How to take pictures of people at noon

Question 1: How to take portrait photos 1) What kind of lens is most suitable for taking people?

A medium-distance zoom lens or a fixed-focus lens can be used. Shooting people with short focal length often exaggerates their facial features and sometimes makes their noses look bigger than they really are. When using the 85- 135mm lens called portrait lens, the five senses will show the correct proportion. And too long focal length will flatten the face.

2) The shooting distance should be as close as possible

If your character is so small on the screen that his face can't be the center of the performance in the photo at first glance, the effect is of course poor. The solution is simple, that is, close to the subject. Robert capa, a famous war photographer who recently produced Beauty, said: If your photos are not good enough, it is because you are not close enough. In addition, when composing a picture, try to keep your head in the upper part of the picture, so as to coordinate the proportion of the picture!

3) Simple clothes

Colorful clothes tell the audience to shift their attention from the person being photographed and try to use simple design and quiet colors. Many portrait photographers just ask their subjects to wear a cloth with a harmonious color when shooting. This will make the whole picture clearer and fresher. Give people a feeling of returning to nature! In addition, we should pay attention to color matching, and reasonable color matching will make the shooting theme more prominent. Generally speaking, without pursuing special artistic purposes, the complementary colors of red, blue and green are yellow, magenta and cyan.

4) adopt a large aperture

This will make the depth of field shallower, make the subject more prominent, and make the characters the only subject and focus. But a large aperture will make the depth of field too shallow. If one eye of the character is farther than the other, it will cause the eyes on the screen to be out of focus or blurred. You can abandon the background and use a smaller aperture when you remedy it.

5) Use as many vertical pictures as possible.

The horizontal shooting effect is better when shooting group images, but the vertical shooting effect is better than the horizontal shooting when shooting only one person. Vertical width adapts to the "rectangular" shape of people, making the main body stand out. At the same time, the vertical picture reduces the background and makes the main body more prominent.

6) Rational use of light

When shooting people, the most taboo is to directly use the light above your head. This light will produce shadows around the eye sockets, nose and chin. Direct flash (facial expressions are often stiff and produce shadows) and sunny outdoor (eyes can't be opened) ... these occasions are not suitable for shooting. We can shoot in some cool places, under sunny trees ... It will be very helpful for us to use auxiliary equipment such as flash, reflector and reflective umbrella reasonably and skillfully.

In addition, as the saying goes: the eyes are the windows to the soul. I think the most important thing in human photography is human eyes. But for a beginner, this problem is often ignored. Still don't know how to shoot people's eyes! Outdoor, we often use flash to fill the light and shoot the eyes! In fact, there are many methods, such as showing the subject a luminous object ... which need to be discussed separately.

The above is my experience. But if you want to shoot really good works, you need photographers to observe life deeply and record life from an artistic point of view. Capture every bright spot in life, record beautiful moments, love life, enjoy life, pursue beauty and create beauty ... this is photography!

Finally, I wish everyone can make good works! Let's enjoy the fun that photography can bring us!

Question 2: How to take a picture with clear characters is the same as a picture with clear characters and blurred background. They are all lenses with shallow depth of field, but the difference is that the blurred characters are not in focus. The specific method is: 1) To get a shallow depth of field, you should use a large aperture, a long focal length and a short distance. As far as your shooting is concerned, a large aperture is necessary, and you can use a lens with a medium focal length; 2) Usually, the basic setting of a digital camera is central focus. When focusing, it is easy to do it if the character is not in the center. You can focus directly on the background instead of the characters. If people are in the middle, if your camera has a focus lock, it is AFL, which is easy to handle. After the background is in focus, lock the focus, then re-compose and take pictures. If there is no focus lock, the easiest way is to enlarge the field of view a little so that the person is not in the center focus position, shoot as above, and then cut.

I don't know if I can make it clear.

Question 3: how to take photos of high-profile people can't be done overnight ... no matter what you use to take photos and where you take them, you can't do it without better shooting skills. Usually, you should practice taking photos more. Start with simplicity and try one thing from different angles (different pictures produced by different light ISO, shutter, aperture and parameters), and gradually improve in the process.

Question 4: When taking a portrait with a camera, how to set the aperture priority? Highlight people with large apertures, such as 2.8, 3.5, 4, 5.6, and use small apertures for people scenes, such as 8, 1 1, 16.

Question 5: How does a SLR camera shoot a sunny portrait? From this photo alone, this is a photo with a side backlight.

Station:

The model has his back to the sun, and you are facing the sun and the model.

Aperture:

Look at the parameter of the maximum aperture of your lens, that is, what is the minimum value of the number after f, and recommend the range of F3.2-F5.6. This can blur the background and create a shallow depth of field effect.

Shutter:

It is recommended that you adopt aperture priority mode, that is, AV file. Through the aperture mentioned above, the shutter value is automatically matched after the face is measured.

Photometric determination:

Measure the light with the clearest surface you want.

Focus part:

50 focus, 85 focus, 135 focus, 200 focus can be competent, just the distance from the model. If you take portraits, a fixed-focus lens is better than a zoom lens.

Others:

Because it is the backlight surface that needs to fill the light, you can use a flash or a reflector. Otherwise, it may become a silhouette effect.

I hope to adopt with my hands on my head. Thank you. If you still don't understand, you can ask.

Question 6: How to take pictures of people in backlight with SLR? Backlight has always been a problem.

Is that the face of the task may not have a three-dimensional sense.

But the backlight has other surprises.

I don't know what kind of film the landlord will shoot.

If it's a walk,

Or in a culvert

Backlight gives a protagonist black light and shadow, which is a very emotional movie.

If it's a close-up

First of all, it must be spot metering.

Secondly, the aperture is opened to the maximum.

It is best if there is a reflector.

In a word, I personally think

It is very comfortable to shoot some black and white light films under the backlight.

So it depends on the personal style of the landlord.

hope this helps

Question 7: How to shoot people under the blue sky with a SLR and in the weather with good air quality, and use a circular CPL polarizer. Its working principle is to selectively filter light from a certain direction. By filtering out a lot of polarized light in diffuse reflection, the light intensity in the sky is weakened, the sky is darkened and the contrast between the blue sky and white clouds is increased. Look at the viewfinder and rotate the front mirror of the polarizer when shooting. In the viewfinder, the effect is most obvious when the sky is darkest, and the difference between the darkest and the most appearance is 90 degrees. In addition, using a good polarizer requires some skills. You can use your right thumb and forefinger at 90 degrees, the forefinger points to the sun, and the thumb direction is the best shooting direction. In addition, because the polarizer will lose the aperture of 1/2 to 2 when the polarization effect is the best, exposure compensation is needed, and generally the exposure of 1 2 will be increased.

Question 8: How to take good photos with a SLR camera? You can easily take beautiful photos of people by using portrait mode. The camera not only automatically selects the focus, but also sets the image quality to a mode more suitable for shooting people. Basic setup steps/methods: Compared with the conventional automatic mode, the camera setup in portrait mode has two characteristics. One feature is the use of aperture effect to blur the background. The aperture value of portrait mode is automatically set to be close to the minimum aperture value of the lens used (the aperture blade is fully open and the most light passes through). Through the aperture effect, the degree of background blur is improved, and people are highlighted and more eye-catching. Another feature is to use the photo style to adjust the tone of the photo to make the skin texture softer. In addition, the exposure is brighter, which makes the skin appear whiter. Although the color tone has not changed much, the skin of the characters will be slightly pink, which makes the characters look healthier and more energetic. When shooting bold close-ups, if you cut off the upper part of your head, you can highlight the expression of the characters. At the same time, a certain margin should be left or right, which can make the composition more harmonious. There is no fixed requirement for the way of blank space, but it is best to leave blank space on the outside of the character's face to obtain a more natural effect. It is also a good idea to change the composition with a low-angle backhand and use a low-angle backhand role. You can get an artistic effect.

Question 9: Take class photos in the afternoon. How to set the parameters of Canon 60d and then how to shoot the aperture first. Aperture above 8, 1 1 is better. Ensure clarity before and after.

Then don't shoot with a wide-angle end, which will easily lead to small characters in the front row and back row. If space permits, it is best to use more than 35mm, which is equivalent to about 50 focal lengths of the whole frame.

Take more photos and keep your eyes closed occasionally.
