Ten taboos for running outside.

(A) Shadow painting face

When taking pictures under a tree, we often ignore the shadow of the branches. It's not obvious at first glance, but when the photos are developed, the characters will become painted faces. When taking pictures, you should pay attention to avoiding shadows.

(2) The shadow of castration

When taking pictures at noon, there will often be a top light effect, and the figures have shadows on their foreheads, eyes, nose, lips and jaws. This kind of overhead light is not suitable for portraits, and it should be avoided as much as possible under normal circumstances. If you must take pictures, you can use a flash to assist or tilt your head slightly.

(3) barefoot portrait

Foot light is often caused by the flash from bottom to top or the strong reflection of bright objects such as water surface, which will distort the image of the characters, so it is not suitable for taking portraits and should be avoided as much as possible.

(4) Halo block

When shooting in strong sunlight or light, the lens is facing the light source. If you don't add a hood, strong light entering the lens will form a halo, resulting in fog resistance. So when shooting in strong sunlight, the lens must be covered with a hood.

(5) White spots on the body

There are bright white spots on people's body and face in the photo, which is caused by direct indoor natural light on people's body and face. This kind of direct sunlight and the part without direct sunlight form a very hanging contrast, and when the photos are developed, white spots that are extremely uncoordinated with people are formed. Therefore, when shooting portraits indoors, direct sunlight should be avoided.

(6) uneven light and shade

This is also caused by the uneven brightness of indoor natural light. When taking a photo, you should supplement the light in the dark part properly, or change the position of the person so that it faces the window, so that the light shines evenly, the brightness is greater, and the photo effect will be better.

(7) White spots on glasses

The white spots on the glasses are reflections on the glasses due to the direct use of the flash. When shooting, the person's face is slightly lower, and indirect flash method is used to flash sideways to avoid white spots on glasses.

(8) the shadow behind him

In indoor photography, the flash flashes directly at people from the camera position, which is easy to form a thick shadow. If people are far away from the wall and the flash is higher than the camera, the shadow can be eliminated or weakened. However, the effect of eliminating shadows will be better through indirect flashing of reflective umbrella, reflective plate or wall top.

(9) Projection interference

When many people are photographed with sidelight, careless handling can easily cause one person's shadow to be reflected on another person's face, which can be avoided if the position of the photographed person is changed or the shooting point is adjusted.

(10) red eye of people

When shooting a color portrait, if you flash directly at the dark subject with a flash, the pupil of the subject's eyes will be very wide at that time, which can be avoided by sideways or indirect flashing.

In addition, the treatment of light should follow the following points.

Guang Shun 1

The camera and the light source are in the same direction, facing the subject, so that the surface facing the lens can easily get enough light, which can make the subject clearer. According to different angles of light, fairing can be divided into front fairing and side fairing.

Forward light is the light that directly shines on the subject along the direction of the lens. If the light source and the camera are at the same height, all the parts facing the camera lens can receive light, so there is no shadow. The image taken by such light will reduce the contrast of the subject and lack the three-dimensional sense like a plan. Shooting in such light will often lead to unsatisfactory results, which will make the subject lose its original light and shade level. I won't give the picture here. Most of the photos illuminated by airborne flashlights are of this light.

Side light refers to the light from the left or right side of the camera to the subject. When shooting, side light is the ideal light for shooting with a single light source. In most cases, 25 ~ 45 side light is generally used for lighting, that is, the included angle formed by the connecting line between the camera and the subject and the connecting line between the light source and the subject is 25 ~ 45. At this time, the part of the subject facing the camera is illuminated, and partial projection appears. This can better express the facial expression and skin texture of the characters. It not only ensures the brightness of the subject, but also makes the contrast between light and dark appropriate and stereoscopic. Most of the "beautiful" photos in Taiwan Province photo studio were taken in this light.

2. Indirect explanation

The light source of side light is the light that shines on the subject from one side of the straight line formed by the camera and the subject. At this time, half of the front of the subject is illuminated by light, and the shadow is slender, the projection is obvious, and the three-dimensional sense is strong, which can show the grandeur of the building. However, due to the strong contrast between light and shade, it is not suitable for expressing the delicate texture of the subject. However, in many cases, this photometry can well express the texture of rough surfaces.

3. Ceiling, Ceiling and Ceiling

The top light usually describes the upper outline of a person or thing, which is isolated from the background. However, when the light shines on the subject from above, it will flatten the scene, lack of layering and poor color reproduction effect. This kind of lamp is seldom used. Especially in the photos of people who "visit here", the light at noon often causes extremely heavy shadows under the nose and under the bags under the eyes, which is very ugly, so it needs to appear on the surface. Of course, under special circumstances, the dome light is used well, and there are also successful examples.

The dome light is the most used of these three kinds of lights. In general lighting, when dealing with the main light, the light source is generally arranged slightly higher than the main body and forms an angle of 30 ~ 45 with the ground. This kind of light can not only make the front of the subject get enough light, but also have a three-dimensional effect, and the shadow formed will not be too obvious. However, this kind of lamp is rarely used alone, but it is mixed with other auxiliary lights in the studio, such as side lights, which will produce good results. Still don't give pictures, everyone takes out their wedding dresses, many of which are widely used, so I won't post my pictures to avoid trouble.

Yangon, also known as bottom light and foot light, is also a rare polishing method. Putting the light source under the main body and shining upward will have a creepy effect. It is usually used more in movies. Hard background light is often used to depict sinister and hateful characters. This is not a picture. Friends who want to see the effect can look up in the mirror with a flashlight at night to see the effect. Don't scare mm in this way! Immoral.

Backlight in photography is the most expressive light in my opinion, but it is also the most complicated and difficult to use.
