How does Nikon d700 take group photos with 2470 lens?

Pay attention to several aspects when taking a group photo:

(1) Layout requirements for people's collective photography: The layout should be neat and the faces should not overlap each other.

1. Confirmed number: generally 40 people in 3 rows; 4 rows of 50 people; 60 people in 5 rows; 100 people are in row 6 or 7.

2. Precautions in arrangement: (1) cross arrangement; (2) The positions of the main characters are generally arranged in the middle of the front row. If possible, properly adjust the positions of the main characters' left and right adjacent characters to make the composition ideal; (3) In the arrangement of characters, except for the first exclusion, other rows generally put the tall ones in the middle and the short ones on both sides; (4) The interval between front and back should be close, and the lines should be close, otherwise perspective deformation will occur, which will affect the clarity.

(B) the choice of light

1, choice of light quality: under outdoor natural light, it is ideal to use thin clouds and scattered light with certain directionality to block sunlight; Attention should be paid to the selection of light level under direct light.

2. Selection of light level: Under the natural light with thin clouds blocking the sun, front light and smooth light are generally used; In direct sunlight, front lighting is generally selected.

(3) Background selection

Generally choose a single, representative and distinctive background.

(4) camera setting: the focal length is generally about 50mm (composition, moving back and forth to accommodate everyone); Generally, the aperture priority mode is used, and the aperture is about F8- 1 1. Central key metering for metering; Focusing adopts single-point focusing mode to focus on the central figure in the middle row. In order to ensure the effect, it is best to use a tripod.
