These days, everyone seems to take photos with their phone. So let’s take a look at how to get the best photos with your phone.

1. Plan your photo.

First, identify your subject. Place the subject a little bit to one side, not in the centre. 【小题1】 Lines from walls, sidewalks or fences can point to the subject, creating an interesting picture. But make sure the background is not too busy. You don’t want the subject to get lost.

2. 【小题2】

Have you noticed that you get more blurry(模糊) photos with your camera phone than with your usual camera? It’s not your imagination. The shutter speed is slower, and you can’t vary the exposure settings. So for best results, hold the phone as still as you can.

3. Provide enough light.

【小题3】 Artificial lights tend to be dim (光线暗淡的) and can sometimes turn objects strange color. Even if your phone has a flash, it is probably pretty weak. If you need a flash, move very close to make sure it hits the subject.

4. Optimize (使最优化) the camera settings.

【小题4】If there’s an ISO setting, take it off Auto. When you’re outdoors in daylight, set the ISO to its lowest value to minimize the digital noise in your picture. Likewise, you might have some control over the JPEG image quality. Always go for the best quality option available.

5. Don’t zoom in (拉近)

When the subject is far away, most people try zooming in. This looks fine on a phone’s small screen. 【小题5】Instead of zooming in, try standing closer until the subject almost fills the picture.

Starting college is a difficult transition for many students. Here are some ways to make the transition a little bit easier.

Have an open mind.

Especially if you are going to a bigger school, it’s important to have an open mind. 【小题2】 Yet when you get to college, there are people from all over that have different views on things and act in a different way.

Stay focused.

【小题3】 . It is so easy to get caught up in your social life and forget about the academics. Remain focused on your schoolwork and figure out what you want to study, but be sure to have time for social activities as well.
