Nikon SLR photography skills

0 1, how to shake it?

Swing is a technique for shooting moving objects. Its characteristic is to focus on the static part of photography and follow the subject by shaking the lens to show its sense of speed. Using this shooting method, you need to set the camera to the shutter priority mode, and then use a slower shutter speed, generally 1/30s or 1/60s. The camera should follow the subject closely and move with it to achieve the effect of clear subject and blurred background. Of course, adopting continuous shooting's model has a greater chance to capture clearer photos.

02. How to place a tripod on a slope?

If you use a tripod to assist shooting on a slope, there are ways to keep the camera away from sudden danger. If we shoot on a rock or a slope on a mountain, let one leg of the tripod point to ourselves, so that the three legs of the tripod can stably support the camera and prevent it from falling.

03. How to avoid underexposure

Photographers are often underexposed when taking pictures, fearing that turning on the flash will be too bright and sacrifice the natural light of the scene environment. In this case, the best way is to use the exposure compensation function of the camera. As long as the exposure compensation function is pushed up one or two levels, the general darkening situation will be improved.

04. How to focus before composing?

First, focus the center of the picture on the face of the person to be photographed, half press the shutter button to complete the focusing and photometry procedures, press and hold the shutter button, and move the camera horizontally to re-compose.

05. What's the use of aperture priority?

Digital SLR cameras often have lenses with large aperture numbers. In automatic mode, camera programs tend to use a larger aperture to shorten the shutter time and reduce the bad shooting effect caused by vibration. However, the camera lens is usually reduced by about two levels from the maximum aperture to get the best image, so if you want to get a high-quality image, you can use the aperture priority automatic exposure to reduce the aperture from the maximum to a smaller one. In addition, a large aperture can achieve a small depth of field, which is conducive to highlighting the main body.

06, how to avoid glare

Direct sunlight will produce glare in the lens, which will seriously unbalance the contrast of the picture. At the same time, the incident light will be reflected by the lens surface to form a spot line on the CCD. A high-quality hood helps to limit glare, and using the smallest aperture can reduce these spots.

07. How to make the light star effect?

In order to make the light produce the effect of stars, photographers need to use a small aperture for exposure. The smaller the aperture, the more obvious the effect.

08. How to protect the camera?

In order to protect digital cameras and batteries, we should try not to use digital SLR cameras at too high or too low temperature, never expose our cameras directly to the sun for several hours, and avoid the lens facing the sun when shooting, so as not to damage the CCD board. If you must be exposed to the sun, you can cover the camera with a light towel or reflective material. Try to avoid shooting in rain and snow. If you want to shoot, you should do a good job of protection to avoid long-term low-temperature shooting and prevent the machine from aging. In the cold winter, machines that enter the room from the outside are prone to condensation, just like glasses worn by people. The correct way is to put it in a sealed plastic bag and take it out when the machine temperature is consistent with the indoor temperature. Be sure to take out the battery when saving after shooting. Store in a dry place to prevent the machine from getting wet.

09. How to optimize the picture quality?

The image format of digital SLR camera can be JPEG or RAW, which is very beneficial to post-production. In addition, the picture in RAW format will not be automatically adjusted by the camera, and the picture quality will be better. Of course, the photographer can adjust the details of the picture by setting saturation, contrast and sharpness to make the picture quality better.

10, what is door b?

B-door is a mode that allows you to be exposed for a long time. Its exposure time is from the time you press the shutter to the time you release it. In the process of using door B, it is best to use tripod and cable release.

1 1. What is the function of enclosed exposure compensation?

Take more than three photos with different exposures continuously to find the most suitable exposure.

12. What is a highlight warning?

When the shooting information is displayed, the overexposed areas in the image will flash. In order to obtain more image details of the overexposed area, the exposure compensation should be adjusted to the negative direction and then shot.

What is a polarizer?

The most commonly used and valuable filter can deepen the tone of the blue sky and eliminate glare and reflected light.

14, how to display the size of the subject?

It is difficult to directly judge the actual size of an object from photographic works. The vast sea may be just a horizontal line on the screen, while smaller objects, even objects invisible to the naked eye, can occupy a large area on the screen. At this time, it can be expressed by contrast. On the one hand, the actual size of the object can be known by comparison; On the other hand, we can express certain thoughts and feelings through exaggeration and deformation.

In order to truly show the size of the subject, it is necessary to have a companion as a reference in shooting. Generally speaking, people are familiar with and know the size of objects in daily life as comparison objects. This not only highlights the subject, but also makes the audience impressed by the actual size of the subject.

15, how to set the horizon?

Photographers should arrange the position of the horizon reasonably when shooting. Generally, when shooting grassland and other scenery, the horizon is arranged in one third of the picture. In addition, when shooting seascapes, the position of the horizon determines the meaning of the picture. If the horizon is in the lower third of the picture, it reflects the distance of the sea; If it is in the last third, it shows the broad feelings of going to sea.
