According to your own economic conditions, buy a cheap and practical middle and low-grade camera.

At present, cameras sold in the domestic market can be roughly divided into low, medium and high prices.

Three grades of products; Generally, low-grade cameras are less than 200 to 300 yuan, while mid-grade cameras,

The price is around 300 yuan to 800 yuan; High-end cameras cost more than 700 yuan.

Low-grade cameras are the most common, and they are also the most common for beginners and amateur photographers.

Frequently used; This kind of cameras, whether 120 or 135, are mostly mechanical or semi-automatic.

Dynamic; Such as "Seagull" and "Hongmei" in 120 folding camera and 120 dual-lens reflex camera.

And so on all belong to this type; There are also 135 "Oriental" and 135 "Fool" cameras in the head-up camera.

"Phoenix" and "Konica" also belong to this type. There is also a 1 10 pocket.

Although the market is scarce, the price is also among the low-end cameras.

The biggest advantage of low-grade cameras is that they are cheap and economical. Especially in recent years.

135 "fool" camera, the price and mechanical properties are different.

New breakthrough; Its body is small and light, equipped with a "built-in" flash, which can automatically wind up, rewind and focus.

Aperture and speed selection have reached semi-automatic or full-automatic level, and the lens of individual cameras can be replaced;

It has provided excellent shooting conditions for amateur photographers and reached a universal level. But yes.

For most low-end cameras, they are only equipped with a standard lens or a small wide-angle lens.

Head, its lens is fixed on the camera, so it can't be replaced. This kind of camera is only suitable for beginners to take pictures.

Photographers learn shooting skills, or amateur photographers take pictures in their daily lives. If you want to perform art

Or news photography, the function of this kind of camera is too simple to meet the professional requirements of shooting.

Please.

Mid-range cameras are much superior to low-range cameras in performance and accessories; For example, 120

Dual-lens reflex camera, although the appearance is similar to that of low-grade camera, its performance is mostly semi-automatic and accessories.

More complete. Another example is the 135 SLR camera. Most lenses can be replaced, and the accessories are complete and suitable.

Used for artistic or professional photography; There are also 135 fully automatic cameras for fools, such as imported Ricoh.

(Ricoh), "Mamiya" and other cameras; This kind of camera not only looks beautiful, but also has its own characteristics.

It has reached the level of full automation. For people who don't know photography, just pick it up and use it.

You will learn to shoot without worrying about exposure and speed. Professional skills such as concentration; This stage

The machine is equipped with self-timer, timer, early warning and other multi-functional devices, which is very suitable for family use, as long as economic conditions permit.

License plate, this camera is ideal.

Although high-end cameras are expensive, they have excellent performance and complete accessories. Whether it's artistic creation,

News snapshots, portraits and other photography will make the obtained photos ideal, clear and colorful.

Realistic effect. Such as "Has-selblaD" and "BRONICA" in 120 SLR cameras.

(BPonlca), etc., 135 PICOH and Minolta in SLR cameras.

And so on all belong to this category. For photographers who are relatively wealthy or engaged in professional fields, choose high-end products.

A camera is ideal.

In short, when choosing a camera, we should not only choose from the economic conditions, but also choose from the practical functions of the camera.

Considering the angle, this paper mainly introduces the main practical functions of 120 camera and 135 camera for your reference.

120 camera, including folding, dual-lens reflex or single-lens reflex. Use 120 film,

Each film roll can take 8 6X9 cm negatives, 12 6X6 cm and 6X4.5 negatives.

16 cm negative. The biggest advantage of this camera is that it has a large shooting area and is easy to develop and enlarge.

Parts, without affecting its quality. Disadvantages: the fuselage is big and stupid, and it is inconvenient to travel and carry. Two-lens framing and

The exposed image has errors. The number of shots per roll is small, and the number of film changes is large, which affects the capture effect. use

This kind of life photography costs a lot, wastes film, and is suitable for professional photography.

135 camera, including single-lens reflex camera or head-up camera, and "fool" camera. manufacture

With 135 film, each roll of film can hold 20, 24 and 36 negatives. The greatest advantage of this camera

The key points are: low film cost, continuous shooting and less film change times. The camera is small, light and convenient.

Carry. In the negative film of 135, the silver shadow particles of the photos below 16 inch are not rough. And can be replace.

Various focal length lenses, suitable for photography under various themes and different conditions. Some cameras can focus automatically.

Fast and accurate; Some shots are simple. Convenient and easy to capture; Some are equipped with electronic exposure systems.

System, accurate exposure.

In addition, when buying a new camera, you should pay attention to the packaging of the camera (whether it is original or not)

And whether the accessories sold at random are complete (manual, strap, lens cover, battery, etc.). ). What should be done

Take a real shot early, so as to find the problem (quality problem) as soon as possible and solve it to prevent losses.

In a word, the above is the most basic common sense you should know when choosing a camera. I hope you can buy one.

Ruyi camera adds a joy to your daily cultural and entertainment activities and family life photography.

How to blur the scenery

1. Use the slow door skillfully. Shoot the moving body with a shutter speed below 1/30 seconds. During the filming process, the moving body

The image moves on the negative, producing a virtual shadow, giving people a sense of movement. When the shutter speed is lower than that of the moving body, it

Can leave a virtual shadow.

2. Open the aperture to shorten the depth of field. When the background or foreground of the subject is messy, the influence is outstanding.

In the question, we should use the inverse relationship between the aperture and the depth of field to enlarge the aperture and put the background or foreground in the depth of field.

Outside the scope is vague, giving people a sense of space depth.

3. Follow the theme. To shoot a moving object, let the camera follow the moving object and move in the direction of motion.

The result of this is that the moving body is clear and the background or foreground is blurred, which can increase the sense of movement and render the atmosphere.

Express the dynamics and speed of the subject. In addition to parallel follow-up, there are vertical follow-up and arc follow-up.

Use, cycle to follow, the effect is also unique.

4. Natural phenomena such as sharp corners and clouds. In the early morning, evening or rainy day, the sky is foggy and the prospects are bright.

It is shrouded in clouds, showing only the outline of the scene. Especially in landscape photography, the use of clouds, distant mountains and sparse forests,

Near and far, powerful and affectionate, there is a god in the void, which makes the mountains and rivers grand and deep, ethereal and beautiful.

5. Use a zoom lens. Zoom lens is a new type of lens, which can change a variety of focal lengths.

People use the variability of lens focal length to push and pull the lens in the exposure process, and overlapping virtual images can be formed on the negative.

Shadows are used to set off the subject and create an atmosphere.

6. Multiple exposures. Multiple exposures are generally fixed cameras, with or without changing the aperture and speed.

Shooting objects by multiple exposures or multiple exposures makes some objects on the negative have a ghost effect. This technology

Fado is used to shoot night scenes.

How to use diagonal composition

Horizontal painting, vertical painting or square painting all have four corners, if the subject and important partner of the painting do it.

Are respectively arranged at two corners of the diagonal, or the screen body itself occupies two corners of the diagonal,

This layout is called diagonal composition, which has the characteristics of harmonious correspondence, vividness and naturalness.

It is the embodiment of the unity of picture composition with change and change. The composition is suitable for

Various shooting contents can make the layout flexible, easy to master and achieve good results. Examples of its application points

As follows:

1. The screen is divided by the word "well", and the dividing line produces four intersections. At the same time, the pictures are in proportion.

For example, the same 9 small pieces, let the picture subject and important companions (or the picture subject itself be deployed on the left.

Upper right and lower right, or upper right and lower left diagonal points or even diagonal small pieces, such as the bottom left of the picture is sitting.

Fisherman by the water, far mountain on the upper right; Or a flock of birds in the upper left corner and a clump in the lower right corner.

Shrub; It can also be a girl dancing with a sword, squatting with an eagle spreading its wings, straight and double.

The intersection of the arm and the double sword on the diagonal of the picture; Or shoot sideways, sit on the floor, tied up.

Athletes who tie their shoelaces are in diagonal positions from head to toe.

2. The subject and companion of the diagonal picture can have internal connection (such as a person).

Look up at a picture), or they can be unrelated (such as taking a nap in the lower left corner of the picture)

There is a lazy cat with a pot of chlorophytum in the upper right corner. But the diagonal of the subject must be an important and eye-catching partner.

Body, if the companion diagonal is not obvious to the subject, is not vivid, but the companion diagonal is clear to the subject.

Real and eye-catching, not diagonal composition.

3. Generally, the diagonal subject and companion must maintain the directivity or visual effect that echoes each other.

When the main body of the picture itself forms a diagonal composition layout, there must be a proper way to use symmetrical composition before the trend, tendency and trend.

The layout structure of photographic composition mainly includes two series: symmetry and asymmetry. The so-called symmetrical structure

The picture refers to the content of the shot, and both sides of the vertical line or horizontal line in the middle of the picture are equal or roughly right-biased.

So that the picture has the characteristics of balanced layout, regular structure, beautiful pattern and strong interest. such

Examples of combinations are as follows:

1. In real life and the surrounding environment, there are many scenes and objects that are often left, right and left.

There are, for example, weightlifters' weightlifting, swimmers' butterfly stroke, group dance performances and tricks.

Light sets, Chinese ancient buildings and even some appliances. , are taken from their left and right equivalent angles.

Scene shooting can form a symmetrical picture layout.

2. Swans float on the calm lake, and girls meditate in the sparkling water.

Athletes who perform rhythmic gymnastics on the grindstone ground will be photographed because of the reflection of the shiny surface on which they lean.

Produce a clear reflection. Take a picture of the entity and the reflection together, and it will become a symmetrical cloth with equal top and bottom.

Bureau.

3. Symmetric composition cannot be mechanically equivalent, but must be vivid and change in equivalence.

Or interesting and decorative, otherwise it will become boring. For example, two people are sitting on a piece of sand.

The hair talks relatively, because the posture is similar, so the left and right are equal, but it looks stiff and mechanical. Intermediate frequency performance

Two naive children are playing in the "Top Bull", or shooting a silhouette and picture of a couple silently facing each other.

The performance is obviously symmetrical and interesting, with a beautiful sense of form.

4. Left-right equivalence plus lower equivalence, although it has a symmetrical effect on the pattern form, is generally not desirable.

For example, if you shoot a swan in front of you, it is equal to the left and right. If you add a reflection, it will become a cross.

And so on, there is no sense of beauty but only a sense of rigidity-too unified, lack of change.
