Making the best out of shitty cellphone photos

Even though my camera is already compact, I'm the type of person that doesn't like carrying around a lot of things with them. I think I envy guys in that respect. At least they don't really have to worry about purses, which are expensive and cumbersome at times. Anyway, there are times when I'm going somewhere and I either forget to bring my camera or I just don't want to, so then I rely on my phone to capture any moments.

Not that my phone's camera is bad, but it's definitely not that great. In fact, my old Rhyme with its dinky 5 megapixels had better image quality than the S3, but that's just my opinion. I would've gotten the HTC One if it was available for Verizon since it seems like HTC knows whats up when it comes to cameras on phones. Grr...but that's a-whole-nother topic to talk about another day. My point is, I've had my gripes with cellphone quality photos, but sometimes it's all you have and it doesn't mean you can't make it work.

I'm no photographer, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I do find that pictures tend to look better on camera phones when you try taking things in a different perspective. Don't treat your phone like it's just a phone. Pretend you're holding an amazing, fancy SLR camera and WORK IT.
