Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills teaching

With the increasing popularity of mobile phone photography, more and more photography and video shooting fields can see the figure of mobile phones. In daily documentary photography, mobile phones can be used as auxiliary shooting equipment to achieve various creative effects. The following is the relevant information I have compiled for you for your reference!

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 1. Set the focal length for the subject.

Improper setting of focal length is one of the most common reasons for the final blur of photos, and the problem of focusing will affect photos in any light situation. If you are like most people, you may rely on autofocus to finish shooting, which works well in most cases.

However, sometimes autofocus will let you down, and you may take an image similar to the above photo. For best results, you should set manual focus by touching the screen in the iPhone's camera application.

In this example, the iPhone has automatically set the focus (and exposure) on the photo background, which is why the tennis ball in the foreground is not in focus, but the background is in focus. If my initial goal is to play tennis, I will touch the screen of the ball to manually set the focus (and exposure), as shown in the following example.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills II. Make sure the shooting light is sufficient.

When it is possible to take clear photos with iPhone at night, generally speaking, the effect will be better when there is more light in the photos. In the case of insufficient light (such as indoor shooting), less light reaches the camera sensor. In order to let enough light reach the sensor to produce an appropriately exposed image, the shutter must remain open for a longer time.

Any action when the shutter is open (including the action of the iPhone itself and the movement of the subject) will lead to blurred photos. The longer the shutter is open, the more actions may be taken (leading to more blurring).

When the iPhone doesn't start to manually adjust the shutter speed, the shutter will stay open for a shorter time when there is enough light. So if you can take measures to increase the amount of light entering the photos (such as shooting outdoors or turning on the lights), you will get clearer photos.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 3. Avoid shaking hands.

Of course, sometimes it is impossible to increase the amount of light in the scene. If you want to take pictures at this time, try to avoid iPhone jitter. Please make sure that your hands hold the iPhone tightly, and there is a solid object to support your hands.

Any external building (such as a table or railing) can be used to support the wrist or elbow, or it can be completely against the wall. When there is no external support, you can also try to put your arms on your knees or your elbows on your waist.

Of course, if you take pictures slowly, the shooting effect will be much better. Taking photos slowly can ensure that the photos are taken perfectly, and the body posture is comfortable when holding the iPhone tightly, which helps to avoid unnecessary actions.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 4. Use a sturdy tripod.

Without the support of any equipment, using a high-quality tripod is the best way to avoid any movement (and blur) of photos, which can keep the stability of iPhone to some extent. Of course, wearing a tripod makes your photos lose some natural feeling, but it also brings you magical effects, especially when taking landscape photos and exposing photos for a long time.

When the tripod is used with the iPhone, I suggest using a regular tripod that can keep the iPhone stable even on rocks or ice to take landscape photos. I used a manfutu190xbob tripod with a manfutu 804RC2 pan/tilt, but there must be other options.

You also need to hang the iPhone on a tripod. An easy way is to use the iPhone case in the Manfutu Klyp+ iPhone photography product line.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 5. Photography with headphones

A little-known iPhone photography skill is to use the volume button on the headset as a remote shutter switch. Remember the white Apple headset when you just bought the iPhone? These headphones are very helpful for iPhone photography.

If you press the volume up button on the headphone cable, the iPhone will take photos. This technique of reducing camera motion (holding and using a tripod) is very good because you can take pictures without touching the iPhone.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 6. Avoid moving objects.

In addition to trying to keep the iPhone from shaking, it is equally important to keep the subject still, especially when the light is insufficient. Even if the photo below doesn't achieve the expected effect, it can clearly explain what happens when the subject moves.

In this example, the object on the left is almost completely clear, but the object on the right is blurred. The only difference here is that the person on the left is standing still (except his right arm), while the person on the right is walking quickly through the camera.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 7. Increase contrast in post-processing.

Other tips in this article will help you actually take clearer photos, and the tips mentioned in this paragraph allow you to create a clear-looking iPhone photo with a little modification through post-processing. Increasing the contrast can obviously improve the clarity of photos.

The reason why high-contrast photos appear clearer is that when the contrast increases (especially black-and-white photos), the dividing line between the light and dark parts of the photos is highlighted. Let me give an example to illustrate what I mean.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography tips 8. How to take a backlight photo?

When you see the scene you want to shoot, the backlight always turns the subject black. If you set the object you are shooting as the focus, the background will turn white. What the hell should I do! Did you get angry and smash your cell phone? ! The answer is of course not. At this time, you can try the HDR function of iPhone. Turn on the photography function, and the words "HDR turned off" appear at the top of the screen. At this point, tap the text and it will change to "HDR On". At this time, trying to take photos against the light will result in unexpected results.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 9. How to take a head photo?

Isn't it interesting to see friends in a circle of friends taking pictures of their heads with iPhone? You can't shoot it yourself, can you? It doesn't matter, just use the panoramic shooting function of iPhone.

First, turn on the camera function of iPhone, and switch to panoramic mode when shooting; Secondly, set the subject on one side of the viewfinder and pose to start shooting; Third, move the camera slowly until the subject draws a picture; Fourth, let the subject quickly bypass you from one side of the painting and pose to shoot from the other side. In this cycle, a set of split photos can be easily completed.

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 10, how to keep the focal length and exposure?

Friends who use the iPhone should know very well that touching the screen will complete the focus when shooting. At this time, if you want to move the camera and blur the shooting as much as possible, how to choose the focus? It's actually quite simple. When focusing, hold down the object in the viewfinder until the words "AE/AF Lock" are displayed on the screen, and the focal length and exposure value will remain unchanged. The next step is to turn on your creativity!

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 1 1, how to change the direction of panoramic scanning?

Every time I want to take a panoramic photo, I can only move from left to right, which makes you very unhappy. I just want to shoot from right to left. What's the matter? No problem! Turn on the panoramic function of iPhone. When the arrow to the right appears on the screen, touch the arrow and the scanning direction will be reversed immediately, satisfying your rebellious psychology!

Iphone6s mobile phone photography skills 12, iPhone comes with a remote shutter?

Maybe you already know that the iPhone's volume button can be used as a shutter button. However, don't think that only the "+/-"key on the iPhone can be used as the shutter, and the "+/-"key on your original wired headset can also be used to trigger the photographic shutter. Using wire-controlled headphones to operate iPhone to take photos can not only avoid the vibration caused by touching the phone itself, but also make it easier and more labor-saving for you to take selfies!
