Canon 5d3 SLR photography skills

The launch of Canon 5D3, with its excellent performance, makes people shine and look forward to it. I really want to try this camera myself. In the process of trying, we must master some photography skills. The following are the photography skills of Canon 5d3 SLR that I have compiled for you, hoping to help you!

Canon 5d3 SLR photography skills 1. Shoot the mountains.

Point 1. Decide the theme, scale and adjust the composition.

When taking a landscape photo, you must remember that you can't just lift it blankly, but find the theme of the picture in the landscape. In the above picture, the distant mountains become the theme of the picture. In order to control the composition, you can use a variety of lenses from wide angle to telephoto, or you can try to express the scene in a vertical way.

The second point. Try to keep the picture horizontal or vertical.

When taking landscape photos, you should pay attention to the fact that the picture can't be tilted. When shooting, the grid lines are displayed in real time, which can be used as a reference for detecting whether the picture is horizontal or not. In addition, some models are equipped with electronic level meters, so it is recommended to use them flexibly. You can also use a level that can be hung on the camera's hot shoes, or a level with a tripod.

The third point. Fix the camera with a tripod.

As mentioned earlier, using a tripod can make the composition more stable. Also, when using Av (Aperture Priority Auto Exposure) mode to narrow the aperture for shooting, if the light is weak, the shutter speed may decrease, so be sure to prepare a tripod.

The fourth point. Focus on infinity

When shooting a distant view such as a landscape, the focus position is at infinity. If you want to focus accurately, you can use the real-time display function to enlarge the LCD monitor screen and focus manually according to the enlarged detail definition, so that you can focus more accurately. The method of aiming the focusing ring at infinity is easy to produce focusing error and is not recommended.

The fifth point. Restrain the vibration caused by camera action

Especially when shooting with telephoto lens, even the action of camera endoscope will become the cause of picture jitter. To suppress the action of the mirror, it is suggested to use real-time display to shoot. Because the real-time display shows that the reflector has risen in the shooting state, there is no bouncing vibration. In addition, the mute mode that makes the mirror quiet and the mirror pre-lift function that can lift the mirror before shooting are also very effective. It can also be released with a cable, and pressing the shutter button will not cause vibration.

Canon 5d3 SLR photography skills II. Animal shooting

Use a light telephoto lens and high ISO sensitivity to shoot moving animals.

Point 1. Flexible use of anti-shake function

If a telephoto zoom lens IS used, it is best to choose an IS image stabilizer with hand shake compensation mechanism. Of course, a high-speed shutter can also prevent hand shake, but if the lens has an optical anti-shake mechanism, the picture in the viewfinder will be more stable, which is very beneficial to telephoto.

The second point. Select the appropriate autofocus mode according to the situation.

In the face of those animals that are always moving, the artificial intelligence servo autofocus mode should be adopted, while for those animals that are sometimes still, the artificial intelligence autofocus mode should be adopted. Of course, artificial intelligence servo autofocus can also be carried out in artificial intelligence autofocus mode, but it takes some time to start automatic tracking of the subject, so what mode to use needs to be selected according to the situation.

The third point. Select the autofocus point to focus the animal's eyes.

Instead of letting the camera automatically select the focus, it manually selects the focus to focus on the animal's eyes. Photographers should choose the autofocus point as close as possible to the animal's eyes and be ready to capture the animal's instantaneous movements at any time.

The fourth point. Set the driving mode to continuous shooting.

In order to better grasp the movements of animals, the driving mode is continuous shooting. Unlike some large animals, which move very slowly, some small animals move very fast and it is difficult to catch them with one shot.

The fifth point. Blur the background and highlight animals as the theme.

Choosing the right background is very important for photographing animals. Photographers should find a clear and tidy perspective and quickly decide the shooting location. If the illuminated part is selected as the background, the effect of background blur will be better.

Canon 5d3 SLR photography skills III. Street snapshot

Point 1. Flexible use of lens anti-shake function

There is no limit to what lens to use, but there is often a big difference between light and dark in the street, and the shutter speed will be unexpectedly low. Considering such shooting conditions, choosing the lens with hand shake compensation mechanism as the image stabilizer can make shooting more convenient.

The second point. Intercept what you find interesting.

Capturing is not capturing everything you see, but capturing what you find interesting. Want to cut the picture? Firm determination? . Don't think too much, just show the subject as you like.

The third point. Carry as light equipment as possible.

It is usually difficult to take a snapshot without a tripod. It is very important to maintain mobility when capturing. It is suggested to use ISO sensitivity flexibly and give full play to the advantages of hand-held shooting.
