Lantern Festival is coming, what should we pay attention to in folk photography?

Folk photography, if we find a definition on the Internet, is very difficult. According to my understanding, I think folk photographers record and inherit a kind of traditional culture, so the significance behind recording this process is both documentary and artistic. With the development of the current photography circle, more photographers try folk photography, and more are rendering and leading between circles and associations to experience the artistic folk photography atmosphere.

And there is a group of people who really record folk photography from the beginning, record it every year and shoot it in all directions. I think these are masters of folk photography. Of course, these all need the cooperation of the right time and the right place. From the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, there are many activities, depending on how you choose.

For example, Fengshun's dragon dance.

If you go out with the photography group, remember to make preparations. These grass-roots team leaders will tell you in advance, because from a distance, you can't produce good works, and from a close distance, you can't do without preparation. At the same time, the crowd is surging, and equipment safety is worthy of attention. Don't get a job and lose heart.

We often say that works need a certain tone, a certain light, a certain layout and composition, and a certain sense of form.

Like this photo, if we still take it like this, it will be difficult to stand out, because the tone is too ordinary and not brilliant enough, just an ordinary photo with ordinary exposure. If we take such photos, we can only send them to friends. If no one exchanges reminders, it will not help us improve our technology at all.

This kind of photo is more of a description. It was taken away because of the flash. In fact, everyone is taking folk photography. My suggestion is to use natural light as much as possible. In these poor light conditions, everyone boldly uses high ISO to ensure the exposure of the picture.

This photo was taken too early, because the most wonderful thing about the fire dragon is that the spark runs with the feeling of character movement. Therefore, without this part of the foil, the fire dragon photos taken are of little significance.
