Photography lamp technology travel photography posture

Many times, traveling is for taking photos, and Bian Xiao's going out to play is no exception. Today, Bian Xiao tells you about taking pictures while traveling and the posture of taking pictures when traveling.

Correct selection of camera equipment

Choosing the right camera and lens is the basis of taking high-quality photos. Especially for travel shooting, the choice must be correct. First of all, a full-frame camera is indispensable. High-definition tourism photography must have high quality and high fineness, and Quan Huafu can meet this demand. In the choice of lens, we must first have a wide-angle head. Powerful wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle lenses allow you to take amazing photos of large scenes. When the model is at the entrance of a large building or in a vast landscape, a photo with strong visual impact can be taken with a wide angle. In addition, it is also a common method to take blurred photos with a fixed focus lens and a large aperture at the same time. In this shooting state, the scenery appears hazy, and you can better understand the temperament of the model. Of course, telephoto lenses are also suitable for some travel shooting scenes, so we should choose them correctly according to the actual shooting situation.

Recommended cameras: Canon 5D3 and 5D4, Nikon D8 10 and D850, Sony A9, A7R2 and A7R3.

Recommended lenses: 16-35mm(F2.8), 35mm(F 1.4), 50mm(F 1.4), 85mm(F 1.4), 70-200mm (2.

Set the camera mode correctly

Use the rear focus button (AF-ON).

Many cameras have an autofocus button. This function is suitable for the situation that the position of the subject will change at any time. For example, when you want to shoot a model who needs to run to create a sense of the picture, you can use AF-ON technology to adjust the autofocus to AF-C (continuous autofocus), and then use AF-ON lock to continue shooting.

Try to use M mode.

The camera has various shooting modes, including AV (aperture priority), TV (shutter priority), P (automatic exposure mode) and M (manual control mode). We can see from a picture that only M file is suitable for any scene. However, in travel shooting, because there are many uncertain factors in the environment, it is most appropriate to use M file. Of course, this model requires higher ability.

Make full use of flash/fill light

Although some photographers think that flash will destroy the feeling of photos, in fact, reasonable use will bring beautiful eyes and enough brightness to the environment in photos taken during travel.

Correct use of posture

Concave modeling is a very important factor in travel photography. If the pose of the model is too rigid, the photo will become dull and boring, just like a painting without soul. There are countless styles of travel photography, some of which are classic.

Side shot

Many times, the side face looks better than the front face, because the side face can mask the facial expression to some extent. The side face shooting mostly takes the blurred scene as the foreground, the background is also blurred, and the face accounts for more in the picture, which can make people pay more attention to the model's face.

Back shooting

Shooting with the back can reflect the beauty of the model's body lines, especially the lines of the arms and neck, almost without looking at the face. The concavity of the back is more important. For example, stretching, skipping, tying hair, holding milk tea and looking at the distance. You don't have to worry about your face value to a large extent.

Pat you on the back.

Lying down will give people a feeling of natural laziness, especially when shooting small fresh themes, lying down will be more youthful and energetic. Such scenes are generally chosen on the green grass, the playground on campus and so on.

Squat shooting

This position is more suitable for close-ups, such as letting the model squat, licking her hair and holding her chin. Or use some specific small scene environment with the model, which will create a fresh and elegant feeling. Compared with other postures, this posture takes more effort, but it can get a different visual experience.

Correct use of light

Light is an extremely important part of travel photography. Without perfect light, photos will lose too much texture. Going to different places, different weather, different scenes, carrying different equipment, different manpower configuration and different shooting methods all involve different lighting skills and methods.

direct light

On sunny days, direct sunlight produces bright colors on the light-receiving surface of the photographed object, while the indirect light-receiving surface forms obvious projection. This kind of light, which we call direct light, is suitable for shooting the three-dimensional modeling of the model.

Shunguang illumination

Diverted light, also called "front light", refers to the light with the same projection direction and shooting direction, and the light received by the scene is uniform and high in brightness. In this case, the environment and people have enough brightness, but the texture under the light is relatively dull.

backlight

Backlight, as the name implies, is backlight shooting. The backlight picture has a large light ratio, which makes it difficult to shoot. But there are many ways to play, which can create many extraordinary visual effects. It is the most "literary" light level, and it is also a common use of light in travel shooting.
