How to adjust the parameters of Huawei mobile phone silhouette?

The basic concept of silhouette is not difficult to understand. The principle of silhouette photo is to make the subject seriously underexposed, only revealing the outline of the subject, while the background exposure is normal. So how do you make a nice silhouette photo or video? First of all, you should have a camera or mobile phone in manual mode. If the default shooting software of your mobile phone has no manual function, you can download an app. There are many free apps with manual function on the market, and iOS 8 already has this function. Here are some key points to make your silhouette work more special.

1. Before shooting, find out the shooting angle of a light source behind the subject to make the subject "backlight".

2. Set the camera or mobile phone to full manual mode, and adjust the exposure value to make the background exposure correct. At this time, you will find that the subject is seriously underexposed. At this time, as long as the action of the subject is captured, you can get a silhouette photo or video by pressing the shutter.

Magnificent sky and body movements

This may be a very common way of silhouette. With a large beautiful sky and as little ground as possible, a clear and easy-to-understand silhouette of a character is outlined, and the interference of expressions, costumes and other elements is removed, so that the audience can concentrate on observing and interpreting the body movements of the characters.

The main material that can be seen through

Dandelion, splash, glass and other materials that can let light penetrate or refract can be cut out in different patterns and colors, and you can also search out various life props to increase the fun of shooting.

Underwater contour

This may be difficult for ordinary people, but waterproof cameras are popular now, or adding a waterproof case to digital cameras is not a luxury. You can try it yourself. Of course, you may not find the interesting fish as shown below, but you can bring your own blisters and plastic dolls as silhouette objects. It should be noted that the light must be sufficient, otherwise there will be only darkness without silhouette.

Wild outline

Of course, the silhouette of wild animals is very interesting, and the feeling of being integrated with nature, coupled with the rich body movements of animals (after all, their expressions are few), is a good subject.

Combined reflection

Note that rivers, water surfaces, slippery ground, and even the projection of the subject can form symmetrical patterns with the silhouette, increasing the interest and elements of the photo.

Any light source

Snow, advertising light boxes, stages and other places that emit or refract strong light are good materials for making silhouettes. With the movements of characters, it is easy to form photos with stories and contents.

Special building

Not all buildings are just bricks like ordinary buildings. Monuments, suspension bridges, interesting clocks, traffic lights, etc. Can be a good subject for silhouette.

operational approach

0 1

First, choose the morning and evening time. At this time, the angle of the sun is low, even only the skylight. At this time, we look at the bright sky with the naked eye, and the people and scenery above the horizon may be silhouettes. If it is not at twilight time, we can also shoot in an environment similar to twilight light conditions. Like taking pictures of people standing in front of the window. Silhouette, use a large light ratio.

02

Second, choose a good-looking silhouette subject. The outline is usually a simple, underexposed black outline with no or only a little detail. Therefore, we must know what we are shooting through this shadow, such as a tree, a person, a child with a puppy, several people sitting together chatting and so on. Through the story, we can see the vivid subject state at a glance.

03

Third, aim at the bright part of the background and expose it accurately. Generally, if the main area of the silhouette is relatively small, it is completely possible for the mobile phone to shoot directly with the automatic file; More accurately, you can focus on metering at the same time by clicking the brightest part of the screen with your finger, and then click the shoot button; The most accurate mode is to click on the screen with your finger for 3 seconds on the photo page, and a concentric circle will appear on the screen.

04

Clicking on the center of a concentric circle will drag out the circle with the sun in the middle. This circle is for metering, and the other circle is for focusing. When the mobile phone takes a silhouette, you can drag the measuring aperture to a bright place to measure light, and put the focused circle in the silhouette to focus. This is perfect.

05

If you use a SLR, you should use aperture priority or M-file to measure the sky with spot light. Be careful not to be too close to the silhouette subject, and use a relatively small aperture to avoid the silhouette from blurring outside the depth of field.

06

Some photography skills available for silhouette shooting. In addition to the above points, you can also bring some small lights when taking a silhouette. The model holds one end, the photographer holds the other end, and the lamp is placed in front of the camera, so that the blurred spot foreground can be photographed.
