Is it better to take pictures indoors or outdoors?

Indoor photography is a relatively technical photography method, because it involves the combination of light and shadow. If you can't adjust the light well, you won't be able to take high-quality photos. Therefore, the biggest problem facing indoor photography is the problem of light.

In most cases, the indoor light will be too dim. At this time, the flash is obviously a very effective artificial light source, with powerful functions and diverse uses, but you can also use the existing on-site effective light when shooting.

When shooting a large room, you can use multiple flashlights or open the shutter at different positions in the room-this method will be very difficult, especially without a photography assistant. When shooting, it is best to choose a camera with exposure time between 1/500 and 1 or 2 seconds, and at the same time, you can choose as many different aperture values as possible. The premise of these cameras is that you can shoot in a dark room and take very good photos.

When shooting in an environment with insufficient light or no disorder (such as where flash is prohibited), the only option is to increase the sensitivity, but this method will greatly affect the image quality. But this is the only way to avoid the image trance caused by jitter, especially when taking pictures at will or shooting moving subjects, you have to make a choice.

In addition, indoor photography should also pay attention to the rational use of window light.

When using window light to shoot portraits, light-colored rooms reflect more light than large and dark rooms, so the background is brighter. The intensity of reflected light and the tone of background can be adjusted by opening or closing curtains. In a word, windows are selective, unlike outdoor, where colors are generally balanced.

If there are windows on both walls and the main body is between the two windows, the cross lighting at this time will cause various interesting changes in light efficiency. As long as the subject is allowed to roll while shooting, a series of different changes will occur. At this point, we should pay attention to the idea of making the light of one window slightly brighter than that of the other window by adjusting, because the light of the two windows is equal, which is the worst.

The light coming in from the north-facing window is a directional but soft light, which can play an understatement role in the face of the character. This kind of lighting is especially suitable for color film and is used by many portrait photographers. It also depends on the reflective ability of indoor walls and floors. When the subject enters the dead corner of the window light, the reflected light on the wall begins to play a greater role. At this time, the closer the subject is to the wall facing the window, the more light there is.

In indoor photography, as long as the subject moves a few steps, the contrast between strong light and bright shadow will change greatly. Therefore, adjusting the interval can solve the problem of uneven illumination.

One disadvantage of indoor shooting is that the light is not ideal. In most cases, the indoor light will be too dim. At this time, the flash is obviously a very effective artificial light source, with powerful functions and diverse uses, but you can also use the existing on-site effective light when shooting.

The light of the built-in flash is often too weak and cold, and the images taken will destroy the atmosphere of the whole environment. Exposure index must be used when shooting at a distance of 3 meters.
