Introduction Skills of Canon 600d Photography: Night Photo Shooting

First of all, choose the right shooting time (night scenes don't have to be taken when it is completely dark, and the best shooting time is from sunset to completely dark)

Note: the shooting time of the night scene is very short, so it is necessary to choose the location in advance and construct the scene.

Second, the shutter setting is faster than the safety shutter to prevent the picture from blurring caused by hand jitter.

Appropriately increase the ISO value to increase the brightness of photos (ISO800 is the limit of 600D).

Three, TV (shutter priority) file shooting skills

Mainly used to shoot moving objects, such as sports events;

In the case of sufficient light, the shutter of high-speed subjects such as racing cars can use 1/500 or11000 seconds;

In the case of insufficient light, the shutter should be lowered, the camera should follow the subject, and the subject of the picture presented is static and the background is moving (virtual);

Fourth, the measurement mode.

Evaluation photometry is usually used when the light is relatively uniform, such as cloudy days.

In the case of complicated light, the central focus can be used to measure light.

Spot metering can also be used in the case of complex light, with stronger contrast between light and shade. Where the focus pair is exposed, it can be used for close-up but not for shooting large scenes. This metering mode is mostly used when the photographer wants to fully express the subject.

Partial metering mode is very suitable for taking landscape photos with the subject in the center of the picture or with little contrast of ambient light.

5. Set the white balance WB according to the light environment.

Outdoor is usually set to automatic white balance, and the tone is enhanced in various modes: daylight-no need to enhance; Cloudy day-yellow; Tungsten lamp-blue; White fluorescent lamp-magenta; Glittering sunlight

Introduction Skills of Canon 600d Photography: Portrait Shooting

First, the lens selection

Large aperture, medium focal length and wide angle are not suitable (easy to deform, but suitable for girls with long legs), and long focal length is not suitable (compressed space has no three-dimensional sense, such as a flat nose).

Generally speaking, the focal length of 18- 135MM is appropriate, and the focal length of 85- 135MM is called portrait-only.

The ISO should be as low as possible to increase the delicate feeling of the picture, and slightly higher if the light is not enough.

Second, portrait composition

Cutting of parting line (head close-up, chest line, waist line, whole body), posture guidance, prop application (flower umbrella, small bag, folding fan)

Close-up of the head: commonly used open composition, that is, the forehead or chin is drawn (if the whole face is in the picture, the picture is not vivid).

Actual distance reservation: close shot (above the head 10- 15cm, below the chest line 5- 10cm), medium shot (above the head10-/5cm, below the waist line 5-15cm).

Third, the shooting angle selection

Frontal portrait: the picture is symmetrical and too rigid; It is best to tilt your face slightly so that the lines will be clearer (except those with higher cheekbones)

Seven-point portrait: it is best to tilt your face slightly so that the lines will be clearer (except for those with higher cheekbones).

Three-point portrait: the face has a large angle.

Profile portrait: highlighting nose lines or moving pictures.

Fourth, the shooting height selection

Upward shot: big chin, rich face and tall figure (leading face)

Bow shot: oval face, big eyes, pointed chin (thin face)

Flat shot: the picture is objective but not vivid.

Verbs (short for verb) deal with environment and background.

If the environment is chaotic and there is a large area of interference, try to open the aperture as large as possible to obtain a smaller depth of field.

Six, portrait photography light

Classification: natural light and artificial light; Strong light and soft light; Front light (dull), back light (purely highlighting the outline), side light (yin and yang face, dividing line highlights personality,), front side light (large area bright area, small area dark area, bright picture), and reverse side light (small area bright area, large area dark area, low picture and prominent outline); Top light, middle light, low light, foot light

The choice of outdoor light is mainly to use sunlight, mostly using side light; You can also highlight the outline in a large area with side backlight and fill the dark area with reflector.

Seven, the shooting of landscape portraits

Common focal length: 24-50MM is recommended, which can accommodate the scenery, but attention should be paid to highlighting the main body-people.

Don't put the subject in the middle of the picture, it's better to put it near the golden line (the golden line of photography is the intersection of two lines with a tic-tac-toe on the camera, and these four lines are the dividing lines. Because putting people or things on these points is the best position of the whole picture, it is called golden section line or golden section point)

In order to highlight the main body and make the characters whiter, you can appropriately increase 1/3EV or 2/3EV.

Portrait shooting in sugar water (very popular at present, with shallow scenery and blurred background): large aperture and long focal length.
