July 4th celebrations will prompt many Fort Wayne area residents to pull out smartphones to capture and share memories on social media.

AT&T has the following tips to get some “Likes” with your mobile device:

Turn off your flash
If there’s sun or fireworks involved, odds are you’ll have enough light. Adding a flash will make details and colors less bright.

Focus the shot
Where do you want people to look? Touch the screen on your device where you want to focus the picture.

“Shoot wide”
Leave enough room around the edges so that you can crop it into a square – and keep all the important details in the frame.

Choose the right filter
For daytime photos, try softer filters like Mayfair, Rise, and Valencia. Night shots will pop in X-Pro II, Lo-Fi, and Hefe.
