How to take good news photos of university campus

For student journalists, it is often necessary to shoot various special conferences. It seems easy to take photos of the meeting, but it is actually very difficult. The difficulty lies in how to shoot new ideas.

To take photos of the meeting, good photography skills. You should not only learn the photos of the meeting on the newspaper website and see how they are taken, but also learn the knowledge of photography and know what shutter, aperture and flash are. Even if it is an automatic camera now, you should take the camera safely. This is the minimum.

Camera: you must buy an autofocus camera, which is too slow to operate manually and takes time to focus (here refers to film camera); If you buy a digital camera, you must have a SLR digital camera because the shutter delay time is short. Besides, I think digital cameras should be the first choice for shooting meetings and so on. , convenient and fast, no post-cost. However, the biggest advantage of digital cameras is that they produce films very quickly. Photos with high timeliness requirements can be directly sent to the major news media on the spot by laptop, and those that need to be refined can be directly input into the computer for adjustment and use.

Lens: zoom lens, one is enough! If conditions permit, it is best to use a constant aperture lens, because meetings are usually arranged indoors. If the light is bad, the distance is too long or the flash cannot be used in some cases, a telephoto lens with a large aperture can play a role.

Flash: the index should be large and the quality should be high, and it is best to flash continuously. Most meetings are arranged indoors, so high-quality flash is essential. Don't underestimate the function of the flash, it is as important as the camera itself. I have suffered a lot, for example, the flashing indicator is too small, the callback time is too slow, etc., which leads to missed shooting and fake shooting, and has been severely criticized by the leaders. Batteries and film should be well prepared, only a little more, otherwise once the ammunition and food are exhausted, you will be miserable.

Taking conference photos seems simple, but in fact, it takes some effort to take good photos and constantly sum up shooting experience. Whether it's a large conference or a small conference, generally speaking, taking three sets of photos can reflect the basic content of the conference, and newspapers and billboards can be used. Or stored as information.
