Eight Photography Skills-Novices Improve their Photography Level

Take a silhouette

Shooting mode: full manual mode (M file)

Parameter setting: set a smaller aperture, such as F/8, F/ 10, etc. It is recommended that you use spot metering mode, and then aim the center of the camera at the brightest part of the background for metering.

Note: Silhouettes must be shot in a backlight environment, and the brightest part of the reflective object cannot be measured in front of the subject.

Night portrait

Shooting modes: aperture priority mode (AV file) and full manual mode (M file).

Parameter setting: The biggest test of night shooting to the camera is that the shutter speed slows down because of the small amount of light entering. There are three ways to solve this problem: opening the aperture, increasing the sensitivity, and manually increasing the amount of light entering. The simplest thing is to increase the sensitivity, but it will increase the noise of the photo and reduce the picture effect. It is recommended to drive to ISO400~800, and then shoot with a large aperture.

Note: manually increase the amount of light, generally using flash, LED lights, outdoor lights.

Take a portrait

Shooting mode: still portrait: aperture priority (AV file); Dynamic portrait: shutter] takes precedence (TV file).

Parameter setting: large aperture for portraits in small scenes; Small aperture for portraits in large scenes; Sensitivity should be as low as possible.

Attention: Try to focus on the eyes of the characters and pay attention to the exposure of their faces.

Sunrise and sunset

Shooting mode: full manual mode (M file); Aperture priority mode (AV file).

Parameter setting: When shooting sunrise/sunset, generally shoot with a small aperture, the aperture is adjusted between F/8-F/ 16, the lowest sensitivity is 50-200, and the shutter needs to be adjusted according to the light change.

Note: It is recommended that you use a hood to prevent glare. If you can use a tripod, try to shoot with it.

Shooting in rainy days

Shooting mode: shutter priority mode (TV file); Full manual mode (M gear).

Parameter setting: use a large aperture, and the shutter speed is about1/60s, so that you can shoot rain bars that have not yet landed; When the shutter speed is1100 second, the shot rain bar will be very short; Shutter] speed 1/20 seconds, the rain belt will be very long.

Note: If you want to shoot raindrops that solidify during falling, you should shoot them with a high-speed shutter.

Pat the stars

Shooting mode: full manual mode (M file).

Parameter setting: use wide-angle shooting, the wider the better; Manually focus and then turn the focus ring of the lens to infinity, and the shutter speed ranges from tens of seconds to two hours; Aperture F 1.4-F5.6, ISO value 100- 10000.

Note: tripod, cable release is necessary.

Still life flowers and plants

Shooting mode: full manual (M file); Aperture priority mode (AV file).

Parameter setting: use aperture above F/5.6, focal length above 50MM, low sensitivity.

Note: You can get as close as possible to the subject, which can show the details of the subject and effectively blur the background. Exposure compensation can be selected according to the shooting situation.

Look at the night scene

Shooting mode: full manual mode (M file).

Parameter setting: when using tripod, use low sensitivity, adjust the aperture to F8-F 1 1, and adjust the shutter speed for long exposure to 5- 15 seconds, as the case may be.

Note: If you don't use a tripod, pay attention to the safety shutter. Stepping on the spot in advance is more conducive to shooting.
