Micro-knowledge

1. Ask about microphotography knowledge, which is necessary for getting started.

When choosing a camera, the budget is the most important. Look at your own budget to decide, if it is really tangled, if the wallet allows, buying a new one is the first choice!

Composition is a discipline with a long history. As early as 2000 years before the appearance of photography, Greece and Rome had applied the law of composition. In modern architecture, composition method is also an important part of shooting. The definition of photographic composition is simple: to select and arrange objects aesthetically within the scope of the picture. Some composition methods place people or objects in specific positions, while others rely on changing the camera's viewing angle. As long as the camera moves slightly, it can produce strong composition changes. Some captured photos may have good composition, but most good photos are the result of careful creation. How to make a good photo? The first thing to learn is composition. After reading this post, you will find that composition will become a part of your photographic thinking and then become your intuition. One of the main reasons why some photos are outstanding is the good composition, which is also the main purpose of this paper. Let's learn how to make good use of composition to improve the quality of your photos. Golden section: The formula of "golden section" can be derived from a square. Divide the bottom of the square into two halves, take the midpoint x and take x as the center (? A line segment crosses the diagonal, thus dividing the rectangle into three different parts.

Now that the golden section has been completed in theory, you can roughly arrange the scene you want to shoot according to these three areas, or flip the schematic diagram 180 degrees or rotate it 90 degrees for comparison.

Trigonometry:

"Trigonometry" is actually just a simplified version of "golden section", and its basic purpose is to avoid symmetrical composition, which usually puts the subject in the center of the picture, which is often annoying. In the above picture, you can see that there are four points related to the golden section, which are marked with a "ten" line. There are two basic ways to avoid symmetry by using the "trisection". First of all, we can divide the picture into two areas, accounting for 1/3 and 2/3 respectively.

Refer directly to the four "golden section" points in the chart. For example, suppose we see a very charming scenery, but we lack a subject with beautiful geometric structure, then the photo taken will only be an empty and tasteless scene. What should we do? Try to find an object that is in sharp contrast with this monotonous environment, and put this object on one of the "ten" points in the picture below, so that the photo has an obvious anchor point and guides the audience's eyes to the whole landscape.

Natural framework:

Sometimes we see a striking subject in the scene, but the messy environment around the subject will often distract the audience and weaken the attraction of the subject, making the final effect of the photo very disappointing. Try to find a natural picture frame, which can eliminate the interference of chaotic environment and let the audience focus on the main body, as shown in the figure, the branches around the main body form a natural picture frame, making the rocks in the middle more prominent.

Crossed line:

Intersection/diagonal is actually another form of "golden section". Its basic idea is to provide a guide line to guide your line of sight, and it is ideal to connect two corners. The traditional method thinks that the top left corner is the best starting point because most people are used to browsing a picture from here. But if this diagonal line is a single straight line, it will often appear dull, so there must always be some embellishment in the picture. (For example, the picture of a ship) has a focus in many diagonal places, so that the audience's eyes can browse in many directions along the guide line, making the picture lively and interesting.

Having said that, have you really learned nutrition from photography? How do we view the composition defects in our works and how to practice paying attention to the arrangement of dense frames when shooting? In fact, the significance of understanding composition lies in establishing a correct aesthetic view and understanding the mystery of beauty, so as to obtain beauty and appreciate it better. All this requires you to pick up your camera and try to shoot. Let's experience it slowly.

2. Introduction to Micro-single

Micro-orders are not recommended:

1. It is said that the micro-single is portable, and the body is a little small, but the lens is still much larger than the card, the size is limited compared with the entry-level SLR, and the weight is even greater than the entry-level SLR. Portable is a gimmick.

2. It is said that the micro menu is easy to operate. Several of them have been used. I tried NEX five. It's easy to use as a stupid camera, but I want to operate it manually. The menu is called complex, with only three or four buttons. It's too much trouble to realize manual operation. The evaluation also said that it is very inconvenient to manually set the menu of the user micro-menu. If you want to be a fool, just buy a card machine.

Be cautious about getting started with SLR:

1. Remember: the photos taken by camera professionals must be professional! If you don't learn photography, don't think about buying a SLR to make a good film. That's impossible! In order to cater to the hobbies of ordinary users, the card machine usually exposes color distortion, but the photos appear brighter. However, in order to meet the requirements of professional users for color reproduction, auto is generally dimmed directly, which requires manual setting or post-correction. It's really not as good as a card machine without photography foundation.

2. Many people spend 80% of their budget on the body of SLR, or simply buy a set of machines. SLR burning money is not a legend. The investment in taking out a good lens is far greater than the fuselage, as well as tripods, filters and flashlights. It is better to buy a professional card without long-term psychological preparation. The nose of the SLR machine is a bit like the original tire of the automobile factory. The emphasis is on reducing costs, not on using effects.

As a novice, I have no knowledge base and willingness to learn photography, and I am not prepared to invest money and time for a long time. It is recommended to consider a professional card machine, which has higher image quality than ordinary card machines, quasi-professional manual function and portability. You can look at Panasonic LX5, Nikon P7 100, Canon G 12\S 100V, Olympus XZ- 1 and so on.

If you are satisfied, please accept it.

3. I want to know the details of the micro-order, and I hope the experts can explain it ~

There are roughly three kinds of mainstream micro-orders. The first one is the APS-C micro-sheet represented by Sony. The second is the M4/3 microchip represented by Panasonic; The third type is CX-class micro-single represented by Nikon. There is no difference between the three levels, just like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

A, APS-C format micro-sheet, its founder is Sony.

Sony is famous for its powerful sensor production technology and lens production technology. The famous Apple iPhone series cameras are all made by Sony. Here are some famous Sony micro-orders: 1, Sony NEX-7; 2. Sony NEX-5N；; 3. Sony NEX C3 Company

Secondly, I personally prefer Panasonic's M4/3 micro-watch.

The reason is that Panasonic made micro-orders earlier. Panasonic's "Girlfriend (GF)" series has always been the top camera in the eyes of many women, and its sales volume has been far ahead. 1, Panasonic GF52. Panasonic GF33. Panasonic GX 1

Third, because CX frame is a unique product of Nikon, we can only choose Nikon's products here.

However, in the world of SLR, Nikon, as one of the three mainstream manufacturers that keep pace with Canon and Sony, occupies an important position. This time, entering the micro-single is bound to bring many highlights to people. 1, Nikon J2; 2. Nikon J 1

Concept explanation:

1, SLR

SLR, that is, a digital camera with single lens reflection technology, the picture seen by human eyes in the viewfinder is reflected by a piece of mirror glass, so the reflector can bounce up to take pictures when taking pictures.

2. Single electricity

Single camera, that is, a digital camera with single lens translucent reflective technology, the light intensity of the picture seen by human eyes in the viewfinder is only 30%, and 70% of the light is used to take pictures on the image sensor.

3. Micro-single

Micro-single, in short, is a single electricity with reduced volume. Its biggest feature is to reduce the viewfinder and strengthen the direct photographing through the image sensor. Micro-sheets are the first choice for women because of their small size and portability.

4. lens

According to the change of focal length, it can be divided into fixed focus lens and zoom lens; According to the viewing area and depth, it can be divided into wide-angle lens and telephoto lens.

4. 1 fixed focus lens-refers to a lens with only a fixed focal length, only a focal segment, or only a field of view. The biggest advantages are fast focusing speed, stable imaging quality, clear and stable images of moving objects, very accurate focusing, delicate picture, very slight graininess and accurate metering.

4.2 Zoom lens is a camera lens that can change the focal length in a certain range, so as to obtain different field of view angles, different images and different scene ranges. Zoom lens can change the shooting range by changing the focal length without changing the shooting distance, so it is very beneficial to picture composition.

4.3 Wide-angle lens-Generally speaking, a lens with a focal length of less than 35mm is called a wide-angle lens, and its shooting angle is wider than the general lens; Wide-angle lens can be further subdivided. For example, a general lens of 10-20mm can be called a super wide-angle lens.

4.4 telephoto lens-a lens with a focal length greater than 70mm is called a telephoto lens, and its shooting focal length can bring distant objects closer to obtain the ability of long-distance shooting; Telefocal lenses can be further divided, such as 200mm, 300mm, 400mm or even longer lenses (also known as telescope heads).

5. Hole

Aperture is a device used to control the amount of light entering the photosensitive surface of the fuselage through the lens. Usually in the camera. We use the f value to represent the aperture size. When f is used to indicate the aperture, the smaller the number, the larger the aperture. Generally speaking, the larger the aperture, the greater the luminous flux and the higher the image definition, so good lenses are all large aperture lenses.

Generally speaking, the aperture of a zoom lens is mostly variable. Taking the lens with 14-42mm F/3.5-5.6 as an example, it means that the focal length of the lens is 14-40mm and the aperture f value is 3.5-5.6.

Special instructions:

In this extraordinary period, all the cameras I recommend are Japanese products, and some people may express their dissatisfaction. However, it is undeniable that Japanese cameras occupy an absolute dominant position in terms of cost performance, quality and word of mouth. I am also a patriot. Personally, I think that if we want to surpass Japan, we should learn from other people's strengths, not * * * everywhere. In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign goods attracted various unequal treaties. Since the reform and opening up, the introduction of foreign capital has made China surpass Japan to become the second largest economy in the world. I hope someone will think deeply before making a comment.
