How to improve your photography skills? From entry to intermediate SLR entry.

It can be said that SLR cameras have no so-called strategies, but only experiences, and most of these experiences need to be explored by themselves. Because in shooting, different parameters set by different environments will directly lead to different photos.

Photography (English: photography) comes from Greek Φ Φ Φ phos (light) and ρ Φ Φ Φ graphics (painting and sketch) or ρ Φ Φ Φ graph. Photography is a technology and an accumulation of experience. Real photographers have the ability to transform fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images, so they need to master the corresponding photography skills in the process of black light photography in order to take commendable good photos.

In shooting, besides observing other people's works and sharing experiences, the most important thing is to take more photos by yourself. Practice makes perfect. Only by fully mastering every function of the SLR camera can we take many high-quality photos.

Some experiences:

1. Take the long focal length lens as the main shooting lens (about 250mm lens for 120 camera or about 135 lens for135 camera), and take its short depth of field function.

2. According to the principle of portrait formula composition method, close-up, half-length, seven-point or full-body composition can be taken directly, about 5-8 steps away from the subject.

3. During exposure, according to the characteristics of portrait photography, the aperture compensation of 1 ~ 2 should be turned on to make the facial texture brighter. The light on people's faces is soft and bright, which is the focus of this kind of photos.

4. In order to create bright eyes, it is best to place a reflector or whiteboard in front of the portrait to make the eyes reflect bright spots.

5. When printing, it is best to follow the post-processing skills and soft focus treatment to completely soften the skin and make the whole photo soft.

6. You have to change the shape or props of the theme characters, otherwise the visual focus of the photos will remain unchanged, and the shortcomings of composition, depth of field and shooting techniques will be exposed.

7. Design the modeling style of the theme portrait, choose the scene suitable for the overall performance, and do a good job in the preliminary theme and scene design.

8. Usually, we should cultivate the ability of aesthetic composition, and draw up the overall composition plan between the theme portrait and the scene when shooting. Don't fall into the stereotype of portrait formula composition, take close-ups

9. Analyze the application of lighting on the spot, fuse the main body of the portrait to be photographed by addition and subtraction, and control the outstanding performance of lighting in the scene environment without falling into the common problems of general commemorative photos.

10. Control the length of depth of field, create a touching and advanced depth of field performance, and don't fall into the messy mode of ordinary life photos.

1 1. Choose the most suitable photo opportunity to press the shutter, grasp the vitality of the portrait and the artistic sense of the scene, and take a perfect portrait with scenery.

12. The most important thing to take this kind of photo is the choice of negative. As long as the black and white negative is used, the tone of this photo can be printed.

13. In the process of shooting, we should pay attention to the color of the background and props, especially the gray system, because too black and white background, props or clothes will make the photos produce all-black or all-white reaction when they are developed, which is the common sense of shooting black and white photos. Only when the gray scale system is suitable, the single tone of color printing overprint will have rich hierarchical performance.

14. When taking black-and-white photos, you can get beautiful colors by controlling the exposure correctly. Different from the color negative film shooting method commonly used by ordinary portraits, more than two exposures are often used to compensate. Only by correct exposure can we avoid the loss of saturated sound.

15. There is also a film produced by Ilford on the market, which can be directly developed into color without manual development of black and white liquid medicine, and the shooting effect is the same, which is a relatively convenient film.

16. After shooting and developing the negative, you can develop pure black-and-white photos through the black-and-white development process. Or through the printing process of color printing, a single-tone photo is printed.
