Tips for home photography

Home photography is a relatively small category, and everyone's understanding of it may only stay in the advertisements of sales and real estate. In fact, it can also be used in our lives to share our beautiful photos with friends, which is also a reflection of life attitude! The following are the practical tips for home photography that I have compiled for you. Please refer to them ~ Practical tips for home photography

1. Use a tripod

For indoor shooting, a tripod is an essential tool for both furniture and still life. After all, no matter how bright the room is, it is just the sunlight that penetrates into the room. With artificial lighting, it looks very bright. In fact, the camera will receive very little light. In order to avoid camera jitter and provide a more reasonable choice of shutter and aperture, the use of tripod has become very necessary.

Second, use live view

Use live view. First, it can be used to assist manual focusing (more accurate than autofocus); Second, shooting at a low-altitude angle can help with framing. The cameras introduced in recent two years are basically equipped with rotating screens, which solves the problem of inconvenient use of optical framing and makes real-time framing more convenient.

Third, use a wide-angle lens to create a sense of space

From the visual experience, a wide-angle lens will make a simple scene extraordinary, even the room we see every day will become much wider after being enlarged by a 16-24mm wide-angle lens. However, we should pay attention to the problem of picture distortion caused by wide-angle lens. Distortion is a double-edged sword. Good use is a plus item, and bad use will ruin your work. Please take your own discretion.

Fourth, multi-angle display

If you really want to shoot excellent home works, you must learn to show what you want to express from multiple angles. A rich and varied perspective can not only enrich the content of the picture, but also get rid of the boring feeling of the photo. Psychologically speaking, the transformation of perspective will make the audience feel more substituted.

5. Choose a seat with a medium altitude

A problem that is easily overlooked by everyone-the choice of seat height. Eye-level framing is our most common perspective, but it will be boring if we use too many plain perspectives; Low viewing angle can create a creative visual experience, but it is not conducive to the display of the actual environment. Therefore, regarding the aircraft seats, we recommend that the best height is half the height of the house, parallel to the wall plane. The biggest advantage of this is to balance the distortion of the upper, lower, left and right sides, which is convenient for direct correction in the later stage. Because eye-level shooting is difficult at this height, that's why we use tripod and real-time shooting.

VI. Use a level

The "level" in home photography is actually a very key point. Many friends may think that it doesn't matter even if it is a little crooked, but it can be rotated and adjusted later anyway. This is also the reason why it is often overlooked. Due to the inevitable distortion, once your camera is crooked, post-repair will become unnatural. Whether it is home photography or other photography, remember one thing: "What can be solved in the early stage should not be solved in the later stage."

VII. Using bracketing exposure

When shooting indoors, the lighting is often uneven, especially when shooting through window light, and the difference between light and dark will exceed the tolerance of the camera. In order to preserve the details of the picture, you need to use the "bracketing exposure" technology, that is, take at least three photos with equal exposure, such as exposure less than one level, normal exposure and over one level, and then synthesize them by HDR technology to get one.

Eight, using flash

Flash is not only suitable for portrait shooting, but also has many wonderful uses in other photography. In order to average the exposure of the picture, in addition to the method of surrounding exposure, it is also an effective way to make light hit the ceiling or wall with the help of artificial supplementary light, and fill the dark part with light by using the principle of diffuse reflection.

Nine, use vertical composition

Using vertical composition can enrich the diversity of composition of your works, and it is convenient for advertising. If it is for commercial purposes, especially consider the pattern requirements for magazine or Internet promotion.

X. Mitigating the traces in the later period

When adjusting the photos in the later period, it is very important to grasp the degree of "appropriateness". If it is taken for fun by yourself, it is fine, but if it is used for commercial purposes, it should be as true as possible. Excessive later period will make people lose trust.
