Documentary photography technology

Lead: For beginners of photography, as long as you dare to pick up your camera, everything will become simple. Strictly speaking, photography is actually learning to look at the whole world you see from a unique perspective and record everything you see and feel at any time. Below, Zihao summed up 9 skill rules according to various occasions and shared them with you.

1, shooting method when people are unprepared

Seeing a girl crying while answering the phone, Miss Kobayashi took a photo of her, hoping that she would be treated gently by the world.

Skill requirements: Don't hesitate to shoot in direct focus. The work done in the early stage is photometry and visual measurement of the distance of the subject. Familiar with the camera in your hand, focusing quickly, in a word? Quick? . The disadvantage is that it is easy to be found, so the shutter sound must be small. It is especially suggested not to use the flash. Fast and accurate is its height control realm.

2, waiting for the shooting method

On the bus from Guangzhou to Nanhai, a handsome boy was bathed in sunshine. Of course, everything is under your control. You are fully prepared, concentrate on composition and press the shutter.

Skills: Have keen observation and judgment, and be imaginative and fully prepared for the picture that will happen in one second.

Advantages: it will never be found, and you can even take close-up natural positive photos.

Reminder: If you turn on the flash at this time, it will really spoil the fun. If you cooperate with telephoto, you will have richer performance. This method is also suitable for shooting fashion shows. Properly control the depth of field and wait for the subject to enter the clear range. Because the trajectory of the movement is under your control, you can plan it completely.

3. The shooting method of a diversion from the East to the West

I found a good scene in the street, but I don't want to spoil the atmosphere when I suddenly raise my camera. There seems to be no other place around me that is invisible. Anyway, you can't express your shooting intention. Find a cover and pretend to take a street view, or find friends around you to pretend to take pictures, with photos of people as the background. Remember to stand back and don't get too close.

Advantages: The fool rate is 75.5%, especially when there are other people in the background. The person in such a picture knows that you are taking pictures, but he doesn't know that he is taking pictures of himself. The expression is the most real.

Technical requirements:? Quick? In a word, don't take people as the background when he pays attention to you.

4, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses shooting method

If you have a 300 mm telephoto lens, you can pull the characters over and take close-ups and do whatever you want. The success rate is almost 100%, and the equipment only needs a telephoto. Although this method is suitable for sports photography, inaccessible wild animals and so on. What else? Puppy? One of the common shooting methods.

Advantages: Because the telephoto lens has a shallow depth of field, you can also choose a telephoto lens that includes zoom of the focal section of the portrait lens to shoot portraits. For photographers who do not require a high degree of background blur, this is equivalent to having a portrait lens at the same time.

5, blind shot and wireless remote control.

Generally speaking, it is blind shot to predict the composition shooting without looking at the viewfinder, but blind shot is not shooting blindly, and it is mostly used in the position and conditions that are not conducive to the photographer's shooting, so it is difficult to shoot and needs a lot of practice to accumulate experience. Experienced people, the shooting success rate can reach more than 80%.

Skill requirements: you can also consider composition when shooting, and put the subject on the tic-tac-toe line. Those with higher technical level can also adjust the composition by feeling after focusing is completed. In other words, an experienced blind shot has actually completed the idea of the picture in his mind, although he has not directly observed the subject through the camera.

Wireless remote control shooting: After careful planning, the camera is placed in a fixed position, standing at a certain distance from the camera to observe the modality of the subject, and when satisfied, you can even use the remote control device for continuous shooting, with high success rate and more natural performance. Will not cause psychological burden on themselves. After the camera is fixed, it is not suitable for lively children coming and going up and down. Let us believe that high technology can really change our living habits.

6, light and shadow shooting method

When you see a good moment of light and shadow, you can't help but take out your camera. The role of light and shadow in composition can be divided into: rendering the atmosphere, setting off the theme, balancing the picture, expressing the sense of space in the picture and so on.

Render the atmosphere and set off the theme

Light and shadow is one of the most effective ways to render the atmosphere and set off the theme. It plays a key role in expressing the feelings of the main characters in the picture, and it is also the basic factor to express the formal beauty of the picture. The people and shadows in the picture are completely in the light, which causes the echo of shadows and people. This contrast effect of shadows produces flexible changes in composition, which fully shows the atmosphere of the picture.

Balanced image

Light and shadow can balance the picture, make the picture produce rich and interesting projection changes, and enhance the formal beauty of the picture. People are placed in the center of the picture, and the two sides of the picture are adjusted by the change of shadows, so that the whole picture is balanced and the proportion of people and background is coordinated.

Show the sense of space in the picture

The contrast and direction of light and shadow can enhance the sense of space in the picture. Different light uses produce different light effects, and the effects of light and shadow are also different. Compared with plane light, stereoscopic light shows a stronger sense of space in the picture.

7, blatant shooting method

Special occasion: If you go to a rock concert, school celebration, award ceremony, fashion show, get-together, etc. As long as you are not prevented from bringing your camera in, you can take the photos you want to record with confidence.

Specific identity: the name is not fluent. If you plan to shoot a series of works, know in advance and communicate with the subject. In a word? Can I take your picture? (Of course, if you are a reporter or everyone can understand the shooting needs, ordinary people will not resist) and those ordinary people's smiles are the most real.

8. Comprehensive application method

In particular, these methods are not isolated, and sometimes they need to be used comprehensively to achieve the expected goal. If we can draw inferences from others, I think we can achieve the goal of mastering skills.

9, thinking and discussion

I deeply understand that there are endless shooting techniques and various capture techniques, which require you to constantly think and accumulate experience in the shooting process. Maybe everyone has their own powerful means and shooting methods, as long as you feel it is necessary to shoot? Natural? You can try all the pictures. Comparatively speaking, it is much more pleasant to shoot the moments that happen suddenly or every day around you than to deliberately find MM or natural scenery to shoot. When you have a digital camera, it becomes interesting to capture everything that may happen, because you no longer worry that the photos you take are scrap.
