Perfect Summer Pics: 4 Tips

Hi guys!

I don't know about y'all, but I love to capture moments around me! A great way to do this is to take some fantastic pictures. Of course, getting caught up in taking pictures isn't the best way to enjoy the moment, so these are some tips for taking excellent pictures. And, If you see the * symbol by a hack, it means that you can enable the feature in the top menu of your phone when in camera mode. This way, you can get a few shots that will look fantastic and you won't have to take that many. Then you can go ahead and continue to have FUN! Enjoy, and be sure to stay till the end for a *special starbucks hack!*

*Number One:

Use HDR! It is such great tool for taking 2 photos with different light exposures (one dark and one light) at the same time. This way, you can save time and not worry about messing with light options. Or, you could use the little yellow box that appear when you click the screen of your phone. Using this yellow box, you can push your finger up and down the screen to change the light. This is a fantastic way to spruce up a pic in a customizable way!

Number Two:

I have seen some super cute Insta posts that use this hack, so here it is. If you are taking a portrait, use a simple background so that the subject really is the center of attention. You could also find some really cool architecture that is a really cool background and shows here you are at the same time. Another easy tip is to off-center your subject because it is more natural and appealing.

Number Three:

Ok, if you really want to make a statement, a silhouette is the way to go. Silhouettes have a crazy way of making any moment more magical. Here are some simple tips to make sure that your silhouettes are top notch.

1) Shoot toward the sun

2) Shoot from a low angle

3) Pick a subject with strong lines

4) Don't pick a filter that changes the light

Number Four:

Another way to keep up with the latest trends is to post trending pics! Recently, I have been seeing some (ok, a lot) of pictures of Starbucks frappes all over the internet. Of course, there is not much to do but use these ^ skills make the picture perfect. The only problem is... these frappes can be *super* expensive for what they are. If you want to learn how to make one of these super cute fraps for cheap, (it still tastes great!), head on over to foodlovers post, and check it out
