What are the skills of shooting with a mobile phone?

Nowadays, the smart phone technology is improving day by day, and the camera function is becoming more and more powerful, which can fully meet the daily needs. Let's share some mobile phone photography skills for your reference.

Composition with grid lines

Mobile phone photography also needs composition and is more flexible. There is a very common composition method called "golden section composition method", also known as "three-point composition method", which refers to arranging the subject on the three-point connection or intersection of the picture to avoid the dullness of the picture. In the photo function on the mobile phone, open the grid line and you can use it as a reference composition.

Manual exposure

Mobile phone photos are automatically exposed by default. However, in some complicated lighting environments, automatic exposure is not accurate and manual exposure is needed. Take the iPhone as an example. Tap the camera interface and you will see a small yellow box next to a small sun. You can slide up and down to adjust the brightness of the exposure.

For example, in this picture, the shooting environment is relatively dark, so the automatic exposure will be very bright, and there is no such feeling of contrast. When shooting, you can take such a textured contrast effect by using the manual exposure technique and deliberately reducing the exposure.

High altitude shooting

In some scenes with messy backgrounds, it is easy to take pictures with ugly backgrounds. You can lift your mobile phone and shoot from above, so that the picture is simple with the ground as the background. It will be more interesting if the ground is a corridor with a sense of form.

For example, the above picture was taken with a high-altitude mobile phone. The picture is lively and interesting.

Use low-altitude shooting

Sometimes if you want to highlight the tall and dynamic characters, you can shoot at low altitude. Put the phone close to the ground, tilt the lens slightly, and take a snapshot when people get close, so you can get a special visual impact effect.

For example, in the above picture, the background is an airplane model, so direct shooting by mobile phone can't blur the background, and the characters also look mediocre. When the skateboard boy was about to leave, in order to quickly lower his mobile phone to the ground for a snapshot, he captured this moment with a novel angle and a dynamic picture.
