What are the practical photography skills?

Speaking of photography skills, I want to say that photography skills are really very important in photography. Mastering some photography skills is really helpful to improve my photography ability. Many novices will have a question, why others are more emotional and amazing than me in the same scenery and the same thing.

This is actually the use of photography skills. There are many photography skills, and you can't communicate them all at once. Of course, I am learning step by step, making progress step by step, and learning endlessly. Never too old to learn. As long as I have a heart that loves photography, I can have unlimited learning motivation. So today we will talk about some practical basic photography skills that we should know in our daily life.

1, the skill of shooting stars.

There are many photos, and the lights emit gorgeous stars. Shooting stars is actually very simple. Just use a small aperture when shooting. The size of the star is related to the aperture used when shooting. The smaller the aperture, the more obvious the effect of the stars. The longer the line of the star, the smaller the aperture and the shorter the line.

In general, the shooting of Star Mountain is at night, and the aperture is generally set between f 1 1-f22. As mentioned above, the aperture is set according to the star-studded effect you want. In order to make the picture quality more delicate, ISO should not be set too high, just 100-400, and the line of the star is also related to the focal length used. The wider the wide angle, the more obvious the effect of the star awn. Another point is that the point light source you choose when shooting must be small and strong, such as candles and street lamps. Note that tripod and cable release are needed to ensure the stability of the camera when shooting.

2. Using different perspectives.

In fact, when we shoot a very ordinary thing in our daily life, if we change our perspective, we will shoot different effects, and we can establish our own unique perspective to shoot magical effects. Try to put the angle of view lower or higher, and take a picture to find the feeling.

Step 3 shoot with running water

There are many photos of waterfalls and seaside, and the flowing water is beautiful. You must use a tripod and cable, because the exposure time of running water like silk is long, at least the shutter speed should be one tenth or slower, and the aperture should be small. F 1 1-f 16 is the best, and ISO uses 65438.

4. Starry shooting

You should also use a tripod and a cable releaser to shoot the starry sky, because shooting the starry sky requires a longer exposure time, even a few hours, and the spare battery and power supply are ready. When the lens is set to M position, you need to focus manually. Turn the focus ring to infinity, and then turn it back about 2-5 mm. Why do you want to turn it? Because even if you focus manually in the dark, you can't guarantee the accuracy of focusing. Step back a little and take a picture to see the effect, and make fine adjustments according to the actual situation until it is in place. The camera shooting mode is set to M manual file, the camera for door B is set to manual exposure, and the ISO is set to 200-400. The exposure time depends on the starry sky effect you want. If you want to shoot the star orbit, you need at least 30 seconds of exposure time. In order to minimize the camera vibration when using M gear, you can turn on the reflector pre-lift mode to shoot.

Step 5 shake the racket

Swing is to make the moving object clear and the background blurred when shooting the moving object, so as to achieve a dynamic feeling. We need to set the shooting mode of the camera to the shutter priority mode, adopt the shutter speed of 1/30- 1/60, move the lens according to the motion direction of the subject, and choose continuous shooting mode to shoot. Jitter is still difficult, and you need to try more to take a successful photo.
