    How to fine-tune your photos

    Feeling creative? There are loads of ways to add a new twist to your photos, and these extra tips will keep your snaps a cut above the rest.

    Bring out a specific colour

    Once you’ve chosen your photo, pick one of its main colours and use a filter of that tint to make it really stand out. To give your pic a more surreal feel, choose a contrasting colour instead.

    Preserve natural detail with HDR

    For the most detailed photos, try using HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. HDR takes multiple shots at different exposures and merges them together, combining their best parts to convey the drama in your scene.

    See things in black and white

    Changing your photo to monochrome can give your photos added atmosphere – the extra contrast can really add character, especially with portraits.

    Crop your shots to make them perfect

    Once you’ve taken an awesome photo, adjusting its size and shape can be the finishing touch. Cropping, zooming and tilting will help you find balance – and fresh new perspectives you might have missed.
