How to take pictures to get better results?

1. Try to use high-pixel camera phones

Now there are many new camera phones on the market, ranging from 1 million pixels to 12 million pixels. The higher the pixel of the camera phone, the stronger the photographic ability, and of course the better the effect. Photos below 1 million pixels are generally ok on mobile phones, but if printed, the picture will look very rough and even unsightly. If you want to print beautiful small photos, or contribute to newspapers and magazines, it is best to shoot with a camera phone with more than 3 million pixels. Because editors should not only pay attention to the creativity of the works, but also look at the picture effect.

2. remember a rule of framing and composition

beginners often put the subject in the center of the picture and press the shutter directly after focusing. This stereotyped composition is not vivid enough. It is suggested that photographers use the method of "trisection", that is, in the actual photographic composition, the subject and the center should be slightly staggered, and attention should be paid to the echo between the subject and other objects, and the shutter should be kept in a half-pressed state. After focusing, wait a little for the camera to focus, and then press the shutter calmly, so that the subject of the photo taken will be more vivid and prominent, and will not be blurred.

little knowledge: "trisection method" is also called "golden section method". Mathematically, there is a golden section point of .618, that is, a straight line segment is divided into two parts, and the ratio of one part to the whole is equal to the ratio of the rest to this part. Art design and photographic composition introduced this segmentation method, using 2? 3、3? 5、5? Approximate values such as 8 represent the proportional relationship of composition. Photographs taken by photographers use this ratio to divide the picture, which is the most beautiful.

3. Pay attention to the ambient light

The light is strong enough and the shooting effect is good. However, the light will not change according to one's own will, so it is necessary to change the shooting angle at any time and pay attention to the direction of light irradiation. You can shoot along the light and try to make the shooting object naturally illuminated by the light. Generally, the light from the side can better highlight the texture of the object, so we should make the best use of the side light. When backlighting or side backlighting, you can consider using objects to cover it. If it is not possible, cover it with your hand next to the camera to alleviate the influence of backlighting. You also need to be careful when shooting under strong light. Never shoot under strong light with the lens of your mobile phone, which will not be effective. In the dark environment, the shooting effect of mobile phones is generally not good.

4. Steady shooting

The phenomenon of camera phone delay is generally obvious, and it will be more obvious if you use a mobile phone with an external camera to take pictures. If your hand shakes at the moment you press the shutter, the picture you take will be faint or blurred. Therefore, when shooting, be sure to hold the mobile phone steady, pay attention to give the mobile phone a "reaction" time after pressing the shooting button, wait a while to check the shooting effect, and remember not to turn the camera immediately after pressing the shooting button.

5. Shooting without Digital Zoom

Digital zoom, which is called digital zoom in English, is to enlarge the area of each pixel in the picture through the built-in processor, so that you can see a larger image on the mobile phone. Nowadays, all camera phones have digital zoom function, but it is essentially different from optical zoom which can improve the definition. If it is used to take pictures, it will weaken the clarity of the image, and the effect is not as good as that without digital zoom. For example, a photo with a resolution of 64×48 shot with digital zoom may have an actual resolution of only 32×24. When viewed on a computer, the image will either become smaller or blurred.

6. Choose a larger image size

Most current camera phones allow users to customize the image size and storage format. These items are set in the "Options" menu in the camera interface of the mobile phone. When printing, you should pay attention to choosing a larger format.
