Advantages of large aperture

Lead: What are the advantages of using a large aperture in photography? Come and have a look with me now!

Benefits of large aperture If you have a basic understanding of photographic exposure, you will know that the larger the aperture, the more light will enter at the same time, which will enable you to keep the photos clear without upgrading ISO when shooting in low-light environments (such as indoors and at night). ) and make the quality of photos higher.

In addition to effectively improving the shutter speed, it also has another well-known effect-shallow depth of field. Shallow depth of field is the effect of "clearing the front and hiding the back", which can not only highlight the subject, but also make the photo full of poetry and beautiful lens. If you add some tricks, you can even shoot a heart-shaped or other shaped lens with a large aperture. Holiday shooting is very interesting!

Quality lens-is it good or bad?

As soon as many students saw the word "fixed focus", they immediately thought that it was inconvenient for a fixed focus lens not to adjust the focal length casually. There is no doubt that if you can't zoom, it will bring some inconvenience. However, if the environment permits, body movement can not only achieve zoom effect, but also make you develop the habit of thinking more and finding more angles, and make your skills more advanced. Another advantage is volume and weight. Generally speaking, the fixed-focus lens is simpler than the zoom lens, so many fixed-focus lenses are very light and small (such as the standard 50mm fixed-focus lens), with clear imaging and high quality. Fixed-focus lenses generally have little deformation, which avoids the trouble of repairing lens deformation after production.

Therefore, under the factors of cost performance, volume and weight, the large aperture fixed-focus lens is very suitable for novices, especially those with low prices. It is suggested that students consider starting and enjoy the fun brought by large aperture!

Shooting skills (1) Focus carefully.

When the aperture is fully open, the depth of field is very shallow, so you need to focus carefully. Move a little and you will have a chance to blur the subject!

Choose the right theme

Large aperture has the characteristics of deep and shallow scenery. When shooting, you might as well choose some subjects that can make use of shallow depth of field, such as portraits and close-ups. When taking landscape photos, you can try to use objects (focus) to set off the scenery (scattered scenery) and increase the number of subjects.

(c) Do not abuse shallow depth of field.

Although the effect of large aperture and shallow scenery is attractive, don't abuse it. For example, when shooting a traveling portrait, if the depth of field is too shallow, the background will become blurred, so that the reader doesn't know where he is when shooting, and it will lose its meaning!

(4) Walk around to find the angle.

Because focusing is not as convenient as zooming, you can move more and explore interesting angles and things with your photographic eyes, which is also very good for your photography skills!
