or the dapper ethnic clothes, everything today deserves a photo. Now, clicking the best photographs is also a task on Diwali because of different (mostly low) lighting conditions and all the sparkle around. To make that easy for you, here we have shared six pro smartphone tricks that you can use to get the best Instagram-worthy Diwali shots.

6 Pro Smartphone Tricks For Best Diwali Instagram Posts

1: Nightmode Maestro

Majority of smartphones these days come with a night mode that automatically clicks the best shots in low light conditions. And this could work as a boon for the people who want to capture the aura of diyas, crackers, and more. One tip for the same is to click the photos in night mode after keeping your phone in a super stable position, and you will see drastic changes in the quality of the shot.

2: Glass Surface Is Your Best Friend

Yes, if you want to capture a unique Instagram-worthy shot with your phone, then use glass surfaces (that are pretty common in Diwali) in a creative way. For example, you can place a diya near a reflective surface and click a photograph from a low angle.

3: Evergreen candid shots

Not a surprise, candid shots always work better than the planned ones. Try to capture authentic candid photos as they will add more sparkle to your Instagram posts. To get the best results in candid, you can use the portrait mode on your smartphone and blur the background a little bit so that all the focus shifts to the subject's emotion.

4: The pro mode

If you have a smartphone capable of clicking RAW photos, then go for it. With those features, you will get highly detailed shots that can be further edited in different applications to enhance the quality. Just make sure that you are not using any heavy filters, as they kill the essence of a natural shot.

5: Fireworks with manual focus

Whenever clicking photos of fireworks in Diwali for Instagram, make sure that you have the camera on manual focus mode, as on autofocus, the camera will struggle a lot, and you will not get the desired results. You can also select the Pro Mode and set the focus to infinity, ISO between 100 and 400, and shutter speed between half and one second.

6: The magician of twilight

Right after the sun sets and just before the sky goes completely dark could be dubbed one of the best times to capture shots of all the decor around you. The best thing you can do at this time is turn off your flash and let the natural light show the magic, and trust us, you are going to get unforgettable shots that will instantly make it your Instagram Diwali post.
