How to shoot the way out in the crowd is illusory and the protagonist is a clear portrait?

How to shoot the way out in the crowd is illusory and the protagonist is a clear portrait? The protagonist is clear, passers-by and background are blurred, and the main body of the character is highlighted. Here are three shooting ideas:

1, large aperture, telephoto blur

A large aperture or telephoto lens can blur the passers-by behind, giving people a hazy aesthetic feeling and making the crowd an artistic background. It is obvious who is the protagonist in the picture! Of course, you can also use the later stage to realize blurring.

▲ Blur the background, blur the crowd and highlight the subject.

▲ Enhance the blurring effect in the later stage.

See the previous dry goods: an article deeply understands the "depth of field" and makes the "best adjustment" for the shooting picture.

In addition to the conventional shooting method, you can also play something different, such as "Everyone is moving forward, I want to turn around" to create a lonely and unique picture atmosphere.

▲ "Everyone is moving forward, I am retreating."

The slow door weakened the crowd.

Slow shutter is a technique commonly used in landscape photography. On the road where people come and go and traffic is busy, the use of slow shutter can play a very good role in weakening the crowd.

▲ Slow doors weaken people.

The biggest difficulty of this shooting method is the exposure time. Exposure time is too long, people's clarity will be reduced, and exposure time is too short, so there is no smear effect. The exposure time is generally between 115 and1sec, but it should be set according to the number of people around and the walking speed.

Shooting needs to be conceived and laid out in advance, and the trap method is used to shoot. Different places, the focus of shooting is different. For example, in front of the window, you can photograph the static and dynamic contrast between passers-by walking and staying, the meeting and crossing of street corners, and pedestrians walking in opposite directions.

▲ Shooting couples+people will have a feeling of finally finding each other in the vast sea of people.

3. Focus tracking

Focusing is to use the characteristics of relative motion to keep the camera and the object moving synchronously and horizontally, with similar speed, and with appropriate shutter speed, you can shoot works with blurred background and flowing feeling.

▲ Focus shooting, the blurred background highlights the dynamics of the subject and increases the impact.

Generally speaking, the slower the shutter speed, the faster the moving speed, the longer the focal length of the lens, the closer the shooting distance and the more blurred the background.

Please refer to the previous article for focus tracking. What is focus tracking? Focus shooting skills, how to take smooth photos?

Of course, the method is not limited to this, such as multiple exposure synthesis, late dynamic blur and so on.
