Photo Tip
Avoid direct sunlight. Your subjects will be cooler,
happier, and more attractively lit if they don’t have a sunbeam hitting
them in the face. If it’s an overcast day, you’re in luck. This is one
of the best outdoor lighting situations for photographing people. If
it’s a sunny day, have your subjects stand in the brightest patch of
shade you can find. 
Choose the highest quality setting available so you lose less detail and don’t get a muddy photo. If you have to choose between resolution and a quality setting to save space—and it’s unlikely you’ll make prints—reduce the resolution.
Wait for the “magic hour.” During the times of sunrise and sunset,
the sky is colorful enough for even a camera phone to capture land and
sky with fairly good exposure Stabilize your camera phone. In low light, camera phones slow the
shutter speed to let in more light and have a longer opportunity to
capture movement. Hold the camera phone with both hands and brace your
upper arms against your body when you shoot.
