How to improve your photography skills
1 rotating camera
Under normal circumstances, the camera should be taken well to ensure that the exposure will not blur the picture due to camera vibration, but in fact, rotating the camera in a planned way can abstract the picture and increase the artistic color, especially when shooting with different light sources or at night. The trick is to slow down your shutter so that you have enough time to catch light. Horizontal movement and rotation are also common techniques in shooting.
2 Adjust the focal length when shooting (commonly known as "pop")
Adjusting the focal length when shooting (commonly known as "pop-up") is actually a simple way to change the focal length when the camera releases the shutter. The picture will be full of motion, but it is only suitable for zoom lenses.
3 Creative Focus
Who says the focus must be on the subject? In fact, sometimes turning the camera to manual focus and deliberately letting the subject deviate from the focus can make it feel like an oil painting.
4 shoot from a low place
Try to shoot at an ultra-low angle to make the subject feel different from the normal naked eye. If you add a wide-angle lens, you can highlight the main body and show exaggerated effects.
5 deliberately expose your photos.
General photos will require "correct" exposure, and will not be overexposed or underexposed, but sometimes deliberately overexposed photos can also express a "science fiction" effect.
6 Flash with slow synchronous shutter
When shooting portraits at night, you can use the slow synchronous shutter to absorb more live light and use the flash to "solidify" the subject. If you add the "pop-up" technology mentioned in Tip 2, you can take creative photos.
7。 Shoot from a height
Compared with the low shot in skill 4, we can also capture the picture from a certain angle, that is, shooting from high altitude. In addition to shooting from the plane, we can actually achieve this effect by using tripod and long cable release or selfie function. It is recommended to use a wide-angle or even a fisheye lens, which will make the photos more interesting.
8 multiple exposures
Multiple exposure refers to taking multiple photos on the same negative. You can use one normal focus and another out of focus to add artistic color to a photo, or make a person appear in the phase many times like a doppelganger. However, it should be noted that some entry-level cameras do not include the function of multiple exposures, so you need to rely on Photoshop's "layer" technology.
9 increase noise
When the ISO value increases, although the shutter can be made faster, the noise will also increase relatively, making the photo appear uneven. However, if the noise is deliberately increased and the appropriate environmental atmosphere is matched, the photos will immediately bring nostalgic and cinematic feelings and add flavor to ordinary photos.
10 Custom White Balance
The correct white balance can certainly make the photos accurately show the light color of the environment at that time, but if we deliberately change the setting of white balance, it may bring out another special atmosphere and effect! The picture above shows automatic white balance on the left and manual white balance on the right. The picture on the right can bring a dark and melancholy feeling.
1 1 Make good use of the B shutter.
Door B means that the shutter is always open for exposure until the photographer presses the shutter button again. This technology can make very dark places colorful (such as the suburbs at night), and can also be used to shoot star tracks and fireworks.
12 infrared photography
Infrared photography is more complicated, because you need to modify your camera or add an infrared filter, but the effect is very special, like black and white photos, but not the same. If you use a filter, the light will be blocked a lot. It is recommended to use a tripod or improve ISO.
The above is how to improve photography technology, creative shooting skills and related content, I hope it will help you.
