Pictures have power, there’s no doubt about it. And with tech advancements, most of us are now carrying around incredible cameras in our pockets. But what makes the difference between a stunning portrait or an overexposed selfie? Between an accurate action shot and a just-missed-it blur?

We’d love to hear your tips and tricks for getting the best shot so post them in the comments below. You can also include the snaps you’re most proud of to show off your efforts - we’ll moderate as quick as we can to approve the pictures. When we’re done, we should have a handy how-to guide and bonus community photo album.

In exchange, and to celebrate the newest additions to the Google Pixel family, we’ll give a brand-new Google Pixel 7 to one lucky commenter. With powerful Pixel Camera features like Real Tone and Cinematic Blur, the Google Pixel 7 is a photography powerhouse and we can’t wait to see the beautiful images it can capture.

Some of my tips and tricks that I usually follow while clicking pics are using gridlines and focusing on the object to get a well balanced shot. Similarly i am a big fan of reflections and like playing around it. There's something so idyllic about seeing the objects reflected in water or in your sunglasses

In taking low light photos with your phone, manipulating the focus of exposure is essential and never over use the flash as it can make or break the outcome of your photo as most phones have very sharp low light shooting mode, relying on flash can just mess up the focus of the camera.

I don't have many pictures Ive taken on this phone but I love the stuff everyone is using there cameras for, it's so creative!

Tip: If you're looking for a great photo of your toddler or pet for Christmas cards, Portrait Mode automatically sharpens the focus of the subject and blurs the background. It really makes the photo pop and I use it all the time!

Try flipping your phone upside down to change up the negative space ratios!

Really love the Pixel phones. Googke have awesome camera setups so I'll keep my glfingers crossed.

When trying to take pictures of babies or children that don’t want to smile, use a live capture mode.  This will allow you to choose the best moment as the main photo because they never smile on command!
