How to take a picture of the combination of reality and reality?

First, let's look at the contrast between reality and reality.

All immaterial objects can be called "virtual", such as white background or flowing fog. In photos, with the "virtual", we can better highlight the "real" subject.

Digital photography has many technical means to achieve the effect of contrast between reality and reality.

For example, large aperture and slow shutter are two magic weapons to blur the background.

Many times, only by blurring the background can we better highlight the subject.

For example, the background of these pictures of flowers or butterflies is blurred.

Using a slow shutter will blur moving objects,

For example, flowing seawater and moving cars can be blurred by a slow shutter. In addition, when using follow-up photography to shoot moving objects, the background will be blurred into lines, and the sense of movement will be stronger.

Using the shutter speed of 1/250s, when tracking a speedboat with a digital camera, you can blur the background by pressing the shutter. Using a long focal length lens and setting the aperture to F2.8, you can get the effect of clear subject and blurred background.

The simplest composition trick is "piecing together". Putting the same photo or multiple photos together in a certain arrangement will often produce a very interesting or surprising visual experience.

For example,

You can piece together a set of photos with Google Picasa software. This process is completely automatic and can be completed in only a few tens of seconds. For another example, many photographers will turn a photo from left to right and put it side by side to create an unreal aesthetic feeling.

Put together a beautiful composition. The picture on the left below.

The photographer made four photos of a flower, and then simply put them together to form a very interesting hanging garden. When making such photos, you should pay attention to setting the edge feather.

The picture on the right is a common yellow flower in the south. If you just take pictures, it may be really ordinary, but cut off half of the flowers and then copy four together, and the final effect is simply amazing. Two folded photos are collaged together, full of wild power, and it is actually very simple to have two identical people on the same background.

Photographers in the film photography era often emphasize not to press the shutter indiscriminately. They think it is enough to take the most beautiful photos of each scene, and other poor photos are a waste.

This view is out of date in the era of digital photography. If we take photos of the same scene from all angles, we can put them together and finally get a more perfect and attractive photo.

The last tip is that after shooting a series of actions and expressions through the continuous shooting function, it is also very interesting to collage multiple subjects on the same background.
