I heard that the photos you took were not clear enough. How to save them?

In the last issue, Composition Jun shared with you the special effects of mobile phone lens and added personalized filters to photos. What I want to share with you in this issue is the composition of light and shadow, which breaks through the problems of unclear and dark corners in mobile phone photos.

1. Top light shooting-vertical projection, showing the shape of the top.

The top light is the light directly above the main body, which can make the projection of the main body vertical to the bottom, thus highlighting the top shape of the main body.

The most common use scenario of overhead lights is that people shoot food with their mobile phones in restaurants. At this time, the light is basically directly above. As long as the brightness is appropriate, the color of the picture can be more saturated, the distribution of light and shadow can be more uniform, and the details of the picture can be richer, as shown in the figure.

2. Exposure compensation-adjust the exposure and control the brightness of the picture.

Although the automatic mode of mobile phone camera can meet most shooting needs, it is not suitable in some scenes with uneven brightness distribution. At this time, we can use the exposure compensation function to assist shooting.

As shown in the figure, set the interface of exposure compensation for Huawei Glory series mobile phone cameras.

If the user takes a picture with his mobile phone in a scene with a great contrast between light and dark, he can adjust the exposure compensation of the mobile phone camera to make the light, shadow and color of the picture more harmonious, as shown in the figure, with unadjusted exposure compensation effect and +2 exposure compensation effect respectively.

As the picture shows, these two photos were taken on a sunny street. The first picture was taken in the automatic mode of the mobile phone camera, and you can see that the street details are dark. At this time, the exposure compensation is appropriately increased in the mobile phone camera and re-shot. It is found that there is no obvious change in the brightness of the sky under normal exposure, while the underexposed street parts are basically close to the actual color, and the dark details are restored.

3, exposure control-how to get accurate picture exposure?

For mobile phone photography, the simplest exposure control method is to change the metering point. For example, after turning on the camera of the mobile phone, click on the bright area with your finger in the preview area, and the picture will be dimmed appropriately; If you click on a dark area, the picture will light up, as shown in the figure.

Of course, there are more advanced exposure adjustment methods, which need the support of mobile phone cameras. For example, Nokia Lumia930 has "automatic mode" and "professional mode", and users can precisely control the screen exposure by adjusting parameters such as ISO sensitivity, shutter time and exposure, as shown in the figure.

4, light painting photography-take pictures of tall people with mobile phones.

Many people think that light painting photography is a skill played by professional SLR photographers. Actually, a mobile phone can also be used. Of course, you need to prepare some photographic equipment and apps.

Photographic equipment: Use steel velvet with egg beater to generate sparks, or use flashlight or glow stick instead, which is mainly used to draw the movement track of light. In addition, you need a tripod to fix the phone. Of course, the most important thing is whether your mobile phone has the function of "professional light painting" and whether it has the function of professional shooting.

APP: If your mobile phone doesn't have those professional "professional light painting" shooting functions, you must download some apps to realize it, such as master light painting (pictured), slow shutter, night hat and so on.

After preparing the above materials, you just need to wait until nightfall, choose a suitable subject, then fix the mobile phone on the tripod and set the parameters of the mobile phone camera.

Mobile phones with "professional light painting" shooting function can use the preset mode. If you use other apps, you need to adjust the shutter speed to around 15s and the sensitivity to the lowest. At the same time, turn on the noise reduction function of the mobile phone, set the delay shooting or use the remote shutter to shoot.

After everything is ready, all you have to do is run into the shooting range of the mobile phone camera and paint with luminous objects. As the picture shows, the photo effect is drawn for the car.
