From Xiaobai to Master —— [Mobile Photography from Xiaobai to Master]

The first time I knew that mobile phones can also take beautiful photos was in 20 15, when I saw the natural scenery taken by my beauty leader with mobile phones. Although I have always admired it, I never thought I would like to learn it one day. If I had known this day, I would have worshipped my beautiful leader as a teacher.

In fact, I want to learn mobile phone photography, mainly for the needs of life. Traveling abroad, Xiu Xiu cooking at home and reviewing a new book all seem to be intuitive with some pictures. Meitu can always add a lot of color to the information you convey.

It does not require professionalism, but requires simplicity and understanding. Mobile photography from Xiaobai to Master should be regarded as such a book.

The book is divided into an introduction to mobile photography; Master's accomplishment; The last three parts. If you want to talk about practicality, I actually prefer the second half of the third part.

For Xiao Bai, who only knows to use ready-made filters in retouching, the content of the third part, from histogram, curve, HSL, highlight, color, light effect, etc., makes people seem to grasp the key points at once; The color adjustment in retouching is the key point, and the filter is more an auxiliary beautification after the color adjustment of the picture. No wonder I used to take color-difference photos. I have no choice but to increase the brightness and decrease the brightness of the picture. But now I know that I can adjust them with tools such as histograms or curves. This is also a big gain.

In the later period of the book, the retouching tools are mainly vigorously retouching. In the later stage of my mobile phone, there are some pungent functions in MIX. Basically, it has all the functions, but no local adjustment tool has been found, but it will not affect your later retouching. You know, the filter in MIX is really powerful.

Okay, back to this book. In addition to retouching, the most important thing in photography should be the conception and manual composition of the human brain.

In addition to the introduction in the book, composition techniques are often seen on many photography platforms: for example, symmetrical composition; Diagonal composition; Jiugongge composition; Frame composition; In addition to the blank method, I also talked about some shooting techniques, all of which are methodologies summarized after practice makes perfect.

1, less is more, try to simplify the complex.

2. When you get closer, you will get different results;

3. Look for visual balance in the picture (balance is a manifestation of picture tension, but balance is not equal to average, and absolute symmetry is a no-no).

4, reverse the picture to make it more interesting (when you encounter some reflective scenes, such as water, glass, windows and so on. There will be a different feeling when you shoot backwards.)

5, the combination of static and dynamic, the tension of the photo (through the mobile phone software to slow down the shutter speed slightly, so that some scenes in the photo are blurred, which can add a brand-new landscape to the picture)

From shallow to deep, step by step. This is the biggest highlight of this book.

After reading the whole book, I really gained a lot. It's just that photography is a process of taking more pictures, reading other people's works, thinking more and accumulating more. You can't be a master by reading. So I need to practice more. I hope this is not my first and last step. You don't need to be a master, just want to record beautiful moments.
