No king kong iron hand? Have you learned all these hand-held camera anti-shake postures?

For students who use film cameras, the most painful thing is to take pictures at night. Because the sensitivity of the film is fixed, and most of them are not very high, opening the aperture in time does not guarantee that the shutter can be used above the safety shutter. Lowering the shutter means that you need a pair of diamond hands, otherwise a careless little jitter can make all the hard work go to waste.

When we hold up the camera at night, we want to take good photos, but the jitter is inevitable, and even the breathing is wrong.

Sometimes jitter can be avoided, but we use the wrong hand-held camera posture, which causes us to press the shutter in an unstable environment.

Although we can't completely control the low-speed shutter, we can use some gestures to help us avoid unnecessary jitter as much as possible. Human flesh anti-shake is sometimes necessary.

1, clamp the camera with the elbow.

When using a normal hand-held camera, you can keep your elbow as close to your chest as possible, so that you can use your body as a support point to form a more stable effect. Of course, you still need to take a deep breath at this time, then hold your breath and press the shutter, otherwise the ups and downs of your chest may be counterproductive and make your body shake inevitably.

2. Put your right elbow on your chest and shoot sideways.

Like the first one, it also uses elbows and body support. In this case, it is more suitable to shoot with a viewfinder. Lift your left shoulder, put your right elbow on your chest as much as possible, and you also need to cooperate with breathing.

Step 3 fix it with your knees

You need to be stable when you squat. Try not to squat completely, or your hips will inevitably shake your legs when you are suspended (especially some overweight students). Don't care about your manners at this time. What etiquette do you need to take pictures?

Sit down boldly, with one foot as a tripod and elbows fixed on your knees. The stability at this time will definitely be much higher than when you are squatting.

Step 4 get down.

It is said that you should not care about your manners when taking pictures. A competent photographer will only have a good picture in his eyes and will never think of what kind of image he is in the eyes of others. Not all cameras have inverted screens, so most of the time we have to get down when we need to get close to the ground level.

Throwing caution to the wind! Let people lie flat on the floor directly with the camera, support the camera and the fuselage with their hands, and keep the camera as balanced as possible.

5. Use your arm as a support

Now, let's start playing handsome roles. When the left hand is placed on the right shoulder, an upper arm is formed as a platform for placing the camera, and the left hand is close to the right arm to form a stable effect. However, although it looks handsome, whether it is really as anti-shake as the above models is a matter of opinion.

Of course, you can also carry the camera on your shoulder and hold the camera handle tightly with both hands, but at this time you must take pictures with your left eye unless you are not afraid of stiff neck.

6. When you really want to squat down,

Although it is said that you should try not to squat down, sometimes you really have to squat down, such as when the ground is wet or muddy, it is not just a matter of courtesy and face. At this time, you can only squat down.

When squatting, you can fix your elbow on your knee to form a support point for shooting.

Although these postures may help you effectively reduce unnecessary jitter, you should still use human flesh to shake it. In most cases, if you really want to use a slow shutter, you need to find a stand or use a tripod, otherwise all the photos you have worked so hard to take will burn out, which is really depressing.
