays a significant role in capturing views and portraits.
Fourth, seek out good lighting, preferably natural and diffused. It's important to always find good lighting, especially during the night. But when in areas with minimal lights, use the Aura Light 3.0 feature of the vivo V30 Series. To turn on Aura Light 3.0, click the flash button on top of the camera on the screen. Users can adjust the tone of the light by simply gliding the color palette button.
Fifth tip, experiment with various angles for unique shots. Angles are crucial when it comes to taking the best shots. Think out of the box, use creativity, or utilize the vivo V30 Series' 0.6x, 1x, 2x or 4x to focus on subjects or when taking wide shots. Check the buttons above the photo to try all angles that suit the user's perspective to get unique night shots that are worth sharing.
Lastly, utilize the built-in photo editor. Edit night shots right away. Use the vivo V30 Series' built-in photo editor. Just simply check the shots in the gallery and click the edit button below each photo to modify the framing, adjust the exposure and brightness, add filters, erase unwanted objects, add light effects or put on bokeh effects. By doing this, users don't have to go online or download editing apps to make minor adjustments to their night shots.
The vivo V30 Series promises exceptional performance, especially in photography. Capturing stunning night photos is effortlessly achievable with this series.
