Viewing photos on your phone, computer or tablet is completely different from viewing a print
The main reason for this is simple, light!
Phones, computers and tablets all contain their own light source from behind which transfuses your photo with light. However when printed, your photo will rely on an external light source in order for the image to be viewed. This means that paying a little extra attention to light and shadow becomes important if you wish to print your holiday snaps. Capturing happy moments with your camera or phone has become a major part of every holiday, weekend away or evening out.
Light in photography is the most important but difficult element
The advent of camera phones and pads with cameras has changed casual photography forever. Gone is the need to purchase a camera, keep it safely away in a case, check that the batteries are charged, make sure you have space on the memory card etc. etc. The new age of cameras built into mobile devices mean that wonderful pictures can be taken with the phone or pad which you probably have out anyway. They can be stored on your mobile device, uploaded to the cloud or sent direct to Instagram and Facebook. Photography made easy. However, there are still a few easy ways to ensure that your photos are at their best, regardless of whether you plan to print photos or just keep images as treasured digital memories.
