How to take photos with your mobile phone: a good tutorial

How to take pictures with a mobile phone?

Composition is the most important.

Good composition is the most basic and important element to take good-looking photos. The so-called composition is actually a picture in which you combine what you see in the right form. Generally, the basic composition is mainly horizontal line composition, three-point composition and central symmetry composition.

▼ horizontal line composition method

When shooting some relatively open scenes, especially the sea, lakes, grasslands, etc., you can use the horizontal line of the sky to express a sense of stability and harmony. For example, the above picture shows a broad and magnificent momentum with this distant sea-sky connection.

▼ Three-point composition method

The three-point composition method is actually a common composition method in artistic creation. In this method, you need to roughly divide the picture with two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, so that you can get four intersections, and you only need to place the key figures or scenes you want to highlight in the picture at one of the four intersections. For example, the figures on the cliff are roughly at the intersection on the upper right. Of course, students who are not sure about the number of points can turn on the reference line tool in the camera and put it on the focus of the nine squares.

▼ Centrally symmetric synthesis method

The final central symmetry composition method is simpler, in short, it is to put people or scenery in the middle of the picture, so that the scenery in the picture is symmetrical and highlights the subject. This composition is suitable for taking pictures of figures and symmetrical ancient buildings. And it is not easy to make mistakes.

2. Good lighting and color background

After all, mobile phones can't compare with professional cameras. In the case of insufficient light source, the scribed lines are often too dark. Therefore, when taking pictures, it is best to choose sufficient light, give priority to the situation of front light and side light, and try to avoid backlight. Secondly, color and background. Whether the colors in the picture are colorful or not is actually very important. Try to choose colorful or unique background when taking pictures.

3. Rational use of depth of field effect

Depth of field is actually a blur effect that many dual-camera phones can shoot now. Focus the picture on the scenery or people you want to highlight by highlighting the main body of the picture, blurring the background or other places. Of course, even a single camera phone like MIX2 can be realized by focusing on a certain point or using a special camera mode.

4. Appropriate modification and filter

Yes, that's right. In fact, there are very few proofs in photography now. Even professional photographers, not to mention ordinary users, will retouch the picture after shooting the original film. The retouching here does not let you use retouching software such as Meitu Xiu Xiu, but simply add a filter, and the quality of the photos will be greatly improved.
