What are the shooting skills of the concert? Concert shooting skills 1. ISO400 to ISO800 sensitivity.

Although the lighting in the auditorium of the concert is very dim, the lighting on the stage is completely different. Under the spotlight, the performer's acceptance can be enough to shoot without a flash. If f/4 aperture is used, ISO400-800 can provide a shutter speed of1125 seconds or even higher in many cases, which is enough to freeze the actions of the performers without much change.

Concert shooting skills II. Use the key to measure.

Compared with the background, the performers on the stage have a high luminosity under the irradiation of spotlight, and the light difference between the subject and the background is very large. If you use the average metering preset by the camera, the metering will be affected by the dark background, and the subject is seriously overexposed. As long as you lock the performer's luminosity with key photometry, the problem can be solved. The method of locking exposure varies from machine to machine. For models with many automatic functions, half-pressing the shutter will lock the exposure, and most of them have no independent exposure lock button. You can lock the exposure before the official shooting, and then press the shutter.

Concert shooting skills 3. focus

At present, many digital cameras have multi-point autofocus function. For example, the autofocus point of CanonEOS 10D has 7 points. Although you can set the focus position manually, you can safely use the camera's autofocus selection function when shooting a concert. Because the performer's luminosity must be the highest in the concert, it is unlikely that the camera will choose the wrong focus. Save the trouble of focusing, and everyone can concentrate on exposure and composition.

Concert shooting skills 4. Pay attention to the white balance of sunlight.

The lighting and color matching of the concert is one of the most wonderful places. However, if you use the automatic white balance mode, the camera will make the lights in the scene white and the photos will be unrecognizable. You'd better use the daylight white balance setting, the color of the photo will look more original.

Concert shooting skills 5. Pay attention to black and white clothes.

Although it was mentioned before that people should use key metering, when performers wear all-black or all-white clothes, the metering system of the camera is misled and the photos are likely to be seriously exposed. Therefore, if the performer wears all-white clothes, everyone needs to increase the exposure by about 1 to 1.5 (that is,+1.5 ev); If you wear black clothes, you need to reduce the exposure of 1.5.

Concert shooting skills 6. Turn off the flash.

Because the distance is too far, turning on the flash is not very helpful for shooting the concert, but it will cause the reflection of smoke in the venue and make the photo gloomy. It will be clearer to turn off the flash.
