Holi 2024 is already here when everyone will be grooving to their favourite Holi songs on the festival of colours. But you might also be interested in capturing the favourite moments that you spend with your close ones. And for that, you need to be well-prepared to handle the camera all through the day.

Luckily, smartphones these days are more than adept at helping you on such occasions, but even then if you have concerns about shooting photos in a crowded space, we are helping you with special holi camera tricks and tips that will give you the perfect shot.

Versatile Cameras Add Spark To Your Photos

Your phone’s camera is likely to have an ultra-wide-angle lens, and also a macro lens. Why not bring out the big lenses on Holi and use its versatility to capture some wide-angle photos, or even click images with immense depth and detail thanks to the macro lens. Fiddle with the camera settings to click photos in monochrome, which is always pleasing to see and adds a spark to the visual memories.

Make Sure About The Lighting

Holi party usually starts in the daytime, when the light is at its extreme, so you need to be careful while clicking pictures. Always make sure the light is against the subject and not in front, and if you are comfortable using the manual features of the camera, then set the exposure to give you the right amount of light in the photos. Doing it on auto mode means you have to tap on the screen to lock the exposure level to suit your needs. Reducing the exposure also gives you brighter and more colourful photos.

Click A Lot Of Portraits

Don’t forget that Holi 2024 means quality time spent with your dear ones, and what better way to capture these moments than to get them in a portrait frame. The level of depth and emotion that you get in this mode is unparalleled. If you want to experiment further, there’s no better way than a bokeh to keep things exciting. Not only do you capture the moment, but you can also easily tweak its appearance as well.

Subject Is The Hero Focus

Holi parties can be frenetic and leave you with very little time to click the perfect image. But it is crucial that your photos have the right amount of detail, otherwise, the images go to waste. Make sure the subject is in focus, keep yourself composed while clicking the shutter so that you don’t shake the camera while capturing the image.

Don’t Forget the Slo-Mos

What better way to capture the festival of colours than to show them in slo-mo. You can happily take photos, but videos add the x-factor with slo-mo, giving you the perfect shot of the colour dropping on the face, or throwing water balloons on people.
