Skills of taking good photos of your girlfriend on a date

Lead: Maybe on Valentine's Day last year, you will also take out your camera, but you will find that the small camera has become a big light bulb. Selflessly press the shutter and ignore the existence of another person? I like to take photos of my girlfriend, but you never get a surprise when she looks at the photos? Want to take a picture, but always disturb passers-by Let the camera create romantic and sweet memories, not date destroyers. Let's take a look at our proposal.

Girlfriend dating and taking good photos add a photo atmosphere to your travel photos.

The couple chose the 798 Art District full of literary flavor as their first stop on their date. Old factories and post-modern buildings appear together, and a large area of expressive graffiti is worth taking pictures of. But taking pictures of your girlfriend is just taking pictures? This date, turn the photo into a photo!

1, warm portrait in the morning.

? Early morning and evening are the best time to take portraits against the light. At this time, the light is soft, so even if it is backlit, the subject will not be too dark, so we don't have to always follow the rules of taking portraits with backlit light. When shooting the correct picture, the photographer uses the aperture of F2.0 to blur the background, which can create a good glare; Using spot metering, the metering point is aimed at the face; The focal length of 50mm makes the proportion in the picture look more comfortable. As can be seen from the wrong picture, the light comes from the side, the contrast between light and shade on the face is too big, and the picture is not white; From another angle, the sun shines directly on people's backs, illuminating the edge of the outline, causing warm overexposure and instantly driving away the chill.

We can control the intensity of backlight by controlling the position of sunlight in the picture. When its 1/3 appears on the screen, it can shoot a medium-intensity backlight.

The photographer did not let the sunlight shine directly into the picture, and the complete backlight will inevitably make the subject too dark; Let the sun shine on the lens from top to bottom to ensure that the picture will not be overexposed.

You can also add some exposure compensation appropriately to create this white picture to ensure the accurate restoration of the scene environment.

2, change stations to get a three-dimensional sense.

The graffiti wall is the coolest photo background here. How could this couple miss it? The wrong picture is that couples stand in a row against the graffiti wall, and the telephoto intercepts the more interesting part of the graffiti. But such photos tend to lack three-dimensional sense. The best way is to abandon the habit of queuing. In tandem, two people stand at different positions from the camera position, and then take a selfie with the delay function. When shooting the correct picture, the focus is on the female model, and the background including the male model and the graffiti wall is blurred with a large aperture, and the photo immediately presents a three-dimensional effect.

Focus on reading, lock the focus, and solve the photos yourself.

This date, no need to call passers-by, solve the whole body photo by yourself! First, what is the focus mode? Automatic continuous focusing: AF-C? Or? Single focus: AF-S? .

Enter the menu to change? Auto Exposure/Auto Focus Lock Settings? What are the options? AE/AF- lock setting switch switching? Keep the focus locked until the next shooting.

Are you online? AE/AF- lock button? Select AE/a lock and lock exposure and focus at the same time. After all the settings are completed, press the shutter and focus on your girlfriend's face.

Press AE-L/AF-L key to lock all settings; At this time, you can press the shutter to open the delay and walk behind your girlfriend calmly, without worrying about the focus deviation caused by the change of composition.

Discover the ordinary scenery on the roadside

In the afternoon, the couple chose a leisurely stroll and watched them rush through the seemingly boring scenery. The photographer advised them to stop, look around carefully and try to pick up the camera. Maybe an ordinary scenery can surprise us.

1, put the photo in the nine squares.

Three-point composition method is not only respected in landscape photography, but also suitable for taking pictures when traveling. Photographers told them that, especially when there is only one subject in the picture, putting people in the third point can eliminate the sense of rigidity brought by general photography, and the trees in the middle and the models' eyes guide and balance the picture.

2. Fill a simple background with shadows.

In the evening, the sun is low and the shadow is long. We might as well use shadows to enrich the movement of the picture, especially in a single background. Like the background in the picture, it has no characteristics, but the shadow of the dead trees next to it has a strong sense of modeling and has become a more valuable natural background.

Capture the most beautiful face in a low-light room

When this was the highlight of Valentine's Day dinner, the couple decided to choose a bottle of good wine to celebrate. When a girl chooses wine, the boy intends to take a few pictures, but either because the environment is too dark to focus smoothly or because the shutter is too slow to capture her expression; So he turned to the photographer.

The light in the wine cellar is dim and the light is yellow. Photographers use manual white balance to adjust the color temperature to 7500K, creating a dim tone that is in harmony with the environment. And because you can only shoot with your hands, use your hands? m？ Block, which evaluates that the photometry is not too dark while the exposure of the subject is correct; Adjust the aperture to the maximum F2.0, and set the ISO to a high value of 1500~ 1800 without affecting the image quality, so as to ensure that the shutter speed is above 1/30 seconds. However, it is still possible to lose focus. A good way is to set the central focus to focus. Because central focusing is better than other focusing, it can focus faster and more accurately in this low-light scene. When shooting, the photographer will aim the lens at his girlfriend's face, lock the focus and re-compose; The reflection on the bottle formed a light spot, and the wine rack with moderate height did not block the facial light. Her precious moment was successfully captured.

Three steps to find the lost color in winter.

1, adjust hue saturation to increase color.

Winter photos are always gray, and the color on my girlfriend's clothes is not rich, even the red color becomes very dim; Use the later period to restore the original bright picture as much as possible. The first step, of course, is to increase saturation: open the hue saturation tool in adjustment to increase saturation; Because the shadow part is also aggravated, the picture is dark, so it is necessary to increase the brightness appropriately to initially remove the gray feeling of the picture.

2. Use the curve tool to improve the contrast.

Next, we adjust the contrast of the picture appropriately. Because it was around 3 pm when this work was shot, the light outside the window was still very strong, and the picture was slightly overexposed, which was one of the reasons for the gray. We use curve adjustment, and we can use automatic directly in the case of improper exposure like this; Click? In the upper right corner of the dialog box. Automatic? Button, the brightness and color contrast of the picture can be greatly improved.

3. Use gradient mapping to improve the overall color.

Because the area of the window accounts for half of the screen, in order not to make the whole look too monotonous, you can make a gradient in color. Open the gradient mapping tool, I made a gradient from purple to orange, set? Layer mode? In order to soften and reduce opacity, the combination of orange and purple makes the picture warmer in winter.

For similar photos, first increase the saturation, and then use curves to improve the overall texture. If the color of the picture itself is not so rich, you can make a gradient.
