Why can the studio take such good artistic photos, but I can't?

Can use PHOTOSHOP to beat a skill. Now, we all pay attention to exquisiteness and strive for perfection. When you are cured, we will see if the conditions are good when taking pictures. This field is the best.

Pay attention to correct exposure!

Pay attention to whether there is enough light. If you don't want to achieve special effects, try to avoid taking photos against the light, that is, let the light shine on the subject, and the photographer should stand in the direction where the light comes from. Portrait photography should use soft light sources, such as cloudy days or shadows. Select the appropriate aperture and shutter speed. The size of the aperture is expressed in numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture, the larger the aperture, and the more light enters the lens. Flash should be used in places with insufficient light, but pay attention to the effective distance of the flash. Generally, the effective range of flash is only three or four meters. So if you have to shoot in backlight, please use flash or reflector to illuminate the protagonist.

What exactly is reducing red eye?

As long as you have taken photos with a flash, there is no doubt that you must have been exposed to red eye, that is, people's pupils will turn into Liang Cheng red, which is caused by dilated pupils. In weak light, the pupil will be dilated, allowing light to refract to the retina and reflect back to the camera lens. The way to prevent red eye is to turn on the camera's anti-red eye flash. The pre-flash it provides narrows the pupil, so the second flash will not be refracted into the eyeball. In addition, when there is some light, the pupil will naturally contract, reducing the chance of red eye.

Please pay attention to the depth of field!

The so-called depth of field is the range that can still be clearly seen before and after the focal length is aimed at a certain point. The distance between aperture, lens and subject is an important factor affecting the depth of field. The larger the aperture, the smaller the depth of field, and the smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. The longer the focal length of the lens, the smaller the depth of field, and vice versa. The closer the subject is, the smaller the depth of field is, and the farther the subject is, the greater the depth of field is. Many people choose a small depth of field to highlight the subject. Of course, if you want to shoot the scenery, we would recommend choosing a large depth of field.

The pursuit of light

Many people who take pictures don't know that light has different atmospheres. The light changes with the time of day, with the change of season, climate and even regional environment. According to these changes, you can take various photos. When taking a photo, you can draw the light and take a good photo by observing how the subject is affected by the light.

Master the charm of color

Color affects the atmosphere of the whole photo. In the dark environment, the appearance of color brings Qi Chao, which makes the photos have the focus of attention. But if the color is not used properly, it may be counterproductive. For example, in a photo, if the area occupied by strong contrasting colors is too large, it will distract or take away the viewer's attention to the theme.

Shape the outline of the theme

Sometimes, just taking the outline of the theme will make the image more impactful. Contour is one of the keys for us to identify the subject. When the external details of a person or thing are removed or minimized, the outline will be clearer. Choose a flat background, such as the sky, and shoot the outline of the subject, so that the theme can be presented without interference. In addition, when the camera is close to the subject, complex contours can be simplified.

Create three-dimensional sense

When looking at some photos, do you have an impulse to touch the people or things in the photos? Why is this reaction caused? It is often because the oblique light is used when taking pictures, which enhances the effect of the three-dimensional space of the object and gives the original plane image a three-dimensional sense. Of course, this effect sounds like a lot of technical things, but in fact, it's just a technique of how to use up the light.

Emphasize the theme texture

In order to successfully present the texture of the appearance of the object in the photo through the camera, the key lies in whether it can convey the true feeling of touching the object. To convey the texture of an object, it is usually to shoot the camera close to the object or use a zoom lens with close-up function, but in this way, the lens can only accommodate part of the object. Therefore, photos with the local texture of the object as the subject are often visible, and in addition, some interesting information related to the theme texture can be added.

Discovery and Application of Themes

The expression of patterns can not only give a photo strength, but also express the meaning you want to convey. As long as you observe carefully, you will find that there are patterns in many landscapes. These patterns may be composed of repeated shapes or colors of objects, or they may be changes in light and shadow after sunlight penetrates the objects. Sometimes, an ordinary scene will still produce eye-catching patterns after partial framing.

Remember the creation of a sense of space

In order to make the plane image in the photo have a three-dimensional effect, visual effects can be used to achieve it. "Linear perspective" is one of the methods. The principle is that two parallel lines converge at one point through infinite extension and disappear; Another method is the "decreasing size method". The farther away an object is from us, the smaller it looks. In addition, "atmospheric perspective" is a very common method. The farther away an object is from us, the bluer it becomes. Through the application of these methods, the sense of distance of objects is produced, which shows the sense of space of images.

Camera rotation

All cameras can take straight or horizontal photos. Horizontal and horizontal pictures are sometimes called landscape vision, while vertical pictures are called portrait vision. However, this does not mean that they are only applicable to the framing of landscapes or portraits, and which direction to choose depends on the needs of the subject. Urban landscape is famous for its high-rise buildings, emphasizing towering structures, while natural landscape with broad vision should adopt horizontal pictures. If you are hesitant, you can look through the viewing window before pressing the shutter and decide which one to take.

Change the viewing position and angle.

The choice of lens position and angle will have a dramatic impact on a simple photo. Before pressing the shutter, try to move around the subject, and then observe the changes of the scene through the observation window when the camera moves left and right or back and forth. Tilting the lens up or down will also bring more interesting or unusual effects to scenes that usually look ordinary.

Shoot around the theme!

When you meet the scenery you have seen before, don't just shoot in the direction that you feel good for the first time. You should spend more time walking around it and see if you can find a more exciting or eye-catching angle. Sometimes, as long as you gently move the lens to the left or right, the foreground that originally blocked the line of sight will disappear and a bright picture may appear. Remember, be sure to check the composition from all angles through the viewing window, and you will get something.

Carry a spare battery with you.

I suggest that you must prepare a brand new battery pre-battery. Because each camera can take different photos under a brand-new battery. There is also your photo environment, which makes the number and frequency of flashing different, so it is best to prepare a new electric pan/tilt for standby at any time.

Try to keep the picture simple.

Sometimes, when you plan to omit something from a photo, it means that you have decided what should be included in the photo. Although this is not the golden rule, if a photo contains too many eye-catching things, the whole picture will look strange. Therefore, before pressing the shutter, be sure to ensure that everything you see in the viewfinder meets the requirements of picture composition. If not, then change the angle and make the whole picture simple.

Understand what visual guidance is.

A well-composed photo can easily draw the viewer's attention from a certain part of the picture to the theme. Therefore, when taking pictures, we should make good use of the characteristics and correlation of objects in the scene, arrange visual guidance, and attract the attention of viewers. Channels connecting different objects in the scene, or shapes caused by position changes between different objects, and even the characteristics of repeated colors and tones between objects are all good materials for making visual guidance.

The use of scene boxes makes you professional.

It is one of the skills of professional photographers to use the scenery in the photo to create another scene in the picture and improve the impact of the photo. Some people use ready-made porches or windows, while others use the placement of the model's hair or arms to make people notice the model's face and achieve the effect of scene frame. No matter how you design it, the ultimate goal is to set off the special part of the image.

Clever arrangement of subject position

It is quite difficult to determine the position of the subject. Especially when there are other scenes in the picture, the relationship between the scene and the subject must be considered. So, before you press the shutter, you have to take time out of the viewing window and pay attention to what scenery is behind the main body. Then through the change of camera position, choose the desired effect. Every time you adjust the position of the camera, the distance between the scene and the camera will change. Every time the distance changes, the image clarity of various scenes appearing behind the observation window will also change, which is the basis of your choice.

Challenge portrait

As we all know, the most basic principle of portrait shooting is to maintain the integrity of the characters. Never cut off a part of a character's head, or take a full-body photo and cut off his ankle. However, apart from this, few people will think about other issues, such as the relationship between characters and the environment, or whether characters look natural or comfortable. When you instruct the subject how to stand, such as how to sit, or what kind of relationship should be maintained with the background, you should be very clear about what kind of photos you want to express. This is the cognition that every subject must have, and it is also the most difficult to do. As long as the photographer is embarrassed or ignorant of the situation, he will immediately reflect on the subject and finally get a dull and boring photo. When you take a close-up of a person, whether it is just a close-up of the face or a close-up of the head above the chest, you need to pay special attention to this person's posture. For example, the tilt of the head, the direction of the eyes, and whether the composition of the whole face is firmly facing forward or a dynamic diagonal. These situations may be ignored when taking a half-length or full-length photo, but they cannot be ignored when taking a close-up. Usually you can take several photos of different poses at a time, and then choose the best one.

Dynamic composition

If all photographers want to freeze the fast-moving action into a picture, either use the sudden flash of the flash or use the high-speed shutter effect. These images are not completely clear, but these fuzzy feelings caused by camera motion or subject motion are the source of creating image dynamics.

Make good use of the flash of the camera

If the place where photos are taken is empty and dark, such as churches, museums and lecture halls, don't expect the hidden flash or the flash added to the camera to solve all the lighting problems, because the light they emit is too weak. So you should set the shooting theme in small details in the space, such as individual exhibits or architectural details. They are what your flash can take care of. Now, the photos shown here show that if you fully understand the flash, the flash is also a light source that can be used freely.

Although digital cameras are always advertised as simple to operate and easy to use, this does not mean that they can take good photos at will. In fact, whether it is a stupid camera, a manual camera, any kind of super camera that will scare people to death, or even today's digital camera, photographers still need to think with their brains. Because good images don't fall out of thin air, adding more professional concepts can really play the role of advanced equipment and take pictures that are not stupid. The following are martial arts cheats of several martial arts practitioners, to help you figure out what to do!

& gt the eleventh trick, think clearly before deleting photos.

& gt The twelfth trick is to back up the equipment once and for all.

& gt 13th trick, use LCD when shooting close-up.

The first move, pay attention to resolution and pixels.

This is the most important specification when purchasing digital cameras, and it is also one of the specifications that will definitely be marked. Usually, the multiplication result of the best image resolution will be slightly equal to the number of pixels of CCD. The higher the resolution, the higher the pixels, and the easier it is to capture beautiful pictures. Generally speaking, if you just want to enjoy photos, a digital camera with a resolution of 640× 480 (350,000 pixels) is enough. However, if you want to print the captured images on 5×7 photographic paper, you may wish to consider using the resolution of 1280× 1024 (more than 1.3 million pixels). As for the photos to be printed at 8 × 10, it is better to use the resolution of 2048× 1536 (more than 365438+ megapixels).

The second trick, no memory card, no singing!

Digital cameras use memory cards to store photos. Common specifications are SD, MMC, xD, MS and built-in memory. Each memory card has its own advantages and disadvantages, and its capacity is limited. And the model of expandable memory card will of course be the best choice!

Third, the lens affects the quality of photos.

When purchasing a digital camera, you should choose a camera with zoom (especially optical zoom) lens function, which will have greater flexibility when shooting. It is more convenient to enlarge the subject with a zoom lens or adjust the picture composition. Moreover, most digital cameras have two shooting modes: normal shooting mode and close-range shooting mode, and their shooting range is not necessarily. If you often need to shoot near objects, you should take the shooting range into account.

Fourth, be careful of the lack of electricity.

Digital cameras are very power-consuming products. When buying, you can refer to the manual attached to the camera, which usually describes what kind of battery you can use and how long you can use it. You should compare several phase machines and choose the one that consumes less power. In addition, if you choose a camera with AA battery No.3, it is recommended to use rechargeable Ni-Cd battery or Ni-MH battery, which is more economical. If you choose to buy a camera with a dedicated rechargeable battery, you should also consider the length of time available for one charge and decide whether to prepare an extra battery for backup.

The fifth trick is to think about it when shooting!

Generally speaking, there are two ways to view a digital camera. Use the traditional observation window and LCD screen. The advantage of the window is to save electricity, while the LCD can see the effect of the image to be shot at the same time. It's best to choose the model that contains both, which is more flexible to use.

The sixth measure is to check related accessories.

Whether the attached accessories are complete, such as USB interface for transmission, AC adapter, AA battery or special rechargeable battery, etc. It is also a factor that should be considered when buying a digital camera. In particular, the models purchased from Japan or the United States often do not include the power supply and camera holster, and must be purchased separately, so special attention should be paid.

Seventh mobile transmission interface

The fastest transmission speed of USB can reach 12 M bps, so it can reduce the download time of digital camera pictures; In addition, USB plug and play.

When you want to show your photos on TV or other audio-visual equipment, a digital camera with video output function can meet your needs. Because the image is output to the TV screen through the video transmission cable, you can watch photos on the TV. Of course, it would be better if there is a wide-screen or high-quality TV! When the video output signal is in a standard format, it can also be copied to the video tape. The video output specifications of digital cameras can be roughly divided into American standard NTSC, European standard PAL or French-Russian SECAM. The video output standard used in Taiwan Province Province is NTSC. In addition, it can also be transmitted with the memory card and transmission equipment used by each camera.

Don't forget the driver.

All our digital cameras have built-in drivers and application software. Some models can be used on both PC and Mac, but please note that it may not be fully applicable to all computers.

The tenth trick is to have the concept of planning ahead.

It is recommended that you bring a spare memory card and battery (at least one spare rechargeable battery! )。 Of course, more memory cards are just for emergencies, because we often can't download photos to the computer immediately, so don't forget to buy an SD card. Otherwise, when colorful pictures appear, you will go home with a grudge!

Eleventh move, think clearly before deleting photos.

If you don't think clearly, don't delete the photos on your camera, that is, don't make a move before copying them to the computer hard disk, or you will ruin your work. When you delete a photo from the SD card, please remember that it will disappear forever and the ship will pass without a trace!

The twelfth trick is to back up the equipment once and for all.

One of the great benefits of digital photography is to take pictures of what you need and delete those you don't want! However, photos that are not good-looking now may become precious images in 20 years (you never know! )。 So, buy a backup device so that you can keep your photos well. It is suggested to have a CD burner, which can store more than 1000 photos. Best of all, they are usually more durable than any other magnetic medium and are not afraid of water!

Thirteenth trick, use LCD when shooting close-up.

The close-up mode of a digital camera can help photographers shoot close-up objects without losing focus. However, cheap digital cameras rarely provide monocular reflection observation windows, allowing you to see objects through the same lens as your camera. A more common design is the linked observation window. You look at the scenery from one lens (optical observation window), and the camera looks at the scenery from another lens, that is, the original lens assembly. Although these lenses are all designed to cover the same point, when you zoom in or out, some differences will inevitably occur. These differences will be more obvious in close-ups, which is caused by a parallax phenomenon. So most optical observation windows are not trustworthy.

So strictly speaking, the accurate composition equipment should be LCD screen. When you turn it on, you can get real-time image relay from CCD. But you should be careful, LCD needs a lot of electricity, which will consume the battery quickly, and it is not easy to watch fast moving objects or direct sunlight. A set of standard rechargeable AA batteries can take 50 to 80 photos continuously when the LCD is turned on. By contrast, when the LCD monitor is off, you can take four times as many photos. Therefore, if you use LCD in close-ups, it is recommended to take a spare battery with you, or bring an extra set of fully charged batteries.
