Photo tips to capture a great sunrise shot.
These tips are specific to a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, but can still be tested on other devices:
First things first, make sure to be ready to shoot 30 minutes before dawn. (And probably a good idea to set your alarm clock!) Nick suggests using a sunrise app such as LunaSolCal Mobile, which is available for free on the Google Play Store.
Make sure to crouch low or climb out on some rocks to find the best perspective and good light. (Wearing comfy pants will help with this.) Use natural elements to frame an engaging composition, such as trees, a body of water or even your deck.
In the camera app, tap the 'Settings' icon. Turn off Image Stabilization to customize camera settings. Tap the exposure icon and drop exposure down a few notches to boost hues and blacken silhouettes.
Not too complicated right?
Once you have it down, you might want to step up your photography game all together, so being equipped with the right accessories will ensure successful images for each adventure.
