What is the art of photography?

Photography is the art of using light, and light and shadow are the soul of photography. It can be said that the direction of light plays a very important role in photography, affecting the distribution of light and shadow, the expression of color, and even the expression of emotion. Clever use of lighting techniques will greatly improve the quality of photos.

First, natural and smooth light.

Sunward light is also called "front light". The light comes from the front of the scene, and there is no shadow in the scene, so the contrast is small, which can truly express its color, line, shape and atmosphere. Take the ether sunlight as an example. The sunshine in the morning and evening is soft, and the light at noon is harsh and hard. Soft light is best used in children's photography, girl photography and flower photography.

In the morning when there is a temperature difference between day and night, dew forms on the stamens. Under the irradiation of scattered light from dew, flowers can emit different brilliance. A macro work with dew as the foreground and flowers as the background, using the depth of field to blur the background and let the background flowers appear on the dew, is very artistic.

Second, transparent backlight.

Backlight is the most commonly used light, that is, "go to the opposite side of the light and shoot." Under the backlight, you can show the texture of flowers and plants, which well shows the level and texture of flowers and plants, making the whole picture look particularly bright. If you want to strengthen the star-awn effect and make the light source present a stronger beam, you can turn down the aperture to shoot; If you want to make the star-studded effect less intense and radiant, you can turn up the aperture to shoot.

In early morning, dusk, cloudy days and other weather, the sun shines through the layers of leaves, and a faint mist is hazy. Use the side backlight method and try to use a small aperture. A small aperture can get enough depth of field to make the picture clearer, and it can also strengthen the light beam, make the beautiful "Jesus light" effect more artistic, and also make the subject illuminated by the side backlight highlight the three-dimensional effect and three-dimensional sense!

Third, multi-angle shooting

There is always another world in the photographer's heart. From another angle, the boring scenery may become fresh and vivid. When shooting at a low angle, choose to focus on the foreground or the middle scene. At this time, the light source in the background can create a fantastic spot effect.

Looking up angle shooting can highlight the tension of the picture. Through the comparison of height and body shape, we can not only highlight the lines, but also highlight the tall and oppressive feeling of the subject. Looking up and shooting a straight trunk will look tall and have a strong visual impact.

Seven-point shot, three-point later. In addition to pre-shooting, post-processing is also very important, which can add icing on the cake. ACDSee is not only a digital asset management artifact, but also supports the adjustment of basic elements such as simple exposure, contrast, highlight and uniform ambient light color temperature. The flagship edition can even instantly upgrade the picture to a higher level by synthesizing the picture, which will have a strong visual impact in the later stage! It can be said that ACDSee software has all kinds of picture management and processing!
