Shooting skills of digital camera

With the development of science and technology, digital camera (DC) is no longer a rare electronic product. Many users report that the photos taken by digital cameras are dim, lack of vitality, much noise, depth of scenery, color cast and so on. But photography is a bridge between the soul and the light, and it is not easy to master the traditional shooting skills. Now I'll introduce you to the shooting skills of digital cameras, hoping to help you. Welcome to read!

Digital camera shooting skills make good use of shooting mode. A "fool" camera has the advantages of a fool camera. Manufacturers usually preset some modes on the camera, such as people, scenery, sports, night scenes and so on. Each mode has different parameters such as aperture and shutter. Without knowing the basic parameters of the camera, these modes can help users improve the shooting speed and level. After all, it is impossible to let the "leader" stand there waiting for you to adjust the parameters. At the same time, users had better know some basic usage methods of the camera, including the differences and usage of several modes (aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, automatic, scenery, people, night scene, etc.). ), as well as the adjustment of the focus metering point. When many people use the automatic mode, the person they shoot is always blurred, because the focus is randomly selected by the camera. When the brightness of other objects (such as background) is higher than that of people, the camera will focus on that object and measure the light, resulting in the subject-people becoming a foil.

Compared with film machine, playback is one of the strongest functions of digital camera. I managed to squeeze into a scenic spot and grab a shooting position. If you come home and find that your girlfriend in the photo has closed her eyes, or a strong man broke into the camera, you have to think about how to "pass the customs" in the next few days. If you play it back immediately when shooting, and enlarge it appropriately to see if your girlfriend's posture and expression are appropriate, you can avoid the above tragedy. However, it needs to be reminded that playing consumes a lot of power. In order to avoid a bigger tragedy, please prepare more batteries.

Take more pictures. Even with playback, there are omissions. For safety reasons, it is best to take two more pictures of each scene. Anyway, memory cards are getting cheaper and cheaper, so we should give full play to the advantages of digital.

It is best to choose the largest picture format. Some friends think that only pictures are put on the Internet, and no pictures with high pixels are used, or some people think that pictures with medium format can be developed, so in order to save memory cards, a smaller picture format is used. This is a misunderstanding. The larger the capacity of a picture, the more information it contains, and the larger the processing space. Similarly, if the image is compressed to 800x600, the compression effect of a large-capacity image is much better than that of a small-capacity image. And memory cards are not expensive.

During the tourist season, most people have a deep memory of the "head" scenery of popular attractions. Taking pictures in front of scenic spots, how to keep "others" only in memory, not on the memory card? Keep the camera close to your protagonist, exclude irrelevant people, and use the wide angle of the camera to "contain" the scenery behind. Remember to use playback after shooting to see if you are satisfied. If this doesn't work, please use your smile and politeness to ask others to cooperate.

Matters needing attention in wide-angle use. I talked about shooting with a wide angle when there are many people, but we should also pay attention to some characteristics of wide angle. Generally, don't put your face in the center of the lens, otherwise, because of wide-angle deformation, MM's upturned nose will become a "dog" nose. When shooting, you may wish to change several composition methods, take more pictures, and finally pick out only the good ones. On the other hand, you can also deliberately use the wide-angle deformation effect to make MM or others put their faces close to the camera to shoot, or at the same time, you can make some funny expressions, which will be very personal. But if you find that the shooting fails, find a helmet to wear or destroy the body.

How to make the background empty? Many people feel beautiful when they see photos with blurred backgrounds and prominent people, thinking that only expensive cameras can shoot this effect. In fact, you can also take this effect with your stupid digital camera to make your MM happy. The principle is also very simple. Find a place with a relatively empty background, where MM (or other subjects) is as far away from the scenery behind as possible, and you are closer to MM, and then adjust the aperture of the camera to the maximum (minimum). At this time, it is easier to take photos with blurred background. How to turn the aperture to the maximum? You can try the built-in character mode, or refer to "Manual Shift Operation" later.

Manual gear. In the era of film machine, the parameters such as metering, shutter and aperture are too complicated. , leading ordinary people to rely heavily on fool settings, wasting film is small, wasting precious tourism and expressions more precious than tourism are big. But in the digital age, there is instant playback and almost free memory. Why not try manual transmission? Adjust the shutter and aperture according to the playback effect, and then shoot, even if there is no peripheral exposure. With the manual gear, you can try more shooting effects.

MM posture. Wide-angle shooting and fuzzy background shooting have higher requirements for MM's expressive force. Everyone used to like "yeah", but if we still use this trick now, we must stop it gently and resolutely. In this era of advocating individuality, of course, we should use the attitude of individuality. How to design your own personality depends on yourself, but there are some basic principles for reference. The overall posture of MM should be curved or broken as much as possible, not straight, such as the bending of arms and hips. Sister Furong is an excellent performer of this curve, although the effect is worse than that of a straight line.

When shooting people at noon, you should pay attention to avoid the light spots on your face. At noon, MM likes to take pictures in the shade. At this time, it depends on whether there is a beam of sunshine nailed to MM's face or even nose through the leaves like paparazzi. This kind of light spot must be avoided, otherwise others will think that MM has a super worm in her stomach.

At the same time, when shooting at noon, it is easy to have a shadow under the nose. If you want to shoot like captain pig head, you can use it, otherwise you can advance or postpone the shooting time, or put your white clothes under MM's head to make a simple reflector, provided that you don't run out.

Group photo If a group of people go out to play, D 10 can try to get rid of the group photo mode. Choose a place with a gap, such as a hillside or stairs. Everyone will spread out slightly, or stand, or sit, or lie down, with different expressions. Imagine what the eighteen arhats will do when they take a group photo.

Mastering some basic composition principles can effectively improve the shooting level:

A. the one-third principle. It is a general, safe and moderate principle that the person or thing to be photographed is placed in one third of the picture (away from the picture boundary). You can try other methods after you are proficient in shooting.

B. take headshots, busts, etc. Still don't take pictures of the whole person. Remember not to separate from human joints, such as neck, waist, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle, otherwise it will become an evidence photo of a bloody case.

C. When shooting a character, if you can let the character "stab" the sea or mountain behind you, it will make the picture more stereoscopic.

D. When shooting scenery, be careful not to bite off more than one can chew. In some places, the mountains, water and weather are all good, and everyone wants to show them all in one photo, but such a photo will give people a sense of disorder. If it is simplified, you can only shoot one scene at a time, which not only highlights the theme, but also takes more photos. Can you paste more water?

E. the choice of heaven and earth (water). The earth is clear, the sea is blue and the sky is blue. I want to shoot both. The general practice is to put the horizon in the middle or one third. You can try to put the ground (water) surface in the upper and lower quarter or not, and compare the effect. Memory space is free anyway.

F Generally speaking, when shooting scenery, the ground (water) surface must be flat, otherwise it will make people uncomfortable. Of course, this is not an absolute rule. In character shooting, if you want to take some dynamic photos, you must deliberately tilt the horizon.

G. use of lines. In the wild and in cities, there are always many lines, such as trees, telephone poles, roads, buildings, rivers, walls and fences. These lines can be placed diagonally or used to create a perspective effect.

Take a small picture. Most people like to shoot mountains, seas, blue sky or pavilions, which is relatively atmospheric, but it is definitely not the whole process of tourism. These seemingly ordinary things are a wild flower, a small tree, a wooden door and bamboo chair of a hotel, a handle of a temple, a candle, a window sill of a residential building and an eaves. Besides mountains and seas, try to have fun during the trip.

Playback process. Similar to the small scene in front, the whole process of playing is also worth shooting. Getting on the bus, playing cards and looking for a hotel are all part of life. Many times, going to see the snow-capped mountains is just an excuse. What kind of people are the most important. As long as you are with the most important people in your life, there are snow-capped mountains and the sea everywhere.

Local humanities. A place, in addition to the scenery, local people and their lives are also one of the contents we observe and photograph. See how they are different from us, how to show this difference through the lens, and think about why there are these differences. Maybe this trip will bring you more gains.

Multi-angle shooting. Most people are used to shooting standing, with a single posture and a common perspective. You can try to squat or even lie down to shoot, and the characters and scenery may be taller, slender or spectacular. Especially when shooting MM, if the camera is higher than the chest, the long-legged MM will also become Wu Dalang due to the perspective effect. Please know how to deal with this situation (if you forget, please review Article 6). Of course, shooting from a height is not exclusive. If you want to deliberately highlight the "big head", especially if you have some childish, bad or funny expressions on your face.

Post processing. Taking photos in China, unless the sun is shining and the air is fresh, the photos taken will always feel a little gray, so many people especially like to use photoshop for post-processing. However, considering that I only take pictures with a stupid digital camera, there is no need to learn more complicated photoshop. If someone learns photoshop just to process photos, I suggest that it is better to use this energy to learn the functions of cameras and the basic knowledge of photography. There are many useful image processing software on the Internet, such as the Magic Hand of Light and Shadow, which can fully meet most of the needs of photographers.

Shoot with emotion. This is the highest level of photography, and I just know the secret but I don't know how to start. When listening to Siss, you should think about how to express your feelings through pictures, such as shooting two clips. As far as shooting itself is concerned, many people like to put them in front of each other, so that the reality is real. But if you shoot "two pieces in love" emotionally, it's best to put them on the same plane. Such profound martial arts depend on our own understanding.
