The 2010 FIFA World Cup is just 23 days away. If you plan to attend some games and would like to capture all the action on your mobile phone camera, here are ten helpful tips to capture those spectacular moments on your mobile phone.
1. Make sure that your lens is clean as a dirty lens could blur images.
2. Set your phone to its highest picture quality and resolution. When printing it out it will be of better quality.
3. Set the white balance, if your phone supports it. White balance allows you to change colour balance in your image based on your shooting conditions. A camera will see that a given subject is redder than normal under normal incandescent lighting of your home. Experiment with this feature to get a feel for it.
4. Avoid using a flash and rather take photographs in good light. Avoid places with low light.
5. Frame your shot to make sure that everything you want is in the photograph and ready to capture.
6. Take lots of photographs. You can then look back at your photographs to choose the best images.

7. Avoid using a zoom as this will decrease the quality of your photograph, rather get close to the subject.
8. Follow rules of composition for example the rule of thirds. Don’t place your subject squarely in the middle of your frame but a third of the way in.
9. Finally, when taking the picture keep your hands as steady as you can when pressing the shutter button. After you take the picture keep the phone in position, often photographs are blurry because there is little time for the phone to save the photograph to its memory if you fail to keep your phone in position.
10. If you have camera settings on your mobile phone, learn them and take photographs using these settings to see what you end up capturing.
With the increase of mobile cameras and the large amount of people turning to their mobile phones to capture interesting and spontaneous images, it is worthwhile to learn how to take great photographs on your phone. So, starting snapping away!
