What do you need to pay attention to when taking photos?

Good photography works are almost always obtained by snapping, and more and more movie friends are using snapping instead of posing. However, taking snapshots is not easy. Once the subject sees that your camera is aimed at him, he will avoid or lose his original expression, which will make the shooting fail. There are also exposure errors in a hurry, out of focus, hand shake, horizontal skew and so on. This will also be a regret. To improve the success rate of snapshots, we should pay attention to the following aspects. First, the choice of equipment and the familiarity with the lens of the camera will have its advantages and disadvantages regardless of the price. In use, we should give full play to their advantages as much as possible. For example, if the depth of field of a medium telephoto lens is small, it will blur the background and highlight the subject, or it may be blurred by out-of-focus conditions carelessly. In addition, the longer the lens, the more severe the jitter, which poses a threat to hand-held shooting. For cameras with aperture or speed priority, there may be inaccurate exposure during automatic exposure shooting, that is, the ambient brightness is darker than the main body and overexposed; The ambient brightness is brighter than the main body, and the exposure is insufficient. It is too late to correct when shooting with an elevator, so it is necessary to estimate the brightness of the subject and the environment before shooting, and deliberately increase or decrease the exposure. When using a large zoom lens, such as 28-200mmf 1: 3.5 ~ 5.6 lens, the actual aperture will change with the change of lens focal length. If you don't know much about this, you may make a shooting mistake by changing the focal length. The correct way is to use a variable aperture zoom lens, that is, to take into account the change of the actual aperture value and its impact, so as to make corresponding corrections. There is no need to express the familiarity with the equipment. As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect", even the popular MF equipment, as long as it is familiar with the performance, can also "make up for it with diligence" to achieve the goal of rapid shooting. Each photographer's economic conditions and subjects' hobbies are different, and the configuration of equipment should also be different. According to the author's experience, the "standard small zoom", that is, the zoom lens within the range of 28-70 mm, is most suitable for snapshot, and it is more handy if the camera is equipped with aperture priority exposure mode. Second, the choice of theme The main theme of the snapshot is news and documentary. In holiday parties, real events or social life, there is often a feeling that because the scene is huge and the characters are chaotic, I don't know what to shoot. Don't cover everything at this time-you want to shoot everything, but you can't shoot anything well. It is necessary to calmly analyze and think about the lighting conditions and shooting angles, and make judgments, and use the equipment at hand to choose the subject. If your camera is equipped with a wide angle, try to retake the big scene. If you are equipped with a title, don't think about the big scene and concentrate on shooting the good part. If you have a medium telephoto lens, focus on people. But even if you have all the shots, you can't be busy changing them. As a result, you can't grasp a moment well. Third, I am good at hiding myself. When some film friends go out to shoot, they wear a vest with "XX Photographers Association" printed on it, carrying a camera bag, a tripod and several cameras with long and short lenses. It can be said that it is fully armed and the results are eye-catching. Master photographer Bresson's "invisibility" is worth learning-wearing ordinary clothes, mixing in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to shoot with only one camera, can achieve unexpected results. The author also deeply realized the advantages of general dress and simple equipment. Never wear a camera vest when you go out to shoot. You can only carry a small camera bag with two ends (you must bring a tripod). I decided in advance whether to shoot in color or black and white. Once I have made up my mind, I won't change. It's like burning your bridges and forcing yourself to use the equipment at hand wholeheartedly. Robert capa, a war photographer who was blown up by a mine, famously said, "If you think your photos are not good enough, take them closer." . This is really worth learning. Close-up refers to the use of a lens with a shorter focal length to obtain greater depth of field and clarity and capture vivid and touching scenes.
