Advanced course: lecture notes for a simple post-photography class (Mr. Li Tao)

After reading Li Tao's Simple Photography Course for the third time, I made notes and insights in detail, which benefited a lot.

Lesson 1: Overview of Late Photography

1, recommended by a website: Station Cool-a discussion area for designers.

2. Discovery (observation), connection (imagination) and recombination (creation)-an important learning method. It can be used not only for photography, but also for learning any knowledge.

3. It is mentioned that "Zada soil forest", a beautiful land in Tibet, is a special landform formed by flowing water erosion, winding for dozens of miles, with a history of about 1 100 years. Zadatulin is the site of palaces and temples in Guge Kingdom. Related photography works emerge one after another, so you can join the travel plan.

We should be able to persist in making photos stand out through repeated practice, from simple processing to stylized processing.

5. Art Tao-an art learning concept-should be achieved: As for Tao, it is based on morality, benevolence and art, that is to say, if you persist in one thing for a long time, you can swim in art and stay close to people.

1, the realization of artistic synaesthesia needs the support of aesthetics, psychology and philosophy. All art categories are common. Photography is associated with painting, music, philosophy and so on.

2, famous saying: shooting is composing, and later is playing-ansel adams.

3, recommended movie: start over-songs change life (in the middle of the bar, the man meets the woman. Through the male master's understanding and rendering of music, this paper explains the connection and reorganization between composition and performance from the perspective of music, telling us that only through training can we find beautiful things.

We don't just take pictures with cameras. What we bring to photography are all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the roads we have traveled and the people we have loved-ansel adams. (Experience and vision determine the state of the film, and then there will be emotions, emotions and flavors. )

5. Establish aesthetic concepts, take good photos, take good results, and practice what Adams said above.

65438+

2, first, the mirror will be poor ("Wen Xin Diao Long") (when looking for something, you must find the root, have a general view, first find a big framework, and then get to the bottom of it)

3. Sincerely prove your conscience (correct learning attitude, don't be distracted, just do one thing and prove it by yourself)

4. Wang Yangming's practical learning spirit.

Finally, we should combine knowledge with practice.

1, the criterion of a good work-pleasing to the eye (* * * singing, interest, concentration) pleasing to the eye (beautiful)

2. Create a good work from three places: ① The great events in the world must be in the details. (Starting with the details)-Look at the details with the eyes of discovery ② All beings are equal and interrelated. (Look for connections with anything, don't isolate yourself)-Look for connections in irrelevant things (3) It is both reasonable and unexpected. (Interest points should meet this requirement, which is unexpected and logical)-Recombine your own things.

3, the horizon should be high enough and the mind should be high.

1. Miss Li mentioned a book that she thought was very good: Photographic Composition.

2. Picture management Step 1: Name the folder (use today's date, such as "150323" to name the folder).

3. Bridge suggestion interface: upper left folder, lower left filter and right photo.

4.ctrl+B: Sample selection mode (a series of photos are put together for comparison), the photos are highlighted left and right, and the bottom is selected.

5. use Raw format.

6, the space bar to enlarge photos.

1, keyboard number or ctrl+ keyboard number to make an asterisk.

2, star shooting method: starting from Samsung, punch a hole for Samsung, especially four stars, shocking five stars. Send a commemorative photo to the star. Five out of four stars, two out of three stars.

3. label. Different types of films can be labeled, such as delay, connection and so on.

4. You can use ctrl+G to build a group and package a group of photos.

5. Use the filter to quickly find the required film among many materials.

1, learn to use portable grayscale instrument or color card.

2.ctrl+R opens ACR in bridge, in which case batch processing can be performed. (You can judge whether your PS and BR are installed correctly, because there is a set of ACR in BR and PS, and the ACR in PS cannot be processed in batches, which is different from the ACR in BR).

3. Five-tone film process and technical indicators: ① accurate color reproduction ② correct black-and-white field ③ sufficient clarity ④ appropriate saturation ⑤ rich and reasonable levels.

4. The white balance pipette tool looks for 18% neutral gray. You can find something similar to gray without a white balance board.

5. Use ctrl+R to open a group of movies and synchronize all the movies in one step.

1, where there is hue, the color cannot be calibrated, otherwise the complementary color will be added. You can only go to school in three places: black, white and gray. No gray can be used in white and black.

2. Find the blackest and whitest picture first, and make both white and black solid. Beautiful white, very pure black.

3. Color with CMY instead of RGB. Use percentage or zone exposure to make sound.

4. Adjust the black and white field with Alt, and don't have a lot of dead black (shadows) and a pale (highlights) without details.

1, sharpness can be set in several places: ① Do not set sharpness at the camera. ② The sharpness in ②ACR is adjusted according to the film. This kind of clarity will improve the exposure, so pay attention to downshifting when exposing. ③ The third label of ③ACR is sharpened in the last step before the final output. Can not be given directly, sharpening is related to the contour line, it should be sharpened in stages and levels, and it should be processed by masking (local processing). With Alt mask, select the effective range of sharpening (the outline needs to be clear), and white is the sharpening place.

1, the difference between natural saturation and saturation: the former is to propose the purity of looming colors, which is not violent and more acceptable. The latter is to improve the purity of all colors, violence may affect the performance of the picture, not high-grade. Sometimes undersaturation is also a kind of timbre. Films with high saturation are eye-catching, and films with low saturation are sometimes eye-catching. Therefore, it is necessary to control it properly.

1, pay attention to the histogram.

2. Level is a matter of tonality.

3, finished in front, and finally you can adjust the color temperature to render the atmosphere.

1, first set the purpose of the output, and print the circle of friends on the webpage.

2. Click on the lower left corner to save the photo after film adjustment.

3. The preferred format for printing is TIFF, which is stored in Br or Ps.

4. Choose to compress LZW or ZIP without loss.

5. Color space: Adobe RGB for cameras and printing. Use sRGB only when there is a web page.

6. Color depth: Select 16 bits/channel. (8 bits per channel with 256 colors, 65,000 bits per channel 16 colors)

7. In PS, save as TIFF, embed Adobe RGB, and select Compression.

8. When saving, uncheck the resize box and set it as the default size.

9. Put TIFF into the current folder and create a new finished product folder.

10. It needs to be output as a webpage picture. ① Continue to use Br, open TIFF, save it as jpg, give the quality an even number of 6 or 8 or 10, change the color space to sRGB, the color depth can only be 8 bits, and the output size is 1500~2000 points. ② With Ps, click File-Script-Image Processor. Select the finished product folder with quality of 8 and change it to sRGB, 1500~2000 points, including ICC configuration file. (Recommend the latter)

1 1, works folder. If you choose one for your work every month, you can print a desk calendar.

1, the decisive moment of a good photo may not be reached, and a second composition is needed.

2. Bresson (inverted viewfinder), student: Mark Lyu3 bu4 (dance painter). Inversion eliminates a lot of interference, and the observed world is not the world in the impression, only some physical things can be seen, so the things taken are different.

3. For horizontal and vertical correction, ① you can use the straightening tool to cut according to the required effect of the photo.

1, horizontal and vertical corrections can be made by ② lens correction, manual and automatic correction.

2. Before processing photos, do camera calibration, lens calibration and horizontal and vertical correction, and then do the above five steps.

3, photography basic skills, can you shoot straight.

4. Dark angle can be corrected by lens vignetting.

5. For lens calibration, to delete the color difference check box, please start the lens profile calibration check box. Must fight.

6. Camera calibration (standard, landscape, nature, portrait)

7. Summarize the standard process: ① folder naming (date folder, finished product folder, jpeg folder, work folder); ② star filtering; ③ Camera and lens calibration; ④ Five specifications. ⑤ Local treatment.

1, the second composition is subtraction, narrowing to the interesting center, narrowing to what you want, and the picture is clean.

2. Learn "Photographic Composition"

3. Thinking: ① Can the photographer integrate into the current shooting environment at the moment of shooting? ② Does it make the viewer feel empathy? These are all related to my own experience and experience. )

1, three tools: brush, filter and radial.

2. For local adjustment, first move the parameters, and then use the tool.

3. When using the gradient filter, reduce the picture first.

4. The gradient filter can only go from the edge to the middle.

5. If you want to add a filter, you must first click "New".

6. Brush: Feather is the range of gradient. Don't drive too much traffic, but focus more. You can brush slowly.

1, find a breakthrough and dig something.

Everything you have learned should be traced back to the source. For example, to learn calligraphy, learn seal script first.

3, photography can learn black and white first, find a favorite black and white master, and dig deep into life, work style and category. A careful analysis of all his works. By the way, collect photos about shadows.

1. Be ambitious when you study. Three learning requirements (see above)

2, first master black and white, understand lightness control, and then color.

3, HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) module, black and white only lightness (gray)

4. Hue-the name of the color, saturation-brightness, lightness-brightness.

5. The target adjustment tool is matched with the HSL module. Right click to select.

6, curve adjustment to see the "transparent" video.

1, the color is very rich, and sometimes the amplitude is out of control. Therefore, entering color control too early is not easy to control.

2. When looking at color photos, we should start with color tones. Sometimes it is colorful, but it is not focused.

3. In black and white photos, it is to control the light and shade to control the photos.

4. When making black-and-white films, it is not recommended to turn to gray directly, but to turn off the saturation of all colors. The advantage is that hue and natural saturation can be continuously controlled and adjusted, and the adjustment range is wider. In addition, a color can be reserved in black and white film to make the film look special and create a low saturation atmosphere (German).

5. Black and white movies rely on black and white to create layers.

Lesson 20: Tonality A

1, you should decide in advance what tone your film should be tuned to, and you should not be aimless at will, but have a hunch. The reason is that there are too many color levels to balance.

2. Tone refers to the tone and tone of a photo. Tone is to solve the relationship between visual images, the contrast between reality and reality and the hue purity of color. Through these questions, the audience can feel the change and flow of light and feel the visual beauty of rhythm and rhythm. Both color and black and white have hue problems.

3. Tone comes from music. Shadow: light and shadow, light and shade, black and white relationship (rhythm) (brightness and softness, etc. ), hue (tone), color (rhythm)-(cold and warm, etc. )

4. The basic function of tone ① The basic function: create color and light effect, and form the tone (tone) of film color and black and white tone. (such as oil painting photos, it plays an important role in learning from others. Picasso: Good technicians copy works, and great artists steal inspiration. Qi Baishi: Those who learn from me live like I die) ② Accurately express the subject. The accurate expression of tone will greatly enhance the expressive force of the film. ③ Render the movie atmosphere. ④ Withdraw the film's personality and style. ⑤ Create characters.

You can see the brightness difference when the color turns gray.

6. Adams zone exposure method: divided into 1 1 zone. 123 is low key, and 456 is medium key. 789 high-profile, 0, 10 all black and all white. It is a long key across all levels, a middle key across five levels and a short key across three levels.

7. Start with the medium-long tune to understand the relationship between tune and shadow.

8. At present, low tenor and low long tone are popular.

Lesson 2 1 lesson: tonality b

1, only black and white-full-length tone

2. Mode: nine-tone, full-length tone, hard tone and soft tone, warm color and cool color, contrast color (exaggeration), harmonious tone, strong tone (pure tone) and light tone (light tone). ...

3. Set the tone first and then set it.

4. If the work is not convincing enough, try to be clear, beautifully written, focused and focused.

5, a photo can not be characterized by a certain tone, often interrelated and comprehensive.

Lesson 22: Tonality C- Adams style medium-long tune

1. The adjusted parameters can be pre-stored in ACR.

2. Methods of cleaning and adjusting parameters: ① upper right corner of the picture-development setting-clear tone ② Delete xmp in the folder directly.

3. Do gradient first and then fade, there will be a hierarchical relationship.

4, brush liquidity at 20%, brush slowly.

5, to be a theme, you can't cover everything, you must have a key point, you must have subjective emotions, with your own emotions, what should I show, highlight the key points, and subtract the rest.

Lesson 23: Tonality D- Full-length Tone

1, protruding downward, highlighting details; Raise shadows and show dark details.

2. Think about what tonality you need to do before making a movie (mentioned above).

3. You can repair or delete some unnecessary elements that affect the visual effect and interfere with the picture. (you can do it in ACR or PS)

4. Content-aware mobile tool, which can move elements to the required location. (In the case of only considering the picture without considering the authenticity of photography)

5. By adjusting the scale of the picture, another perspective can be realized.

6. Full-length tone is suitable for films with large contrast.

7. Exaggeration is the first technique of artistic expression.

8. Balance is sometimes the biggest thing that destroys movies, and the impact of movies is often lost to take care of balance.

9. Silhouette is a full-length sound, but full-length sound is not equal to silhouette. We should properly control the details, but also pay attention to the material and texture.

Lesson 24: Tonality E Low Short Tone Practice

1. Find the object to control.

2. Selection of highlight method 1: Select-color range-① sample in the bright part of a point photo-and then select the tolerance value (not allowed). (2) Select color or high, medium and low light (quasi)-Select-Inverse Select-Layer-Copy and Create Layer-Positive Overlay. Finally, with the brush tool, fine processing: splicing (stamping) ctrl+Alt+Shift+E, selecting parts (such as eyes), feathering-copying to create layers-color filtering (or pseudo-color)-brushing meticulous brush, dipping in white, and brushing out highlights.

3, to do black and white, you have to decide what color tone to do.

Lesson 25: overview of f key

1, the film can't be aimless, it should have a purpose, depending on the color.

2. Pay attention to the use of exaggeration.

3. Learn to analyze what key movies are suitable for.

Lesson 26: Comprehensive exercises

1, the importance of tone: the purpose of tone patches. But this is not the only indicator.

2. Start from the whole, enter the part, and then return to the whole.

3. Sheikh's six methods: vivid charm, brushwork, pictograph, coloring and class, commercial orientation, transfer and modeling.

Lesson 27: High ISO Noise Reduction

1, sharpening in three places: ① camera sharpening is off, ② sharpness in BR (actually for texture) and mask sharpening (see above), and ③ sharpening in PS.

2, you can use high ISO, don't care about high ISO for good photos. The biggest core of noise reduction lies in adding black (because noise appears in black places). Br Noise reduction method: detail label-reduce noise (noise can be divided into colored noise and white noise, both of which should be reduced)-adjust brightness and color noise-use the following two together-and finally supplement black. Finally sharpen it.

3, noise reduction and sharpening are not divided into front and back, generally sharpening in the back, subject to the film.

Lesson 28: Photography and Lens Correction

1, stitching is to get a larger-scale photo.

2, the large scene is vertically composed, and a larger size photo can be obtained.

3, when shooting to overlap more than 25%. The less late deformation, the more effective pixels.

4. Select five films in the Br-Tools-Photoshop-Photoerge-Mixed image-(press and hold the Alt key to click the mask to display the mask status) -ctrl+E (synthesize a layer, and then you can't cut it directly) -ctrl+T (switch between free transformation and deformation mode)-Drag the picture up and down, press and hold, and then confirm-and fill the hole. The following is the most critical step, filter-lens correction-horizon correction-distortion-lens correction and so on. Finally, cut the picture, first select it, then ctrl+J (copy) and then ctrl+T (compression, free transformation)-then cut it without losing pixels.

5. Finally, click Filter and CR Filter to return to ACR.

6. The tab should be in the m file. Lock the aperture shutter to avoid different photos.

Lesson 29: Lightroom Workflow and Default Settings

1, Lr is specially designed for photographers, and photos need to be imported into Lr from the hard disk.

2. First, add your own logo in the upper left corner of the software.

3. The upper right is the later workflow.

4. First, import photos into the gallery, view photos in spaces, and then space 100%. Triangles can open and close menus.

5, the back is exactly the same as ACR.

6.Lr The best way is to save the effect and save it as a preset file, which can be applied later. Ctrl+ comma, pop-up dialog box, showing Lr preset folder. Import presets. Put presets in this folder. Turn off Lr and restart, and the preset file will appear. Or right-click the import preset directly.

7. Presupposition is not all, so it should be considered in detail.

8. You can preset the lens and camera calibration. Save time and improve efficiency. Then fine-tune the details.

Finished taking notes.
