I got a dumb request... not really sure if it goes here or not. But it's a passport photo.
I uploaded two photos taken in the middle of the night but with decent lighting (I was filling up gas).
The one with the car in it was taken with camera++ and I played with the exposure setting to make the colors "darker"
The one without it, I took with the default camera app with default settings.
The default one is a bit "over exposed? (unsure about term)" It is brighter is what I'm saying. But why is this a bad thing? I think it looks nice as well. I like how both turned out, but I don't have an eye for photo quality so what do I look for to make it better? Between the two, which is is "better" in terms of quality? I didn't want to make an account at a photo forum (I don't even know of one actually).
The other photos are during the day using default camera (so everything is up to camera to decide). Is there a setting I should try out that you guys would recommend? I got the camera++ app so I could manually set zoom (sometimes auto focus would jump out of focus before taking photo), but I feel like I'm not using it properly. I am pretty much happy with default settings but my photos don't look as good as the rest of you guys'.
if I should post in a photo forum to learn, what one is good?
edit: and I realize my hands kind of shake when I take photos, so the pictures come out fuzzy sometimes, it's always been like this for me even on normal dslrs. Phone just magnifies it because lens is closer to hands?
I saw this site
http://expertphotography.com/a-begin...o-photography/ but it doesn't tell me how to decide if a photo is "good" or not. I know if I want to focus on something, that should be "clear" but what else do I look for in the rest of the photo? Part of my problem is that it looks good on the screen so I assume the photo will turn out like it, but it doesnt. And I'm not sure why it isn't.
stay tuned got a shoot coming up this weekend.
