Simple 10 tricks teach you how to take good photos.

1. Keep your camera at all times.

There are many beautiful things that only appear once in a lifetime, but the picture always appears when we don't have a camera in our hands. In order to be able to take these priceless photos, as a photographer, you must hold a camera that can take pictures anytime and anywhere. If your professional camera is too big to carry, I recommend you to buy a compact camera to shoot. Or record your life anytime, anywhere. Bian Xiao believes that an ordinary photo taken in an instant is far more valuable than a color photo that has been arranged for a long time.

2. The combination of motion and static is a good film.

When you capture the moment, you can use static braking to make your photo dynamic. Let her try all kinds of actions when shooting portraits. Remember not to keep your model in a posture. In this case, it can effectively avoid the rigidity of the characters in the picture, and it can keep your model with a natural expression at all times.

3, you can try a large aperture.

Generally speaking, the closer your lens is to the object, the better the photos you take. Because close range can eliminate the distracting background, make the theme stand out and get a clearer image. However, using a large aperture is also a personal hobby. Nowadays, many DCs can shoot at close range, which is convenient for us to shoot pictures with prominent themes.

4. The background is better to be simple.

When the camera or the situation at that time did not allow, we could only shoot from a distance. In this case, try to use content with relatively simple color and structure as the background. This will also highlight the theme of your picture.

5. Keep the subject of the photo away from the center of the composition.

Although putting the protagonist in the center of the composition is a very correct way to highlight the theme, properly making the theme of the image off the center can increase the interest of the picture, and this unconventional method can attract most people's attention.

6. Place the foreground objects in the landscape photos.

When we shoot distant objects, it is best to include near objects (such as the four corners of the picture) in the picture. This can highlight the sense of distance and increase the depth of the picture.

7. Find the most suitable light source

Light is very important for the exposure of CCD. A perfect light source can make your photos look rich in color and depth, and beautify the objects you shoot. Strong sunlight is just one of many light sources. For the photographer, cloudy and gloomy weather is the best, because in this weather, the light is soft and the face is very good. The portrait taken on a sunny day is very sharp and will produce shadows.

8. Hold your camera tight.

To take clear and sharp photos, your camera must be very stable. In order to achieve this effect, when you press the shutter, you should press it gently at a uniform speed, not too fast, otherwise it will affect the stability of the handheld camera. You can hang a belt to form a triangular support to keep the camera stable. Of course, it's best to use a tripod.

9. Use the flash correctly.

If we can make full use of flash, we can greatly improve the imaging effect of photos. Especially indoors. The flash of every camera has its range of action. When shooting, put the object in the range of the flash. Generally speaking, the effective range of flash lamp is within 4~ 12 feet. Not only indoors, but also outdoors, the flash can also play a role. It can dilute the shadow produced by sunlight and make the color bright.

10, use the correct sensitivity and white balance.

Everyone knows that different ISO values correspond to different light. generally speaking

ISO 200: cloudy and cold weather

ISO 400: indoors, at night

However, due to the particularity of DC, noise will be generated under the condition of high ISO value. Therefore, if possible, try to use low ISO values.
