Episode # 1 of our column "how to take better photos with iPhone". Today I will tell you how avoid photos blurry because they are a very common problem basically due to three factors:
- trembling hand
- wrong focus (or autofocus that fails)
- motion blur
In this video I will explain everything and also give you an advice for DO NOT THROW AWAY blurry photos: you can use them thanks to some simple editing apps!
Everything you need to know is shown in the video you find above: in the rest of the article, however, there is only a summary of the video. I strongly advise you to watch the video because it is much more complete and precise.
Wrong focus: how to fix it
The focus of iPhones works very well: the autofocus is really smart but in some conditions it can have problems or not be as fast as the human eye. What can happen then? It may happen that you have a situation similar to the following:
In this case the focus is incorrectly concentrated on the object in the background (in the first image) rather than on the one in the foreground (i.e. the cat, corrected in the second photo). To solve just touch with a finger on the object that interests us to focus correctly.
Here's another situation:
As you can see, with iPhone you can decide where and how to set the focus. You can too lock the focus: to do this, press and hold your finger on an area of the screen and a yellow box with written "Blocco AE / AF". What does it mean? It means that area is in fixed and continuous focus, then any subject that passes into that area will be in focus.
Shaky hand
One of the main reasons for blurry photos is the shaky hand (especially at night). To avoid shaking while taking a photo you can use some tricks and the right grip which I showed you in the video above. Or, better yet, use a nice one tripods for iPhone.
Motion blur
The effect Motion blur is when the subject you want to photograph is in continuous movement and cannot sit still (for example an animal). This can lead to a blurry part of the photo.
In this case the only way you can avoid this problem is to stabilize the subject or, if you can't, use it continuous shooting with iPhone and then choose from among the many photos the one that came out better.
How to transform blurry photos
If you have a blurry photo you can also decide not to delete it. Making a photo editing is not easy, you will not be able to remove the blur: rather you can opt for transform the blurry photo applying a nice effect like a texture.
To do this, there are many apps that are right for you:
- Prisma
- Photoshop Express
- iColorama WILL
- Lightroom
- Snapseed
