Photography Capture Skills-"Decisive Moment"

One of the characteristics of snapshots is speed. To put it bluntly, it is a word-grab.

You don't have to hold on to things that are still. If you use the word "grasp", you have to grasp the subject's expression, expression and action instantly. In the words of the master, it is a "decisive moment".

Then, in order to improve the success rate of snapshots, we should start from the following five aspects:

1, take the camera with you for 366 days (remember it is 366 days). You know, if you carry a camera 365 days a year, there is nothing to shoot. As a result, you didn't bring it on that leap day, but it was urgent! Wouldn't that be a loss?

2, speed first! Set the camera to shutter priority and try to improve the sensitivity. Let the sensitivity be at the best level of quality and speed.

3, continuous shooting or single shot? It turns out that we don't want to burn film. Now that we have digital ones, let's burn them! No matter how hard continuous shooting pressed the shutter, he had to burn for three or four times. As long as one of them catches the best "moment", it is enough. However, there are also arguments against it. The essence of snapshot is to press the shutter correctly and capture the decisive moment. The practice of "the king of shotguns" has no technical content, hehe.

4, as if nothing had happened, take a digital camera with a rotatable lens, but people can shoot things in the back when they are facing other places. If not, pretend to shoot something else and quickly turn to the object you actually need to shoot. Click.

5, telephoto, wide angle is appropriate, telephoto can facilitate you to capture in the distance so as not to disturb the subject. And wide focus can include everything you see and let you choose. Shooting with telephoto and wide angle, each has its own feeling.

Another feature of snapshot is that it should be natural and not interfere with the subject. The most natural and alive are the most valuable. Capturing is not posing, posing requires the subject to form a certain picture according to the photographer's thoughts and intentions, make some movements and expressions, and pose slowly. Snapping up is not something you can think of in advance. All you have to do is go out with your camera on your back and shoot whatever you see. Going deep into life is the soul and essence of snapshot.
