Shooting skills of subway

Lead: Many urbanites take the subway every day, so do you want to take a series of photos that are too underground? Let's take a look at the skills of subway shooting!

Subway shooting skills use fisheye lenses to make the picture more impactful.

1. Shoot people's expressions

There are all kinds of people in the subway, some are rushing to work and some are resting. We can use the lens to capture pictures with stories. However, it is too far to use a telephoto lens in a crowded subway, and a 50mm standard lens is enough. It should be noted that not everyone likes to be photographed, and polite advice can avoid many misunderstandings.

Use telephoto to shoot facial expression details.

2. Use a special lens to get this effect.

If you want to shoot in the subway, you can take 1-3 lens. The suggestions are as follows:

50mm large aperture fixed focus lens. The focal length of 50 mm (35mm for APS-C) is the most standard and easy to master. The large aperture is also very suitable for shooting in the dark subway, which makes it easier to shoot charming shallow depth of field and improve the effect. Moreover, most 50mm fixed-focus lenses are also light and easy to carry.

Fisheye lens. The fisheye lens can provide a viewing angle as high as 180 degrees, which is very suitable for shooting panorama in the narrow environment of Shaanxi, and the visual distortion caused by the fisheye lens is also very special.

18- 105 standard zoom lens. This kind of standard zoom lens is very convenient, and it can cover both far and near shots, but the aperture is generally thin. Pay attention to whether the shutter speed can reach the safety shutter, and upgrade ISO if necessary.

Use a large aperture to create a charming shallow depth of field effect.

3. Color matching brings effect

Some subways are very old, while others are very modern. We can change the color by adjusting the white balance or post-production to express different feelings!

Reducing the white balance and post-processing can make the picture full of classical beauty.

Improve the white balance and add a fisheye lens to keep the picture warm.

4. Grab it!

Sometimes you don't have to care too much about composition. Try to be close to the subject, cut the photo into squares, and use the software and LOMO effect to make the photo have a taste!

Add LOMO effect to create a unique style.

5. Make good use of the slow shutter

There are often moving trains in the subway. We can take a tripod, put down the camera without disturbing others, then slow down the shutter speed, shoot the dynamic train and find the motionless passengers as the foreground.

The combination of motion and static makes the picture more impactful.

6. Choose your composition angle

Don't always take everything into the photo, it will confuse the composition, and readers often don't know what the photo wants to say. We can try that the photo only contains one or two elements, and then find a special angle of view and press the shutter, so your photography technology will definitely go further!

Dichotomy composition makes the picture clean and tidy.

Use telephoto lens to blur the background and highlight the subject.
