What are the control skills of shooting angle?

What are the shooting angles? Horizontal angle is also commonly used when shooting. In fact, low-angle shooting can bring more impulse to the audience's vision. Let's look at these shooting angles!

Using the characteristics of wide-angle lens

The wide-angle lens has a wide viewing angle and can accommodate more scenes; In addition, the wide-angle lens has obvious perspective deformation, and the object close to the lens is larger, and vice versa. Photographers can make more use of the characteristics of wide-angle lenses to shoot images with rich scenery and exaggerated effects. In addition, the wide-angle image can also facilitate the photographer to process the image in the later stage of shooting, for example, after cutting due to the correction level, the subject can still be kept intact.

Attention level

Sometimes, it is difficult to get the correct picture level, because you may not be able to look straight when shooting. Photographers can add an external level to the camera. Generally, an external level can be added to the flash hot boots of the camera. In addition, if the photographer's digital camera is equipped with an electronic level, you may wish to use it more. Of course, photographers can also process images through computers, but it is time-consuming.

Control the aperture to make the focus stand out from the main body.

Aperture can control the depth of field, and focusing can determine the clear position of the image. The flexible combination of the two, together with proper composition, can help photographers highlight the main body of their works.

Observe more and try more.

Photography is not only an art, but also like science, which requires different attempts and explorations to find a suitable angle to shoot. After reading this introduction, you might as well try to shoot from a new angle and explore a new world!

Look at the world from a low angle

When shooting children and animals, do you find the images unsatisfactory? Have you ever thought that this is because you take pictures from a daily perspective? In fact, sometimes shooting from a low position will surprise you, because it is a visual effect that people have less daily contact with. However, low-angle shooting is not purely bottom-up. Shooting subjects close to the ground at a horizontal angle can also be regarded as a kind of low-angle shooting!

Flexible thinking about shooting angle

Taking a low angle as the shooting angle does not mean that people are encouraged to shoot at a low angle blindly, but in addition to using daily angles, we can also consider shooting at a low angle to diversify photographers' works. For example, when shooting children and animals, you can try to "lower your body" and shoot images at the same level with them, so that the audience can see the world from their perspective.

Be patient in framing and composition.

When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to find and compose the picture through the viewfinder, and the result can only be? Shoot blindly and keep trying? The shooting method undoubtedly tests the photographer's patience. If the photographer's camera is equipped with LCD real-time display function or even multi-angle display, it will be easier to shoot!
