How to make photos very big?

There are as many as 3 million people who like photography (referring to Japan). Why is photography attractive? Why does it fascinate us? The author thinks that photography is interesting because of the following four factors: the subject, equipment, photography skills and mind. Among them, the excavation of subject matter is the most important, which is an indispensable reason for producing excellent works. I want to analyze the four main reasons here, and discuss the charm of taking pictures with SLR cameras and the secret of improving shooting skills.

1. Four factors that make photography interesting

With the development and evolution of SLR cameras, zoom lenses are also extremely popular. The structure of SLR camera is very suitable for using zoom lens. Being able to use zoom lens is the charm of SLR camera. In addition, for the convenience of people who don't know what's interesting about SLR cameras and zoom heads, I'd better talk about the fun of photos first.

Photos have various charms, and the author divides them into four parts:

1. Theme-What's interesting to shoot?

The first is to choose a subject. In the world of photos, choosing what to shoot is the most important. For example, the theme you are looking for, the theme you are doing, the theme you care about and so on. People who can take good photos are often those who have a photographic theme that they can't stop. Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms and red leaves are photographed by many photographers every year.

2. Equipment-operation is interesting

The second point is what we often say about cameras, lenses, films and other equipment. Since its invention, the camera has been attracting people as a tool. In the past, some people were fascinated by the exquisiteness of machinery, but now because of the application of microprocessor in the camera, the camera has realized multi-function and can use all kinds of skills freely. The detailed description of the lens has also been improved, and the image quality has also made a qualitative leap. There are also manic patients who are happy to play with cameras all day.

3. Photography skills-improve happiness

The third point is the skill of photography, which is easy to understand, that is, the shooting method. Facing the same subject, the photos taken by different shooting methods will be completely different, which can also be said to be magical. The benchmark to decide whether a photo is good or bad is photography skill. The improvement of skills will make us feel happy!

4. Mind and intelligence-creation is fun.

The fourth point is called mind. It means mind and spirit. Photos are an expression. The so-called performance is to think with your heart, melt what you feel in your work and pass it on to others. Photos can give full play to their advantages in this respect. In other words, the fourth point is the fun of creating photos.

What's so interesting about photos? What theme suits you? Readers who plan to start taking pictures in the future should ask themselves. Once you understand the overall meaning of photography, it depends on the knowledge you have accumulated, and sorting it out in your brain is linked to the improvement of your level. This doesn't mean that you have to learn everything. The key is to find out which aspect of photography you want to learn. Knowing this, you are close to improving your level.

Second, 90% of good photos depend on the choice of subjects (subjects).

1. Two personalities of photos: recording and creative expression.

A photo has two faces, one for recording and the other for creative expression. The former includes news reports, natural science photography, snapshots and commemorative photos, while the latter refers to artistic photography such as landscape photography, sports photography and advertising photography. However, no matter what kind of photos, it is impossible to completely classify them, because they contain both documentary and artistic aspects. Similarly, no matter what kind of photo it is, it shows the photographer's personality, perceptual knowledge, concept, life experience, mood and orientation method to the subject.

You can see the photographer's personality from the photos. Even when facing the same subject, different photographers will take different photos, because photos can show the author's mind. If you show it naturally, you can actively show it as an intention.

You can tell everyone your views and experiences through photos. At this point, literature, music, sports and artistic ability (a kind of Japanese drama) are all the same. Recently, I feel deeply that Ichiro (a Japanese player who plays baseball in the United States) is a super popular player in the United States and Japan because of his superb skills. Japan regards this as the pride of the Japanese, and there are news about him every day in the sports news) to fully express himself with baseball. Photos are very interesting for people who show concern. I hope those clumsy people who are not good at writing articles can challenge to express their ideas with photos.

2. Pass on your ideas through photos and experience the fun.

Specifically, psychological intelligence is to express theme, image and motivation as a way of thinking.

Motivation is closely related to pressing the shutter. When you press the shutter, there must be a reason for you to press it. Sometimes we also pay attention to the changes of the subject, such as expressions, the beauty of light, incredible phenomena and precious scenes. On the other hand, the photographer's emotional changes such as surprise, emotion, expectation, disappointment, sympathy and hatred are also opportunities for us to press the shutter. All these can be called motivation, which is the intellectual spark of generate in front of the subject.

An image is a photo, and the manuscript has been written in the brain before shooting. Just like the design drawing we have drawn on the table, we have imagined that we will take such a photo. Although it is rare to take photos exactly like the draft, it is essential for us to design a blueprint in our mind before shooting. In fact, if you want to take the same photos as the blueprint you designed in advance, you must rely on hard work and luck, and you will be particularly happy when it really becomes a reality.

The theme can be said to be the idea of a group of works produced by considering a large number of images. As a form of media, it is essential to realize the function of delivering what to whom, which is necessary when holding a photo exhibition and shooting a portfolio. Themed shooting activities will make you feel the highest sense of accomplishment.

Although the subject matter, photographic equipment and photographic skills are slightly different, they are basically the same. The subjects are accessible to anyone, such as Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms, and many photographers are taking pictures at the same time. Photographic equipment will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but there is no big difference. All kinds of books describing photography skills have been standardized, which are similar. But the mind varies from person to person, so it has a strong performance value. For those who have a strong interest in creation, the part of mind and intelligence is a very interesting topic.

What about the whole picture? Interest and center have been explained. (Here, the author used a lot of legends that he shot, but because of his limited editing methods, he could not quote them, so he omitted them. ) And we should always analyze what is interesting, what is boring, what we are good at and what we are not good at. Understand these, beyond their own weaknesses, in order to take a good photo.

-Features of flexible lenses

1. How to use wide-angle lens well

A wide-angle lens refers to a lens with a focal length less than 50MM, such as 35MM, 28MM and 20 mm. The shorter the focal length, the wider the shooting scene. If you shoot in an unrestricted place, of course, it is no problem to lengthen the shooting distance. However, if the venue restricts the photographer's activities, you need to use a wide-angle lens with a large angle. The wide-angle lens is particularly effective when you want to take the whole scenery into the picture from the observatory and take a group commemorative photo in a narrow room.

When using a wide-angle lens, the magnification of the portrait in the viewfinder is greatly reduced, and it is very difficult to observe the subtle parts of the subject. Therefore, we should carefully observe the corners of the picture and be careful not to shoot anything that hinders the picture. Sometimes it is easy to find that there are cigarette butts and other debris in the picture after taking pictures.

Judging from the description characteristics of wide-angle lens, the most typical one is a strong sense of distance. The shorter the focal length, the more you can emphasize the sense of distance in the picture. The closer it is, the bigger the subject will be. Using this descriptive feature, a wide range can be brought into the picture. When the subject is put into the picture as a close shot, a strong sense of distance will have a touching impact. However, it can't be ignored that when the sense of distance is emphasized, the object will be deformed, so it is not suitable to use this lens as a recording photography that attaches importance to recording the shape of the subject. The skew of the picture is greatly influenced by the position of the camera, so try not to use the overhead camera, and the horizontal camera can reduce the skew.

Wide-angle lens is a kind of lens with great depth of field. The depth of field of the subject increases with the shortening of the shooting focal length. The aperture of the 35MM wide-angle lens is placed at F8, and the depth of field is clearly visible in the range of 1.5-3.3m when focusing at 2M. For the same shooting distance, if the ultra-wide angle of 20MM is used, the range from 90CM to infinity is very clear, which further expands the focus range. Focusing from close range to distant view is called pan focus, which is used to capture the desired photos without looking at the viewfinder. Long depth of field is the basis of landscape photography, and wide-angle lens can be said to be very effective in this respect.

2. How to use the standard lens?

A standard lens refers to a lens whose diagonal length is close to the focal length. The diagonal length of 135 camera is 43±2MM, so we generally call a lens with a focal length of about 50MM a standard lens. The stretching angle of the 50MM lens is 46 degrees, which is close to the naked eye.

The characteristic of standard lens is that the photos taken give people a feeling of natural description.

Because the standard lens can let us see the natural description without exaggeration, it is most suitable for photography that pursues the real reproduction object. For documentary photography such as taking flowers and scenery, the standard lens is the most suitable lens. In this way, we can easily understand that close-ups, macro photography cycles and so on are all based on standard lenses.

The standard lens is relatively simple in lens composition, and it is easy to be unique in the method of blurring the difference between left and right flavors and residue, so we can see the unique fuzzy beauty of the title.

The standard lens is characterized by describing the natural sense of distance and the beautiful fuzzy taste. Blur is an effect that can only be produced by clearly depicting the core (central part) of the subject image. Blur is a photographic world invisible to the naked eye, which can only be seen through the lens. It is precisely because of this that the vague description of the outline of an object can stimulate the viewer's good mood, so he feels the existence of beauty. Therefore, when people take close-ups of flowers and women, they use this feature of the header as a means of expression to create a romantic atmosphere.

The fuzzy effect in composition also has the function of ellipsis. Weakening the foreground and background when emphasizing the subject can reflect the effect of fuzzy expression. According to blur, the subject as the theme can be removed, and the scenes before and after entering the screen can be weakened to highlight the interesting center. When there is something bright and dazzling behind the subject, there will be a weakened theme, and the fuzzy effect is the most effective at this time.

When the aperture of large aperture lenses such as F 1 4 and F 1 8 is near the open value, the depth of field is extremely small, and it is easy to get a large blur effect.

3. How to use the telescope head well?

We generally call a lens with a focal length of more than 50MM a telescope head. Generally, 105MM to 300MM lenses are widely used. Telescope heads are 500MM and 800MM above 300MM, and some are above 1000 mm. ..

The feature of this lens is that it has the effect of narrowing the foreground. Telescopes are often used in the field of wildlife photography, or when shooting distant targets at close range. It can also be used for photography when it is too dangerous to get close to the zoo. Not only that, close-up photos of flowers and plants are also very effective. The lens structure does not need a fully extended internal focusing lens, which is very beneficial to the close-up of flowers and insects because of the short shooting distance.

Telescope lens can take close-up photos of flowers and plants, which is just one of its many characteristics. A 300MM lens can take photos of113 times at a shooting distance of 5 m.

Compression effect is a unique description feature of telescope head. Close-up and distant view will enhance the compressed effect. The specialty of the super telescope is to zoom in on the sun with the telescope heads of 500MM and 1000MM, so as to make it contrast with the ground scenery. The captured sun will be reduced to about1100 times the focal length of the lens. Although the size of the sun is the same no matter where it is photographed on the earth, the magnification will also change if the distance between the distant view and the close view of the ground landscape can be handled well. In view of this, when the sun is combined with a landscape that can be changed in size, an ideal photo can be taken.

The longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field and the greater the blur. Furthermore, we can use the beauty blur generated by the depth of the scene in close-up shooting. Large aperture lenses such as 300 mm/F2.8 and 180 mm/F2.8 are particularly effective for close-range photography. When used to shoot flowers and plants, you can take beautiful photos with blurred background.

4. How to make good use of special lenses?

Macro lens has a long protruding distance and can be used for close-up photography. Although macro lens attaches importance to close-range shooting, it can not only be used for close-range shooting, but also achieve the same effect as general lens in long-range shooting.

There are standard macro lenses with focal lengths of 50MM and 60MM, and telescopic micro-drama lenses with focal lengths of 105MM and 200 mm The advantages of standard macro lenses are small size, easy to carry and suitable for shooting subjects at close range. The advantage of telescopic macro lens is that it draws the subject closer from a distance, which is especially beneficial to shoot insects such as dragonflies and butterflies that are difficult to get close to. The unique function of the telescope head to blur and highlight objects will further improve the composition effect.

The fisheye lens belongs to the lens with residual distortion, so that we can see the overall distortion. The distortion is that the angle drawn from the center of the picture is 180 degrees, but the special angle can reach 220 degrees. A circular lens with a diagonal of about 23MM is called a circular fisheye, and a wider range with a diagonal of about 43MM is called a diagonal fisheye lens. Then cut the whole film of 24X36MM, so it is also called a fisheye lens that can shoot four corners.
