Eight shooting skills to improve your photography level

Eight shooting skills to improve your photography level

I. pat people

Shooting mode still portrait: aperture priority (AV file) dynamic portrait: shutter priority (TV file).

Parameter setting: portrait, small scene portrait with large aperture, large scene portrait with small aperture. Sensitivity should be as low as possible.

Composition center composition, three-point composition, jiugong composition.

Attention should be paid to the eyes of the subject as much as possible, and attention should be paid to the exposure of the subject's face.

2. Still life, flowers, fish and insects

Aperture priority in shooting mode, full manual mode (M file).

Parameter setting uses aperture above F/5.6, focal length above 50mm, and low sensitivity.

The composition is centered, and the composition of Jiugong.

Matters needing attention can be as close as possible to the subject, which can not only show the details of the subject, but also effectively blur the background. Exposure compensation can be appropriately selected according to the shooting situation.

Shoot the starry sky

Shooting mode Full manual mode (M-file).

The parameter setting is shot with a wide angle, and the wider the better; Focus manually, and then turn the focus ring of the lens to infinity; Shutter speed varies from tens of seconds to two hours; The ISO values of the aperture F 1.4 to F5.6ISO range from 100 to 10000 (sometimes high sensitivity is selected because of exposure requirements).

Composition, center composition.

Note: tripod and pay-off are necessary things, and it is impossible to shoot with a hand-held camera.

Fourth, shoot the night scene.

Shooting mode Full manual mode (M-file).

Parameter setting If you use a tripod, use a small aperture with low sensitivity; I usually reduce the sensitivity to ensure the image quality. The aperture is set to f8-f 1 1, and the long exposure shutter speed is set to 5- 15 seconds. Take one first and adjust it according to the situation.

Composition, composition, symmetrical composition.

Precautions If you don't use a tripod, pay attention to the safety shutter. Stepping on the spot in advance is more conducive to shooting.

V. Portrait at night

Shooting modes: aperture priority mode (AV file) and full manual mode (M file).

The biggest test of parameter setting night shooting is that the shutter speed slows down because of the small amount of light entering. There are three ways to solve this problem: opening the aperture, increasing the sensitivity, and manually increasing the amount of light entering. Increasing sensitivity is the easiest way, but high sensitivity will increase the noise of photos and reduce the picture effect. It is recommended to open the night scene shooting to ISO400~800, and it is generally not recommended to open it to ISO2000 or above. Then shoot with a big aperture.

Composition center composition, nine squares composition, foreground composition.

Note: you can manually increase the amount of light when shooting portraits at night. The general method is to use flash, hand-held LED and external lighting.

The intransitive verb sunrise/sunset

Shooting modes: aperture priority mode (AV file) and full manual mode (M file).

Parameter settings I usually shoot sunrise/sunset with a small aperture, and the aperture is adjusted between f/8 and f/ 16. The sensitivity is 50-200, the lowest sensitivity. Shutter speed is uncertain and needs to be adjusted according to the change of light.

Composition, three-point composition.

Note To prevent glare, it is recommended that you use a hood. If you can use a tripod, try to shoot with it. When metering, you can measure the light above sunset, and increase the exposure compensation of 1- 1.5EV, and the shooting effect will be better.

Seven, shoot slow door works

The shooting mode is full manual (M).

Parameter setting: First set ISO to 200, then set the aperture between f8 and f 14, and finally start shooting. If necessary, a reflector will be added before shooting. Observe the histogram of each shot, and when I think it is ok, use it as the basic exposure to calculate the shutter speed required by the nd filter I use.

Composition foreground composition, trisection composition, vertical composition.

Note: tripod and cable release is necessary, because it is a long exposure shooting, and the picture will become blurred with a little shaking. Slow-door shooting requires a filter, and neodymium and GND are necessary.

Eight, shooting in rainy days

Shooting mode shutter priority mode (TV file), full manual mode (M file).

The parameters are set with a large aperture, and the shutter speed is about1/60s, so you can shoot rain bars that have not yet landed. When the shutter speed is1100 second, the shot rain bar will be very short; Shutter speed 1/20 seconds, the rain belt will be very long.

Composition vertical composition, horizontal composition.

Note: if you want to shoot raindrops, which solidify during falling, you should shoot them with a high-speed shutter. Personally, I suggest you use a telephoto lens of 200mm or more and shoot with a high-speed shutter.
