Nikon SLR character shooting skills

Single lens reflective viewfinder camera, also known as SLR camera. Refers to a camera that uses a single lens, through which light shines on the reflector and takes a view through reflection. The following are the shooting skills of Nikon SLR characters. Please refer to!

Nikon SLR figure shooting skills to understand the three parameters of the camera

1. shutter: the speed unit of the shutter is seconds, and the normally displayed value is a fraction of a second. The larger the denominator, the faster the shutter, and vice versa.

The shutter controls the time when light enters the photosensitive element. Simply understood, the faster the photosensitive element responds, the more accurate the freezing moment is. Slow shutter can be used to shoot stars and tracks, traffic, silk water and so on. Ordinary shutters are generally used to take photos without specific artistic requirements in the case of sufficient light, and fast shutters are generally used to shoot moving scenes.

Normal shutter

Fast shutter

2. Aperture: The larger the value, the smaller the aperture and the deeper the depth of field; The smaller the value, the larger the aperture and the shallower the depth of field.

Aperture controls the amount of light entering the photosensitive element, which is generally expressed by F value. The smaller the value, the larger the aperture, and the more light enters, and vice versa, which will affect the depth of field of the photo. The popular view of depth of field is the degree of blur. For example, nearsighted people can see things near with wide eyes (the larger the aperture, the shallower the depth of field), and it is also good to try to squint at things far away (the smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field). The aperture here is equivalent to the degree of closure of the human eye. Large aperture is suitable for taking photos with blurred front and back subjects, while small aperture is suitable for taking photos with clear details.

Large aperture, deep scene and good blur effect.

Small aperture, deep scenery, clear scenery before and after.

Ultra-small aperture, deep depth of field, can shoot the star-studded effect.

3.ISO: it's very simple. Just remember, those with low sensitivity (such as ISO 100) have fine picture quality and little noise; High sensitivity (such as ISO6400, ISO 12800), poor image quality and much noise.

Under normal light, it is suggested that the ISO of the entry machine should be set to 800 or below as far as possible; If the light is sufficient, use ISO 100 or 200; If the light is really bad at night and you want to shoot something, there is no way. ISO must be set very high.

4. Parameter values are generally used among the three.

(1) Under normal light, outdoors during the day: ISO is generally set in the range of 100~400; Generally, the shutter can be up to 1/500 seconds, and it can be boldly up to11000 seconds with sufficient light. If you want to shoot a silky feeling, it is recommended to add a filter. The aperture is set according to the degree of blur you need. Normal portrait shooting is set within F5.6, and if you need to shoot scenery, you can set it at F6.7

(2) On cloudy days or indoors, in the case of insufficient light and no flash: ISO is generally set in the range of 400~800; The shutter is in the range of1125 seconds to 1/350 seconds; Aperture should be given priority to with large aperture, which can be set within F5.6

(3) indoors, when the light is extremely insufficient to use the flash: generally, if the ISO is improved, the half-frame camera can be set in the range of 1600~3200, and the full-frame camera can be set in the range of 3200~6400; The shutter is set in the range of 1/60 seconds to1125 seconds; If you need to see the front and back scenes clearly, the aperture is set to F5.6, if not, you can set it within F5.6. ..

The relationship between the three is that there is sufficient light and ISO takes precedence. The lower the ISO value, the better the photo texture. If the light is not enough, improve ISO appropriately to ensure that the shutter does not need to be too slow (except with a tripod) and the photo can clearly capture the subject; The aperture depends on the spirit you need.

Photography skills of character landscape

Make the picture more directional.

Sometimes, the main body of the landscape photos we take does not contain only one "element", but consists of several or several "elements". The rest of these elements serve the "body".

note:

Characters must have regularity, such as the same color, the same movement, the same direction and so on. , as a whole to assist composition and guide the line of sight, to avoid too scattered and chaotic.

Tell stories better.

Compared with someone's picture, sometimes the clean scenery looks empty. In landscape photos, people appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also make people think, why is this person there and who is he? What is he doing? It can be said that people give photos more stories and make them have double connotations.

note:

The styles of people and scenery in photos must be unified, the scenery must bring people together, and the story association triggered by characters must be related to the scenery. For example, if a tourist walks by, it will destroy the artistic conception of the picture.

Enrich picture elements

Sometimes, the beauty in the eyes looks monotonous in the photos. For example, when we shoot the prairie, do you expect a few white clouds to decorate the picture under the endless green?

note:

Characters are added to the picture as embellishments, and the proportion should not be too large. They have no story, but they must have visual expression (color, light and shadow, action).

Increase contrast

Size is comparison, so is landscape photography. Simply shooting a landscape work, it is difficult for readers in front of the picture to feel how high the building is and how vast the ocean is. But if you take people into the picture as a reference, the contrast will appear immediately.

note:

Pay attention to the proportion of people and things. The bigger the gap, the better the effect.

Manufacturing effect

Many times, seemingly simple and boring landscape photos will show unexpected effects because of the appearance of people.

note:

Choosing people related to the environment and using their elements can better explain the background.

Auxiliary component

Landscape photography is easy to lose focus because of its vast scene, so the whole picture is empty but empty. If you are in a photo, you can often improve a lot. Shoot the scenery, find that special person in the scenery, and bring him into the camera together, then the picture becomes interesting. After becoming the focus, people can complement each other with the landscape and become the focus at the same time.

note:

Because people exist as one of the key points, it is best to occupy a certain proportion in the picture. Usually the positions are arranged at four points of TIC-tac-toe game composition.
