What are the most important tips and tricks for shooting outside?
1- Timing is everything
What feeling do you want your photo to convey? Warmth? Then you might need to shoot during the golden hour. Fanciness and exquisiteness? Then you might choose a beautiful spot to capture your photo at night. Dreamy? Then you might need to wait until it’s cloudy or until the rain pours down. Every time would tell something.
2- Clean your lens
Yes, it’s as simple as that. You might capture a perfect shot and take every opportunity to come up with a beautiful photo, and then it turns out to be a blurred or unclear one because your lens is not clean enough. Make sure to clean your lens and have it ready before capturing your photos. A washed piece of microfiber cloth or a clean tissue will do the work for you.

3- Maintain your camera stability
For your photo to avoid being blurry or fuzzy, you need to keep your smartphone stable. If you find it hard to keep the camera stable while holding it with your hands, you can simply use a tripod or a stabilizer.
4- Get low for landscapes
While you are trying to get the most out of outdoor photography, you need to consider some different postures for the different types of pictures. For the landscape, consider bending down to take your photograph of a beach, sand dunes, forest, or any other natural scenery. Showing the elongated foreground will complement your photo by adding more depth and showing more details. Enhance those kinds of photos by using the panorama mode in your HONOR Magic4 Pro to add more depth to the photo.

5- Think about the battery!
This might seem too ridiculous to say. However, we sometimes got surprised that our batteries run out in the middle of enjoying capturing some good scenery. Hence, you need to think about the battery life if you wish to enjoy some uninterruptible outdoor photography. As mentioned, HONOR Magic4 Pro grants you with long-lasting battery that will stay with you throughout a full day of shooting.
6- Don’t be frustrated with the sun
Handling the sunlight could be the most challenging part of outdoor photography. However, it could be as simple as keeping the sun behind you. Or find a partly shadowed place to make use of the sunlight while avoiding over-exposure. It’s not also recommended to start shooting under the harsh sun, wait until it goes down a little bit in order to avoid ruining your photo.
7- Think about the composition
Imagine your photo in your head before capturing it. That will help to picture the composition beforehand. First, think about your focal point. Which subject or element would you like people to see first in the picture? Place this focal point in the picture. Sometimes you need to place it in the middle of the picture. Other times it’s great to clear the center of the picture and place the subject on either side to form a more interesting composition using other elements.
Now, you can assign complementary elements in your photo to complete the scene. Now, turn on your phone camera and capture it. Keep taking many pictures until you capture the best one.

8- You won’t go wrong with composition rules
Composition rules, such as the rule of thirds, golden ration, symmetry, and other photography rules will help you take the most amazing photos. It’s easy to be learned especially since most smartphones nowadays have leading lines in their camera settings, which divide the screen into 9 equal parts, helping you make use of those rules in an attainable way.
HONOR Magic4 Pro comes with leading lines to help you with implementing the composition rules the best way you can.

How can you set up your phone camera for mobile outdoor photography?
Before you start shooting, think for a while about what settings you need to consider in your smartphone’s camera in order to come up with the perfect shot. Here are our thoughts on how you get your smartphone’s camera ready in order to achieve an outstanding photoshoot.
• Adjust focus
Focus helps with concentrating on your focal point or the main subject that you want to drag people’s eyes toward it. That, in return, will grab all the lighting to be focused on the subject complementing the quality of your photo.
• Adapt exposure
Especially for the outdoor photography, you need to consider adapting the exposure aspect, in order to have clear balanced-exposed photos.
And while adjusting your exposure, don’t forget to control it with the ISO. In low light conditions, consider higher ISO and longer exposure for the best lighting adjustment.
Those settings are easy to control on your HONOR Magic4 Pro. You will find it easy to navigate through the settings and change conveniently.

• Keep your flash off!
I know you’re probably trying to take a perfect shot at night, but you fail each time because of the low light that compromises your photo clearness. You try to use the camera flash in order to give your photo a dose of light to shine. However, your picture never ends up the way you like it to be.
Why? Because the built-in flashes are not able to cover the whole area in the picture with its lighting. So, your photo usually ends up dark or unvivid, or maybe some elements in the picture are not shown at all. The solution is easy. You either choose some places with good lighting, or you use other lighting sources, such as ring flashlights.
• HDR would be your option!
When it comes to outdoor photography for landscapes, HDR is a good choice, as it complements your photo by enhancing the contrast and making your photo a little bit clear and more vivid. It would be perfect if you make use of the HDR option while capturing during the daylight, especially if it’s sunny and bright.
