Adapting to the style of the environment enables the photographer to capture great shots. One must always be aware of the limitations of their camera. Experiment on how high the camera can hit the ISO before the image starts to appear too noisy. Try to use natural light when shooting with a mobile as the flashlight on the phone rarely looks good.
