Digital SLR indoor shooting skills

In the process of shooting, different indoor and outdoor lighting will require different skills. So what are the indoor shooting skills of digital SLR? The following contents are introduced for everyone.

Digital SLR indoor shooting skills can be divided into natural light and artificial light according to the lighting conditions when shooting indoor still life; According to the reflective degree of the photographed object, it can be divided into high reflective objects and low reflective objects. Then, be prepared before shooting, one is thinking and the other is tools.

When you have a shooting plan, you should first have a shooting idea. It is necessary to have a basic concept of the characteristics of the subject, the type of light, the shooting angle and the composition. The first thing to consider is the characteristics of the subject. This includes its shape, material and so on. First of all, the shape of the object will affect the lens, focal length and angle we use. For example, when shooting a square or rectangular regular object, you can't use wide-angle, near-focus and frontal shooting, otherwise the shape of the object in the photo will be distorted. At this time, the position of the camera must be perpendicular to the horizontal extension line of the center line of the object. Moreover, the material of the object is also an important factor we should consider. If the luminosity of the surface of the object is very high, you can't shoot with a flash or from the front, otherwise there will be a big spot and the photographer's projection on the object; Secondly, we should consider the types of indoor light. If you use natural light, you should be aware that light will scatter and it is not easy to highlight the edges and corners of the object; If you use artificial light, you should pay attention to how to arrange the light skillfully to reduce the projection of the object; Then I want to write a composition. The most important thing here is the position and angle of the object.

First, the preliminary preparation

1 tool

Digital camera-digital SLR camera with flash at home.

Tripod-Support and stabilize the digital SLR camera, reduce the jitter caused by low-speed shutter, and get clearer photos.

Reflective tool-used to fill the dark parts. Light-colored objects such as white paper, white cloth and white wall can be used as reflective tools.

Worktable-Used to place objects. Tables, floors and beds can all be used as simple worktables.

2. props

Articles used to assist in shooting. For example, mirrors can produce interesting refraction effects; Cloth can be used as background; You can also use the projection of the object itself to obtain special visual effects.

Second, matters needing attention

1, the stability of the camera-this is the place that should be reminded most in the process of shooting still life. Avoid the invalidation of photos that should be good because of camera shake. So it is recommended to fix the camera with a tripod.

2, light-first of all, we must pay attention to adjust the color temperature, that is, the white balance in digital cameras. Different white balances should be used in different light. For example, two different white balances of tungsten lamp and fluorescent lamp will produce two completely different effects; Secondly, we need to pay attention to the angle of light. For example, the forward light can produce a relatively soft tone, the side light can produce a more vivid effect, and the backlight can take photos with silhouette effect.

3, the use of focal length-different focal lengths will produce different perspective effects. For example, telephoto can compress the space and highlight the main body, but the main body has no obvious deformation; Wide-angle can reproduce objects more vividly, with large viewing angle and strong sense of space, but it will be deformed; Macro is a very useful function in digital cameras. Using macro can shoot some details that are difficult to notice at ordinary times. It can help you find that life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery.

4. Composition-Pay attention to the placement of objects and the angle of the camera when shooting. You can try shooting from various angles, such as overhead shooting and overhead shooting, and choose a position that you think is the best. Pay attention to the balance, fullness and breathing of the composition when shooting.

5, color matching-what I am talking about here is mainly the color matching between the environment, the main body and some props, so that they have a color relationship such as contrast and harmony. For example, yellow and blue will have a contrast effect; Green and blue will have a harmonious effect and so on. In various color combinations, using black, white, gold and silver with other colors will produce simple and harmonious effects.
