Shooting skills of stage lighting

Stage lighting technology is as follows:

Prompt 1: Turn off the flash manually.

The stage lighting is well designed and has a high brightness. By improving the sensitivity, a set of good shooting parameters can be obtained, and a clear image can be taken by hand without a flash. I use Canon EOS 400D digital SLR camera, EF 70-200F2.8 lens. Common shooting parameters are ISO400 and F2.8, and the shutter speed can reach1100s or more.

Tip 2: Choose a slightly different shooting angle.

Stage photography is still mainly about shooting people, so shooting from the side will get more pleasing photos. Usually we choose the front angle of 30 ~ 60 to shoot. Most actors are used to holding the microphone in their right hand, so shooting on the actor's left side can better prevent the microphone from blocking their faces.

Tip 3: Choose the right shooting angle.

Not all pictures are suitable for shooting from the side, and some solemn or symmetrical scenes are still suitable for shooting from the front. Backlight or large LED can be used as the background to shoot a magnificent feeling. Singers and dancers will also interact when shooting concerts, and the final collective modeling is also suitable for frontal shooting.

Tip 4: Pay attention to the grasp of the moment.

One of the characteristics of stage performance is the combination of motion and static. Even if the martial arts performance is dynamic, there should be a short static appearance moment. These moments are the essence of the program and one of the most worthwhile pictures. A short pause is more beneficial for us to use a slower shutter to get a clear image.

Tip 5: Use wide angle appropriately.

This is of course no problem in the case of good lighting conditions and high shutter speed, but in the case of poor lighting, the photos taken by hand-held cameras are easy to blur, leaving only regrets. Instead of this, it is better to use wide-angle end. Although the proportion of people in the photos has decreased, the images can be seen clearly on the computer.

Tip 6: predict in advance that the program will take up space.

At the end of some large-scale parties, the host will invite all the actors to take photos with the guests again, which has almost become an unwritten rule. When you heard the host invite all the actors to the stage, it was too late to seize the favorable terrain. Some experienced photographers have occupied the most favorable terrain and set up long guns and short guns.
