Children's photography taboo

1. Direct sunlight: Bright sunshine provides good lighting conditions, which makes the scenery vivid and saturated with colors, and provides conditions for using high-speed shutters and small apertures. However, strong sunlight can also bring problems. The most prominent thing is that its dazzling light will open the eyes of the subject. At the same time, high-angle direct sunlight will also cause heavy facial shadows and skin wrinkles, which will damage the image beauty of the characters. So when taking pictures outdoors, let the sun shine on the subject from the side and avoid facing the sun directly.

Second, people are too close to the colored environment: under strong light, the reflection of objects will be enhanced. In this case, people should try to stay away from those bright and colorful scenery (such as newly painted building exterior walls, large awnings and so on). ), otherwise the colors of those scenes will be mapped to people, causing color cast.

Third, people stand on the ground and take pictures above the light: because the ground is flat and light in color, it will form a strong reflection. This bottom-up "light feet" will often cause adverse effects and should be avoided as much as possible.

Fourth, stand by the trees and take pictures: light and shadow complement each other. The stronger the light, the deeper the shadow. When people stand by and take pictures of a tree, sunlight often casts leaves on people's bodies and faces, causing mottled shadows, which is not conducive to the aesthetic feeling of the picture.
