What are the skills of subway shooting?

People come and go in the subway, and all kinds of stories happen every day. Subway shooting is also a very important theme. What are the skills of subway shooting? The following is my experience sharing, let's have a look.

1. Shoot people's expressions

There are all kinds of people in the subway, some are rushing to work and some are resting. You can capture a picture with a story with a lens. However, it is too far to use a telephoto lens in a crowded subway, and a 50mm standard lens is enough. It should be noted that not everyone likes to be photographed, and polite advice can avoid many misunderstandings.

2. Use a special lens to get this effect.

If you want to shoot in the subway, you can take 1-3 lens. The suggestions are as follows:

50mm large aperture fixed focus lens. The focal length of 50 mm (35mm for APS-C) is the most standard and easy to master. The large aperture is also very suitable for shooting in the dark subway, which can easily shoot charming shallow depth of field and improve the effect. Moreover, most 50mm fixed-focus lenses are also light and easy to carry.

Fisheye lens. The fisheye lens can provide a viewing angle as high as 180 degrees, which is very suitable for shooting panorama in the narrow environment of Shaanxi, and the visual distortion caused by the fisheye lens is also very special.

18- 105 standard zoom lens. This kind of standard zoom lens is very convenient, and it can cover both far and near shots, but the aperture is generally thin. Pay attention to whether the shutter speed can reach the safety shutter, and upgrade ISO if necessary.

3. Color matching brings effect

Some subways are very old, while others are very modern. You can express different feelings by adjusting the white balance or changing the color later.

Take a snapshot

Sometimes you don't have to care too much about composition. Try to be close to the subject, cut the photo into squares, and use software and LOMO effect to make the photo have a taste.

5. Make good use of the slow shutter

There are often moving trains in the subway. It is also a good idea to bring a tripod, put down the camera without disturbing others, and then slow down the shutter speed to shoot dynamic trains and find motionless passengers as the foreground.

6. Choose the composition angle

Don't always take everything into the photo, it will confuse the composition, and readers often don't know what the photo wants to say. I can try that the photo only contains one or two elements, and then find a special angle of view and press the shutter, so the photography technology will definitely go further.
