How to take good photos?

Taking pictures looks easy, but it takes a lot of thought to take good pictures. So how do you take good photos? Let me answer for you, I hope I can help you!

Many times, when we have a camera with good performance, we can't take satisfactory photos. The reason is that the printed effect is not the same as that seen when shooting, especially in terms of pigments. John Yixi, a former AFP photographer, has published his works in major newspapers in China. Among them, in last year's South Asian tsunami, he took amazing photos of the disaster scene in Phuket, Thailand, and let the world see Phuket, which was hit hard by the tsunami. Besides, he was the only professional photographer on the island at the time of the incident. Cosgrove, a well-known photographer, pointed out that in order to take good photos, digital camera users only need to know the following four elements to control digital cameras: white balance, color space, how to maintain digital cameras and control shooting speed.

1. The new machine was reset. He reminded users who just bought digital cameras not to let them keep the automatic settings adjusted at the factory. These automatic settings include: white balance, ISO speed and contrast. Adjusting these settings to initialization settings will help improve the visibility of photos.

He also suggested that photographers try to use different white balance modes to shoot. In particular, shooting some pictures with characters inside can create a different feeling. For example, using sunlight or candlelight mode, the characters in the picture are brought out of the breath of life through photos, making the photos look vivid.

3. Understand the color gamut of the camera. Digital cameras process photos through digital chips and analyze the colors in the photos. Mastering the color gamut is an important part of these color assignments, so that digital cameras can identify different colors. He also pointed out that in the color gamut, there are red, blue and cyan respectively, instead of the traditional red, blue and cyan. He pointed out that general digital cameras use sRGB color gamut, which is often close to the natural color gamut of the real world. Now there is an Adobe RGB color gamut with a wider color gamut, which can make photos look brighter. Users must understand this to avoid any difference between the photos taken and the results developed.

4. Fully maintain the camera. Use a battery-powered camera. If it is not turned on for a long time, it is best to take out the battery to avoid affecting the camera body. In addition, every time the photos in the memory card are downloaded to the computer for storage or modification, the photos will be stored or burned on the CD. Do not use the memory card for long-term storage to avoid losing it. At the same time, after each photo download, format the memory card with the camera to make good use of the space in each memory card. When not in use, it should be stored in a clean and dry place to prolong the service life of electronic instruments.
