Introduction of Apple's Mobile Phone Photography Skills

The photography effect of iPhone device is good. As we all know, it takes special skills to take unique photos with the help of iPhone devices. These skills include: good creativity, good composition and so on. Perfect works of art may be displayed in an instant.

Let's talk about the skills of taking pictures with iPhone.

The concept of photography is familiar to everyone. If it is simply explained in one sentence, it can be understood that photography is to turn wonderful and fleeting ordinary things in life into immortal visual images. Nowadays, the improvement of smartphone shooting technology has largely replaced the role of some card machines, making the shooting process easier and more convenient to share on social media.

We need to clear our minds first.

1, learn to zoom with the device when taking pictures with your mobile phone.

Although there are also high-pixel cameras using PureView technology, including Nokia 808 and Nokia Lumia 1020, it must be said that the shooting effect of popular smartphones after zooming is not always good, including iPhone. So we can try to do this and learn to shoot zoom with iPhone, which can help you find the feeling quickly.

At present, the zoom of mobile phone only supports short distance, that is, "macro", which is usually between 10- 15cm. When we shoot macro with a mobile phone, the main objects displayed on the screen are usually blurred. We need to help your equipment! Hold out your finger and tap the object you want to shoot on the screen, and you will magically find that it becomes clear. One time is not necessarily successful, because the light or camera is too close to the main object, you can try again several times.

2. Mobile phone photography focuses on snapshots.

Although Apple's iPhone5s has 8 million pixels, like iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c, it actually improves the operating experience obviously. One of the hidden functions is to support the shooting of 10 photos per second, which is exactly a very important skill for taking photos on smart phones at present. What I want to say here is that in many cases, it is actually more important to capture a fleeting beauty. The photo can be taken later, but the wonderful moment is fleeting.

Very interesting snapshot

3, mobile phone photos are not restricted.

In fact, the proposal of this standard requires everyone to experience it more attentively. Different from traditional digital cameras, the biggest advantage of mobile phone photography lies in its arbitrariness. It is in this unconventional shooting that we can try more different shooting methods without being bound by the traditional shooting rules, and we can also find some interesting ideas. Then share it with friends or social blogs, I believe it will have different effects.

We can see a new world without changing our perspective.

We can also add some post-production.

First, composition

Whether a composition is excellent or not can often determine the success or failure of proof. So it is no exaggeration to say that composition is the central idea of proof. Looking at the current composition methods in photography, there are actually various methods. Bian Xiao personally used the rule of thirds. This method is actually to divide the photo into three sections in the horizontal and vertical directions, and these nine bisectors will form four intersections. (Some smartphones have this function. ) At this time, when shooting scenery or people, we can construct a map by pressing the scenery on the horizontal axis or the vertical axis, and the rule of trisection has become the best composition method used in the primary stage of mobile phone photography. Be careful not to put the main object in the center of the screen, that is, in the middle grid, which will make the picture very rigid.

Triangulation effect

Here, I also need to remind you that users can better understand the rule of three points by using the nine squares that come with the iPhone when shooting. The operation method is to click Settings → Photos and Cameras → Grid Open. Through the nine squares that appear on the mobile phone screen, you can achieve the desired composition effect more accurately, and you can form a habit when you are familiar with it in the future.

Here are a few composition methods that I think are easier to achieve at ordinary times. The first is symmetrical composition, which highlights the sense of symmetry of the main body of the picture as much as possible and increases the visual impact. Secondly, it is not necessary to put the subject in the center, which can ensure that the photo has a certain tension. The next thing you can try is shooting from the bottom up, which can make the scene have greater visual impact. Another good way is to leave the picture blank as much as possible, which will give you more space to think about what the picture wants to express.

Second, focus.

The so-called focusing concept is actually the process of changing the object distance and distance position through the camera focusing mechanism, so that the photographed object can be clearly imaged. Focusing is divided into three categories, namely manual focusing, automatic focusing and multiple focusing. Generally speaking, both mobile phone focusing and autofocus can be realized on smart phones. Back to the iPhone, the focusing process of the iPhone is very simple. We can focus manually by touching a point on the screen with our fingers. Different focus positions often lead to different contents, which leads to the next point we need to pay attention to, exposure.

Dare to shoot food at close range, never shoot from directly above.

Do a good job of matching before and after to increase the fullness of the picture.

Third, exposure

The simplicity of iPhone's shooting function also makes the exposure control automatic, but this exposure control is often global, and it is difficult to accurately grasp the shooting effect in some environments with large contrast between light and dark. This requires us to manually adjust the focal length to realize the adjustment of exposure. At this time, the picture of the iPhone viewfinder will alternate between light and dark according to different focus points until the user finds a satisfactory exposure value.

The exposure point is around the flame.

The exposure point is in the middle of the flame.

One trick is that when the whole picture is bright, we can focus on the brightest part of the area, so as to avoid local overexposure of the proofs. When the whole picture is dark, we can focus on the relatively bright points.
