How to travel light and take amazing photos?

I'm glad to answer this question for you. Let's walk into this problem together. Now let's discuss it together.

The following are my personal views and thoughts on this issue. I hope my sharing is helpful to you and you will like my sharing.

Too heavy a shooting machine will always hold you back in the process of traveling, but as people who are keen on shooting, we always tend to bring all the equipment, but this method is only suitable for commercial shooting accompanied by a large number of peers and those close-up shooting plans, otherwise bringing a large number of automobile association commanders will ruin the whole shooting experience.

Let's talk about the key equipment fuselage first.

A high-quality fuselage must be equipped with a heavier single machine. Mirrorless camera, light weight, can ensure the image quality, is your best choice.

How to choose the second shot?

Choosing outdoor shooting equipment is a compromise process. Although you may have a full set of shots, it doesn't mean that you should take them all with you when you are on vacation. You should choose a more versatile lens wisely, usually a zoom lens with a larger focal length range. In addition, you should wear the maximum aperture fixed-focus lens with the most commonly used focal length.

The third is a memory card with large memory.

Theoretically, putting all the photos of the whole trip on one memory card is not an insurance option. If you really need to reduce the weight, replace a pile of 32 gb cards with 64g cards or 128g cards, which can reduce your load. It is important to prevent one of many memory cards from being lost in chaos and reduce the risk.

Battery problem

Spare batteries are essential, but they will also increase your burden accordingly. If your camera is x girla series or t30 series, congratulations, bring your large-capacity charging treasure and you can charge it first.

The above sharing is the answer to this question, and it is my personal opinion and suggestion.

If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct me in time.

Here, at the same time, I hope you will like my sharing. If you have a better answer to this question, I hope to share it in the comments and discuss this topic with you.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy day at work, a happy life, a healthy life every day, a smooth family, a big fortune every year and a prosperous business. Thank you.

How to travel light and take amazing photos?

Let's review the topic first.

First, travel light. Outdoor shooting and mostly travel shooting, there is a demand for scenery and large portrait works, and the equipment should be light and practical.

Second, we should take good photos with amazing effects. There are higher requirements for the quality of equipment.

At this time, how to choose the right machine and lens with the right focal length, fixed focus or zoom? !

Generally speaking, it is equipped with micro-single, and the aperture fixed focus is increased, such as 24mm fixed focus (main scene) and 35mm fixed focus (main text). This is a big framework of choice, because the topic does not stipulate the detailed requirements of theme and quality, and we can equip it according to two situations.

First, the subject matter of shooting is relatively simple, which requires high photo quality.

Professional Quan Huafu SLR+fixed Jiao Da aperture lens. The theme is mainly scenery, and Nikon full-frame machine can add 24mm f 1.4 (the maximum aperture can be reduced according to economic strength); The theme is mainly human and environmental portraits. You can choose Canon full-frame machine plus 35mm f 1.4 (the maximum aperture can be reduced according to economic strength); If you just want to take portraits, 50mm is also a good choice.

Second, the subject matter of shooting is rich, and the requirements for photo quality are not high.

Micro single or general SLR+zoom head. Under this demand, we only need to consider convenience. Naturally, a large zoom lens is the best choice. A 24- 105mm lens or a 24-70 lens is a good choice. The lens is not heavy and most subjects can shoot. At this time, it is also a good choice to match a 50mm setting, so that a large aperture of 50 mm can cope with extreme situations such as low light and night scenes.

1. First of all, make clear what a good photo looks like: the theme is distinct, the subject is prominent, and the composition is concise and compact.

2. If the stunning photos are scenery films, you need to choose good time (morning and evening) and good weather (high transparency, rich colors, etc.). ), as well as snowy and rainy days (see theme statement); Humanistic connotation should be profound; Portraits should also choose good light (diffuse light) and so on; That is, everyone needs to choose a good time.

3, travel light depends on the purpose of the photo, if it is for business use, be responsible for the customer, do not bring additional equipment; Travel selfie, a SLR and a wide-angle telephoto zoom lens (such as 18-200mm) are enough, and it is best to use a micro single lens; The quality of mobile phone shooting is good now. As long as you understand and meet 1 and 2 points, a mobile phone with the lightest travel can also take amazing photos (remember to pay attention to the power).

Subtitle "What's the Most Important in Photography"

Seeing this problem, the post-70 s photographer smiled and had to say nothing.

In fact,

There is no contradiction between the lightness of the equipment and excellent works!

Not only is it not contradictory! On the contrary, in artistic photography, the lightness of equipment is the basic premise of excellent works.

Here is a post-70s photographer who will help you see the sun.

First of all, I want to say,

Easy to travel and handle.

Take an eye-catching photo and share it.

This is not only the realm of photography, but also the attitude of life.

There are all kinds of equipment. Nowadays, mobile phone photography has become an independent photography category. Mobile phones can shoot, polish, cut and share in one go. Seemingly easy and simple, it seems that success is just around the corner.

Photography pays attention to mental method first, then experience, then skill, and finally equipment.

Today's camera performance has far exceeded the era of Bresson and Kappa! But their image is still hard to surpass.

Now, although we have advanced equipment, how many people dare to say that they have achieved Adams' achievements?

Therefore, it is not only by making the equipment high-end and professional, but also by making a master image. The most important thing is the person who took the photo, his thoughts and his heart.

Skills and experience are undoubtedly important. We must learn from others and accumulate.

For example, when shooting at night, you need to set the white balance to the lighting mode, so that night shooting will have a feeling of "quiet and mysterious at night". The sunset in the evening is the brightest time of the day, with a brilliant feeling and full of happiness. At this time, you can adjust the color of the photo to be more beautiful, which will be pleasing to the eye and will not make people feel exaggerated. 9: 00 am to 65438+ 00 am and 3: 00 pm are ideal time for portrait shooting! At this time, high-quality, free, right-angled and extremely powerful light is everywhere. You can use the prepared folding reflector to fill the light for the model, illuminate the dark part, reduce the contrast and make the model look more feminine. Early morning is the best time to shoot flowers outdoors, and the clear morning light gently permeates the flowers covered with dew. We must act quickly to capture this fleeting light.

Fashionable service, busy streets, MengMeng's puppies, exaggerated expressions, sloping old houses, mottled light and shadow ... all these highlights around us make us full of desire to shoot and share.

Finally, you will find that after mastering the basic skills, the most important factor to determine whether a picture is successful is whether you have your own ideas. It's your vision, your perception and your attitude. In short, it is your heart that determines your artistic height. It determines whether the picture is wonderful.

Let's talk about the choice of equipment: whether to use a mobile phone or a camera.

Under today's technical conditions, the biggest disadvantage of a mobile phone compared with a camera is that it has no zoom lens and can't change the lens, and the viewing angle is single. The lens of a mobile phone has accessories to change the viewing angle of the mobile phone, but the mobile phone with accessories is still not as convenient as a digital card. As you can see, there are not many people who use mobile phones to post pictures.

The biggest advantage of cameras, especially professional cameras, lies in the whole system of its main materials and accessories, which is very comprehensive and almost omnipotent.

Macro, portrait, lighting, microscope, astronomy, everything.

Professional cameras are really powerful, but they are still full of frustration in front of small mobile phones. Now they coexist.

Therefore, there is no contradiction between the lightness of the equipment and the stunning picture. In the field of artistic photography, it can even be said that the portability of equipment is the basic prerequisite for creating excellent works.

In fact, photographic equipment has been developing in the direction of becoming more and more portable. From the earliest photography tent used for wet photography, to 8× 10 inch dry wood camera, to 120 film camera, to today's 135 digital camera and mobile phone camera, the volume has been reduced many times, and the performance has been improved many times.

However, looking back, with the progress of equipment, how much has the artistic level improved? Is it as fast as the improvement of equipment? I think we should draw a big question mark.

In recent years, the speed of urban transformation is changing with each passing day, and people have left the old houses where they have lived for many years. So there was a family photo taken in front of the old house. Just looking at the photos of this family's old house is just their own image memory. But imagine that we will collect many photos of this old house and select them for exhibition. Is it interesting? I'm sure you'll find that these photos are no longer just commemorative photos.

Yes, these commemorative photos together reflect the whole side of this rapidly changing era from one angle, so that these ordinary photos can be sublimated into works of art.

It seems that photography is not so mysterious! It's not mysterious at all. As long as you have a unique cut-in angle and sufficient depth, you will be able to turn ordinary into magic, shoot feelings, shoot beauty and shoot creativity ... everything is possible.

Then speaking of this, I think everyone has the answer to the question of how to travel light and take amazing photos.

As can be seen from the title, the subject is an equipment enthusiast and has not been involved in photography for a long time.

Go into battle lightly, don't leave your mind at home, otherwise there will never be a good work-"amazing" means "surprise" with your brain. If you have an eye for "Yan", experience in choosing the right angle and taking photos skillfully, then even mobile phones and fool machines can make amazing films. What surprises people is the image. Few people in the industry ask, "What machine did you shoot it with?" Even if they ask, they ask you how to set it up. Only the equipment controller and the equipment holder will discuss with you what machine to use. His next sentence is "You should use a certain brand of camera or lens."

My point of view is to answer questions seriously, sincerely and objectively, not just to publicize myself. My answer is this: since I travel light, I don't recommend bringing huge and diverse equipment. For example, it is not "light" with a Quan Huafu SLR body and a large ternary lens. If you are light, it is recommended to bring a micro camera and a standard headgear! For example: Sony's A7 series+standard 24-70mm pullover, Nikon's Z7+24-70mm lens, Canon EOS/R series +24- 105mm lens or Sony A7 series. If you don't think it's light enough, choose the micro-sheet of fragments, so it looks light enough. Then take amazing photos. If you don't pay attention to the equipment, you must work hard on the shooting timing and shooting angle. Shooting time, such as sunrise, sunset, clear sky after rain, fog and other special weather conditions, is easy to shoot amazing results. There is another angle, that is, the choice of shooting viewpoint should be special, at least different from that of ordinary tourists, that is, don't go to the location chosen by most people, but try to choose a location and height different from that of ordinary tourists to enhance the amazing content of shooting. For example, the heights of other mountains are short under the sky. The height of the plane and the location that ordinary people can't easily reach on the basis of ensuring safety, so the photos taken will easily surprise the audience. The following pictures are all taken with Sony's micro camera, mainly depending on the timing and height.

24-70 2.8 is enough for most scenes, whether you want to shoot landscapes or portraits, you are competent enough. You can choose to take photos when you meet the scenery with larger scenes, and you can have more details, so 24-70 is a necessary lens for going into battle lightly.

My experience is that a camera and a 35mm or 50mm fixed-focus lens are enough. Don't let go of any subject, always ready to press the shutter to capture the decisive moment. Beginners recommend 50mm, small and large aperture, which can fully practice the sense of lens. Senior people recommend 35mm, which is the best focal length for humanities. Shooting more, seeing more and communicating more is the only rule of photography.
