Head-down photography skill

Low-angle flat shooting reduces the sense of viewing distance, the picture has a close emotion, and the child's expressions and movements are often more natural.

Taking a low angle as the shooting angle does not mean that people are encouraged to shoot at a low angle blindly, but in addition to using daily angles, we can also consider shooting at a low angle to diversify photographers' works. When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to find a view and make a composition through the viewfinder. As a result, he can only shoot with the method of "shooting blindly and trying constantly", which undoubtedly tests the photographer's patience.

Because it may not be possible to view directly when shooting, it is difficult to get the level of the picture correctly. Photographers can add an external level to the camera. Generally, an external level can be added to the flash hot boots of the camera.

The wide-angle lens has a wide viewing angle and can accommodate more scenes. In addition, the wide-angle lens has obvious perspective deformation, and the object close to the lens is larger, and vice versa. Photographers can make more use of the characteristics of wide-angle lenses to shoot images with rich scenes and exaggerated effects. Wide-angle images can also facilitate the photographer to process the images in the later stage of shooting, for example, due to the correction level, the subject can still be kept intact after cutting.

Aperture can control the depth of field, and focusing can determine the clear position of the image. The flexible combination of the two, together with proper composition, can help photographers highlight the main body of their works. Photography is not only an art, but also like science, which requires different attempts and explorations to find a suitable angle to shoot.
