Basic photography skills

Taking good photos requires aesthetics, experience and luck, and you need to see the beautiful scenery before taking photos. Of course, experience and aesthetics need to be accumulated In the process of accumulation, don't forget the basis of photography, that is, photography technology. It is a pity to master both the pre-stage technology and the post-stage technology, or you don't know how to shoot a beautiful galaxy when you see it! Vagueness is my basic photography technique. Welcome everyone to have a look.

First, how is the blur effect of large aperture taken?

There is a recognized conclusion that the longer the focal length, the better the blur effect, and the larger the aperture, the better the blur effect. Generally, the lenses of entry-level SLR and micro-single lens are 18-55 or 16-50, the focal length is not long enough, and the aperture is generally F3.5 to F5.6, which is relatively small, and the lens blur effect of the camera cover is not obvious. This is why many people recommend novices to buy large aperture fixed focus lenses. It is very beautiful to shoot blurred portraits or blurred flowers and plants.

Canon, Nikon and Sony are all 50mm F 1.8 lenses, each with several hundred pieces. It is very cheap. Use the maximum aperture F 1.8 to shoot, so that the subject is close to the lens and the background is far from the lens, and the blur will be more obvious. Go and have a try!

Second, how to shoot colorful traffic?

How to shoot a bustling and colorful street?

First of all, you have to have a tripod, because if you want to shoot traffic, you have to be exposed for a long time. It is recommended to use M file, open the camera LCD screen, live view mode, and adjust the parameters until the picture is not exposed. Generally, we shoot traffic with ISO 100, and the aperture is between F8 and F 1 1. As for the exposure time, it is adjusted according to the ambient brightness.

Third, how to shoot the starry sky in the Milky Way?

Many people will confuse the orbit with the Milky Way, but they are actually two different things. The Milky Way refers to the milky white bright belt across the starry sky. The orbit of a star is to make the star into a line by taking advantage of the long-term continuous motion of the star.

Shooting the Milky Way, for entry-level SLR and micro-single users, the parameters of 16mm F3.5 iso3200 20s can definitely shoot the Milky Way, provided that there is little light pollution and there is no moon, it is best to see the Milky Way with the naked eye, so there is absolutely no problem in shooting.

Fourth, how to shoot the star mans effect?

Shooting a star is relatively simple, just use a small aperture, such as F22.

Most of us are talking about starlight at night, so can we shoot the sun and get the feeling of starlight? In fact, it is also possible. When the sun just rises from the mountain or emerges from the clouds, it can be photographed.

5. What is a swing?

When shooting a high-speed moving object, we let the lens move with the object, which will make the photo blurred except for the clear object, which is very interesting. Shutter priority exposure mode is generally used for shooting.

6. What is a stack?

We have seen the kind of photos with soft water mist, but we don't know how to take them. Some people will say that you can use subtracter, and it is really a good way to shoot with ND filter. But what if we don't reduce the mirror? Another way is to shoot with a stack.

Seven, sharpen! Sharpen! Sharpen!

This is really important ... of course, it's best to take a clear picture in advance!

However, what if the photos are not clear? Post sharpening by PS or LR software! The effect is very good.
