Tracking people's dynamics in focus shooting

The trap is focused to fix a predetermined trajectory.

Confirm in advance where the skier's posture is the best, lock the focus here, and press the shutter for exposure when the skier passes this position. This method is called "trap focusing". Here is a trick that everyone can use, that is, focus on the "scene" instead of the person. In some cases, players will walk through a forest. At this time, after confirming the action position with him, he will focus on the branches in the snow with auto focus mode, and then switch to manual focus mode to lock the focus and shoot. It should be noted here that your hand must not accidentally touch the zoom ring, and manual focusing will lead to focus shift and out of focus of the picture.

Track and focus the skier who quickly locks in the movement.

On sunny days, autofocus has the highest sensitivity and accuracy. It is recommended to turn on all focus points and use intelligent servo mode to track and focus. Keeping the skier's position in the picture as much as possible is helpful to improve the accuracy of autofocus. However, under the backlight, the lens in your hand may "pull the bellows" back and forth, especially if the foreground in the picture is within the focus range, which may also cause the focus of the lens to switch back and forth. In the case of backlight, we'd better use or add a hood. Generally, telephoto lenses have the option of the closest focal length, and the problem of switching back and forth between close-range focusing and long-range focusing can also be avoided by adjusting to a farther gear.

Preset the focus of the tree.

Use intelligent servo focusing to automatically select the focus.

Recommended ski spots

Chongli Dole Meidi Ski Resort is surrounded by nine high mountains over 2000 meters. The terrain rises from 1.500 meters above sea level to 2 1.74 meters. The snow area exceeds 3 million square meters, the natural snow thickness exceeds 65438 0.5 meters, and the snow time exceeds 65438 0.50 days, forming a rare natural snow vein. It has junior, middle and advanced ski trails, cat jumping trails and wave trails, with a total length of more than 8 kilometers, and has built a variety of ski amusement areas such as single board parks, forest parks and children's parks.

Never interfere with skiers.

Wearing bright clothes helps skiers know where you are in advance. When shooting at the corner or the edge of the platform, you should get the consent of the skater in advance, so as not to affect the safety of the skater in high-speed sliding. When shooting at close range, it is best to be accompanied by an assistant, so that you can get help in time before the collision. When shooting on the cable car and the top of the mountain, first confirm a firm foothold to avoid falling of personnel or equipment.

Pay attention to cleaning the snowflakes on the camera.

Splash snow in front of the camera, don't blow it with your mouth, it will melt the snow and ice, which is more difficult to deal with. Blow it off with air, and prepare some cotton swab sticks to clean the fog on the viewfinder. Don't breathe into the viewfinder or lens! Frost and fog will be produced immediately at low temperature, which is difficult to clean. Before entering the room, seal the photographic equipment in plastic bags or moisture-proof bags to prevent fogging.
