You choose the point you want to focus on
Apple's iPhone camera guide explains changing the focus area by tapping the subject on the screen and adjusting exposure with the control next to it. The menu name or gesture may be different on some phones; See your specific device's manual. Don't assume that automatic selection always finds the spot you want. Especially if there is a glass in the foreground and a person in the background, first decide which is the main subject of the photo. Then evaluate the shot based on this decision.
Do not try the window from only one direction
Position an object close to the window, then slightly to the side, and take two photos. See which one shows better surface details. Do this little experiment without changing the filters; so you can understand where the difference comes from. If there is a bright area in the background, check the entire frame, not just the subject. If the detail you want is missing, try repositioning your phone or the subject as a first solution.
Read the edges and alignment one last time
Apple offers grid and level tools to help with composition. Turn them on and off and evaluate whether they are useful for you. Look for any unfinished items, lines rising from behind the subject, or unnecessary space at the edge of the photo. Keep one horizontal and one vertical instance of the same scene. Preserving the original file before editing makes it easier to compare different cropping options later.
Briefly keep in mind
- Select the main subject first, then try focus and brightness control.
- Shoot different positions in the same light and compare without changing filters.
- Remember to keep the frame edges, alignment, and original file.
