Mobile phone photography skills

1, don't shake your hands, be energetic.

A common problem in mobile phone shooting is blurred shooting, because the focusing process of mobile phone is slower than that of camera, and the shutter will be slower in ordinary indoor environment because of the small size of photosensitive element, so the shooting posture is very important. The best way is to hold the phone with both hands.

When shooting indoors or at night, the camera will slow down the shutter to get more light because the light source is weak at night. At this time, as long as you shake it a little, the image will be seriously blurred.

Therefore, if you can look for railings, flower beds or low walls around you and lean your elbows on them as support points, you can make your hands more stable. In addition, don't put down the phone immediately after pressing the shutter, but keep the original posture for 5 to 10 seconds, and don't press it and leave, so as to take a clear photo.

2. Zoom basically depends on walking.

The biggest difference between most mobile phones and digital cameras is that mobile phones don't have a light zoom lens. After all, the lens of a mobile phone is very small, so it is not easy to realize an optical zoom lens. Of course, Samsung has also launched related products before, but the volume is relatively large, which does not meet the development trend of thin and light mobile phones.

So at present, most mobile phones only have digital zoom, so under normal circumstances, you should not use digital zoom. If you want to make the theme bigger, come closer.

We often say that if we go out, we will find a more wonderful world. The same is true for mobile phone photography. Step into every scene you want to go deep into, and don't let go of any excellent shooting angle, maybe you will have unexpected gains.

3. Don't be afraid of light

The quality of photos has a lot to do with the proper use of light. Making good use of light can make photos rich in color, distinct in layers and prominent in theme, and increase the artistic effect of photos. Taking pictures outdoors can be roughly divided into front light, side light, backlight, top light, scattered light and so on according to the different positions of sunlight and shooting objects.

Camera phones have higher requirements for light. When the illumination is high and the environment is bright, the shooting effect will be better. However, the light will not be transferred by personal will, so it is necessary to change the shooting angle at any time and pay attention to the irradiation direction of the light.

Try to make the subject naturally illuminated by light. Generally speaking, the side light can better highlight the texture of the object, so we should make full use of the side light. When backlighting or side backlighting, you can consider blocking with objects. If it is impossible, cover the camera with your hand to reduce the influence of backlight.

You should also pay attention to shooting under strong light, and try not to shoot with the backlight of the mobile phone lens (unless it is the backlight effect you are pursuing).

4. The shooting background is often the most dramatic.

Whether shooting with a mobile phone or a camera, one of the shooting techniques often mentioned is to pay attention to the' cleanliness' of the shooting background. When shooting with a SLR camera, you can blur the background with a large aperture lens to highlight the subject, but the control of the depth of field by the mobile phone is limited, so it is not easy to blur the background when shooting such a large subject as a character.

It is also worth learning to reduce the angle of the mobile phone, focus on the background, blur the foreground, and make the couple in the background clear.

5, keep the phone lens clean

There is another small detail that deserves special attention. Although the camera of mobile phone has a wear-resistant protective layer outside, fingerprints and dust can easily stain the lens, which is not conducive to shooting.

The first point is that the photos taken are blurred, which will also affect the focusing error of the lens and reduce the luminous flux, which will greatly affect the quality of shooting. So it is also important to see if the protective layer in front of the lens is clean before shooting.

6, the use of mobile phone accessories

If you are a high-end mobile phone photographer, all kinds of mobile phone gadgets are essential. At present, there are mainly additional lenses in this kind of accessories on the market, including fisheye glasses, wide-angle lenses, macro lenses, and small tripods to meet your needs of shooting night scenes. A good lens can also add filters (polarization, dimming, starlight, gradient) and click for details.

A small macro lens of mobile phone can make you take more interesting photos.

7, flexible use of noise

Now most mobile phones can be said to be? Sunshine machine? When the light is insufficient, there will be more or even unbearable manic points, which is caused by the limitations of photosensitive elements. In order to control and reduce the amount of noise in photos, we must choose low sensitivity (ISO 100 or even lower) or shoot in sufficient light.

But we can't blindly resist noise. In some photos, the addition of noise will make the painting full of style and bring nostalgic and retro flavor.

8. Who said that mobile phones can't take pictures of scenery?

Shooting scenery is not the strong point of mobile phone photography. We can't ask for the texture, details and lighting effects of scenery films taken by mobile phones like professional technical cameras. However, we can start with some details and take advantage of the advantages of convenient composition, flexible angle change and strong adaptability to the environment to challenge the big machine.

Nowadays, many smart phones have panoramic photography function, which can easily shoot large movies.

If you embark on a journey, your mobile phone may be your most loyal and intimate partner to some extent, and you can use it to find the right angle to shoot at any time and place.

9. Mobile phones are suitable for documentary shooting.

My favorite thing is to shoot some humanities and documentary subjects with my mobile phone. My understanding of photography is simple. The most important function of photography is recording. We can record the moments that are happening around us through the lens, and the process of recording the contents and events we are interested in can be called documentary.

The portability, concealment and good shooting quality of mobile phones can meet our requirements for making such a record. What is the most important thing to shoot a documentary about humanities? Can be filmed? 、? Don't miss it? .

Many things and events happen in a flash, and even this moment will never happen again. ? Can be filmed? 、? Not bad? At this time, it became the whole goal of our shooting. As for composition and use-up, we don't have to care too much.

10, make good use of the camera mode in the mobile phone.

Mobile phones with powerful camera functions generally support these scenes? Ordinary, intelligent, macro, portrait, landscape, sports, night scene, snow scene, etc. Close to professional digital SLR, if you have time before taking pictures, try to adjust to the corresponding scene, let the machine find the most suitable aperture, focal length and shutter time, and control the white balance.

Face recognition: Now almost all smart phones have this function, and it is automatic, so I won't say much. When taking a portrait, just wait for the little white box to come out and aim at your face before pressing the shutter.

Portrait beautification/beauty: This is a powerful function that comes into being according to the market demand of the majority of girls and gay friends. It can achieve the requirements of freckle removal, peeling and skin color adjustment while taking pictures, and some even achieve face-lifting and beauty contact lenses. Please note, however, that this option should be turned off when shooting scenery, otherwise the picture quality will be damaged.

1 1, the focus is entirely up to you.

In composition, we should also pay attention to its emphasis, level, prospect, middle scene and prospect. Generally, we should focus on the position of the middle scene to avoid the messy background and the picture will be more complete. Of course, what kind of object or scenery to shoot depends on your idea, and you don't need to be too rigid. The foreground, the middle scene and the foreground all depend on your mind.

12, remember not to hold it too full.

The picture is too full: beginners like to let the subject fill the picture with indomitable spirit when taking pictures. Lack of space will bring a sense of depression, which is not conducive to the cutting in the post-production process of photos, and the picture is prone to the disadvantages of being truncated and incomplete.

So when you pick up your mobile phone and get ready to shoot, don't press the shutter in a hurry. Take a few seconds to compose a composition in your mind, and your photos will improve a lot.

13, add some creativity to the photos

Mobile photography itself is a kind of relative randomness. Simple and creative shooting method. So, don't always think abOUT traditional composition methods and shooting forms, so you will be out.
