Mobile phone photography-how to shoot the snow scene in winter

Unlike cameras, mobile phones have poor adaptability to the environment and there are many restrictions on their use at low temperatures.

So you should make some preparations in advance. First of all, because low temperature will consume a lot of mobile phone power, it should be kept in your pocket to keep warm when not in use.

Second, pay attention to whether there is fog in the lens. This phenomenon usually occurs from a cold place to a warm place. For example, if you walk into a room, the camera may fog. If the phone is old, the sealing is not good enough, and the lens is foggy and can't be wiped off, then you can only wait for the fog to dissipate.

So if you put it in your pocket, don't put it in your pocket close to your body, so as not to make the phone too warm and foggy. Check it occasionally.

In short, the first step, whether it is a mobile phone or a camera, is to ensure that the machine can be used normally in the current environment.

Once it snows, it is the best time for you to shoot the snow scene.

Snow is the most beautiful.

Moreover, if you don't go out when it snows and there is no one outside, you can take a picture of the purity of the snowy day.

Take as many pictures as possible, some big snowflakes will cover the lens.

Good photos are selected from many shots.

You probably don't want to go out when it snows, so wait until the snow stops and the sun comes out.

After the sun comes out, the sky is often clear and deep blue, which complements the snow and makes it easy to shoot beautiful scenery.

Remember to aim at the northern sky, which will be bluer than the southern sky.

If there is no smog.

You can also try shooting against the light.

Although many times, we don't advocate backlight shooting, it is very difficult. No matter how good the mobile phone is, it is not suitable for backlight shooting, even in snowy days, because snow will reflect sunlight and will not make much difference to the brightness of the picture, and the natural light irradiated by sunlight will be beautiful.

The exposure of the snow scene is difficult to control, because white will be considered bright by the camera. If there are too many bright parts, the phone will automatically reduce the exposure, which requires you to manually increase the exposure.

The above picture is accurately exposed. You can see that there are a lot of details in the bright and dark parts, but in the following two pictures, underexposure on the left leads to the loss of details in the dark part, and overexposure on the right leads to the loss of details in the bright part.

In snowy days, the automatic exposure program will generally make you underexposed, so you often need to adjust it manually, but be careful not to overexpose it.

When shooting, you can increase the exposure by clicking on the screen and sliding the sun to the right, and vice versa.

In addition to snow, the winter scenery has several characteristics, whether it is evergreen needles or deciduous broad leaves. In winter, they will look like winter. As soon as you see them, you will know, oh, winter is coming. You may think that the bare tree is too bleak, but it has a unique charm after being covered with snow.

Trees covered with snow have the feeling of Christmas.

Some trees are tightly covered with snow, like a white sculpture. Such scenery is also very interesting.

The snow scene is mostly white. Under the cover of snow, the whole picture can be turned into a white background, so that a small number of people or things can be used to decorate the foreground, and a large film will be shot.

Snow makes people feel cold, but you can change the color temperature to make the photos warm.

You can use Snapseed to make adjustments.

Select Tools-White Balance to adjust.

What is the adjustment?

The answer is by feeling.

This is a hint. If you capture the sun, as shown below, you can lower the color temperature, that is, make it warmer, so that the photos will form a very interesting contrast and make people feel warm in winter.

You can also increase the color temperature and make it cool.

The scenery in winter always gives people a kind of tranquility and loneliness, and sometimes a little cool color can highlight this. Of course, this is not the only way. Generally speaking, it depends on your own mood.

Create a sense of depth.

You can try some close-ups and take photos of snowflakes, which are very nice.

Close-up details are often overlooked in life, which makes photos even more special.

Auto-focus of mobile phone is easy to be out of focus when shooting close-ups and close-ups, so manual focus is needed.

It's simple. Just click on the part of the screen you want to aim at, and the phone will focus automatically.

Close-ups also have the advantages of blurring the background, highlighting the main body and making the photos look better.
