How to take good-looking photos with your mobile phone when traveling abroad?

I am not a great god in this field, but as a poor college student who has gradually explored the routine on the road of traveling and taking pictures and has no SLR, I still have some mental journey to share.

The following photos were taken by mobile phone and iphone+ post-software (VCSO+Snapseed).

Is it necessary to play (bi) when going out to take photos? Yes, you can.

And this.

. . . . . . .

I don't know if this symbol is in line with the scope of "eye-catching and good-looking" mentioned by the subject.

First of all, if it looks good, it involves some simple photography skills.

1. composition (mainly introducing my two commonly used)

A. Jiugongge composition: focus on the four points where Jiugongge intersects.

Thirty-sixth street in Hanoi (put the end of the street at the intersection on the lower right)

PS: If you are in a hurry or are not satisfied with the photos, you can cut them out, as shown in the above picture, and then adjust the angle.

B. trigonometry: divide the picture into three parts (horizontal and vertical), and place the prominent part near the bisector.

Hui 'an Ancient Town, Vietnam (near the right bisector)

Step 2: Attitude

A. bang! ! !

Many times, posing for the camera is usually very. Fall down. Awkward. . . The effect is blunt and unnatural. When I take photos with my friends, I usually take two steps at random, take a snapshot, and occasionally look back at the camera, which is meaningful. Ha ha.

Mohe Beiji Village (sprinkling snow)

B. In order to avoid stiff expression, you don't have to look at the camera or wear sunglasses.

After all, we are not models and may not have such a good camera sense, so we can do this.

C. with the help of the concave modeling of the scene

D. Using light

You can take a silhouette.

3. Late stage

Here are two softwares, namely VSCO and snapseed, which I often use.

In most cases (if the requirements are not very high), basically VSCO can handle it. VSCO has many filters, but some of them cost money. The price of each series is different, about 15, around 20 yuan. But the omnipotent tb can handle almost all series for less than ten yuan, which makes me choose filters for a long time every time. ...

But I personally don't like photos with strong filter sense, so most of the time I manually adjust the contrast, saturation, dark angle, color temperature and so on. If you think something is still missing after these adjustments, add a filter to make it icing on the cake.

This is the original picture.

After tuning with VSCO, do you feel that the feelings the photos want to express are stronger?

There is no filter in this photo, just simply adjust the parameters such as saturation and color temperature.

Snapseed is not used much. Personally, I think snapseed can handle some pictures more delicately. For example, the background is blurred, but it is also very powerful.

In addition, the subject has said that there are constraints, how can it be considered constraints?

1. Do as the Romans do.

Riding a motorcycle in Da Nang (80 miles for the first time)

The photo may not be beautiful, but it should look like a story.

Unknown wild mountains around Lhasa. Cooking instant noodles in the mountains with an outdoor cooker on his back. . . What's even more amazing is that I didn't bring a knife or chopsticks. As a result, I used stones as knives and branches as chopsticks, and I washed them in the stream below.

I don't know if it's a bandit cave or a practice cave on the wild mountain. There is actually a rope in it that can climb a cliff more than two people high, and there are animal bones on the cliff. It's too dark to take pictures.

Shoot others.

Motorcycles are everywhere (to be honest, this is a rare era. . . )

4. Take pictures of the interesting things you see.

A monkey who grabs mineral water directly from his hand and then unscrews the bottle cap naturally and drinks it all at once.

The mineral water bottle that I wanted to throw on the ground was thrown into the trash can, and I found another one in the trash can.

That's all I can think of at the moment. The camera technology is not very good, but it is just not so tourist. Welcome to add ~ ~
