Introduction course of SLR camera: SLR photography skills New buyers must pay attention to four points if they want to take good photos.

Please read the product manual carefully.

When it comes to the product manual, it should be the first thing we often see in the process of disassembling, but it is ignored by most users. As we all know, for ordinary family users and some beginners in photography, product manuals are the best first teachers. When we take the camera we just bought home, unpack it, and check that it is correct, we seem to have spent a lot of time on the surface by carefully reading the product manual or the quick manual that comes with some products, but we are familiar with the function settings and common control methods of each part of the camera in the shortest time. At the same time, some misoperation can be avoided. I believe that even consumers who have used it for a period of time can find something after reading the instructions carefully and solve the problems they were troubled before.

Don't be superstitious about automatic mode

For digital cameras, the parameter settings that can affect the imaging effect generally include sensitivity, exposure and white balance. Automatic mode is the most commonly used mode for beginners. In this mode, the above three parameters are controlled by the camera itself and cannot be changed artificially. However, in some complicated lighting conditions indoors or at night, automatic mode can't help us to take satisfactory photos. At this time, it needs to be solved by some simple manual operations. For example, in some light environments, the camera's' automatic exposure' may not be accurate enough, so we can make appropriate exposure compensation adjustment in the automatic exposure mode of P-file program to achieve the ideal value. In addition, when shooting at night, if automatic ISO is used, the camera often uses the highest sensitivity to ensure the shutter speed, which brings serious noise. In fact, we can appropriately increase the sensitivity and turn on the built-in flash according to the light conditions at that time.

Common problems of novices.

Regardless of priority

You can often see people taking pictures in the park. The photographer is far away from the subject, and the camera used does not have a zoom lens. We can conclude that this will not be a successful photo shoot. Because the photographer can't figure out what he wants to show, is it people or scenery? In terms of composition arrangement and theme conception, photos can only have one theme, and other contents should be theme-centered, which can serve as a foil and better highlight and express the theme connotation. As far as outdoor scenery photos are concerned, there are generally the following two situations:

(1) People-centered. Most photography falls into this category.

We travel to scenic spots or take a walk in the park. Taking pictures, taking pictures is mainly a good memory in the future. We can choose representative buildings, flowers, grasslands, lakes and other backgrounds to set off the protagonist. People should occupy the main position in the picture and become the visual center. If we can further vividly reproduce the inner temperament of the characters through expressions, movements and other contents, it will definitely make it worth collecting forever!

(2) Take the scenery as the center and the characters as the decoration.

It is often used to express special scenery. For example, shoot a big Buddha statue, and compare the size of the Buddha statue with a small proportion of people in the picture to show the great achievements of ancient civilization; Another example is the Prince's Bay Public Garden in Hangzhou. During the lawn maintenance in spring, a large area of green grass was enclosed and extended to the dark green hills in the distance. In addition, the bubbles blown by children drifted with the wind, forming a wonderful artificial natural landscape. In composition, green is the main body, and people decorate its vitality to show the beauty of the paradise on earth. Yin-yang face and big black face "Yin-yang face" means that the portrait face is illuminated with 90-degree side light, half black and half white. This shooting method often shows a strong dramatic effect and is not suitable for life photography.

Big black face refers to the consequences of underexposure of backlit portraits.

If you shoot the back or side of the character, you can achieve the effect of silhouette. When shooting a frontal portrait, it is best to fill the light appropriately, such as using tools such as flash or reflector to fill the light. Beginners often do not pay attention to the role of light in the overall composition, or always habitually use a certain kind of light, so it is difficult to improve. Understand the basic knowledge of light first, then practice it, and dare to break through, so as to surpass yourself. Due to the graphic modeling characteristics of photos, it is easy to inadvertently "graft" distant branches, telephone poles, etc. to the main characters, as if they grew from the head, making the original beautiful photos fly in the ointment. In fact, as long as you pay a little attention to changing the angle when shooting, you can avoid it.
