Microphotography technology

I want to be a photographer, because it makes me integrate into the world around me. Whether you have a professional camera or a micro-single. The following is the information about micro-single photography skills that I have compiled for you for your reference!

Micro-single photography skills 1: micro-single simple function

1. Art filter

One difference between micro-single camera and professional SLR camera is that the former has more powerful post-processing function of the fuselage, which makes your shooting more entertaining. A variety of characteristic filter modes are built into the fuselage, so that you can get a very artistic and creative style even if you don't need to make post-adjustment in the computer. In just a few simple steps, you can get bright, dreamy or nostalgic special effects. The most powerful artistic filter is the Olympus pen series.

Take E-P3 as an example, only the artistic filter has more than ten kinds of effects, such as rich color tone, soft focus, stereo, drama, nostalgic photos, pinhole camera filter and so on. Olympus's artistic filters can really add a lot of color to photos, avoiding the trouble of post-processing, and even novices can take photos with great visual impact.

Art filter

In my opinion, filters are as important to photography as glasses are to myopia. Artistic filters and various optional scene modes on Olympus micro-single-phase computer have always been the favorite of many O fans (users who enjoy Olympus). Choose before shooting or even save the tedious steps of color matching in the later stage. These art filters are very interesting. It's not so much an artistic filter, but I think it's like applying a post-preset-so cool and convenient!

2. Panoramic mosaic

Many micro-cameras have on-board panoramic stitching function, which can shoot very long panoramic images, which is very similar to the so-called "post-stitching" (stitching multiple photos into a long photo through post-technology), but it is automatically synthesized in the camera without the help of post-software

Sony's NEX series is outstanding in this respect, and can even achieve 180 degree splicing and 3D panorama, and can watch 3D panorama effect on 3D TV.

TIP 1 use the m file.

The principle of panoramic stitching is to take multiple photos and then automatically synthesize them in the machine. Its essence is a photo composed of multiple photos. This requires us to switch to M after determining the exposure, and we can't change the aperture and shutter value after starting panoramic film shooting. Because the photometry of panoramic stitching is automatic, if there is no M-lock exposure, it is easy to make the final exposure effect uneven and the stitching is unnatural.

Tip 2 Use a tripod

When the panoramic stitching mode is turned on, the general camera will enter continuous shooting mode. In order to get a better stitching effect, the camera should move at a uniform speed in the horizontal position as far as possible, so that the angle swept by the camera lens is semi-circular. It is difficult to ensure the stability of the camera's horizontal movement by hand. In order to ensure the success rate of stitching, it is best to use a tripod to fix the camera.

3. Multiple exposure

Multiple exposure is a shooting technique, which can show the overlapping virtual shadow produced by multiple exposures on the screen, and it is a common artistic technique in the film era. In the digital age, Nikon first applied this technology to its DSLR. Its technical principle is to integrate the image into the same picture after repeated continuous exposure, so as to shoot the effect with virtual shadow level. This unique charm method can show more content and artistic conception.

Nowadays, some micro-cameras are also equipped with this function. First, you have to choose the number of exposures, and then shoot. You can use different focal lengths, different scenes and multiple exposures to express what a photo is difficult to express. Fiction and fact contain infinite charm. It should be noted that if you are shooting people's movements, you need to fix the camera so that the background can be more realistic without virtual shadows.

Although multiple exposures are very beneficial to the expression of some abstract themes, many users have always felt that this function is like chicken ribs, too fancy and difficult to be elegant. In fact, this cognition is based on the premise of not using flash. When 3D meets IMAX, the result is an epoch-making Avatar in film history.

What effect will be achieved when multiple exposures encounter a flash? Adjust the external flash (or internal flash) according to the metering results, and then shoot with the flash under a solid color background. You will find that because the brightness of each exposure is provided by the flash, it is 100%, and the effect of each shot is real, not the translucent effect under ordinary multiple exposures. In a sense, this has achieved the magical effect of "multiple exposures" to make a subject appear in the picture many times!

Micro-single photography skill 2: micro-single photography skill

First, macro still life shooting.

In this case, it is best to use file A, use a large aperture, and try to shoot within the nearest shooting distance of the current lens to blur the background. In addition, we should pay attention to the indirectness of the background to make the theme stand out and produce aesthetic feeling.

If the light is good, iso 100 or160; If the light is not good, iso is better within 400.

(Shutter speed: 1/250 seconds, aperture value: f/3.2, ISO sensitivity: 100, white balance: cloudy, photo style: standard, lens: EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro).

Second, people shoot.

People shoot with a maximum aperture (within f5.6) with a focal length of more than 50 mm. The shooting distance depends on the whole body, chest circumference and head shot, so the background is blurred and the first gear is used. Backlit portraits can be measured by spot light, and can be filled with flash according to the situation!

Good light, iso 100, poor light, within iso400.

(shutter speed: 1/60s, aperture value: F4.5, ISO sensitivity: 400, white balance: automatic, camera style: automatic, lens: ef-m18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 istm).

Third, shoot the scenery.

First gear (aperture priority), use a suitable aperture, above f8, and the focal length is arbitrary, but the wide angle is distorted, so use it as appropriate.

(Shutter speed:1125 seconds, aperture value: f/8, ISO sensitivity: 100, white balance: sunlight, photography style: landscape, lens: EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 ISTM).

Fourth, shoot the night scene.

On the tripod, a gear (aperture priority), an aperture above f8, and a small aperture can make the light show starlight effect. Use low ISO to control exposure time. Long exposure can make some people who have no intention of walking disappear from the picture, leaving no trace and purifying the scene!

(Shutter speed: 2 seconds, aperture value: F8, ISO sensitivity: 100, white balance: white fluorescent lamp, camera style: scenery, lens: ef-m18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 isstm).

Fifth, set off fireworks.

Using the cable release and B shutter, you can shoot the effect of multiple fireworks overlapping!

Sixth, run things to take pictures.

In the case of good light: A gear (aperture priority), the aperture size should be treated as appropriate; A large depth of field effect can be obtained with an aperture above f8, and a shallow depth of field effect can be obtained with a small aperture. If you want to shoot a very dynamic effect, you can use the S file and control the shutter at around 1/30. Press the shutter when focusing, and the lens moves behind the object at a proper speed, which will lead to a very dynamic effect and poor light: it can only be handled as appropriate, plus chasing!

Seventh, shoot running water or fountains.

Using S file (shutter priority), the shutter speed is about 1/20, and the satin effect can be taken. If you use the shutter too fast, the fountain will shoot discontinuous water droplets!

Eighth, people take pictures at night.

On the tripod, adjust the white balance, automatic or custom white balance; iso 100( 160)-400； A gear, with an aperture of f8 or so, uses slow synchronous flashing, and the subject should cooperate and not move, so that the characters are clear and the background is beautiful with neon, so as not to make the background underexposed and dull.
