Dont Forget The Rules Of Photography

This is by far the most important suggestion of all. The rules for taking a good picture dont change when you switch between cameras.

While the tips Ive outlined here will help you maximize the strengths and minimize weaknesses of a smartphone camera, its ultimately your skill, knowledge, and eye that will make photos worth looking at.
