Creating Dramatic Halloween Photographs on Android 4.3

Halloween is coming around again. One of my favorite past times during the Halloween season (October) is to visit all of the Halloween prop shops and shoot photographs of different Halloween scenes.

Camera phone makes shooting Halloween photos convenient. But some camera phones doesn't have the ability to edit photos, so you have to download the photos to your computer and edit them there. With more advanced SmartPhones (like Android and iPhones), you can more more dramatic Halloween photographs.

Taking Halloween Photographs

First, find a scene you like to shoot. Adjust the exposure on your camera phone to suit. If your camera phone doesn't have exposure compensation, you can adjust it later.

If the Halloween prop is small, then get as close to it as possible with your camera. Try to crop out as much of the unnecessary surroundings. If the scene is big, you can move back and forth with your camera phone and frame it just right.

If you have a digital SLR camera, all the right lighting, and all of the Halloween props, then you can create very dramatic Halloween photographs in the camera. But if you are stuck with a camera phone, shooting photos in a Halloween prop retailer, then you are limited to what you can shoot. You may get some dull looking photos like the ones below.

Don't worry about shooting the most dramatic photos directly in your camera phone. We can make your Halloween photos dramatic in post-processing. And in this article, we will show you how to post-process directly on your Android phone. Example photos shown in this section aren't very dramatic, because they are shot with the limitation of the camera phone. But that is exactly the point of this article.
