How to get a good shot?

If you see a soft, round and beautiful light image in the background of the photo. Many people want to know, what is the best way to achieve this soft shot effect? In this article, we will try to explain what a lens is and how to achieve this effect in our own photos.

I. What is scattered scenery In recent years, the word "scattered scenery" has become more and more popular, partly because of its original meaning. As many photographers have said, the word "scattered scene" is now used to describe the vague shadows and shapes in photos. More precisely, this is how the photographer more accurately emphasizes the aesthetic characteristics of the defocused area of the image.

Therefore, there may be "good" and "bad" shots (although this is purely subjective), but in essence, these are all applicable to image areas outside the depth of field.

Blurring the beautiful background is simple: just set the correct aperture setting, let the natural light of the photo get a good image, and create a soft circular lighting pattern. We will try to realize them in the pictures in this article!

Second, where to start? First of all, you need to master some camera settings. In order to create a lens effect, you need a maximum aperture and a short focal length. It is better to have aperture priority (aperture priority mode), which will control the exposure.

According to the function of the lens used, choose the smallest aperture (f value), ranging from f/ 1.4 to f/4 or even f/5.6, but the smaller the better, such an aperture will also reduce the depth of field.

Fixed lenses (that is, lenses with fixed focal length), such as 50mm and 85mm, are most suitable for you to "draw" beautiful scenes, which can be used to reveal that the building number is equal to 1.4, 1.8, so as to obtain beautiful background blur effect.

Thirdly, the depth of field can get the correct depth of field and achieve the effect of blurring. Make sure to keep enough distance from the light source, and make sure that the SLR camera chooses manual focusing.

In order to get the best shooting effect, the subject needs to be as close to the lens as possible. This will make the background light have an excellent blur effect.

4. Foreground and silhouette can be used in daily work once you have mastered the technical knowledge. Try to use a lens in the background of the image and an alternative defocus in the background, such as a person or a still life.

Now try to increase the distance between the foreground object and the background light. You will see that the result will change, and you can choose the best shot.

What you need is a SLR camera with a lens and a small light source. For example, the festival garland will be an excellent shooting object, and the street lamps in the distance are also suitable for creating beautiful scattered scenes.

This will take a lot of time to practice and choose the necessary settings for the camera. However, once you gain enough experience, the picture will get better and better.
