Mobile phone camera angle skills

How to take pictures to look good?

Nowadays, with the proliferation of smart phones, many people are caught in selfies. How to take good photos has become a problem for everyone to consider. In fact, many good photos are brain waves from the brain, which can give full play to the imagination and be skillfully integrated through various functions.

So, how to grasp the angle of taking pictures?

What kind of photos are good? What are the main points of taking pictures?

Photography is called photography. Generally speaking, we can't reach that standard, so we can learn some simple skills and greatly improve our image.

The key points of taking photos are: angle+light+expression and action = beautiful photos.

How to grasp the camera angle? What is the best angle for taking pictures?

The angle of taking pictures is very important, and the effect of taking pictures from different angles is different, such as the front and side, and the effect is completely different from that of taking pictures from above and from below. I suggest you take a picture from the side at 45 degrees. Of course, you can constantly change your angle and seek an ideal position. (The angle is mainly the defect caused by modifying the face shape)

How to choose light? How to take pictures with light?

There are two kinds of light when taking pictures: bright light shows our advantages, and dark light covers our shortcomings, so that the photo effect is better. For example, if our skin is dark, we should brighten it with strong light. If there are spots on one side of our face, we should cover it with dark light. Light is mainly to show our advantages and cover up our shortcomings.

What kind of expressions and actions are the best photos?

When taking a photo, the expression is an important symbol to control the feeling of the photo. Some details can beautify yourself, and at the same time, dressing appropriately and showing the beauty of the body will play a very good role. For example, when girls smile, they are more charming than smiling, their body movements are better than standing stiffly, and squint is more harmonious than looking up (expression movements are to add highlights to our photos).

1, the mobile phone is a fixed-focus lens.

Never use the zoom function on your mobile phone. This is a fixed focus lens. The principle of fixed-focus lens photography is also applicable to mobile phone (such as iPhone) photography.

2, from idea to practice can be controlled in 10 seconds.

Good moments may be fleeting. There may be room to make up for good balls and bad balls. There is a world of difference between shooting and not shooting.

Step 3 be creative

If measured by traditional photography standards, mobile photography can only follow the trend of SLR. But taking photos on mobile phones is not only a beautiful photo, but also a process of improvisation, experiment and sharing on social media. This also means that you need to try bolder composition and more contingency. In the case of limited picture quality and shooting scene itself, the creativity of mobile phone photography is even more important.

Here are a few practical tips about taking pictures (more for iPhone). This in itself is not complicated. It has only three parts: composition, focusing and exposure.

Introduction to practical skills of mobile phone photography 1. Composition

There is not much difference between mobile phone and SLR composition, such as highlighting the theme. Several practical skills include: highlighting the geometry or symmetry element in the picture;

Highlight the geometry or symmetry element in the picture.

Leave a big blank

Pay attention to the cooperation between the front desk and the background.

The focus of the mobile phone is very simple, that is, touch the screen with your fingers to focus.

In this photo, the focus is on the glass, so the people in the background are in Jiao Wai.

Although the mobile phone can't focus manually, there are still some ways to shoot out of focus. One is to quickly press the shutter when the mobile phone is in focus, and the other is to use AE/AF lock: aim near first, hold down the screen until the words AE/AF lock appear, and then aim far away. In this way, the whole picture is in Jiao Wai.

Introduction to practical skills of mobile phone photography III. expose

Take the iphone as an example. Although the exposure of the iPhone is very automated, it does not mean that we have no room for further adjustment. One of the easiest ways is to adjust the exposure by focusing-if the whole photo is bright, focus on the bright part of the screen; If it is dark, focus on the dark place. IPhone will automatically adjust the exposure of photos according to where you focus. So until you find the right exposure value.

For example, in this photo, I focused on the sky in the upper left corner of the photo to prevent overexposure.

In this photo, I focus on the center of the light source. Because the focus is strong light, there is no noise problem that is common when mobile phones take pictures at night.

PS: It's best to take photos in a well-lit place. The noise of mobile phones is particularly obvious at night and when the indoor light is insufficient. I usually avoid taking pictures in this situation.

Introduction to practical skills of mobile phone photography iv. Shadows and environment

One of the problems with mobile phone photography is that it is not tolerant enough, either the bright part is overexposed or the dark part is underexposed (especially iPhone 4). Solution: First, turn on HDR, and second, use it later. I usually keep bright details (such as the sky) when I expose, so many parts of the picture are inevitably too dark. In the future, some mobile phone apps will be used to restore the dark details, so that you can get a photo with a relatively large exposure range, which can make up for the congenital deficiency of mobile phone photography.

Mobile phone photography skills

1. Try to hold the phone steady.

The thinness of smart phones makes it easy to shake when taking pictures, which directly leads to unclear photos. So be sure to hold the phone steady when taking pictures, regardless of whether there is optical anti-shake function or not. In addition, be sure to press the shutter gently.

2. Don't use digital zoom

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom will reduce the image quality. The larger the zoom, the worse the image quality, so you should try to avoid taking pictures with your mobile phone. It's a good choice to cut after taking a picture, just use the built-in editing software of the mobile phone for simple operation. At the same time, it is also recommended to be close to the subject and avoid using digital zoom.

3. Use the best resolution and aspect ratio of the camera.

First enter the camera settings menu and make sure you are using the highest available resolution or the highest image quality. In addition, it is recommended not to use the aspect ratio of 16:9 unless the mobile phone uses a sensor of 16:9. This kind of inductive mobile phone can take "widescreen" photos by default. As for most other smart phones, it is recommended to choose the "classic" 4:3 aspect ratio.

4. Pay attention to cleaning the phone lens

Because the mobile phone lens is easy to get dirty, it is recommended to prepare a small piece of soft cloth to clean the mobile phone lens at any time in order to ensure the quality of taking pictures.

5. Click on the touch screen to adjust the focal length and exposure.

Before pressing the shutter, if the photo is found to be inaccurate or out of focus, you can adjust it by touching the screen and clicking on the subject. At present, most cameras support adjusting the focus and exposure by touching objects on the screen.

6. Composition using the trichotomy method

Trigonometry is a simple photographic composition technique. We can divide the picture by visual inspection or the grid lines of the camera itself, then put the main body at the intersection of vertical lines or horizontal lines, and finally keep the horizon parallel to the horizontal line.

7. Be familiar with the use of various photo modes.

Most smartphone camera applications have rich functions, such as adding various filter effects, setting shooting modes such as single shot continuous shooting, mosaic and panorama, and shooting modes for different scenes, such as night or sports. Mastering the use of these modes can make shooting easier and easier.

8. With the help of third-party camera application software

Whether it is Android, iOS or Windows Phone platform, developers provide a variety of third-party camera applications, some of which are excellent. In addition to the camera application that comes with your mobile phone, you can also try to use these third-party applications, which may bring you unexpected results.

9. Take more photos

Taking photos with a mobile phone or camera is a safer choice, which can avoid any accidents, such as who blinks or blurs, so that we still have spare photos to use.

10. Edit photos appropriately.

If the filter tool is used properly, it can make an ordinary photo full of artistic sense. But it should not be abused. Imagine that every photo becomes LOMO style, which will also make people feel aesthetic fatigue. In addition, adjusting the contrast and brightness, and appropriately cutting the redundant parts of the picture are very practical editing methods.
