Halloween offers plenty of colorful subjects to photograph: people in costumes, trick-or-treaters, jack o’ lanterns and scary displays. With a little attention to detail, your photos can capture the spine-chilling spirit of Halloween in addition to capturing memories. Here are ten tips and suggestions to enhance your digital photography on this horrific holiday.
Picjoy came into my life right when I needed it. I take so many pictures on my phone but when the time comes to share the photo or find it to show someone, I can’t. I scroll and scroll and scroll. Do you have this problem too? That’s why Picjoy is a L I F E S A V E R!!
What I love about Picjoy:
These things are so easy to do. Here’s a quick run-through of what I do as soon as I open the app (usually after a few events have occurred that warranted mass photo taking.)
I love taking and editing photos on my phone. As a mom on the go, I rarely have time to whip out my DSLR and take photos. When I do, the images stay safely on my memory card and I don’t see them for years. I heard this quote: “The best camera is the one with you.”
Here are my all time favorite photo apps (in no particular order) that I use to whip up a filter, cute saying, or scrapbook page (yes, scrapbook) on the go:
If you use Picjoy, you know that you can tell a story about your photos. Not only can you provide back-story, context, and insights through text entries, you can tell a larger story by using tags.
Tags categorize your photos. For example, you might tag pictures of your dogs “dog” and “pet” and pictures of your cats “cat” and “pet.” When you want to view only pictures of your dogs, you’d use the “dog” tag to do just that. Likewise, if you want to view only pictures of your cats, you’d use the “cat” tag. If you want to view pictures of both, you could use the “pet” tag (which you’d also use for pictures of your hamsters, fish, lizards, and other pets in your family).
Picjoy was created to help you better enjoy the thousands of photos you’ve taken over the years by making them accessible in one place, no matter where you’ve stored them. Gone are the days of having to hunt through your photo hoarding history to find a specific picture you know you have somewhere. To help make sure you are getting the most out of your Picjoy app experience, here’s a quick overview of what’s possible.
The camera on your smartphone is a technical marvel, capable of taking beautiful photos. It’s also much easier to use than the clunky cameras of the past. While you could simply point, click, and share, if you want to take the perfect picture with your phone, you’ll need to put slightly more effort into it. Don’t worry, the perfect picture is within your reach.
