So many factors affect and reduce the quality of our pictures when uploaded on Instagram, they include;

• Pixel or resolution image count: It’s advisable you use high resolution images, minimum of 150 x 150 resolution size. To be on a safer side, it’s important you go for 640 resolution size, it’s the best fit.

• Rename the picture to bear the ‘jpg image’, especially if it has extra characters.

On the other hand, below are recommended ways you could take your dream killer Instagram shots without stress or fear.

1. Embrace Light: Photography experts have revealed that natural lights are best recommended. Understanding this first concept is the best and most important rule. Natural lights create brighter and quality pictures. When using natural lights, stay close to the windows if you’re snapping from indoors. Also, avoid using phone flash in favor of natural lights. Artificial lights can tint your photographs yellow.

2. Take right cognizance of the Golden Hour and shoot the right shot: When taking quality pictures, it is important you take note of the right moments to take your killer shots. Usually, cloudy days and gray weather are excellent for excellent shots. This is because the light spreads out everywhere, giving you the opportunity to do so much in the photograph.

3. Endeavour to use the Best Editing Apps for Mobile Photographer: Introduction of editing apps to your pictures in order to give it its desired quality should be considered.

Some editing apps that can be used include;

• VSCO: This is an elegant app, very flexible when introduced, a must use for every instagrammer.

• Snap Seed: This is the Ultimate Fine tuning app. One of the features of this particular app entails using the Handy Healing tool to edit out any blemishes or stray people who may have wandered into your shot. Captivating right?!

• A Color Story: All for the love of bright whites and colors that app, this app is best suited for your taste.

4. Consider your Viewpoint: Taking shots at articulated and targeted viewpoints is very necessary. Take shots at angles that do not conflict with the lights. You wouldn’t want to get a dim shot, or an over-lighted shot.

5. Get Creative with your shots:

A popular adage says it’s the little thing we ignore that actually matters. Take note of tiny unnecessary spots that could add spice to your shot.

When uploading your pictures, do not use over popular hashtags. This popular hashtags only bring your post to the first page after which they disappear after few minutes and I’m certain you wouldn’t want that happening. 

Use correct hashtags relating to your photo so that your posts can be viewed by the right audience.

1) COOK: It doesn’t matter if you are a perfect cook, or you get to throw the result of your cooking process into the bin. The goal is that you made yourself active, and maybe tried new things. If your cooking turned out great, beautiful. If it didn’t, at least you did learn what not to do, and you can always try again. To make it more exciting, cook something new that works with your budget. Your goal could be: I want to set up a candlelight dinner for myself. So you cook the meal, set up the table, clean up, dress nice, take pictures, eat, unwind, call your friends or family while at it, have a dance with yourself and call it a day. That way you had fun and you stayed safe.

2) PLAY GAMES: From board games to video games on your devices, you could always chill out from the quarantine comfort of your home. If you want to play with your boys or girls; then you are in luck as technology has made it so easy for you to compete with other people, especially when playing live online games. Find the games that you love, pick your competitors, and show them how it is done. Have your water, wine, snacks, food beside you while you are at it to refuel your energy level. You know you can never tell how long you will be stuck on that game, so you need something nice to replenish yourself while at it.

3) READ A BOOK: It is okay for you to learn something new, or hear new stories during your quarantine period. So finishing on a book you’ve started, or attempting to read a book isn’t a bad idea. It could be an ebook, audiobook, or a hard copy. It could be in any genre you love: memoirs, romance tales, health, just basically what your mood is at that moment, it helps. If you are also in a book club, it would help a great deal.

4) WATCH A MOVIE: If you have a cinema at your home, make it extra, do the popcorn thing, drink, candy, you name it. If all you have is your little TV, laptop, or phone, then make the most o fit as well, you also need snacks. You could schedule a generic viewing time with your friends, then talk about the movie later on in a conference call. Confused on what to watch: Netflix, Showmax, apple tv and the rest have you covered. 

5) PARTY: Put on your favorite playlist, you have apple music, boomplay, Spotify and the rest to help you with that, Have your party cup, you can go extra and decorate your space for a party, then have fun. You could also invite your friends to join you in an internet party. So there’s this thing this period where Djs are hosting a life party on Instagram live. This happened with DJ D-NICE where he hosted a viral quarantine party. Naomi Campbell was a part @DNICE insta-live party. Jlo, Drake, Oprah, Michelle Obama, Will Smith Diddy, DJ Khaled, Usher, Mary.J.Blige, Queen Latifah, among others were a part of the party too. Imagine having to party with the stars for free, and jive to the same music/ vibe as them sounds pretty good to me. I mean, what could beat partying with Naomi, the ultimate socialite/ Supermodel?

6) SOCIAL MEDIA: If you feel out of space and need to state thoughts from your meditations or your curiosity, there are diverse global platforms you could use to connect with different people all over the world. If you have anxiety over the quarantine period, seeing what others are doing during this period could help you feel calm and safer.

7) CREATE: It is very easy to be lazy during this period. But you need to balance it out. If you are a creative, this is the time to be buzzing with content ideas. This is the time for anyone to come up with that idea, write that business plan, write out that promotion pitch for your boss… There’s so much to do before the crazy doors to the world are opened again, so do it.

8) REST: The period after any quarantine is a lot. SO you need a lot of rest, as when life is back to normal, you may have to work thrice as hard to cover up for the times you were absent. So you need this time out to rest, replenish, exercise, meditate and be happy.

I hope these guides are helpful to you.
