Introduction Skills of Digital Photography (3)

Several important details in the shooting process 1. Push the zoom to the wide-angle end to shoot. This is for digital cameras that can't change lenses. Contrary to traditional cameras, which have to shoot macro with telephoto end, digital cameras need to adjust the zoom to wide angle, and then choose macro shooting mode to shoot close to the object. Only in this way can it be more accurate and faster. DSCN06 13。 The file extension of encoded image stored in jpeg file exchange format.

2. Pay attention to the light when shooting. The following mainly talk about the usage of light level:

(1) Guang Shun. Also known as "frontal light", it refers to the light with the same projection direction and shooting direction. In this light, the subject receives light evenly, the scenery has no shadow, and the color is saturated, which can show rich color effects. However, the scenery lacks contrast between light and shade, and there is no sense of hierarchy and three-dimensional sense. Personally, I don't like to use this kind of lamp. The photos look straightforward and lifeless.

(2) backlight. Also known as backlight, the light is opposite to the shooting direction, which can outline the brightness outline of the subject, also known as sidelight. The scenery under the backlight has distinct layers, prominent lines and vivid pictures, and the photos taken have a strong sense of three-dimensional and space. Therefore, backlight is most suitable for dark scenes under dark background and is an ideal light. We often use it to capture silhouettes, and the effect is good.

(3) Side lights. Refers to the light whose projection direction forms an angle of more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with the shooting direction. The object under side light has good contrast between light and shade, strong stereoscopic impression, good color reproduction and rich light and shade levels. The side light of 45 degrees is the best, because it conforms to people's visual habits and is one of the most commonly used light levels.

(4) dome light. This means that the light comes from above the subject. Under the top light, the horizontal illumination of the scene is greater than the vertical illumination, and there is no intermediate level, which makes the scene and characters look lifeless and is an unsatisfactory light. However, it is very expressive for the dark circles, prominent cheekbones and wrinkles carved by knives of special figures such as the elderly and old peasant women.

(5) weak light. Refers to the sun rays that have just risen or will fall from the ground, mainly from morning and evening. The scenery taken in weak light is very lively, and this kind of light has a low color temperature and a warm red tone, which has a special color effect and is an ideal light.

(6) Scattered light. Also known as false negative light, the illumination is average, the light is soft, the light ratio is small, the color difference is small, and there is no obvious projection on the subject. This kind of light should show a quiet and beautiful life, an innocent girl and an innocent child.

3. Pay attention to the shooting angle. First of all, the shooting direction refers to the relative position of the camera and the subject on the horizontal plane of the camera, which is what we usually call front, back, left, right or front, back and side. When we want to start taking pictures, we always choose the shooting point, that is, the shooting direction. First determine the direction, and then determine the shooting angle. When the direction of photography changes, the image characteristics and artistic conception of the picture will also change.

Frontal shooting:

Shooting in front is beneficial to show the positive features of objects and can fully show the horizontal lines on the screen. This kind of frontal shooting tends to show a solemn and quiet atmosphere and the symmetrical structure of the object. When taking portraits, you can still see the complete facial features and expressions of the characters, which is very intimate. When shooting from the front, the horizontal line of the subject is easy to be parallel to the horizontal frame of the viewfinder, but if the main picture area is large, it is easy to be blocked by the horizontal line of the subject, so that our line of sight cannot extend in depth. Such a composition will appear dull, lacking three-dimensional sense and sense of space.

Back shot:

Backshot means that the camera is directly behind the subject. This direction is often used to shoot the picture of the protagonist, which can blend the protagonist with the background. The things in the background are the objects that the main characters pay attention to. Back shooting does not pay attention to the expression of the characters, but pays great attention to the gestures of the characters to express their hearts, mainly the image language.

Frontal shooting

This means right, left or right. This direction is suitable for expressing distinctive characters or themes. First of all, it helps to highlight the positive contours and lines of the characters. When shooting the emotional communication between the main characters, we can vividly show the movements and expressions of two people.

Inclined shooting

This is what we usually call left front, right front, left back and right back. The characteristic of shooting in this direction is that the horizontal line of the subject becomes diagonal on the picture, which makes the object have obvious changes in perspective, and at the same time can expand the capacity of the picture and make the picture lively.

Secondly, talk about the shooting angle. It is the relative position of the camera and the main body on the vertical plane of the camera. Or the relative height between the camera and the subject when the shooting direction and distance are fixed. Because of the different relative heights, three different shooting angles are formed: flat, up and down.

Ping She:

That is, the camera and the subject shoot on the same horizontal line. At this time, the subject is not easy to deform, especially the scene of Ping She's character activities, which makes people feel more equal and cordial. When shooting natural scenery, it is very important to deal with the horizon. In order to emphasize the symmetry from top to bottom, we can put the horizon in the middle. But in general, it is necessary to avoid the situation that the horizon divides the picture equally, because in that case, the distant view and the close view will be compressed in the middle line, and the picture will appear unremarkable.

Upward photo

In this case, the camera shoots upward under the object. It is conducive to highlighting the tall momentum of the subject, and can fully expand the scene that grows upward like a tree on the screen. High-altitude photography close to the ground can also be used to exaggerate the movements of moving objects such as flying and jumping. It should be noted that people with fat faces should try not to pat people on the back like this.

Take a high angle/crane lens

That is, the camera shoots down above the subject. This angle is like looking at the distance, and the scenery from near to far can be completely spread out from bottom to top in the picture. It is beneficial to show the level, quantity and position of the scenery on the ground level, and can give people a vast and far-reaching feeling.

4. Pay attention to the change of depth of field of LCD. Usually good depth of field performance can make photos vivid. When we take pictures before pressing the shutter, we should always pay attention to the change of the depth of field of the picture displayed on the LCD. The specific choice should be determined according to everyone's different aesthetics. No matter which ambiguity we don't want, we should consider serving the subject.

5. Use a tripod as much as possible.

6, you can choose a variety of shooting themes. The macro photography we often see is generally about flowers, plants, insects and fish. Actually, we might as well try to film people. Macro photography suits some things.

7. Choose the focus. The most important thing in macro shooting is the choice of focus, which should focus on the part that can best express the characteristics of things and the most brilliant.
