Canon 5d2 Photography Skills: Shooting People

Basically, we use a larger aperture (within f5.6), a focal length of more than 50 mm, and the shooting distance depends on the whole body, chest circumference and big photos, so the background is blurred, and Av files are used!

Good light, iso 100, poor light, within iso400.

Canon 5d2 photography skills: shooting night scenes

Install tripod, Av gear, custom white balance or incandescent lamp. Aperture above f8 and small aperture can make the light show starlight effect. Use the pre-lifting function of reflector to reduce the machine vibration caused by the lifting of reflector after pressing the shutter. Cover the viewfinder with a square cover on the strap to prevent stray light from entering from behind and affecting the image quality; Within iso200, let the exposure time be as long as possible, let some people who have no intention of walking disappear from the picture, leave no trace, and purify the scene!

For example, if people come and go in the square, you can use a very small aperture of about f20, iso 100. This exposure time will be very long, so the walking figure will not stay in the photo! The square will be clean!

Good lighting: Av files, aperture size should be handled properly; A large depth of field effect can be obtained with an aperture above f8, and a shallow depth of field effect can be obtained with a small aperture.

If you want to shoot a very dynamic effect, you can use a TV file. The shutter is about 1/30. When you press the shutter, the lens moves behind the object at a suitable speed, which will produce a very dynamic effect!

Poor lighting: only handle it as appropriate, plus the use of chasing!

On the tripod, adjust the white balance, automatic or custom white balance; iso 100-400； Av file, aperture f8 or so, adopting slow synchronous flash and Hou Lian flash mode; At this time, the flash will flash twice, press the shutter to flash once, and it will flash again before the exposure is over, so people should not leave before flashing twice.

This can make the characters clear and the background neon beautiful, so that the background will not be underexposed or too dark.

When using Av files, the aperture should be below f5.6 and the focal length should be above 50. Try to shoot the blurred background within 1m!

Iso100 if the light is good; If the light is not good, iso is better within 400.

The above are the practical shooting skills of some scenes of Canon 5D2. I hope you can apply it to the actual shooting and take better photos!
