Teach you to play mobile phone photography from Xiaobai to Dashen.

At present, the pixel of mobile phone has soared to12 million and16 million. Even Nokia has produced a 40-megapixel mobile phone before, so the first thing to do is to buy a mobile phone with mainstream pixels. At least for now, you should choose a12 megapixel mobile phone. The larger the pixel, the more details the lens can capture. After the photo is enlarged, the smear feeling of the photo will not be very strong.

Mobile phones with dual cameras were popular last year, and the future will be a major trend of mobile phone lenses. For example, the hottest products from last year to now are Huawei's p9 and iphone7. However, the two cameras work differently: Huawei p9 cooperates with Leica, a German camera luxury brand. Leica is responsible for the adjustment of p9 color, one camera is responsible for capturing color information, and the other camera is responsible for capturing the outline of the subject and the contrast between black and white, so the photos taken by p9 have a strong German flavor and full details. One of the cameras of iPhone7 is an ordinary camera and the other is a depth of field camera, which is mainly used to realize the background blur effect similar to that of SLR cameras. The actual experience, the blur effect is definitely the first of all mobile phones. Apple has always been a strong point in taking pictures, and it is even more icing on the cake after using dual cameras. But from iphone6 to iphone7, Apple's cameras are outstanding, especially easy to polish the lens. I really can't accept virgo and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The biggest advantage of mobile phone photography is that it is simple and convenient, so it is very important to turn on the camera immediately when you meet the object to be photographed. For example, after Xiaomi, Apple and other mobile phones are on, you can turn on the camera without opening the interface of the mobile phone, saving time and effort. Xiaomi can also set the long press volume to reduce the continuous shooting when the screen is not bright. In addition, you can also set headphones to control taking pictures, so that you can take pictures with your mobile phone firmly in one hand. It was a bit verbose at first, but these are the small details and foundations of playing mobile phone photography well, so I have to elaborate.

Try to choose a large aperture mobile phone. The aperture size is expressed by f, and the smaller the aperture value, the larger the aperture, which is inversely proportional. At present, the aperture values of most mobile phones are F 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4, and the aperture size is f1.8.0 > F2.0 & gtF2.2 & gt2.4, under the condition of constant shutter speed, the larger the aperture, the more light enters, and the brighter the picture, while the smaller the aperture, the darker the picture will be.

Mobile phone imaging needs photosensitive elements as well as SLR. Due to the limitation of mobile phone volume, the photosensitive element is very small. At the same focal length, the size of the photosensitive element can determine the imaging field of view: the smaller the size of the photosensitive element, the smaller the imaging field of view, and vice versa. Therefore, the field of view of the mobile phone is extremely small compared with the SLR, so if you want to get a wider field of view on a small photosensitive element and get more objects, you must buy an external camera.

At present, the most cost-effective external wide-angle camera in China is about 100 yuan from Luqi Company. Most photos taken by external wide-angle lenses on the market are not plane photos but spherical distortion effects. This brand of wide-angle lens can effectively avoid the distortion of photos after using external lenses, making photos look natural and will not be faked.

…

Now it's time to shoot. Because the mobile phone is a fixed-focus lens, if you want to change the size and effect of the subject, you can only change the focal length artificially. In addition to taking some grand photos of natural scenery with mobile phones, we can also stay away from the subject. In fact, most of the photos we take are simple life photos, still life photos, food photos, street photos, travel photos and so on. At this time, it is necessary to be closer to these subjects, and then closer, so as to eliminate the interference of elements outside the subject and better highlight the subject and express the theme.

The first one,

The second one,

We can clearly see the difference between the above two photos. Obviously, the small house in the first photo is affected by the road surface, and people's eyes are scattered by the road surface, and the main body is not prominent. The house in the second photo is obviously bigger, closer to vision, more impactful and more prominent when it is closer.

Whether it is SLR photography or mobile phone photography, composition is a crucial expression. A good composition is not necessarily a good photo, but a bad photo must have no good composition, which is an inevitable way to express the theme of photography. Here are only some basic composition rules to explain the composition, and other articles will be updated after other advanced compositions. As mentioned earlier, due to the limitation of the size of the mobile phone, the photosensitive element of the mobile phone is too small, which may never reach the professional level of SLR photography in terms of image quality, detail, depth of field or shooting in special environment. SLR can control the color of the object environment very well, so it is very difficult for mobile phones. At this time, using mobile phone composition to express the theme can perfectly solve the disadvantages of mobile phone photography.

1. Contrast between light and shade

Use the contrast of light and shade to skillfully compose the relationship between highlights and shadows. For Xiao Bai, who is unfamiliar with lighting skills for the first time, this trick can really be used. It can effectively abandon the influence of color on photos and let you focus on contrast. As shown below, the railing on the right casts a series of shadows on the left step, which is in sharp contrast with the light.

The light outside the door below contrasts sharply with the darkness inside.

The following photo was taken in Xiamen, comparing the beach with the distant sea after dusk.

2. Triangulation

This composition method is used the most. Its usage is to put the main body of the picture horizontally and vertically on the four focuses of the mobile phone, which is especially suitable for the environment with fewer objects such as people, buildings, cats, planes and cars in the natural background. These objects often make the finishing touch and make the photos look too dull. Turn on the camera, put it inside, turn on the grid lines of nine squares, and focus the subject on the intersection of four lines at a time by using the method of trisection to take pictures.

3. Vertical and horizontal composition

Vertical and horizontal composition is suitable for shooting objects with geometric lines extending vertically and horizontally, such as straight Woods and teams participating in military parade; Horizontal is like a book on the shelf, which is used less.

4. Black and white composition

Black and white composition is suitable for shooting objects with story atmosphere. It can cover up all the cruelty of taking pictures and fool people between heaven and earth. I often hear people around me say that he is playing black and white photography. In fact, the subtext is that he doesn't know photography, and he uses black and white photography to cover up his white identity. In fact, black-and-white composition seems simple and easy, and anyone can apply a black-and-white filter with one click. In fact, black and white composition is very difficult to do. Although black and white composition excludes the interference of color to express the theme, how can a colorless photo please modern people who are used to seeing color? How to make others think about the story after the photo? These will test the photographer's deep thinking ability. Therefore, Xiaobai should use this synthetic method with caution. When you have enough knowledge and experience in photography, you should get in touch with this rule step by step.

The picture below shows all the citizens of new york taking to the streets to celebrate after the victory of World War II. Suddenly, an American soldier put his arm around a nurse's waist and kissed her affectionately. A reporter's keen eyes found this moment and quickly took out his camera to take this historic black-and-white photo, which has been passed down to this day. Is this black and white photo very simple? Is it difficult? It is worth thinking about.

The following is what I found when I was playing in Huimin Street. I approached him, turned my mobile phone to the black-and-white filter, and photographed the seriousness and concentration of this young Hui man during the barbecue.
