Black and white photography skills in street photography

Lead: Friends who have been exposed to photography for a period of time should know that the larger the photosensitive element, the higher its sensitivity and noise suppression ability, and the more details of the recorded image. The task I received this time is the author's favorite street photography, because street photography is performing different plots all the time, and a large-size photosensitive camera can make the picture have more details and content. Therefore, in the choice of street camera, the author will choose a larger photosensitive element. Let's take a look!

The so-called street photography is to go out and take pictures! All the street shots come out.

Bresson, one of the founders of Magellan, the greatest street photographer, pointed out that at the decisive moment, all the changes of pictures and light and shadow are fleeting, so a good camera that can shoot freely in the street must have fast focusing ability, not only fast but also accurate. At the beginning, the author mentioned that the biggest feature of Sony A7 is its fast focusing and excellent continuous shooting speed, which is generally 2.5 frames per second in continuous shooting mode and 5 frames per second in continuous shooting. This time, with Toshiba EXCERIA memory card, the author writes 90MB/s per second and shoots with RAW+JPEG, which hardly takes up too much buffer time, so it is very suitable for taking pictures on the street.

Preview ability means that we usually find some objects or scenes first, think that some things or stories will happen here, and then start waiting, hoping that some elements can appear here to join these objects or scenes, generate new sparks, and even surpass the original things and walk in front of others, in order to shoot different contents and results. In all types of photography, reaction should be extremely important, especially news photographers and street photographers. After something happens, sometimes we don't even have time to compose and concentrate, so our reaction is very important. Coupled with judgment, it is very important for us to decide whether to press this shutter within 1/60 seconds and what kind of picture will appear after pressing it.

Street photography is always waiting, but some photographers have said that he never takes more photos in one place than the second, because he is convinced that there will always be better photos waiting for him.

How to master the light of black and white/street photography

Many friends who like street shooting especially like to present it in black and white photography. There are several reasons, that is, the theme should be clear, the tone and content should be unified, and the aesthetics of light and shadow are presented most of the time. Daido Moriyama, a Japanese photographer who is famous for his street shooting, is famous for his black-and-white Gao Fancha, coarse-grained and crumbling pictures, which has aroused the imitation of street photographers all over the world.

The content of street photography is always nothing more than passers-by, objects on the street, charming scenes, the contrast between light and shadow and life, the contrast between true and false, and so on. As long as you grasp these key points a little, you can experience and enjoy the fun of street shooting, find the direction you are interested in and shoot well, and you can shoot yourself.
