How to shoot jade

First, the preparation before shooting

The background color is more convenient to shape the outline of jade.

First of all, jade should be placed in a suitable background, and then how to use it will be considered. If the jadeites are arranged with a light background, the colors will be close to each other, which is not conducive to highlighting the outline. When the details are marked with strong light, a projection will be left on the light background, which will interfere with the reproduction of the jadeite outline. Therefore, most jade articles should be set off with a deep background color, such as dark gray, dark brown or dark green. That is, you can set off the outline of jade without worrying about the projection on the background.

Clearly express the pattern with macro lens

Most jade articles are small in size, and only when the patterns of two or three square centimeters are enlarged several times can the patterns and the processing traces of craftsmen be clearly displayed, so macro lenses are generally used when shooting. If you use a small DC, turn the camera to the macro function.

Solving the problem of color deviation with white balance

I want to make my beloved jade look real. First of all, adjust the white balance of the machine so that the color of the picture is the same as that of the real thing. It's a good idea to see a cigarette next to many photos taken by Yuyou. If the white color of smoke is restored correctly, then the color of jade is restored correctly.

Secondly, it is skillful to put jade articles that can be placed upright on the shooting stage. I won't talk about it here, but some jade articles that are thin and inconvenient to stand upright, such as jade cards, need to be placed in some ways when shooting.

A, the easiest way is to fix the jade on the shooting stage. There are many ways to repair jade. You can use wax or double-sided tape, or you can use a paper clip to hold the jade at the back. When fixing jade, the bracket used should be small, because jade is transparent. If the support is too large, it will block the light and leave a bulge on the jade, which is not conducive to the performance of jade transparency and texture.

If you use a small DC, turn the camera to the macro function. Correct exposure Correct exposure can ensure the texture and color of jade. It is best to use the central focus mode when metering, which is simple and practical and basically does not require exposure compensation. When shooting, the mode of surround exposure is also adopted. After shooting, the accuracy of exposure can be judged by observing the graph of the photo. In short, the overall effect should be considered in shooting, and the other side should not be ignored in order to express one side. Only by considering the whole from part to part can we have a complete work.
