10 Simple photography skills (2)

If there are multiple subjects in the scene you want to shoot, it is recommended to use diagonal alignment to organize the picture. Because all the elements are concentrated on one side of the picture, it is very easy to cause imbalance in the picture.

Especially when shooting still life and people, you can get a balanced picture effect by putting the objects and people on both sides of the diagonal of the picture.

When you can't set things manually, you have to spread your legs and change the shooting position and angle to get a balanced picture.

Step 5 close up the details

Another mistake people often make when taking pictures is to get close to the camera, but not close enough. Turn on macro mode and shoot natural or artificial textures such as flowers, leaves and water droplets.

First turn it off, then slowly move it away to find the closest focal length you can shoot. You can shoot with an external close-up.

Let the texture details fill your picture, which is the main body of the close-up. Besides, you can also try to close up the faces of people or animals.

Step 6 take a picture of the shadow

When the light shines at a low angle, you can shoot the long shadow of the object, and shooting the shadow can add some material to the picture.

Shadows can enhance the three-dimensional sense and mystery of objects. Long shadows need low-angle illumination, so prime-time shooting after sunrise and before sunset is more appropriate.

Because the subject and shadow appear at the same time, the light level shooting effect using side backlight or side light is more obvious.

Step 7 capture a silhouette

The high-light background with strong contrast between the main silhouette can be said to be the easiest to shoot large-scale effects.

Find a well-defined object or figure and put it in the main light source or high brightness background. Pay attention to exposure adjustment, so that the brightness of the subject is low enough to present a clean silhouette.

When shooting outdoors at sunrise and sunset, the color transition of the sky background is better. It is suitable for shooting behind lighting doors and windows, and the strong light reflection on the ground is also a good choice as the background.

Adjust the focal length and photometry in advance, and the rest is to wait for the subject to reach the ideal position.
