Introduction of mobile phone photography skills

First, try to get close to the subject when shooting.

The camera lens of the mobile phone is fixed focus and does not support zooming; Although many mobile phone manufacturers say that their mobile phones support zooming, the effect after zooming is very poor.

At present, the focal length of the camera of most mobile phones on the market is between 26 mm and 35 mm, and the equivalent focal length of the camera of Apple mobile phone is 28mm；; The 28mm focal length of the mobile phone camera is very close to the 35mm focal length of the camera.

Therefore, when taking pictures with your mobile phone, try to get close to the object, but it doesn't mean to be crazy, but try to get close to the focus range of the lens, so that the photos will be clearer. Remember never to shoot the scene at close range with your mobile phone, the quality of the photos taken is very poor.

Second, choose prime time shooting.

Whether shooting with a camera or a mobile phone, shooting in prime time can get twice the result with half the effort. Generally speaking, when we say golden shooting time, we mean that in the morning and evening, when the light is soft and the sky is rich in color, it will give you a greater chance to take good photos.

This doesn't mean that you can't take good photos at noon. At noon, the light is strong. You can use this function to take some photos with strong light contrast, but it is easier to take good photos in the morning and dusk.

Third, the clever use of window light.

It's no secret to take pictures by the window. The light by the window is good, and the light will be diffused by the window. Especially suitable for shooting small and fresh works in this bright and soft light. If you can use the glass of the window to produce a projection, that is the best.

Fourth, learn to leave blank.

Many people think that "leaving blank" means leaving a large area of white. In fact, "blank space" in photography refers to the space outside the subject. Pay more attention to blank space when taking pictures with your mobile phone, which can make the picture concise and the subject prominent. For example, the subject is rich in color, so you'd better choose a solid background or a clean and concise background to highlight the subject.

For example, in the following photo, the background is a large blue sky, and the characters have become the most eye-catching places in the picture.

Fifth, use the front lens more.

In addition to taking selfies, most people take photos with the rear camera. In fact, they can use the front camera to take pictures when shooting some scenes. For example, if you want to shoot a building indoors, you may have to lie on the ground to show the grand design in the building. But if you turn on the front camera to shoot, you can shoot while sitting.

Six, the use of black and white shooting

Many people take color black and white photos first, and then adjust the photos to black and white with post-retouching tools. Actually, you don't have to go to so much trouble. Nowadays, many mobile phones have a "black and white mode" in their photo mode. Just turn on this mode and shoot directly.

Seven, find the other side of the shutter

Although the camera of a mobile phone can't adjust the shutter speed like a SLR camera, it can also play a lot of good tricks. For example, when taking photos, a smooth mobile phone can take very dynamic photos.

In addition, you can also take long exposure photos with your mobile phone. Turn on the "live broadcast" of iPhone and find a good angle to shoot. It should be noted that you must keep the phone still, release the shutter after about 2 seconds, and then continue to keep the phone still for about 2 seconds.
