How to photograph Jiao Wai's heart?

Lead: In addition to the conventional shooting skills, the author shares with you a simple night portrait shooting skill: how to use simple props to shoot sweet night photos with a peach heart background. Come and have a look!

We know that compared with ordinary DC, SLR cameras not only have great advantages in image quality, but also can easily obtain charming background blur effect with large aperture lenses. When taking a portrait, the subject can be well separated from the background, which is very beautiful. The quality of defocus imaging is usually determined by the lens. If there are many point light sources in the background, the point light sources will become beautiful light points after the lens is blurred, which looks very dreamy.

Beautiful scenic spots in Jiao Wai.

The shape of Jiao Wai spot is related to the shape of lens aperture.

Generally speaking, the light spot of Jiao Wai presents a regular circle or a polygon close to a circle, which is determined by the shape of the lens aperture. A good lens has many blades and a large aperture, so the Jiao Wai spot will be more round; The less the number of blades at the lower end of the lens aperture, the more rigid the Jiao Wai will appear. However, there is no conventional lens with a heart-shaped aperture at present. What should we do?

Prepare a piece of cardboard slightly larger than the lens diameter.

It's simple. All you need is a piece of cardboard, a pen and a pair of scissors. The area of cardboard does not need to be too large, and it can completely cover the front end of the lens. Then draw a heart in the center of the paper with a pen and hollow it out with scissors. It should be noted that the size of the heart should not be too large, and try not to exceed the size of the maximum aperture of the lens itself. But it should not be too small, because it will cause serious underexposure. For example, if you use a super-aperture lens with the maximum aperture of F 1.4 or F 1.8, the heart of the peach is slightly smaller than the lens diameter at the front of the lens.

? Second aperture? Finished product production

Shoot with a large aperture lens

Cover the paper in front of the camera.

After the peach heart paper is finished, cover the paper in front of the lens to ensure that the position of the peach heart is in the center of the lens, which is equivalent to replacing the original circular aperture of the lens with a peach heart, and the Jiao Wai spot in the photo will automatically become a peach heart shape. How's it going? Is it simple? Hurry up and test it! When choosing the shooting background, the tree covered with small colored bulbs (rich point light sources) is undoubtedly the best choice.

A tree with colorful lights is an ideal background.

The sky is full of loving romantic figures.

The above photo was taken with a 50mm F 1.4 lens, and the author used the maximum aperture of the lens. The heart paper on the front cover of the lens will not have much influence on the framing, and the camera can also measure light normally. We can see that the point light sources behind the model are all blurred into lovely hearts, and the effect is amazing. On the romantic Valentine's Day night, take a picture of your girlfriend with a heart-shaped background. I believe she will be very happy!
