Basic skills of photography

Unit 1: Application training of basic camera functions.

Training 1, Quan Jingshen practice.

Theme: general scenery, flowers, urban architecture and other scenery with strong impact.

Requirements: All the pictures are in focus.

Suggestions: 1. Use a wide-angle lens: 24 mm-35 mm for shooting, and the aperture: f116, and the aperture gives priority to AE mode.

Exercise 2, single focus exercise

Requirements: only focus on the subject, the depth of the scene.

Suggestion: medium telescope head: above 85MM, aperture above F5.6. Aperture priority AE mode.

Training 3, freeze-frame exercise

Theme: sports, walking cars, trains, running water, waterfalls, etc.

Requirements: Record the instantaneous action or instantaneous expression of the subject who is violently moving.

Suggestion: AE mode with high speed shutter11000 seconds and shutter speed first.

Exercise 4, dynamic exercise

Theme: sports, dynamic figures, running water, waterfalls, etc.

Requirements: The body parts of athletes and dynamic figures are empty or the body background is empty. Flowing water, waterfalls, etc. have a sense of streamline.

Suggestion: slow shutter115s-1 1 sec. 1/30 seconds to start practicing, and then 115, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2,1second to practice step by step. Use a tripod.

Training 5, framing practice

Requirements: highlight the theme, the picture is concise, and can convey the atmosphere of the scene being photographed.

* This training is the basis of composition training.

Suggestion: Telescope head, large aperture.

Training 6, close practice

Theme: flowers, still life, insects, etc.

Requirements: The proportion of the subject in the picture should be as large as possible, and the shape and interesting parts of the subject should be highlighted in high definition.

Suggestion: Use macro lens or macro function and close-up lens to shorten the shooting distance as much as possible and keep the lens parallel to the subject. Use tripod and cable to release.

Training 7. Practice with various focal length lenses (lens focal segments).

Practice shooting with lenses with various focal lengths (each focal segment of the lens), so as to understand the characteristics of each focal length of the lens and the relationship between drawing angle and perspective.

Flexible use of each focal length segment with different depth of field.

Standard lens: a lens with a focal length of about 50MM-extremely natural and not exaggerated.

Wide-angle lens: a lens with a focal length less than 35MM-emphasizes the sense of distance.

Telescope head: a lens with a focal length of 85 mm ~ 135 mm-closest to the perspective sense (distance) of the human eye, which can correctly reflect the shape of the subject.

Mostly used for portrait photography.

Telescope head: a lens with a focal length of more than 200MM-almost no sense of distance and compression effect. (Easy to shake, try to use a tripod)

Unit 2: Picture Composition and Composition Training

Exercise 8, Landscape and Vertical Composition

Theme: scenery, mountains and rivers, architecture, people, etc.

Requirements: use horizontal composition to express stability and breadth, use vertical composition to express depth and height, and there should be no useless space in the picture.

Suggestion: 1, shoot the same theme with horizontal and vertical composition respectively, and compare the different feelings of the works.

2. Use a lens above the standard focus when presenting a sense of stability in horizontal composition, and use a wide-angle lens when presenting a sense of width.

3. Use wide-angle lens to express the sense of depth and height in vertical composition, and pay attention to the position configuration of close-range and distant view in the picture.

4. Pay special attention to horizontal and vertical composition and use a tripod.

Exercise 9, Triangle Composition

Subject matter: triangular or triangle-like scenery, architecture, character modeling, etc.

Requirements: Use triangles in different positions in the drawing to show a sense of stability, jumping, height and width.

Suggestion: 1. There are easily recognizable triangular shapes in the picture, and the focus of complex objects composed of triangles should be realistic and balanced.

2. For tall and slender scenes such as tall buildings and roads, use a wide-angle lens below 20 mm..

3. Use the depth of field prediction function.

Exercise 10, symmetrical composition

Subject matter: all symmetrical scenery, figures and buildings.

Requirements: Use symmetrical composition to express stable and surreal artistic conception.

Suggestion: 1. Choose a beautiful symmetrical shape, the focus on both sides of the symmetrical shape should be solid, and each symmetrical shape should be obvious.

2. Try to use a lens with a standard focal length or above, and keep the camera parallel to the subject when using a light angle lens.

3. When shooting symmetrical composition scenes on shore and in water, use polarizers.

When you have to shoot Quan Jingshen with a small aperture, please use a tripod.

Exercise 1 1, vertical and horizontal composition

Theme: landscape, architecture, etc.

Requirements: the picture is a simple beauty composed of multiple parallel lines or vertical lines.

Suggestion: the lines of the picture should be horizontal or vertical, the lines should be beautiful, and the horizontal or vertical line modeling should cover the whole picture.

Use a tripod

Exercise 12, S-shape and diagonal composition

Photographed: S-shaped or diagonal urban roads, rivers, mountains, bridges and roads.

Requirements: Use an S-shape to express the sense of depth, and diagonal lines to express the sense of extensiveness and abduction. The S-shape should reach both ends of the picture. If it breaks halfway, there should be room in front.
