How to shoot a group activity like hiking?

As a photographer known to all colleagues in the company, you must be named as a volunteer photographer when organizing activities. What preparations should I make when I get here? We should be familiar with where we are going in advance. How many people will go? What kind of activity is it? What are their clothes like? And pay close attention to the weather conditions in those days. Knowing this will help us plan our shooting activities. Then let's look at the outdoor activities of this company.

Planning before the shoot You must plan the event before the shoot and put the company's intentions in place. For example, for this group activity, you should introduce the place and people. Exterior location can take a representative local landscape, and it is inevitable for people to take a big group photo. So when you choose a lens, you should consider taking a small wide angle or zoom, not just 85 or 50, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you can't return it. In addition to the big scene and the big environment, we will also take some intermediate scenes, that is, the interaction between people and the environment, and take small photos; You can take some close-ups in recent photos; There must be a positive film in the tidbits, and everyone will shoot it. Find an empty place to shoot it right, and then give you some slogans to mobilize the atmosphere. Trivia is a time for everyone to relax, not to face your camera. Although such photos are not as unified as the front and back, they are more relaxed and natural, and better reflect everyone's state at that time, so they are indispensable! Local characteristics and scenery When I saw two dogs lying next to the farmhouse, their fearless and complacent expressions attracted me. Climbing to the top of the mountain, the blue sea and blue sky under the scorching sun and the city as small as a pigeon coop have a feeling that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. ; Note: Because group activities are usually shot under the scorching sun, special attention should be paid to avoiding the sun and shooting in the shadow when taking portraits, otherwise it is easy to overexpose. Try to bring it in and out when shooting the camera, otherwise it will bring you great trouble; The above three points are my little experience for your reference. Mountain climbing and hiking are very tiring jobs. In order not to be confused when shooting, I suggest that you make full preparations before shooting, and write down the shooting intention, shooting focus, how to shoot several big scenes, how to divide the middle scenes, close-ups and what to shoot in close-ups, and save them in your mobile phone to ensure that you can have a look when you have no ideas at the scene.

Make good use of natural light and shoot ordinary people.
