Wuxi wedding photography teaches you how to use a wide-angle lens.

Wide-angle wedding photos can create a strong perspective effect, which is convenient for taking elegant wedding photos with strong impact, so that wedding photos with atmosphere will make your wedding more beautiful. However, if we don't know enough about the characteristics of wide-angle lens, regardless of whether the subject matter can be required or not, blindly pursuing the bizarre lens distortion effect will lead to some misunderstandings in the application of location wedding photography. So how can we shoot a distinctive and effective wide-angle location wedding dress? At present, almost all the lens groups of digital SLR cameras on the market include wide angle (such as the common 18-55mm). In APS-C frame, 18mm (equivalent focal length 28.8mm) is wide enough in most cases. Ultra-wide-angle lenses refer to those lenses whose focal length is less than16 mm. This kind of lens can stimulate our creativity, but it will also bring great difficulties to its application. On the truncated sensor camera, the focal length of 30-35mm is what we call the standard viewing angle-basically equivalent to the viewing angle of human eyes. At the focal length of 18mm, we can get a viewing angle range almost twice that of the standard viewing angle, while at 12mm, it will increase the viewing angle range by 50%-which is very far from the standard viewing angle we are used to. From this perspective, Chengdu wedding photography users first notice the exaggerated perspective, distorted edges and the relationship between foreground and background. The trees and clouds in this photo are very comic and usually harmless, but at the same time, the photo has also undergone great deformation. Using a wide-angle lens, the picture will contain more scenes and subjects, some dark, some bright, some close and some far. These contrasts will put forward certain requirements for the dynamic range of your camera. If the direction of the camera is not continuous when shooting, the vertical lines in the picture will converge, and the building looks like it is inclined, as shown in the following figure: If you don't want this effect, make sure the camera position is continuous. In addition, this distortion can be corrected by post-processing, but this will affect the quality and size of photos. Due to the exaggeration of the viewing angle, it is usually difficult for a wide-angle lens to ensure the sharpness of the whole photo. It is an effective way to reduce the aperture, but even f/1or f/ 13 can't guarantee perfect sharpness. So you need to decide the focus and the best aperture of your camera and lens. For wide-angle lenses, autofocus also has some problems. Even if the subject is several meters away, it will appear very small and difficult to focus. At this time, manual focusing may be a better choice. First confirm a visual center, and then focus manually. Another problem that wide-angle lenses have to face is lens glare. Because of the large viewing angle, there are often bright light sources in the shooting scene, which is enough to produce destructive flares. The best time to use a wide-angle lens is the morning and evening called "Magic Hour". It is said that wide-angle lenses perform better in winter. Because heavy snow will reduce the light between the sky and the air, it is obvious to use a tripod. As for the super wide-angle lens, "aiming shooting" is the wrong shooting method. Among the shooting spots mentioned above, shooting in the early morning or evening of a day, or reducing the aperture to f/ 1 1, all mean that a tripod is needed. Coupled with the need for manual focusing, we seem to have returned to the traditional photography period-we must carefully compose the composition before each shooting, set up the camera according to the rules, and then take a photo seriously. This is not a problem for landscape and architectural photography, but it is probably not suitable for portraits, sports or street shooting. For architectural photography, contrast is more important than resolution. Another important thing is to find the "convergence" points of all straight lines and focus on them. Wide-angle lenses are not suitable for portraits unless you want a cartoon-like cartoon effect. When shooting at close intervals, objects close to the camera are exaggerated, such as nose and forehead. However, when shooting environmental portraits, the super wide-angle lens is very useful, which can be shot in shops, offices or studios to show the living and working environment of the characters. Super wide-angle lens is very suitable for telling stories, which will add dramatic effect to the picture and be more expressive. It can show us scenes that we have never seen before. Eight rules for using super wide-angle lenses The following are some basic rules: 1. Arrange something interesting in the foreground, otherwise there will be a big blank in the picture. As far as landscape photography is concerned, you can lower the plane position and take in some wild flowers or stones in the foreground. 2. Pay attention to finding lines that are helpful for composition and add better visual effects to the picture. 3. Pay attention to the interesting sky. Because the super wide-angle lens will take a lot of pictures of the sky, you can use clouds to form some lines. 4. Try to stick to the camera level when shooting buildings. 5. In clear weather, polarizer can increase color saturation, while in cloudy weather, medium gray abrupt mirror is suitable. 6. Close to the theme. The closer you get to the subject, the more dramatic the picture will be. 7. Check the pictures carefully and don't take irrelevant pictures, such as your feet and tripod legs. 8. Use a tripod when shooting scenery. Wuxi Primary Color Visual Wedding Photography Bian Xiao explains the steps/methods of framing for you. In fact, no matter what shot, the angle of view is very important, especially in wide-angle shots. When shooting with a wide-angle lens and emphasizing the breadth and tension of the picture, you can shoot from bottom to top. At this time, the tension of the sub-picture is the strongest, and the extension and diffusion of lines are the most impactful. If you want to shoot a clean picture, shoot it from top to bottom, and then you can shoot the cleanest and purest picture. The range of scenery seen from a certain viewpoint is much larger than that seen by human eyes at the same viewpoint, so choosing a low angle of view is a good way to shoot noble and elegant people. The wide-angle lens with large depth of field is particularly large, which means that most objects in the picture can be photographed clearly, which is very conducive to showing the atmospheric scene and taking good photos in dark light. The depth of field is long, which can show a fairly clear range; It can emphasize the perspective effect of the picture, be good at exaggerating the foreground, express the sense of distance of the scene, make the picture have a sense of depth, and help to strengthen the appeal of the picture. Reasonable application of deformation Wide-angle lens is used to moderately deform the subject, exaggerating the deformation of some very inconspicuous scenery, such as this small wooden bridge, and using this radian and extension to enhance the effect of people and the environment, so that people can shoot unusual scenery that people ignore. Wide-angle lens with silhouette effect, with large viewing angle and wide field of vision. It is also a good choice for us to take photos with silhouette effect under backlight condition. According to the standard of perspective, a wide angle can make things near bigger and things far away smaller. The perspective law of near big and far small requires us to show it in the picture, which makes people feel that the gap is opened and produces a strong perspective effect in the depth direction.
