This paper introduces the knowledge and skills of SLR camera photography

Lead: With the popularity of travel, SLR cameras began to be welcomed by the public. SLR cameras have many functions and complicated operation. How do newcomers get started quickly? What introductory knowledge and photography skills should newcomers master? Come and have a look with me!

0 1 Functions of main buttons on SLR camera body

Flexible use of manual white balance

As long as it is a digital SLR camera, it has the function of manual white balance. Generally speaking, the most common problem we encounter is often the unsatisfactory color. For example, indoor shooting can only take dim photos. In fact, these are just automatic white balance judgments that are not what you want. The solution is simple. You can manually balance yourself. Manual white balance setting means that the camera restores white in the shooting environment, so you can get accurate color expression by using a standard white paper. Therefore, if you use manual white balance and shoot in warm/cold light environment, you can quickly return to the standard 5000K standard color temperature.

03 mobile phone as lighting source

When backlighting, the subject is in a shadow environment, and when shooting in the shed, you can use the mobile phone to make up the light, and use the mobile phone as the light source for shooting in the shed. The method is very simple, that is, lengthen the exposure time of the camera, shoot with a small aperture and low sensitivity, and then illuminate the place that needs to be "illuminated" with LED. The lighting speed should be controlled well, the shutter can't be closed, the bright place can't be lit up, and it can't flash too fast, otherwise it is easy to be underexposed.

04 flexible color matching

Learn to shoot macro first! Try to use the same color for framing, and there is generally no problem. In the same picture, it is best not to have more than three main colors (unless the color matching of the picture is really harmonious).

Take a dynamic picture of the scenery.

What I'm talking about here is a relatively simple one of the commonly used landscape shooting techniques: slow shutter shooting. Before you begin to learn slow door shooting, you must first have a good tripod. Generally speaking, the longer the exposure time, the longer the moving object stays in the picture. However, the longer the trajectory, the better the effect, which depends on the cooperation of the whole picture. But in common cases, the exposure time of about 0.5 seconds is enough to blur the dynamic objects in the picture and achieve the effect of dynamic and static contrast. If it takes a long time, it will only make more elements in the picture empty and I don't know what I want to express.

Get a beautiful blur &; facula

When the shooting distance is the same as the focal length, whether it is a zoom lens or a fixed focus lens, the smaller the aperture value, the more obvious the blur effect is. For beginners, it is recommended to use the aperture priority (Av) mode to shoot, because the relationship between the most basic elements of photography can be understood by adjusting the aperture and exposure compensation. Moreover, it is easier to control the blur amount by setting the aperture value first.
