Analysis of iPhone Photography Skills (1)
If your photos are not well taken, it may be because your photos are too messy and concise, with no theme, poor composition and aesthetic feeling.
Hahaha, there is a big 13 on it. This is a teaching article, so we should be serious (knock on the blackboard, and the students below will take out their notebooks to take notes, and I will give you the key points).
First, let's take a look at the iPhone in our hands. The user interface follows Apple's consistent style (invisible 13, the most deadly), which is simple but practical and powerful.
Here are two pictures to illustrate.
? First of all, focus, touch any point in the camera frame (yes, it is really any point), and a small yellow frame will appear (why yellow, because yellow has the highest recognition, almost all colors can be displayed, and the human world doesn't use yellow very much. If it is green, you will be yellow. This is the focus box. Similar to human eyes, mobile phones rely on him to find what they want to see (mobile phone OS: I only have one eye). Long press (the phone doesn't hurt) will cause auto exposure/auto focus lock at a certain point, which will fix the focal length (this function will be very useful at night, which will be introduced in detail later, and the blockbuster at night depends on it).
The ratio of photos taken by mobile phone is 4:3 (I don't know why, ask me). In fact, I use 1: 1 and 16:9 (due to the preference of human eyes, 1: 1 is almost the most formal and serious ratio that human beings think. 16:9 for example, chestnuts, the curtain of the cinema is this ratio, so we go to see blockbusters, and the screen ratio contributes a lot), but as long as you take pictures, after all, it is the initial material (dislike that you are a novice, hahaha).
The filter is actually what you decorate when you take a selfie (I'm talking nonsense), but there are nine kinds of filters for iPhone, namely monochrome, hue, black and white, fading, no, no, no, printing, time and nostalgia. The first three are almost the same, they all make an issue of black and white, but there are still subtle differences. Monochrome and hue tend to be expressed in a single color, but monochrome is black and hue is gray; Black and white refers to the contrast between black and white (knock on the blackboard, here is dry goods). Fading is a slight peeling from the original color, similar to the divergent color of blue-black ink after raindrops (children's shoes without pens experience it themselves); Luo Huang, you can tell by the name that this product is yellow (yes), but it is obscene! Highlight! Bright and dazzling spicy eyes (thanks to grapefruit children's shoes, which brought me into the world of Luo Huang)! Printing, as the name implies, is the style of your home photos after printing, yes, yes, that's the feeling of old Kodak; Years, the feeling close to dusk, the old man's confused and dizzy vision (hahaha, please forgive me for describing it like this); Nostalgia is a style between nostalgia and the original picture. Just experience it yourself.
I finally introduced everything, what, and an HDR and flash. These two are not recommended (why, I exchange my kidney for my mobile phone, but you don't want it? ), first of all, HDR is hardly used for taking pictures. You have to believe in Apple's excellent algorithm and analysis ability (this is a belief). Secondly, the power of flashlight is very low, and people are afraid of being hit by it at night. If you tell me this, it will be bright white light, so it is better not to use it (hum, war slag). All right, that's all. Now let's get down to business.
Now it's time to start the boring sermon. I'll talk for the last two minutes.
1. Open the camera grid.
The built-in grid lines of the camera are one of the important tools to improve the composition level. When the grid line is turned on, the screen will be divided into nine equal small spaces by two horizontal and vertical lines. [Settings]-[Photos and cameras]-[Open camera grid]. Open the camera grid line, which is the basis for better use of skills. Be sure to turn on this function first (please go out and turn right for non-iPhone, XXX Hospital).
2. Follow the principle of one-third composition.
People's eyes always naturally fall on two-thirds of a picture (after all, the golden ratio is almost the same). Try to shoot the subject at the focus of the bisector of the picture, and the effect will be better than that of the center. Take chestnuts for example. When taking a landscape photo, use the trisection method and put the horizontal line in the trisection position, so that the photo will have the best visual experience. If the point of interest is the earth or the water surface, the horizon is generally located in the upper third. On the contrary, if the point of interest is the sky, the horizon can be placed in the lower third. In short, let the main part occupy most of the picture.
3. Follow the principle of diagonal composition
In a painting, the composition of a straight line is relatively flat, but the main body is inclined. If the theme is arranged on the diagonal, the three-dimensional sense, the sense of extension and the sense of movement will be reflected (hahaha, is it very tall). Using this composition method, the main body is usually placed directly on the diagonal, or the main body is placed on the diagonal by using the distance from near to far. This perspective can guide people's eyes to the end of the picture and increase the depth of the picture.
Try not to put the object in the center of the photo.
The most common thing in photography is to put the subject in the center, which will make the photo lack of three-dimensional sense and the subject is alone in the center. We should consider the whole shooting theme and put the subject at a certain distance from the center. But good use will also have super good results. For example, this principle is not suitable for architecture.
5. Symmetric series
Can be left and right, up and down, oblique symmetry, the most classic beauty of human beings is symmetrical beauty. Most people are asymmetrical, but beautiful people are generally very close to symmetry (ouch, don't hit me). It can be used to express the atmosphere of people or buildings.
6. Make full use of visual guide lines
A visual guide line is a line that guides our eyes to a specific position (the theme you express). Visual guide lines should avoid vertical or horizontal straight lines, but lead our eyes to the main central object. In practice, we often use tortuous roads and obvious footprints as visual guiding lines.
That's all for the composition. You can try it first.
I haven't decided what to say in the next issue, hahaha, it depends on the update.
