Shooting skills of low-angle photography

In addition to using the daily angle, you can also consider shooting at a low angle to diversify the photographer's works. Are there any composition skills in low-angle photography? Let me introduce them to you one by one!

Taking a low angle as the shooting angle does not mean that people are encouraged to shoot at a low angle blindly, but in addition to using daily angles, we can also consider shooting at a low angle to diversify photographers' works. For example, when shooting children and animals, you can try to put down your body and shoot images at the same height as children and animals, so that the audience can see the world from the perspective of children and animals.

Attention level

Sometimes it is difficult to get the picture level accurately, because you may not be able to view it directly when shooting. Photographers can add an external level to the camera. Generally, an external level can be added to the flash hot boots of the camera. In addition, if the photographer's digital camera is equipped with an electronic level, you may wish to use it more. Of course, images can also be processed by computer, but it takes a lot of time.

Handle image exposure carefully.

Pay attention to the exposure of the image when shooting. If the contrast between the background and the subject is large, the subject may be underexposed and the background may be exposed normally (like silhouette). Or the subject is exposed normally and the background is overexposed (the background is all white). For example, on cloudy days, the sky is often white, and there is no sense of hierarchy, so the images taken will be very boring. Therefore, photographers should carefully consider the shooting angle.

Control the aperture and focus to highlight the theme.

Aperture can control the depth of field; The focus can determine the clear position of the image. The flexible combination of the two, together with proper composition, can help photographers highlight the main body of their works.

Be patient in framing and composition.

When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to find a view and make a composition through the viewfinder. As a result, he had to try and shoot wrong, which undoubtedly tested the photographer's patience. If the photographer's camera is equipped with Live View real-time display function and rotating screen, it will be easier to shoot.

Using the characteristics of wide-angle lens

The wide-angle lens has a wide viewing angle and can accommodate more scenes; In addition, the wide-angle lens has obvious perspective deformation, and the object close to the lens is larger, and vice versa. Photographers can make more use of the characteristics of wide-angle lenses to shoot images with rich scenery and exaggerated effects. In addition, the wide-angle image can also facilitate the photographer to process the image in the later stage of shooting, for example, after cutting due to the correction level, the subject can still be kept intact.
