IOS photo composition and photography skills

First, improve the quality of iPhone camera skills:

First of all, I would like to mention the three basic principles mentioned in the photography textbook of the New York Institute of Photography:

1, a good photo should have a theme.

A good photo should have an eye-catching theme.

3. Good photos should be concise.

I hope you can remember these three principles when taking pictures.

Then we'll talk about the composition.

No matter what kind of shooting tools you use, composition is an unavoidable topic.

Below, I found several commonly used stickers.

These composition methods are just a reference, not a hard and fast rule. In some cases, the composition will be just right, but sometimes it is best not to follow the conventional composition method. However, when scholars were not good at composing music, these were some very useful methods.

The first one that everyone will use is to put the subject in the middle.

Second, the symmetrical composition skills:

The second is symmetrical composition, which can be symmetrical left and right, up and down and diagonally.

Third diagonal composition

The fourth is the horizontal and vertical composition.

The fifth is the three-point structure, which can be horizontal or vertical. Pay special attention to the horizon!

The sixth is the composition of nine squares, which puts the main body in four red focuses.

After the composition is finished, let's talk about iPhone photography.

The operation interface is simple.

Shutter button

Switch the buttons of the front and rear cameras.

HDR switch

Flash switch

Filter options

Switch shooting mode (video, square, panorama)

Focusing and metering points (if you want to separate metering from focusing, you can try ProCamera)

1. When the light difference is large, turn on HDR.

2, iPhone is a fixed-focus camera, try not to use its zoom function (zoom in and out), otherwise it will reduce the image quality.

3. Try to use the light of the venue and use less flash. Because many rooms are warm and the flash is cold, the people photographed are ugly and shiny. (The iPhone5s has an intelligent TrueTone flash, which works well, but it can't avoid the glossy effect. )

4, panoramic mode, this mode is not available in iPhone4, and all mobile phones after iPhone4 will have this mode. It is very practical when shooting scenery. This mode can be used not only horizontally but also vertically.

5. Press the shutter all the way to continuous shooting. IPhone 5s continues to go against the sky, 10 cards per second. It is very useful when grabbing pictures! ! !

6. Keep pressing and holding somewhere on the screen to lock AE/AF (AE is auto exposure and AF is auto focus). Locking the camera will not automatically focus and adjust the exposure.

7. Lock AE/AF in the nearby area first, and then move the camera to the shot picture to capture the facula effect. (Try several times if you don't succeed)

8. Generally speaking, a photo will have bright places and dark places. When shooting a distant view (close objects are not allowed. Because changing the focal length will blur the object, the reason involves the problem of hyperfocal distance, which will not be expanded here. You can adjust the overall brightness by clicking on areas with different brightness.

Later apps strongly recommend VSCOcam and instagram. Don't you want to be late?

VSCOcam is powerful and easy to use, and the filters on instagram are exquisite.
