Learn the skills of taking pictures.

It is actually very important to learn the skills of taking pictures. Whenever you go out to play with your partner or friends, taking a good-looking photo will make people feel much happier and promote feelings. Come and learn the skills of taking pictures together.

Learn photography skills 1 First, take photos with your mobile phone.

1, head-up angle shooting

In daily life, when we observe things, we often use the head-up angle, which is also the shooting angle closest to our visual habits. When shooting a character, the head-up angle can make the character appear natural and close in the picture, and the figure and appearance of the character are more realistic in the picture.

Shooting people from the head-up angle can make them look more natural in the picture.

Many people want to take pictures of tall people, especially girls who love beauty. Everyone wants to show their long legs in the photo. In fact, this effect is not only related to the character's own conditions, but also depends on our shooting angle, that is, low-angle shooting. If the shooting angle is well mastered, even people who are not tall or have short legs can show the effect of high and long legs in the picture.

Taking a commemorative photo from a low angle can make the person in the photo look tall and long-legged.

Looking up to shoot the subject of the character will cause visual impact because of the distance, and the greater the angle of looking up, the stronger the effect of this perspective, so the character will appear tall and long-legged. However, it should be noted that looking up is suitable for taking a full-length photo of a character or a distant half-length photo, but it is not suitable for taking a half-length photo close to the character, which will take a photo with large nostrils and deformed face.

Bird's-eye view of portrait photos is rarely used, but it is often used when shooting children, because the picture presented at this shooting angle will make the subject look short, and the photographer needs to find a position higher than the subject's position.

When the photographer stands in a relatively high position overlooking the subject, the subject presents the effect of big head and small feet, just like cartoon characters.

Actually, it's not that you can't take portrait photos from a overlooking angle. Overlooking angle can make the main body produce the effect of being near big and far small, that is, the effect of having a big head and a small body. We can use this effect to present the protagonist as a cartoon character with big head and small feet, thus showing the lovely side of the protagonist.

Open the composition line in the mobile phone for auxiliary composition.

When shooting a portrait in a big scene with a mobile phone, the position of the person in the picture is particularly important. If you don't arrange the position, the picture will appear abrupt. The simplest way to solve this problem is to use TIC-tac-toe composition to arrange the position of the main characters.

Arrange the characters at the intersection of the well shape, even if the characters are small compared with the wide lake, they can stand out.

When using TIC-tac-toe composition, the easiest way is to open the composition line of the mobile phone. The four intersecting positions of the composition line are the golden section positions of the picture. Putting the main body of the character near these positions can make the character stand out more in the picture and make the whole picture look natural and harmonious. Whether taking commemorative photos of people on the trip, taking some daily photos in life, or wanting to take some portraits, you can use the well-shaped composition method to take photos.

2. Open composition shooting

It is also a good choice to use open composition occasionally when taking portrait photos. The figure's body, clothes and other parts are built outside the picture, which makes the subject in the picture have close spatial connection with the outside of the picture, thus indirectly increasing the information of the picture and creating more imagination space for the viewer after seeing the picture.

When shooting beautiful women walking on the beach, the open composition is used to shoot the partial back of the characters, and a series of footprints on the beach are used as the foreground to form a very artistic picture.

As one of the important forms of modern photography, open composition has more abstract artistic beauty. In addition to using the conventional composition method to take portrait photos, try this unique composition method, and you may get amazing picture effects.

When shooting people with umbrellas in the snow, open composition is used to cut the umbrella and human body parts out of the picture, forming the information connection between the outside and the inside of the picture, giving people more imagination space.

Second, the problem of camera angle.

When taking portrait photos with mobile phones, how to compose a picture and how to choose the shooting angle is also particularly important. When shooting the same person, different shooting angles and composition methods will produce different effects.

The choice of shooting angle includes the choice of shooting direction and shooting height. In figure photography, the choice of shooting angle is very important. The slight change of shooting angle will have obvious influence on the image and posture of the subject.

The choice of shooting direction refers to the change of the camera's position in the horizontal position centered on the subject. Sometimes you can also ask the subject to change the direction to get the shooting effect in different directions. The choice of shooting direction in figure photography mainly includes the following points:

1, front photo

Shooting people in the front direction can well show the positive characteristics of the subject, and all parts of the face of the person are in equal and symmetrical positions, giving people a solemn, solemn and solemn feeling.

2. Front side view

This shooting direction is the most commonly used in figure photography, because it can not only show the front structure and side structure of the subject, but also well show the edge line of the combination of these two surfaces, so that the image, outline and three-dimensional effect of the subject can be fully expressed. The characters shot in this direction are not in the same position in each part of the picture, so the shadows in the picture are vivid and changeable, and the whole picture has dynamic potential and obvious directionality.

Step 3 shoot from the side

When shooting, the camera is on the side of the object to display the side image and line structure of the object. Because shooting in this direction can fully show the profile of the subject, this shooting direction is often used when taking silhouette photos. At the same time, the side shot has strong momentum and directionality, so it is often used when shooting people who are moving at high speed.

4. Back photo

In figure photography, shooting from behind the subject is rare, and it is only used in some special circumstances. Back shooting can show the back characteristics of the subject and guide the audience to develop their sight in depth. When choosing the back direction to shoot people, we must pay attention to the characteristics of the subject's back.

Learn the skills of taking photos 2 1. Keep it steady.

The design trend of mobile phones is obviously thin, and you won't get a huge handle like a SLR camera. At the same time, not all mobile phones have built-in optical anti-shake function, so the first factor to pay attention to when taking pictures is to maintain stability. When shooting, try to hold the camera with both hands and stay for a few seconds, and you can often get a clearer and more stable image.

Think twice before shooting.

Many friends like "brainless" when taking photos with their mobile phones, but there are often no satisfactory photos after screening. Although digital technology makes the cost of image acquisition lower, in fact, before shooting, there should still be a general composition and expected effect in the brain, which can be more targeted and improve the usability of photos.

3. Choose the correct shooting mode

If you use a mobile phone with built-in rich shooting modes or a camera application with scene mode installed, you should choose the most suitable one according to the scene when shooting. Although the "automatic" mode sounds omnipotent, the other side of the overall situation is omniscient. It is easier to take good photos in specific scenes by making good use of sunset, night scene and high-speed movement modes.

4. Post-image processing

To improve the effect of photos, post-processing is inevitable, and mobile phones are no exception. Conveniently, there are a large number of image editing applications with different emphases and styles on the smartphone platform. You can crop, sharpen, adjust the contrast, or add some kind of filter to color photos.

5. Don't use HDR function in all cases.

HDR is a highly dynamic image processing technology, which can balance the exposure effect of photos in some cases. For example, when shooting against the light, or when there are obvious light and dark parts in the scene, HDR can get more balanced and detailed photos. However, HDR is not suitable for fast shooting or ordinary light environment, because it needs to take multiple photos continuously for synthesis.

6. Portable tripod

Tripod is used to increase the stability of the camera, especially when the shutter speed is reduced at night, which can obtain a more stable effect. For mobile phone photo enthusiasts, a portable tripod is also worth considering. In many cases, it will help you get a more stable and clear photo effect, and also enhance the ease of use of functions such as time-lapse photography.

7. Don't use digital zoom

At present, almost all mainstream mobile phones are not equipped with optical zoom function. The so-called zoom in a mobile phone is actually a digital zoom calculated by software interpolation. Maybe you can enlarge the image three times, but the resolution and details are also greatly reduced, and the photos are full of noise. Therefore, the best zoom weapon is actually your foot, and you can find the best viewing position by moving, instead of digital zoom.

8. Clean the lens frequently

The difference between a mobile phone and a camera is that the former is a multifunctional device, not a simple camera, so your finger is likely to be placed on the lens when you make a phone call. So when taking pictures, use anything that can clean the lens, such as clothes and scarves. And wipe the lens slightly to remove dust, fingerprints and oil stains, which may improve the photo effect.
