First, the clever use of light (smooth light, backlight, side light, top light, prime time)

Light is the soul of photography. If you make good use of sunlight, you will take lively photos.

When shooting, we must pay attention to the relationship between the subject, shooting position and angle, and lighting conditions. Be good at using light, and be aware of the light before shooting.

Divergent light: light from the front of the subject, and the illuminated surface is the subject. Most people like to shoot with smooth light.

If the purpose of shooting is to make the background vivid and clear, the photo attracts people's attention and looks bright as a whole. Then, shooting along the light is a good choice.

However, shooting along the light is easy to lack the distinction between light and shade, which often makes the scenery lack of three-dimensional sense.

Side light: the light shines on the object from the side, which not only makes the object have a certain contrast between light and shade, but also enhances the three-dimensional sense and spatial layering. As far as the color reproduction of the picture is concerned, sidelight is also an ideal shooting method.

But if you shoot with a mobile phone, it is not difficult to use metering skills. Need to focus repeatedly, try to click on a bright place to shoot, and try to compare it many times to succeed.

Backlight: the light that shines from the back of the subject, and the shadow part is the subject of expression. The advantage of backlight is that the light is soft and the object will not produce too thick shadow. You can take photos with artistic charm by backlighting, such as taking a silhouette of the subject or taking a "silhouette light" effect.

Backlight is suitable for representing scenes with multiple levels before and after, thus producing strong spatial distance and good perspective effect.

When shooting, it is best to choose the middle tone or dark tone of the scene as the focus, so as to grasp the detail level of the scene. If you want to take a silhouette, you should focus on the brighter part.

Suitable shooting time: noon is the worst shooting time, and the light is too strong to take pictures at this time. The best shooting time is early morning and evening, when the light is soft, which makes your photos have fantastic colors.

Second, know your mobile phone.

Mobile phones usually have the following functions:

Scenes: including ordinary, intelligent, macro, portrait, scenery, sports, night scene, snow scene, etc. , close to professional SLR. If you have enough time, you can choose the corresponding scene before shooting. Most people shoot spontaneously, so you can set the scene to "smart" mode.

Face recognition: basically all smartphones have this function. All you have to do is wait for the white box to appear and press the shutter in your face.

Beauty: In view of the needs of the majority of girls who love beauty, beauty functions came into being, and various functions such as peeling, whitening and acne removal can be realized while taking pictures. However, it should be noted that this option should be turned off when shooting landscapes, otherwise the shooting quality will be affected.

Panorama: Panorama function is a very interesting function, which can only be completed by post-production with digital camera and tripod. Now, all you have to do is lay the phone flat and turn it around.

Slow shutter: This function is no longer a patent of SLR, and now smartphones already have this function. If you want to shoot endless crowds and traffic at night, you can use this function to create interesting light graffiti. You can also try to keep the mobile phone and the subject in synchronous motion or relatively static relationship to capture the pleasure brought by speed.

Third, composition

Symmetry and golden section are the most commonly used methods in film and photography, and they are also foolproof composition methods.

Symmetry: Scenes with the same shape are arranged from left to right or up and down in turn, which can form a symmetrical picture effect.

Golden section: Using this composition can make the works reveal elegant and mysterious artistic temperament. You can use the "well" grid in your mobile phone to achieve gold composition shooting.

Fourth, focus

The focus determines the visual focus of the photo. Most mobile phones can achieve autofocus, but this can only take care of most shooting needs. You can also specify the focus position manually, so that the focal length can be more accurately aligned with the subject.

By setting the foreground. Mid shot and perspective can make your photos more layered. Usually, the subject should be placed in the middle position, and the focus should be placed in the middle position, so that the prospect and prospect are blurred.

If the photo is not vivid, you can shorten the shooting distance, lower the viewfinder position and fully capture the details.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) creative photography

Clever photos can be taken by means of dislocation, mirror, glass and multiple exposures.

Sixth, the filter

There are many filter modes to choose from in mobile phones, and some mobile phone applications (apps) also provide many choices for filter lovers.

Everything under the black-and-white filter is covered with a faint sadness, and there is a feeling of vicissitudes of life.

Nostalgia filter reflects a sense of accumulation of time, allowing you to relive the past years.

7. Objects, scenes and stories.

The object is the center and subject you want to shoot. Only by defining the subject can we better express the theme of the photo. Do you want to shoot the line outline of the subject, or its color or speed? Think about what to shoot, and then think about how to shoot.

Background is the environment in which the subject lives. The background should serve the subject, form a certain relationship with the subject, or exist to create an atmosphere or enhance the story. When shooting, remove the background elements that have nothing to do with the subject and the story.

The decisive moment is to be good at capturing the picture and keeping the best moment of things. This is especially important when catching children and pets.

Introduction to mobile phone photography skills 2 1, keep steady

Users who like to take photos with their mobile phones may be deeply touched. The camera phone is only that big and weighs less than half of the ordinary traditional camera. No matter how good the light is, it will be ugly if you are not steady when shooting. In particular, CMOS cameras are more sensitive, and slight vibration will directly affect the imaging effect.

2. Light is very important

Light is very important to take good photos. Try to avoid backlighting. Some mobile phones can not only meet the light source through external conditions, but also be adjusted through the built-in auxiliary functions of the mobile phone. For example, adjust brightness, night scene mode, flash and other different modes.

3. framing is as important as composition.

Beginners often put the subject in the center of the picture and press the shutter directly after focusing. This stereotyped composition is not vivid enough, so it is suggested that photographers use "three-way" composition, that is, in the actual photographic composition, the scene of the subject is slightly staggered from the center, and attention should be paid to the echo of the subject with other objects. In the above picture, you choose to shoot people in the rear, leaving a certain space to make the picture deeper.

Step 4 choose the right angle

Choose an appropriate angle to avoid reflection and halo. When shooting objects in the glass window, try to shoot at an oblique angle of 45 degrees, which can effectively avoid the reflection of the glass; Halo can also be effectively avoided by increasing the shooting angle or changing the position during backlight shooting. In the process of shooting, users must take as many photos as possible, so as to screen out the best photos.

5. Portrait shooting pays attention to composition

There are always the most people in the photos taken by mobile phones. It is not only convenient to record life, but also convenient to share with friends in online communities such as Weibo. Try to fill the picture with the subject, so as to highlight the characteristics of the subject. Use composition to attract the attention of the photo to the subject and avoid being overwhelmed by the background.

6. Avoid backlighting when shooting scenery.

Scenery shooting is also an important application of mobile phone shooting. Taking scenery is different from taking portraits, and it pays more attention to the application of wide frame and wide angle. First of all, try to avoid taking pictures against the light. Mobile phones require high light, too strong light is easy to overexpose, and too weak light is insufficient, so the most important thing to take pictures is to grasp the light.

7. Choose landscape mode

When shooting scenery, you can choose landscape mode and sports mode, and the photos you take are better. In the process of taking pictures, sometimes the images on the screen will be very dark or too bright. At this time, you can move the shooting angle of the mobile phone slightly, sometimes it will show better results. This shooting method is more suitable for friends who travel frequently and like to record the scenery along the way.

8, timely use of macro effects.

When shooting still life details, you can use macro shooting appropriately, which can better reflect the details of the subject.

9. Learn to choose scenes when shooting at night.

The ability of mobile phones to shoot night scenes is actually not strong, and it is more difficult to shoot night scenes. However, with the improvement of mobile phone's own pixels and the appearance of F2.0 large aperture, it is no longer an unreachable dream to shoot beautiful night scenes with mobile phones. First of all, when shooting night scenes, you need to choose scenes with strong light and bright colors to shoot. Mobile phone night scene shooting mode can be adopted to avoid the difference of shooting effect caused by jitter during shooting.

10, event capture

The popularity of mobile phone shooting lies in its portability. First of all, put the phone in the camera shooting state, ready to shoot at any time. The picture above is a documentary photo taken by a friend who participated in the color run with his mobile phone. Remember to protect your mobile phone when shooting in this "dangerous" environment.

1 1, waiting for the best picture.

Although art comes from life, it is higher than life after all. Not every scene, every time can form a wonderful image. Photography is a choice, a photographer's choice of all factors, which time to choose, which scene to choose and so on.

If you want to get a good picture, you must pay enough patience and wait for the best picture. At this point, the elements of this photo have appeared in your mind, but the sun has been slow to reach the position you imagined. At this time, the only way, which is also the routine of photographers, is to wait for the best moment to appear.

Introduction to mobile phone photography skills 3 First, master the light and mode adjustment

Anyone who has a certain knowledge of photography knows that light is an important factor affecting the imaging quality. Mobile phone cameras, like cameras, have high requirements for light. Therefore, if you want to shoot a good work, you must choose good lighting conditions and try to avoid shooting in the back light. Some mobile phones can meet the light source through external conditions, and can also be adjusted through the built-in auxiliary functions of the mobile phone:

1, adjust the brightness. Many mobile phones can adjust the brightness of the camera and can be used when the light is insufficient.

2. Night mode. It can be used not only at night, but also in night mode in case of insufficient light during the day to obtain better brightness. It's just that it takes a long time to take a picture after turning on this mode. If your hands shake slightly, the photos you take will have double images.

Step 3 flash. The flash on the mobile phone is actually a bright LED light, which can effectively fill the light when turned on, but the effective distance is relatively short, which is suitable for close-up shooting.

Second, coordinate hand holding and shooting posture.

Users who like to take photos with their mobile phones may be impressed. The camera phone is only that big and weighs less than half of the ordinary traditional camera. If you are not steady when shooting, even the best light will be ugly.

In particular, CMOS cameras are more sensitive, and slight vibration will directly affect the imaging effect. When shooting, the right hand holds the camera at the subject, and then the left hand holds the right hand to keep it stable.

Because the response speed of the mobile phone is not as fast as that of the camera, it is not taken immediately after the camera shutter is pressed, but only when the shutter sound rings, so it is best to set the shutter sound when taking pictures, and the mobile phone must be held firmly when taking pictures. Especially when you press the camera function key, if you move at this time, the picture you take may be blurred, so you must keep a steady posture until you take a picture.

Third, pay attention to the parallelism between the mobile phone and the scenery.

If your photography skills are not good enough, and you haven't reached the level of freely using the perspective, you must pay attention to the parallelism between the mobile phone and the scene when shooting, that is, the plane where the mobile phone is located should be parallel to the plane where the scene is located, especially when shooting beautiful MM. If you don't master it well, the portrait will be easily deformed.

Fourth, your brainwave.

In fact, many good photos are brain waves from the brain. Nowadays, the camera phone is more and more powerful, and various styles of photo frames have various shooting effects. You can give full play to your imagination and skillfully combine various functions. Perhaps your photos are not only different, but also rare creative works.

Here, I only talked about some basic skills of taking pictures. What's more important is the significance of taking pictures, showing the truest side with the most ordinary pictures. Show the most beautiful world with the simplest colors, and I believe your life will be more exciting.
