Seven skills of mobile phone photography

Lead: If you also feel that your photos are not good enough, it is because the equipment is not good. Then I hope that after reading this article, you can pay more attention to shooting technology rather than equipment.

All photos in this article were taken with vivo Xplay6.

First, observe the environment and predict in advance.

This photo was taken on a plane about to land in Amsterdam.

In fact, I have been paying attention to the environment outside the window since the plane began to descend, that is, 30 minutes before landing, ready to shoot.

Finally, wait, wait, wait until there are clouds and fields in the porthole.

Don't hesitate at this time, adjust the composition decisively, press the shutter, and you can get the above photo.

Although I haven't had a good rest for more than ten hours because of the flight delay.

But this 30-minute wait is obviously worth it.

Second, pay attention to contrast.

When I was in school, I remember my teacher once taught me: "The main body is black and white, with color as a foil;" Main color, set off by black and white. "

Dramatic pictures like this, as long as you keep looking, you will find them.

In addition, European children are not afraid of people and are easy to shoot.

Third, pay attention to guide the use of composition.

This photo was taken on the platform of Amsterdam Railway Station.

We can easily find that the arc of the ceiling and the straight line of the track naturally lead our eyes to the distance, which is the focus of our composition.

Coupled with the contrast we mentioned before, the warm light on the left side contrasts with the gray platform.

So I easily got the photo above.

Fourth, the clever use of light and shadow.

Early in the morning and one night are the best time to take pictures.

Not only is the light relatively soft before and after sunset, but the light ratio is not too large, which is more conducive to our taking pictures.

What's more, the sun is lower in the morning and evening, and it is more prone to dramatic light and shadow and scenes.

Dramatic is the key to make your photos stand out.

Fifth, clean the lens before shooting backlight.

Mobile phones are different from cameras, and the lens is exposed every day, which will inevitably get fingerprints or dust.

It doesn't matter when shooting at ordinary times, but when shooting against the light, remember to wipe the lens to avoid causing a large area of glare to affect the picture.

Anyway, mobile phone lenses are all sapphire, which is very wear-resistant. You can use clothes or paper towels when wiping.

Sixth, I would like to use continuous shooting.

Compared with cameras, mobile phones actually have an advantage in continuous shooting.

First of all, the mobile phone has a powerful processor and a high speed in continuous shooting, so you don't have to worry about the card like a camera.

And after the mobile phone continuous shooting is completed, you can choose the best one in continuous shooting. In this way, it won't take up too much space.

Don't forget to use continuous shooting the next time you encounter such a scene where the subject is moving.

Seven, bring a small tripod.

Not all tripods are stupid.

Like some desktop tripods, they are only as big as a key, but they are enough for you to take clear long-exposure photos at night.

However, the premise is that your mobile phone also supports professional mode, and you can manually adjust the ISO to the lowest.

Mobile phone photography, I believe you can also.
