What basic knowledge does photography need?

Many people think that a beautiful makeup is enough, but it is not. Posture is the most important thing in shooting. As long as you pose when shooting, no matter from which angle, you will shoot nature and beauty. What basic knowledge does photography need? Let's have a look.

1. If you want to shoot a dynamic effect, you can't miss the jumping action, but this posture is also the most difficult to grasp. Because you want to capture the posture and facial expression of instantaneous jumping, and when you jump, your hairstyle and facial expression will change accordingly. So you have to prepare for the designed action first, and you can jump together when you hear the photographer's password, which is not only neat, but also just right.

Hip-butting is an action that every girl likes, which can not only show her lines, but also make herself more charming. If the action is not standard, it will be uncoordinated. Walking doesn't mean pouting. You need to lower your body, lower your center of gravity, and then lean forward so that the lines of your hips can fully stand out.

In the process of taking pictures, many people don't know how to put their hands. If you put them in an inappropriate position, it will also affect the overall beauty of the photos.

1. Press the speed control button to display the speed control screen.

2. Use the multi-function control button to select metering mode, and directly rotate the main dial or speed control dial to change the settings.

3. Press the button to enter the detailed setting page, and then turn the main dial or speed control dial to change the metering mode.

Weighing photometry

Weighted price metering is to divide the picture in the viewfinder into several metering areas, and each area measures the light independently, and then calculate the exposure value by weighted average. This metering method is preset by Canon EOS 5DMark Ⅲ. When there is obvious contrast between light and dark in the environment, the camera's metering system will automatically judge the type of the scene, and then make exposure compensation for the bright sky and shadow foreground of the scene in the picture to obtain a more natural shooting effect. In the complicated and changeable shooting environment, weighing photometry is the safest photometry method, and even novices who are not familiar with photometry are not prone to serious exposure errors.

Spot photometry

Spot metering only measures the light in a small area in the center of the viewer, and the measuring range is about 1.5% of the picture. This metering method is suitable for scenes with complex light and dark distribution to ensure accurate exposure of small-scale target scenes. When taking portraits, birds and macro photos under complex light, spot photometry is often used. When using spot metering, we should pay attention to the measurement method, choose the correct metering point, and try to be close to the subject to avoid the interference of other light. At the same time, you need to be careful not to block the light to avoid metering errors.

Central key average photometry

Center focus average metering is to focus on the center of the whole picture and use the whole area as an auxiliary metering. If the contrast between the subject and the surrounding light is not great, the difference between center focusing average metering and weighing metering is not obvious. Once the contrast between the subject and the background is large, the advantage of center focusing average photometry will be shown. Central button photometry is widely used, and it is often used when you want to highlight a certain part of the picture.
