How to take news photos?

Lead: How to take news photos? Let me talk about a few skills, hoping to help you.

Skills of taking good news photos 1. Doing a good job in news photography planning is the premise of producing good works.

First of all, you should be familiar with the shooting location. If it is the first time to shoot in that place, it is best to go to the scene first and consider the lighting conditions on the scene. You should know before you shoot.

Secondly, we should know the activities or meetings to be filmed in advance, so as to determine the shooting focus. If it is a meeting, which leaders will attend, what agenda and main contents are there, it is best to find out in advance, and combine your own news and propaganda needs to find out in advance which shots need to be close-ups and which ones need to be big scenes.

Finally, we should consider possible accidents and make plans in advance. Sometimes, you plan an important meeting in detail in advance, think about how to compose the composition, think about the shooting focus and choose the shooting angle, but sometimes something unexpected will happen to upset your plan, so you need to plan carefully to avoid being caught off guard.

Skills of taking good news photos II. A high-level camera is the foundation of a good work.

? Sharp tools can do a good job. ? The photos taken by a good camera are definitely better. What are the requirements for cameras in campus news photography? The author believes that the resolution of digital cameras specially used for news photography in colleges and universities should be above 5 million pixels, and it is best to use SLR cameras. Because this camera has three characteristics: first, lenses with different focal lengths can be replaced; Second, the shooting function is complete, the sensor resolution is high and the imaging quality is excellent; Third, you can use a series of photographic accessories such as external flash and filter. In addition to the standard lens, it is better to match the telephoto and wide-angle lens.

Skills of taking good news photos 3. Skillful photography is the key to shooting good works.

A good news picture should have a prominent theme, clever composition, accurate exposure and clear theme. To take good photos, besides good machines and good ideas, skilled photography technology is the key to take good photos. For every photographer (cameraman), it is the basic requirement and the basis of shooting to be familiar with the settings of his own camera and use it skillfully.

First, choose the shooting mode correctly.

1. Programming automatic exposure mode (P). P mode, like automatic mode, allows the camera to automatically set the shutter speed and aperture size, and can also manually adjust many parameters. If the exposure is not correct, the shutter speed and aperture value on the LCD screen will be displayed in red. At this time, the image can be exposed correctly by turning on the flash, manually changing the ISO value, changing the metering mode, compensating the exposure, and setting the white balance to display a more realistic image color.

2. Shutter priority exposure mode (TV). Shutter priority is to get the aperture value through camera metering when the shutter is set manually. This mode is mostly used to shoot moving objects, especially sports. Many friends find their subjects blurred when shooting moving objects, mostly because the shutter speed is not fast enough. The motion of an object is generally regular, and the shutter value can also be roughly estimated. For example, the shutter speed of shooting pedestrians is only1125 seconds, the shutter speed of shooting sprints is only 1/500 seconds, and the shutter speed of shooting falling water drops is only11000 seconds. In this mode, because the shutter is too fast, the amount of light entering may be reduced and the color is light, so it is necessary to increase the exposure to enhance the brightness of the picture.

3. Aperture Priority Exposure Mode (Av). Aperture priority is to obtain the corresponding shutter value through camera metering when the aperture size is set manually. Because the size of the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is often used in ordinary shooting. When shooting portraits (close-ups of people), the background is usually blurred by using a large aperture and a long focal length to obtain a shallow depth of field, which can highlight the main body. At the same time, a larger aperture can also obtain a faster shutter value, thus improving the stability of hand-held shooting. When taking pictures of people, moving scenes and other large scenes, we often use a smaller aperture value, so that the range of depth of field is wider and the far and near images can be clear.

4. Manual exposure mode (M). This mode needs to manually adjust the aperture shutter value every time shooting, which is not very convenient to use, but sometimes it is useful. I like to use manual exposure mode when shooting dark indoor scenes, because we need a small aperture to control the depth of field. If you use the aperture first and then slow down the shutter, hand-held shooting will definitely be blurred. Using the manual mode, we can adjust the shutter value appropriately, and even if the photo is dark, we can handle it properly in the later stage.

Second, flexibly adjust various parameter settings.

After choosing the shooting mode, it is also important to set the camera parameters to the best position.

Photometric method: At present, the photometric methods adopted by the camera are different according to the measuring area of the photometric element, mainly including point photometry, central part photometry, center key average photometry, average photometry mode, multi-zone photometry and so on. Generally speaking, low sensitivity values are suitable for creating clear and soft pictures, while high ISO values can compensate for poor light environment. When the light is insufficient, the use of flash is inevitable. Because of the adjustability of ISO value of digital camera, sometimes we can only reduce the use times of flash by increasing ISO value and increasing exposure compensation. Image resolution is the selectable imaging size and size of a digital camera, and the unit is pixels. The smaller the pixel, the smaller the area of the image, and correspondingly the smaller its capacity. In practical applications, large pixels can be used for high-quality large-format output. In actual shooting, you can choose different resolutions to shoot pictures according to your needs.
