You can now photograph your favorite Pokémon (and non-favorite ones too) thanks to GO's Snapshot function, filling your social networks with these adorable beings and of whom you feel so proud . Of course, you may have noticed that sometimes it is not easy to get the perfect snapshot. Or that there are spaces in which your Pokémon do not look as they should. Well, for that we have created this key guide with which to achieve the most immersive framing and experience possible
The more light, the better
You may not have noticed, but Pokémon GO and its GO Snap feature doesn't play very well with the surrounding lights And it is that it is very complex to measure and calculate the lighting that your Pokémon needs to match the environment. Something that can make your Pokémon come out bright and shiny even when you're taking a photo indoors in the dark.
Therefore, if you want a realistic photo, in which it seems that the Pokémon and the environment, or the Pokémon and you are in the same place, it is convenient to have good lighting. The best option is to take pictures outdoors in good light It's simple and the results are usually good. If not, you can always use lamps or spotlights to get an extra point of light to the environment and match the Pokémon's own lighting.But be careful with directed lights, which can cause the opposite effect that we are looking for.
Be aware of the size of the Pokémon
One point in favor of GO Snapshot in Pokémon GO is that it maintains the proportion of the Pokémon. Something that the most staunch fans will enjoy knowing the measurements of these beings and seeing them on a real scale in the world, even through Augmented Reality. The downside is that for larger Pokémon, you'll need more space.
For example, it is difficult for a photo with Articuno in an interior to be realistic. This legendary bird is big, and it doesn't fit in any living room. So if you want realistic photos or avoid the message that says you're too close to the Pokémon to see it, take its size into account.
You can play with the smallest Pokémon indoors. But if you really want to enjoy a large Pokémon, the best thing is to go out and take advantage of a park to enjoy it in all its splendor, without overlapping on walls and ceilings.
Watch the background
When you are looking for the ideal photo you have to know that what is seen in the foreground is just as important as what remains in the background. Especially when we talk about photos in Augmented Reality, where the surprising thing is that a Pokémon appears on top of the real world. Therefore, to get a good image, you need to work on the scenery a bit
Keep in mind that, if you want a realistic photo, the ideal would be for the environment or scenery to match your Pokémon.It is difficult for a Diglet to come out through the wooden parquet of your house, for example. In addition, there are environments in which it is not advisable to take pictures because it may violate the rights of children or other sensitive people. So keep in mind where you take the photo and what is behind the Pokémon. Especially if you want to share it later on social networks.
Find the right perspective
The good thing about GO Snapshot is that it's Augmented Reality that you can interact with. Not only does he summon a geometric shape that he places on top of reality, but you can touch it and move around it. This way you can enjoy all the details of a Pokémon, from any perspective See its head from above, see how it moves its hind legs, know details of their appearance that are not seen in close-up, or even get closer to see their entire anatomy. The possibilities have never been so developed in any other Pokémon game.
So don't sit still at any time. Once you summon a Pokemon walk around it. Find its angles and click on it to activate its animation This way you will find unique gestures and perspectives to capture. And the good thing is that you have all the time in the world and the opportunities you need to take the best possible photo.
Test tilts, calculate how the Pokémon moves when you click on it, redirect it towards you by sliding your finger along its body... use all these techniques to test and check the better poses and perspectives Afterwards, all you have to do is be able to press the fire button at the right moment.
Play with the scenes
If what you want is to attract the attention of your followers on social networks with surprising photos of Pokémon, you will have to go a step further in this to get the best perspective of your fighters.And it is that creativity is not at odds with GO Snapshot. Of course, you will have to develop your own techniques and tricks
For example, you can simulate feeding a Pokémon by showing your hand and a fruit near it within frame. Or you can set up some item related to the Pokémon so that a simple photo shows an action or story. Think of different situations to plan the scene and be able to tell something with a single photo. Of course, remember that you cannot put any element in front of the image of the Pokémon, since it overlaps what the camera captures. But you can play with perspectives. Or even insert people into the photo to take a group photo. Do not forget to put the mobile in landscape or landscape if you need it.
Then take the screenshot and review the best scenes to share on your social networksIf you still want to give it an extra touch, take advantage of applications like Instagram to apply filters and effects with which to hide any imperfections or unreal lighting. And ready. Now you will have a fun and striking composition to show off.
