Skills of using flash lamp

The use of flash is too big for my baby. Can I take photos with flash?

I hope I can help you ~ ~ * * take pictures of your baby carefully with the flash.

The baby's eyeball is immature and tender. Because of this, it can't stand the strong light of electronic flash. This strong light has too strong an effect on the retina. If the distance is within 1 m, the damage to the baby's eyeball will be even greater. As everyone knows, this will inadvertently bring pain to children.

Experts warn young parents and movie friends that when taking pictures of babies under half a year old, they should use flash carefully and use natural light as much as possible; If you use it, you can change the illumination angle of the flash, shoot from the ceiling or side wall, or shoot with a slow shutter and a large aperture, and you can also get ideal baby photos. Of course, parents and movie friends who used to shoot their babies with flashlights don't have to worry, don't be too nervous, just pay attention in the future.

What should I pay attention to when taking pictures of my baby? Let me post a post for you ~ ~ ~ Basic knowledge of children's family photography 1. Basic knowledge and equipment preparation 1. Basic knowledge that children need to know Before taking pictures of children, we need to know some basic knowledge of photography. Of course, most friends who read this article must have some basic knowledge of photography, such as how to determine the correct exposure and reasonable composition. I don't need to say more. However, I still want to emphasize some photography skills that have a lot to do with photographing children.

The first is the influence of aperture and shutter on the shooting effect. For example, a large aperture can make the depth of field shallow, and a high shutter speed can "freeze" the motion. Secondly, the reasonable use and control of flash, we should understand the role of different flash settings such as forced flash and slow flash synchronization, and when we need to use flash to shoot and when we must not use it.

In addition, there are applications of manual white balance, manual focusing and hyperfocal distance. For the details of these basic knowledge of photography, you can refer to the previous articles or other photography books in this journal, and the following articles will also give you some explanations with specific examples.

2, ready to shoot children's equipment. "If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first." To take pictures of children, you must first have a camera. Nowadays, most families in the city have traditional cameras. Compared with traditional cameras, digital cameras are very suitable for children's photography because of their very low shooting cost and the characteristics of "watching while shooting".

Let's talk briefly about what kind of digital camera we should choose to take pictures of our children. If you have enough money and heat, SLR digital camera is of course the best choice. In the lens configuration, we should fully consider the conversion factor of the focal length of the SLR digital camera, and the large aperture pan/tilt (installed on the SLR digital camera, it will become a standard medium focus portrait pan/tilt) and ultra-wide angle zoom pan/tilt should be suitable for most shooting needs.

Of course, most friends will still choose consumer digital camera products. When shooting children, it is recommended that you buy quasi-professional products with strong manual function and large lens aperture and zoom ratio. Time lag and continuous shooting performance are also very important parameters, such as Fuji S602, Sony F7 17, Olympus C730, Minolta D7H, Panasonic FZ 1, etc., all of which are cost-effective products and are very suitable for children's photography. Of course, to take good pictures of children, the choice of equipment is only one aspect, and the human factor is decisive. I also took many interesting pictures of children using Kedak2 15 and Sanyo MZ2 pocket machine. Don't be greedy for novelty, as long as you are careful, even a thousand yuan product can take good pictures of children.

-I'll give you a practical demonstration in graphic form.

1. Of course, BB was not taken in the mother's belly, but the mother's big belly. When the baby grows up, it is very meaningful to see the "photo" with his mother before birth. If you have acquaintances in the hospital, you can leave a color B-ultrasound image of the baby in the mother's stomach, which is absolutely memorable.

2. Babies in hospital delivery rooms are generally ugly when they are born, but they are very memorable. Be sure to pay attention to the "birth certificate" on the baby.

The lighting conditions in the hospital are not very good, but the baby's eyes are fragile. Be careful not to take pictures of the baby with a flash. The high sensitivity and large aperture of the camera will play a great role in low light.

Before the full moon, the baby stays in the crib at home most of the time. The shooting conditions will be better than when he was in hospital. Generally speaking, he shoots at noon when the light is best. You can move BB's crib to the window so as not to cause the shutter to be too slow. Little BB sleeps a lot every day before the full moon. I usually ignore you when I take pictures, but sometimes I laugh when I sleep.

This time is certainly a picture that BB can't miss. In the next month, it is essential to take photos with my parents, brother, sister and grandparents.

After the full moon six months ago, the child changed a lot. Seeing this, I secretly admire my wife, who can magically sit up by herself. This period will be very hard for a father, his wife has not recovered and there are children at home. In the cold night, when you are busy making milk, changing diapers and singing lullabies, don't forget to pick up your camera, take pictures of your baby, observe their ever-changing expressions and movements, share the joy of growing up, and leave a once-in-a-lifetime growth record.

5. After the child is one and a half years old, outdoor activities increase obviously. Don't forget to take photos of parents and children traveling. When the weather is good, going out for a walk and basking in the sun can increase resistance and absorb vitamin D. When taking pictures outdoors, it is best not to let the baby and mother face the sun directly. You can use side light, backlight or backlight, and then fill the light with a flash to take a photo with a shiny background and a natural expression.

Another biggest change of children in this period is that they are toddlers. 6. Children aged 65,438+0 ~ 3 years before the age of 3 are the most interested subjects. This baby, who is growing every day, is beginning to understand some "personnel" gradually, but it is very naive. We can take photos with toys and animals at will. Children spend more and more time outdoors, which makes it easier for us to master the light and compose pictures skillfully.

Shooting during this period.

The use of baby photos and flashlights

The photo studio will take pictures with a flash, but it is different from the flash of our own camera.

Their camera doesn't have a flash, but there will be two or three headlights at a certain angle, that is, the kind with a bracket inside and outside like a layer of cloth, which can stand on the ground (non-professionals can only make this extremely unprofessional description, sweat ~). These lights are connected to the shutter of the camera. When the shutter is pressed, the light will flash.

It feels bright, but not as dazzling as the flash of the camera. It won't leave a bright spot before you look, it will disappear for a long time. However, children will still feel the change of brightness.

When Doudou was two months old, he asked the studio to take photos at home. When the lights are flashing, she will close her eyes. Personally, professional photo studios, especially those specializing in children's photography, will consider these aspects.

So on the whole, the problem is not big. Many children have taken pictures of the full moon. Pay attention to your suggestions and choose a better studio.

Can I use a flash to take pictures of my baby?

As for the flash, my professional experience is/kloc-don't use the flash before 0/00 days, and use the natural light in front of the window to shoot more.

The following question is how to use the flash reasonably: 1, and use the flash in bright ambient light as much as possible. Adults will find the flash dazzling in dark environment, let alone babies ~ ~ ~ But under the same flash intensity, in bright environment during the day, there will be no dazzling discomfort, because under ambient light, our pupils have been narrowed to a certain extent, reducing the light entering the retina, and at this time, the light intensity emitted by the flash is not too different from the ambient light, so we only need to adjust our pupils slightly, unlike in dark environment, which requires great adjustment.

2. Don't flash directly. The flash mentioned by the landlord should be the flash on the camera. When shooting, put a piece of white paper towel or white cloth in front of the flash, which can make the light much softer and less corresponding to the eyes.

In addition, other external flashlights generally use soft boxes or reflection to soften the light of the flash, which is also relatively soft to the eyes. Using the above method, you don't have to worry too much about the harm of the flash to your baby.

From the limited information I have learned, there is no medical report about the damage of flash to baby's vision. From one aspect, I hope medical experts will continue to give me advice and supplements. ) Know the function of your camera and learn more about photography, such as composition (you can get the basic knowledge of photography on the photography website). Before pressing the shutter, you should ask yourself three questions: 1. What is the theme of this photo? 2. How can we focus on the subject and attract the attention of the viewer? 3. Is the picture concise? Does it only include things that are conducive to attracting the attention of the subject? Have you removed the unnecessary content that distracts you? Make sure these three elements before shooting, or think again.

A well-thought-out photo must have a greater chance of success than a casual photo. When you form this habit, you will think more before shooting, react faster and take good photos more easily.

I hope it will help the landlord.

Does the flash used for baby photography have any effect?

Too strong light will damage your baby's retina and affect your vision, so avoid taking pictures of your baby with a flash.

One thing you must pay attention to when taking pictures of your baby is the use of flash. From a medical point of view, the baby's visual nervous system is not fully developed from birth to three years old, and strong light will have a negative impact on the development of the eye disease system. Therefore, when shooting, try to avoid using flash, and it is best to shoot with natural light. Some stupid automatic cameras will automatically activate the flash when the light is poor, so be sure to pay attention.

Older children can shoot with a flash when necessary, but it is also best to fill the light with reflection or add a soft light in front of the flash. The baby's eyeball is immature and tender. Because of this, it can't stand the strong light of electronic flash. This strong light has too strong an effect on the retina. If the distance is within 1 m, the damage to the baby's eyeball will be even greater.

As everyone knows, this will inadvertently bring pain to children. Warn young parents and movie friends that when taking pictures of babies under half a year old, they should use flash carefully and try to use natural light; If you use it, you can change the illumination angle of the flash, shoot from the ceiling or side wall, or shoot with a slow shutter and a large aperture, and you can also get ideal baby photos.

Of course, parents and movie friends who used to shoot their babies with flashlights don't have to worry, don't be too nervous, just pay attention in the future.
