On-site shooting skills and methods

For aperture priority, it is mostly used when taking portraits and landscapes. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and the camera will decide the shutter speed according to this aperture value. Because the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is most widely used in ordinary shooting. So, here is how I share the skills and methods of live shooting for you. Welcome to read and browse.

First, how to shoot children indoors?

First, give priority to the aperture, and adjust the aperture to the maximum; Second, arrange the lights. Although we can't use the flash, we can take the children to a brighter place near the window. If we can use the desk lamp at night, we can wait for the light. Children often move around, so you can consider manual focusing. First lock the spotlight, adjust the focal length, then press the shutter halfway, and then press the shutter quickly when the child has an interesting and lovely expression.

Second, what can I do to blur the background?

First of all, the aperture is given priority, and the aperture is adjusted to the maximum (that is, the value after F is the smallest, such as F2.8); The greater the focal length, the greater the blur, the better; The person or thing that arranges the foreground is as far away from the background as possible; If the above is still unsatisfactory, we can achieve satisfaction through post-processing.

Third, how to shoot a baby?

When taking pictures of your baby, remember to attract him with something he is interested in, so that you can take a more natural expression. In order to protect the baby's eyes, it is best not to use flash. You can adjust the sensitivity to 200 and shoot in the light. It is best to hold the child in a well-lit place. If the weather is bad, you can light it with a desk lamp. If you must use a flash, you'd better cover it with a piece of tissue paper or gauze. The shooting distance is 50 cm to 150 cm, and telephoto is the best. You can observe the child's face from different angles and try to find a better angle.

Fourth, the shooting incident from the tour bus

When we travel, the time in the car is also an important part of the trip, so it can also be a good shooting time. The same scenery, taken from a moving car and taken outside the car, often gives people different feelings.

When shooting from the inside out in a moving car, pay attention to the following points:

(1) When shooting, don't put your wrist on the window frame or seat back, because there will always be some tremor when the vehicle is driving, which is easy to cause virtual images such as hand tremor.

(2) Don't shoot at the window where the sun shines, because there are white clothes and other reflections on the window glass. You can ask for a temporary change of seat and come back after the filming.

③ For sightseeing buses, the most suitable seat for shooting is the front seat. First, because the vision is wide, and second, because the front glass is often cleaned, it is the cleanest. And the vibration of the front seat is relatively slight than that of the back seat.

5. What should I pay attention to when taking a pet?

When shooting small animals, the focus must be on the eyes. This must be noted. The height of the camera should be similar to the line of sight of animals, which is the basic posture for shooting the world of small animals. If you shoot from a relatively high height, there will be a sense of oppression, and the cuteness of small animals will be greatly reduced.

In order to express the texture of wool, it is best to use natural light. Direct light and smooth light are not easy to express texture, so it is best to shoot against the light for the strongest texture. When the shadow is too strong, you may need to fill the light. Pay attention to the red-eye elimination function when filling the light at night. Animals are too alert to chase and pat. When shooting, the action should be slow, soft and not too hasty. If you have time, try to gain the trust of animals so that you can shoot as close as possible.

6. How to shoot the waterfall?

The shutter speed of (1) generally requires a relatively slow speed, which is between1/60-110 second. Specifically, according to the amount of water, the large amount of water can be faster and the small amount can be slower.

② Try to shoot with a wide angle. Wide angle will shoot momentum.

③ Generally shoot from bottom to top, and shoot at a low angle as far as possible.

4 correct exposure. Use spot metering to test the darkest part of the shooting scene and the details I can clearly distinguish, and then adjust the two-level light value by increasing the shutter speed. For example, photometry shows that the exposure combination of stone is 1/60s, and the aperture is f/5.6, which can be adjusted to115s and f/5.6. Then re-shoot, the photo will be darker, but the details are still very clear.

Seven, shoot flowers

You should pay attention to some skills when shooting flowers well. As we said before, spraying some water before shooting can increase the layering and fragrance of flowers. In addition, the following points should be noted:

Spot metering is the best metering method, measuring the brightest part of the flower, so that the overall details of the flower can be clearly displayed.

② The best shooting mode is aperture priority, which can appropriately control the background blur or depth of field.

(3) shooting angle, don't just shoot the front, you can shoot 7 or 8 shots from different angles at the same time. So you can choose the most beautiful angle.

4 background. Choose flowers with dark background (such as thick leaves, dark walls, etc.). ) as a subject.

Put a big piece of black cloth on the flowers. Behind it, stay away from the flowers. When you get close, you should see the pattern. The method of placing black cloth can be directly laid flat on the ground and hung behind the flowers, or it can be placed on a board and stood behind the flowers.

Matters needing attention

1, highlighting the subject

Do you want to be the same before shooting? Ideas? Think about what the screen mainly shows and where the main body is arranged. Then through light, color, line, shape and other modeling means, to achieve the purpose of highlighting the main body.

2. Visual balance

A photo with a balanced composition can give people a sense of stability and harmony. There are two kinds of balance: symmetric balance and asymmetric balance. Asymmetric balanced combinations are usually more dynamic than symmetric balanced combinations. The size, shape, weight and direction of the scene, as well as the M8 color, have an important influence on the visual balance.

3. Reality and reality set each other off.

Virtual reality refers to the clarity and ambiguity between the subject WX 1 and the foreground and background of space. The technique used is nothing more than hiding the virtual and showing the real, alternating the virtual and the real, and supporting the real with the virtual. Its purpose is to highlight the main body, render the atmosphere and enhance the sense of space depth. Reality mainly represents the subject of the subject; Imagination is mainly to show the subject's companions to set off the subject, which is an important link in the artistic conception of the picture.

Pay attention to the composition of rhythm and melody photography, and the subjects appear alternately in the same or similar form and repeat in order, thus forming rhythm; If the rhythm shows dynamic changes such as lines, comfort, harmony and ups and downs, it becomes a melody, thus making the picture beautiful, lyrical and smooth. Rhythm and melody are important links to deepen the theme, which are included in the contrast and tone of lines, colors and light.

4, line use

Lines are the skeleton of composition. Any visual work is inseparable from lines. There are usually trees, grass, telephone poles, rivers, waves and so on. Different lines can give people different visual images, for example, horizontal lines can express stability and tranquility, vertical lines can express solemnity and strength, diagonal lines have vitality, vitality and movement, and curves and wavy lines appear weak, leisurely and attractive; Thick line is heavy, thin line is light, thick line is strong, thin line is weak, solid line is static and dotted line is moving, which can be used flexibly in composition.
