How to shoot a big movie with a mobile phone?

Abstract: Have you ever found that the photos taken by others with mobile phones are beautiful, but you can't take them yourself? At present, mobile phone photography has made great progress, but the photosensitive element is smaller, and it has certain attainments in pixel, definition and post-processing algorithm. Actually, it's easy to take pictures. First, you must learn to compose pictures, and you can also take beautiful photos. Composition methods include low-angle composition, bottom-up composition, top-down composition, trisection composition, guide line composition and frame composition. 12 composition skills. There are also shooting methods such as mobile phone wide-angle photography and mobile phone macro photography. Let's study together. Mobile phone heavy skill broadcast

First, subtraction photography

Photography is an art of subtraction, and sometimes the simpler the composition, the more artistic it can be. When taking photos with a mobile phone, we can simplify the background, such as a wall as the background, or other background elements that can reflect simplification.

Second, the slow door beat

Nowadays, the slow door is more than just a SLR toy. Generally, mobile phones have a professional mode, in which we can take pictures with a slow shutter, such as taking pictures of traffic and lakes. It takes a long time to repair the slow door mobile phone, so we need a tripod to fix the mobile phone. The slow door can not only solve the problem that the sensor is too small and the high sensitivity is weak to a certain extent, but also the light and shadow taken are very pleasing to the eye.

Thirdly, use algorithm to blur.

As the saying goes, the early stage is not enough, and we have to work together later. The camera of mobile phone is a wide-angle head, with small photosensitive elements and weak blurring ability, but the blurring algorithm of mobile phone is very strong. When shooting portraits or still lives, we can turn on blur to make the photos look more "tall".

Fourth, the late stage of study.

Most good photography works need to go through the later stage, so the later stage of study is particularly important. On the mobile phone side, we can beautify photos with software such as snapseed, vsco and mix. When people change their faces with later software, the brightness, tone and sharpness of still life photos need to be changed to get a better visual texture.

It is not difficult to take a camera style with a mobile phone. The key is to calm down and take every photo.

How to shoot a big movie with a mobile phone?

First, mobile phone wide-angle photography:

1, pay attention to the shooting angle, background and light, sometimes it will feel different from another angle.

Shooting tips get:

What if the photo is too dark, gray or not ideal? We can try to use retouching tools. Adjust the brightness and angle of the picture, or add some filters appropriately, and the picture will be high immediately.

2. Stop for a while after shooting: Even after shooting, the LCD screens of some mobile phones are out of sync with the shooting records, and finally the expressions that are delayed for a while or will be pasted are saved.

Shooting tips get:

When you shoot flowers, leaves or small still lives, you often shake your hands. I recommend this artifact: selfie stick! The selfie stick can be used to take selfies, or it can be the existence of a hand stick and a tripod! Can be used to shoot high and low, of course, you can also take selfies.

3. Keep it level and avoid the background with too many lines.

Second, the mobile phone macro photography:

1, pay attention to focus, light, composition, and highlight objects.

2. Be careful not to get too close, pay attention to the light and use the depth of field.

The last point is to install an external lens for the mobile phone, because most mobile phones can't focus on objects that are too close. After installing an external lens, the picture will be clearer. In this way, the macro of the mobile phone will be more perfect:

Shooting tips get:

It is always annoying to pat insects on flowers, because insects can move and fly. What you need to do at this time is to wait patiently and take pictures immediately after it lands!

② Sometimes when shooting ants, the macro lens is still very small. If you zoom in, there will be some lost frames. In order to maintain clarity, you can use secondary composition!

(3) It's really hard to grasp that water drops roll down on the lotus leaf instantly. At this time, as long as you gently grasp the corner of the lotus leaf and control the balance of water droplets, you can shoot.

Mobile phone macro photography skills:

The macro photos taken by mobile phones can't be compared with professional SLR cameras, but if you master the skills, mobile phones can also take amazing macro photos. Basically, mobile phone macro photography mainly focuses on several points: focusing, lighting, composition and highlighting objects.

1, first be careful not to get too close; If the lens of the mobile phone is too close to the object, it is difficult to focus. How many intervals are needed, depending on the situation, subject to the focus of the mobile phone. About 4 inches is the minimum distance, so if you want to find the focus of the photo, you can't get too close.

2. Pay attention to the light; Light is very important for a good photographic work. When taking macro photos, the photographer will block the light if he is not careful. Mobile phone photographers are sometimes too focused on the effects on the screen to realize this.

3. Use depth of field; You may think that "lens" and "depth of field" are only for professional photography. In fact, mobile phone photography can also use these skills to add points to their works. The control of depth of field of SLR camera depends on three factors: the adjustment of lens aperture, the length of lens focal length and shooting distance. However, there is only one factor that the mobile phone can control, and that is the shooting distance. The closer to the subject, the more obvious the depth of field will be.

4. Two things to remember in macro shooting with mobile phones are that shooting will also affect the overall effect of the work. So when we choose the scene, we should try to reduce the objects in the lens and highlight the main body. Even an out-of-focus object has something to do with the subject. The second point is that blurred photos will affect the overall effect of the work. Therefore, the mobile phone must be firmly grasped and patiently focused.

12 composition skills of mobile phone photos

1, low-angle composition

Low angle composition is a very popular composition method. It's challenging to take such photos. You need to squat, sit, kneel or lie down and take pictures close to the ground. But it is worthwhile, because it can bring you extraordinary visual experience.

After determining the shooting theme, you need to find a low enough angle, or even stick your mobile phone directly on the ground. Then use picture guide lines, such as car tracks or other themes, to put the whole theme picture into the phone frame. Or you can try to take the foreground in the picture as the main body, which can better highlight the key points. Finally, click on the screen to take a photo.

Although the imagination is released, the mobile phone is placed in a puddle to capture the reflection; On sand dunes, grasslands, mud or concrete? Anywhere you can imagine, you can try to shoot with a low-angle composition. When you put the camera of your mobile phone slowly close to the ground, you can capture many attractive pictures. You can even rotate the phone and put the camera close to the ground to capture ultra-low angle images.

Step 2 look up at the composition

When we usually use low-angle composition, the subjects we shoot are often common in life. But the theme of this essay we are going to introduce next is the architecture, forest and sky where we live. Whether we are in a noisy city or walking in the forest, we can capture creative pictures as long as we look up at the composition.

You can look up or even lie down to observe the lines between buildings, so that the buildings extend inward from the four corners of the picture, giving the audience an immersive feeling. We can also look up and shoot branches, mountains, clouds and so on. Looking up at the sky, maybe you can see the airflow track that the plane is passing by, or just a group of planes are soaring. It will be very graphic to take such a photo. Similarly, you can shoot a flock of birds, V-shaped geese or stars and clouds in a clear night sky.

3, overlooking the composition

Overlooking composition is another unique shooting technique. Of course, this doesn't mean that you have to climb to the top of the building to make lovely works. However, if you can climb to the top of a tall building, you will definitely see a shocking picture.

Usually, we can see the whole picture of the surrounding buildings on the roof of a building or by the window of a high-rise building and photograph it. In fact, we can also look for stairs (preferably spiral stairs) on the top floor of the building, so that you can observe the whole staircase structure from top to bottom. Of course, such a building is not easy to find, but if you are lucky enough to find it, you will be shocked by its structural beauty.

Looking down doesn't mean climbing to the roof. You can also walk to the bridge to observe the river under your feet, or stand on the balcony of a busy street corner to enjoy the traffic at the intersection.

4. Triangulation

You may be familiar with the composition method, which is the "three-point method". Very classic. The nine squares of the camera will have four lines and four intersections. Putting the subject at these intersections will get beautiful photos.

5, guide wire composition

Guiding line composition allows us to find lines and make the directions of these lines point to the key points we want to express. Summarize the powerful guiding lines in the scene, connect the main content of the picture with the background elements, attract the attention of the audience, and complete the shift of visual focus.

In life, the guiding line is actually easy to find. A path, a river, a trestle, or even a white line drawn by a jet plane, whether real or imaginary, is a guiding line as long as it is a visual line. The confluence line is a guide line, such as two rails, such as a chain on a bridge, trees extending in the distance and so on. As long as you look hard, you can always find beautiful lines.

6. Frame composition

Another unique composition technique is called "frame composition". This is not downloading a new application to make this "box". Instead, you just need to find something that can surround the subject in the shooting scene. It can be man-made doors, fences or naturally growing trunks, branches, etc. Using such a "frame" to complete your composition can greatly enhance the appeal of your work.

When taking framed photos, you don't have to find a frame that can completely surround the subject. You can simply take pictures through some openings between tree trunks. The scene frame can be doors, windows, arch bridges and even mirrors. And the surrounding things can be used to strengthen the main body of the photo.

7. Central component

This composition method is very simple. Put the theme you want to express in the center of the picture to get a more prominent theme. Most people will use this method when they start taking pictures, which can have a strong sense of picture balance.

Many friends who have just started to learn photography are generally told that the lowest level of composition is to put the subject in the shooting center, and the golden section method (three-point composition) is better. In fact, when we take a certain number of photos, we will find that there are no hard and fast composition rules in photography. The so-called rule is to take us into the industry. When we entered, there were no big rules, as long as your work was creative enough, ok!

8. Symmetric synthesis

Symmetrical composition refers to the content of shooting, and the vertical line or horizontal line in the middle of the picture is equal or roughly equal, so the picture has the characteristics of balanced layout, regular structure, beautiful pattern and strong interest. In real life and the surrounding environment, there are many scenes and objects, such as weightlifters' weightlifting, swimmers' butterfly stroke, group dance performance, fancy light groups, Chinese ancient buildings and even some utensils and appliances. From the perspective of left-right equivalence, a left-right symmetrical picture layout can be formed.

9. Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition is a highly directional composition form. Diagonal composition makes the picture more dynamic, energetic, stereoscopic, extensible and dynamic. When shooting people, if you make good use of diagonal shooting method, you can make the curves of people in the picture soft and sharp, but it should be noted that when shooting people with diagonal composition method, you need to leave a lot of blank space to keep the picture concise, clean and thorough.

10, reflective component

Through reflection, we can find a new composition structure. Usually shooting reflections and reflections can get unusual pictures and make your works more artistic. Of course, this kind of shooting technique needs more attention in our daily life. Reflection and reflection can be seen everywhere in life, in puddles in urban streets, in lakes in the wild, on mirror sunglasses, or by the windows of buildings. This physical phenomenon brings us a novel and interesting perspective and makes the photos more artistic.

When we observe the reflection of the water surface, we will find that the picture taken usually changes because of the calm and clear water surface. On city streets, calm puddles can also vividly reflect the cars, people and buildings driving behind them. When taking pictures, we must pay more attention to the reflective buildings and water around us, which will be another trick for us to shoot excellent works.

1 1, osmotic composition

Another creative composition method is called infiltration composition. For example, shooting works through some fences, windows, columns or ground glass can get many unexpected pictures.

The net is a good penetrator, you can use it as the foreground of the image, so that one corner or all around the photo is covered by it, making it a foreground scene with shallow depth of field effect. If you are willing to buy some props, such as crystal balls or glass balls. You can take an upside-down image behind it.

You can put the crystal ball in your hand or put it somewhere else, as long as you promise it won't roll at will. Then shoot as close as possible, and by constantly adjusting the angle and practicing, you can capture amazing pictures.

12, line-of-sight path composition

Strictly speaking, the line-of-sight path is not a composition technique, but a photographic psychology, which requires long-term practice. What is the line of sight path? Specifically, an observation method is to let viewers appreciate your work according to your viewing method. When you first see a photo/scene, where does your line of sight see first, then where does your line of sight move and where does it stay at last?
