Entering your eyes is the most beautiful scenery.

From February 20 15 to June 20 17, I got my first micro-bill. I didn't expect to take photos for more than a year. In my eyes, life is full of touching moments. Whether it is a landscape or a documentary, there will always be some scenes and moments that make people want to freeze. So I began to want to record all the beautiful things in my life, so I went to Pizza Hut for a part-time job and got my first camera with my part-time salary (Niu Er saw this, so I guess I was being melodramatic again ~ Haha, I feel fine, melodramatic is also an attitude ~

I have been talking about writing some photo tips before, but recently I finally made time to do some sorting. I didn't take portraits at first, but spent a lot of time taking pictures of the scenery. What I want to talk about today is how to take a good photo (I will write portraits later, and then I took many portraits, which has accumulated a lot of good experience). I am not a technical expert or a research scientist. I don't like following the rules step by step. The following is purely empirical. I accept professional and serious corrections, but I don't accept professional criticism. My sister is happy to take pictures. The following pictures are taken by myself except for the schematic diagram of composition, and are not for commercial use.

Today's theme is composition.

"1" trigonometry: the most classic and practical composition methods can be divided into two types.

If you shoot more, you will find that most scenes in life, it should be said, are composed of lines. Some lines are easy to find, and some lines need to be discovered by photographers themselves. When shooting, the focus of the scene will be placed on the dividing line of the two dividing methods, which will make the focus of the picture more prominent, the photo will be more rigorous and look more comfortable. The following figure is a few examples, with original drawings and schematic drawings respectively (the orange line of all the schematic drawings below represents the dividing line in life, the yellow line is the three-point line, and the orange line is reserved for the overlapping part of the yellow line and the orange line):

1、

I took this on the train. I was surprised when I passed by, and the sky was reflected in the water. Because the part of water is quieter and more transparent, I left more parts for water supply, and put the boundary between water and sky at the position of horizontal dividing line 1.

2、

This one belongs to macro, and the flower is placed around the vertical line 2, which can better highlight this flower. When shooting macro, the camera will automatically blur the background behind the flowers, because it is very close, making the flowers more prominent.

3、

This photo was taken in Qingdao. The weather was bad that day, the sky was not beautiful, and it was particularly gloomy, so it was given to the sea. The orange line shows that the land and the sea just form a line, which can help us control the position of the photo.

4、

If it is not a three-dimensional background, but shooting people outdoors, in fact, shooting people is shooting scenery, and the perfect integration of people and scenery is the most perfect. Otherwise, it is better to find a white wall concave shape and practice your imagination. I still use the trisection method to divide this picture, but I also use two directions to divide it. Put the boudoir at the vertical dividing line 2, which is one of the people's centers of gravity in the picture, and put the Haitian dividing line at the horizontal dividing line 2.

[2] Well grid method

Let's look at this example:

1、

The focus of this photo is the stamen, which is placed at the focus 4 of the well grid. I overexposed the whole photo, so it's brighter. This is my little attempt ~ ~ I found that sometimes overexposure is quite emotional, don't you think?

2、

I like this dog's eyes very much. They are watery. I gave the focus of the picture to its eyes.

3、

This is a photo taken through the window glass. I want to take the intersection of two railings outside as the focus of a picture, so I put it in the focus of 1.

[3] Follow the guidelines in the figure.

Above:

1、

The lines in this picture are two railings.

2、

There are many lines on this picture, all pointing to one point. The point is not that the position of that point is my foot, but that the position of my foot is the line of sight.

3、

This photo was taken in Qingdao. This diagram actually contains many elements, not only the three-point method and well grid method mentioned above, but also the inherent line method. The pavilion is located in the third focus of the tic-tac-toe grid.

[4] Leave blank

[5] Symmetry

Above:

1、

This is the most popular turret angle, and I followed suit, symmetrical.

2、

At that time, it was snowy to shoot the Forbidden City. Although I can't go in for various reasons, I am still very satisfied with this position of the Forbidden City. The ice in the river is mixed with water, and the water part has the reflection of the side door of the Forbidden City and the reflection of the tree, which is symmetrical up and down.

I often use these methods to summarize, and I will add them later. Actually, taking pictures is a pleasure. There is no need to be too entangled in various rigid methodologies. How can we be happy? Because when you enter the eye, it is the most beautiful scenery. Take more photos and you'll feel it. Read more excellent photographers' works and constantly improve your aesthetic level, and your style will change a little.

Considering that people often ask me about the brand of my camera, I'd better say it here. This is my first micro-order, called Sony a5000, and the price is about 2000 RMB, with 2/kloc-0.0 million pixels, which is very cost-effective. The black one is very similar to the equipment used to set off the retro literary atmosphere in TV dramas. It is said that this Sony has come out to a7000. Of course, the newer the digital products, the better, but we have to do it according to our own budget. The question of whether to buy a micro-order or a SLR varies from person to person.

What kind of person is this camera series I bought suitable for?

1, I really want to buy a camera but the budget is below 5000;

2. Literary girl. Micro-single is lighter and easier to carry than SLR. You can often take it out and pat it, and the appearance is very simple.

3, novice, this camera is suitable for practicing hands, first learn the basic operation and then learn the complex SLR. When you are used to taking photos with a micro-camera for several months or a year, you may despise the pixels of the micro-camera you are using now and want to find a better lens with higher pixels (I have begun to dislike the pixels of my micro-camera, and when my sister has money, I will change the SLR (flag)! )。

Finally, I would like to remind you that when you are used to taking pictures with a camera, you will probably refuse to take pictures with your mobile phone, because pixels and filtered pictures really can't stand it; When you get used to taking pictures with a camera, you will probably start to get in touch with the later pictures, which is an extremely time-consuming job. But it's hard to buy a thousand dollars. I'm very satisfied with the post-picture, which makes me very happy. Through post-processing, I turned an ordinary picture into an extremely amazing picture. In this process, you are likely to become addicted.

I want to share some tips recently, and then I will talk about how to shoot portraits and the specific operation of mobile phones in the simple later stage. You can leave a message if you want to see anything. In addition, you are also welcome to send the scenery or portraits you think are good to the background. After screening, we will select some articles to push to this account. Let's communicate together ~

Finally, let me explain: I am not a professional photographer, but I love it, and most of my progress can come from my interest and love; I can't compare with professionals for the pictures I took, but they were not taken casually, which reflected my thoughts. For the later stage, I think all the pictures that can be handled should be taken later. If not, it is hooliganism.

See you next time.
