Pseudo-axis-shifting lilliputian country looking for the hottest DC fun shooting mode miniature landscape

It seems that taking photos in the IT 168 evaluation center has always been full of mysterious magic of light and shadow. Over the years, when digital is involved in the imaging industry, from light and shadow graffiti to virtual speckle photography, we have witnessed more and more interesting and easy-to-achieve style photos becoming popular online and offline. During this period, the role of digital technology is to make photography more intuitive, simpler and more civilian, and the card machine has become a necessity for every family? Fool? Equipment, even more intimate, even if you don't know the reason of this matter at all, you can control it freely and get wonderful picture effects. Then let's take a look at the most popular photos on the internet now. Maybe many of us have seen it from different community websites and forums. Lilliput? Photos, which are extremely popular in photo album websites such as flickr because of their strong visual impact and wonderful picture effects. At first glance, houses, farmland, traffic and viaducts have all become exquisite three-dimensional miniature models, and people are in such a lilliputian country. Does this wonderful feeling of taking pictures suddenly make you feel that you are in Gulliver's lilliputian country?

In fact, this photography mode didn't appear recently. The imaging of this photo was based on a special lens at the earliest? Axis-shifting lens Of course, this kind of photography style was once enjoyed only by the minority of interchangeable lens SLR and axis-shifting lens. However, so far, our digital cameras have been able to simulate many picture effects that were once based only on lenses or optical processes by using electronic and software technologies. So don't worry, the small camera at hand is working on a more playable shooting experience with an increasingly powerful attitude, so? Lilliput? You and I can also take pictures. Let's take a look at the wonders of the world's axis-shifting wizards first. Lilliput? We'll see ~

In addition to the pleasant effect of static moving pictures, many foreign photographers connect these static pictures in series into dynamic images to show the city and the busy people in the city from a more vivid perspective. American photographer Sam O'Hare is one of them. He used the splicing of 35,000 consecutive photos to complete an amazing time-delay shift photography (click the picture below to download the film). Faced with these exquisite images, we seem to be high above the host, looking at this busy and complicated world with God-like eyes.

What the hell are they talking about?

Before we fall in love with miniature photography, we might as well have a brief understanding of what it really means. Moving axis? How did it turn ordinary buildings into toy castles? Let's put aside the data and light path diagram of pedants. As the name implies, the axis-shifting lens is a movable lens, and its special feature is that it is movable. The conventional lenses we usually see are all fixed lens shapes. Except for the focusing ring, the rest are almost high-precision and expensive structures, and the position cannot be changed at will. The axis moving lens has a movable lens body that can move or tilt. Of course, through some knobs and keys, we can control the angle of lens shift or tilt at will.

Different picture effects can be taken by shifting and tilting the axis-shifting lens. Offset operation is generally used to correct the architectural form caused by the perspective effect of the near big and the far small when the building is photographed. Distortion? . Using it, we can also get a straight line effect of parallel shooting when shooting at a low angle in a limited position (as shown in Figure A). The other is to use the tilt angle. In this environment, the focal plane of the camera can coincide with the object with an inclined angle, so as to focus in the whole range of the object (as shown in Figure B), or conversely, things with the same focal plane can take photos with different depth of field (as shown in Figure C). And what is the application of shifting lens to create micro-city effect? Anti-axis displacement? . The so-called anti-axis movement is to focus a part of the subject by using the tilt angle effect. When it is used to shoot our city scenery, only one point in the overlooking city picture is clearly in focus, while other positions show the fuzzy virtual image of Jiao Wai. Using the visual habits of human eyes coincides with our visual experience in macro shooting, thus creating the illusion of macro photos, thus making the urban illusion into a miniature model (Figure D).

I want to shoot Gulliver's lilliput, without moving the axis.

After watching those boring shots, do you want to be as opportunistic as me, and you can experience the fun of miniature shooting from time to time without spending so much money? Fortunately, some pioneers have achieved the effect of shifting axis photography through built-in software in the consumer-grade computer market. Without much gossip, let's take a look at the micro-city effect shot by small DC.

For example, two thin card machines of Canon IXUS have the ability of miniature landscape imaging. Under the trigger of this mode, we can choose the box position in the viewfinder at will, which is also the range of clear focus. In addition, the pictures all show different degrees of blur effect, and there has never been a micro-city style photo gathering.

Seeing the imaging characteristics of Canon miniature landscape model, we can't help but think of foreign mapping websites that were popular in major community websites six months ago. Users upload a photo and choose the length, width and position of the box in the picture. Finally, the website can complete a Lilliputian style picture for download.

We guess that all small card machines in miniature landscape mode have built-in image processing programs similar to tilt websites in their cameras, which can provide us with obvious miniature images immediately without uploading the images to the network later. This is beyond doubt in many brands? Beauty? Beautiful scenery? Dynamic synthesis? After the mode, embedding ps technology into the camera is another successful example.

In order to use the related mode of small camera to shoot a more effective toy city, we have listed some precautions as follows:

Lip 1。 Try to shoot the scenery from above, so it is easier to get the effect of miniature landscape. If you shoot the building upside down or horizontally, the effect is not outstanding.

Lip2。 Give priority to scenes where things are scattered, which makes it easier to create a miniature sense of space.

Lip3。 Suggest shooting a big scene. The bigger the scene, the easier it is to get a different picture.

Consumer machine thermal miniature mode? Olympus stereoscopic effect played early.

As early as the E-P2 era, Olympus's interchangeable-lens notebook computer used the stereoscopic effect mode in the filter effect, which is similar to the miniature landscape mode and can help us interpret the photographed building as a toy castle.

Consumer machine thermal miniature mode? Ricoh also has a miniature mode.

Ricoh launched the 10 times portable telephoto CX3 this year, and we also saw the miniature landscape mode. The addition of this interesting mode will undoubtedly make CX3 more playable with portability and professional performance of telephoto.

In the spring of Canon 20 10, three new products were added with miniature landscape mode, namely IXUS series IXUS 130 and IXUS 2 10. In addition, Boxiu series pocket telephoto sx 2 10 has also implanted a brand-new miniature landscape mode.
