Basic photography techniques and techniques

Photography is a game of light. Where there is light, there are colors, and there are images we see. Here are some basic photography skills and techniques. Let's take a look!

1. How generic?

Using this shooting method, you need to set the camera to the shutter priority mode, and then use a slower shutter speed, generally 1/30s or 1/60s. The camera should follow the subject closely and move with it to achieve the effect of clear subject and blurred background.

Step 2 learn to use the hood

A high-quality hood helps to limit glare, and using the smallest aperture can reduce these spots.

1. When shooting with backlight, side light or flash, it can prevent non-imaging light from entering and avoid fogging;

2. When taking photos in the forward light and side light, the scattered light around can be avoided from entering the lens;

3. When lighting photography or night photography, you can avoid the surrounding interference light from entering the lens;

4. The hood can also prevent accidental damage to the lens, prevent fingers from touching the lens surface by mistake, and shield the lens from wind, sand, rain and snow to some extent.

3. How to produce starlight effect

In order to make the light produce the effect of stars, photographers need to use a small aperture for exposure. The smaller the aperture, the more obvious the effect.

Protect the camera

In the sun, avoid the lens facing the sun directly when shooting, so as not to damage the CCD board.

Try to avoid shooting in rain and snow. If you want to shoot, you should do a good job of protection to avoid long-term low-temperature shooting and prevent the machine from aging. In the cold winter, machines that enter the room from the outside are prone to condensation, just like glasses worn by people.

The correct way is to put it in a sealed plastic bag and take it out when the machine temperature is consistent with the indoor temperature. Be sure to take out the battery when saving after shooting. Store in a dry place to prevent the machine from getting wet.

5. What is Gate B?

B-door is a mode that allows you to be exposed for a long time. Its exposure time is from the time you press the shutter to the time you release it. In the process of using door B, it is best to use tripod and cable release.

Surround exposure

Take more than three photos with different exposures continuously to find the most suitable exposure.

7. What is a polarizer?

The most commonly used and valuable filter can deepen the tone of the blue sky and eliminate glare and reflected light.

8. How to set the horizon

Generally, when shooting grassland and other scenery, the horizon is arranged in one third of the picture. If the horizon is in the lower third of the picture, it reflects the distance of the sea; If it is in the last third, it shows the broad feelings of going to sea.

9. What is the function of fairing?

Guang Shun can make people's faces receive light evenly, and reduce the sense of defects when shooting portraits. Forward lighting is a kind of light with the most flat effect, which is not conducive to the three-dimensional sense and spatial depth of the subject and lacks vitality.

10. What is the function of sidelight?

The effect of sidelight illumination is obviously improved, and the subject can change the light and shade, showing stereoscopic impression and surface texture, which is more in line with people's normal visual habits, so it is widely used in photography.

1 1. What is the function of backlight?

Backlight can outline the shape of an object and separate it from the background. Forming bright lines on the edge of the object shape can render the atmosphere to be expressed and enrich and activate the picture.

13. What is the light of Rembrandt?

Rembrandt lighting technology relies on strong side light to make any side of the subject's face show a triangular shadow. It can split the subject's face in two and make the two sides of the face look different. If you use uniform overall lighting, both sides of the subject's face will look the same.

14. What software is used for format conversion of raw format?

ADOBE DNG, the original format of digital SLR cameras, is converted into a universal original data format DNG, and then edited in Lightroom.
