A rudimentary knowledge of photography

Category: Culture/Art >> Calligraphy and Painting Art

Problem description:

Recently, I suddenly became interested in photography, but after all, I am a beginner and still have a lot to learn. I use a pure fool camera, Kodak's. Who can help me explain the following basic knowledge?

Analysis:

■ Because I don't know your camera model, I can only say it for your reference ■

Secret 1. Read the instructions carefully.

Most people buy a stupid camera, which really makes them feel stupid and they don't read the instructions. Or just watched it once, and when I went out to play, I found that I didn't know anything except pressing the shutter. Find out your instructions quickly! Please pay special attention to the following points:

(1) Special shooting mode-portrait, landscape, night scene and other settings;

(2) flash index guide number or effective flash distance;

(3) Red-eye prevention settings;

(4) Camera focusing mode-whether to press the shutter halfway to focus on the center first, and then re-compose without putting the shutter?

(5) How to set and eliminate date printing.

Tip 2: Choose the right negative.

More and more people buy zoom cameras. Take the common Pentax Espio 140 as an example. Although it has a large zoom of 38- 140mm, the aperture is only f/4.8-f/ 12. If you need a flash, if you use 100 degree film, the effective distance is only 65438. So the conclusion is: zoom fools choose 100 degree film on sunny days and 400 degree film on cloudy days or indoors. (200 degrees negative? The sensitivity is only increased by one level compared with 100 degree, but the grain is not much thinner than 400 degree, so it is not recommended to bring enough 100 degree and 400 degree negatives during the tour. I also want to remind you that when the night scene background is too dark, the flash will only make the subject clear, and the background is absolutely dark. Don't waste the negative for the photos that can't be taken.

Tip 3: Pay attention to composition when taking pictures.

Although he is not a great photographer, it is not difficult to take a good photo as long as he pays a little attention to some details.

(1) When taking a portrait, if the face is sideways, please leave more space for him to look at the direction (if you look at the right side of the picture, please put the person on the left side of the picture);

(2) Take a picture of a person. If it is purely a portrait, please try to make a straight composition;

(3) Don't stand in the center of the picture;

(4) When taking photos of travel and life, don't just take one, two or three photos. Look around in the viewing window first to see if others are in disorder. You can wait for ten seconds to make the picture fresher, or you can move your feet and take pictures from another angle;

(5) Take photos of the sea or water level and try to keep the water level;

(6) Important subjects or backgrounds should not be cut in half at the edge.

Secret four, the scenery is good, and there are many shots.

Look at your life photos, some eyes have just closed, and some heads have not turned around ... Don't be afraid to waste negatives and take more photos! Especially for landscape photos, try different compositions, take a full-angle shot, and try to be straight and horizontal. The photos taken horizontally are broad and steady, while the photos taken directly are more imposing and deep.

Tip 5: Focus.

Sometimes pictures of people who are not in the middle focus on the back, right? Practice more when the negative is not loaded. Half-press the shutter to focus on the center (you can hear the sound of the lens turning). Don't let go, recompose the composition (properly place the characters and background scenery) and press the shutter.

Tip 6: Turn off the flash and shoot the scenery.

As mentioned above, the aperture of zoom camera is small, and the flash is often triggered in automatic mode. Please know how to turn off the flash. At this time, the camera will be exposed with a slow shutter, so be sure to hold your body steady, take a breath first and then hold your breath, and press the shutter slowly and easily to avoid vibration.

Tip 7: Buy a tripod.

The tripod (or desktop tripod) on the market is not expensive, but it is very useful. You can * * * Dont Ask For Help, and you can slow down the shutter at night (it won't make the picture shake when the * * * device is activated), and it won't increase your burden (the weight is only one or two hundred grams).

Tip 8: Eliminate date printing in time.

It is convenient to take pictures of life with dates, but it is not good to take pictures of pure scenery with enlarged dates. Make sure again that you will cancel the date setting!

Tip 9: Choose a print shop.

Most people who use a fool's camera take negative films (general negatives), and the print shop has a greater influence on the quality of the developed photos than you think. Choose a print shop that has a good impression on you, and try not to go to another home to wash it.

Secret 10: Read more and learn more.

The last and most important way to take good photos is to look at other people's works, participate in discussions and show your photos to people who understand. Look at the rich pictures and descriptions of the shooting process, write down the time and place of the photo exhibition, and visit and study when you have time.

Know as much as possible about the camera in your hand, and pay a little attention when shooting, and the effect may be very different!
