20 unpopular skills of SLR photography

SLR photography skills? Mastering the skills of SLR photography can make you take different good photos. Here I have sorted out the unpopular skills of SLR photography for everyone. Welcome to read!

Unpopular skills of SLR photography

1, how to move the beat?

Using this shooting method, you need to set the camera to the shutter priority mode, and then use a slower shutter speed, generally 1/30s or 1/60s. The camera should follow the subject closely and move with it to achieve the effect of clear subject and blurred background.

Step 2 learn to use the hood

A high-quality hood helps to limit glare, and using the smallest aperture can reduce these spots.

1, backlight, sidelight or flash photography can prevent non-imaging light from entering and avoid fogging;

2. When shooting in front light and side light, it can prevent the surrounding scattered light from entering the lens;

3, lighting photography or night photography can avoid the surrounding interference light from entering the lens;

4. The hood can also prevent accidental damage to the lens, prevent fingers from touching the lens surface by mistake, and shield the lens from wind, sand, rain and snow to some extent.

3. How to produce a star-studded effect

In order to make the light produce the effect of stars, photographers need to use a small aperture for exposure. The smaller the aperture, the more obvious the effect.

Step 4 protect the camera

In the sun, avoid the lens facing the sun directly when shooting, so as not to damage the CCD board.

Try to avoid shooting in rain and snow. If you want to shoot, you should do a good job of protection to avoid long-term low-temperature shooting and prevent the machine from aging. In the cold winter, machines that enter the room from the outside are prone to condensation, just like glasses worn by people.

The correct way is to put it in a sealed plastic bag and take it out when the machine temperature is consistent with the indoor temperature. Be sure to take out the battery when saving after shooting. Store in a dry place to prevent the machine from getting wet.

5. What is Gate B?

B-door is a mode that allows you to be exposed for a long time. Its exposure time is from the time you press the shutter to the time you release it. In the process of using door B, it is best to use tripod and cable release.

Step 6 Surround exposure

Take more than three photos with different exposures continuously to find the most suitable exposure.

7. What is a polarizer?

The most commonly used and valuable filter can deepen the tone of the blue sky and eliminate glare and reflected light.

8. How to set the horizon?

Generally, when shooting grassland and other scenery, the horizon is arranged in one third of the picture. If the horizon is in the lower third of the picture, it reflects the distance of the sea; If it is in the last third, it shows the broad feelings of going to sea.

9. What is the function of fairing?

Guang Shun can make people's faces receive light evenly, and reduce the sense of defects when shooting portraits. Forward lighting is a kind of light with the most flat effect, which is not conducive to the three-dimensional sense and spatial depth of the subject and lacks vitality.

10, what is the function of sidelight?

The effect of sidelight illumination is obviously improved, and the subject can change the light and shade, showing stereoscopic impression and surface texture, which is more in line with people's normal visual habits, so it is widely used in photography.

1 1, what is the function of backlight?

Backlight can outline the shape of an object and separate it from the background. Forming bright lines on the edge of the object shape can render the atmosphere to be expressed and enrich and activate the picture.

13 What is the light of Rembrandt?

Rembrandt lighting technology relies on strong side light to make any side of the subject's face show a triangular shadow. It can split the subject's face in two and make the two sides of the face look different. If you use uniform overall lighting, both sides of the subject's face will look the same.

14. What software is used for format conversion of raw format?

ADOBE DNG, the original format of digital SLR cameras, is converted into a universal original data format DNG, and then edited in Lightroom.

15, How to save power for digital SLR cameras

In the process of shooting, the photographer tries not to use the display screen to take pictures, but uses the small optical viewfinder of the camera. Furthermore, try not to use or use playback as little as possible to see the photos taken. Also, don't always turn the camera on and off, which will accelerate the power consumption.

16, to make the photos clearer.

Focusing is the basic requirement for photography. Here are some good ways to keep your attention clear.

1, anti-vibration.

Measures can be taken from three aspects:

(1) Mount the camera on a tripod. If the tripod cannot be supported due to shooting conditions, a monopod can also be used.

(2) Safety shutter (reciprocal of focal length) The shutter is higher than the reciprocal of focal length, and the 55mm shutter is at least 1/60.

2. Don't unilaterally pursue a small aperture.

Beginners think that a small aperture will increase the depth of field and make the image clear, which is a misunderstanding. The best state of lens imaging is to reduce its maximum aperture by 2-3 levels. For example, a lens with a maximum aperture of F2 and 8 has the best imaging when its aperture is close to F5 and 6 F8. But the final effect is often not ideal, because the use of small aperture will lead to the extension of shutter time, so camera vibration will have enough negative effects.

Safety shutter+best aperture+tripod = clear photos.

17, how to take a good silhouette photo

Spot metering according to the bright part of the background can make the subject seriously underexposed and form a strong silhouette.

How to use filters in shooting?

1, starlight mirror. The filters of Gaojian series 055, 056, 058 and 059 can form different starlight effects. In addition, some other filters can also be used for night photography, such as the REF059 soft cross mirror built by Gao Jian.

2. Soft lens. Soft lens is suitable for shooting some scenes with a certain contrast between background and subject, so it also plays a certain role in shooting night scenes. After adding a soft lens, it can make the junction of light and dark in the night scene or the bright subject diffuse into the night sky, which is quite strange.

3, overspeed mirror. For example, the 2 17 overspeed mirror of Gaojian series has a rising feeling, and the image is half bright and half dark, elongated, as if it were a fast-moving object. What if it will? Speeding? If this part is placed at the bottom of the scene, there will be an effect that the upper part is clear and the lower building rises upward in the night sky.

4. rainbow mirror. Generally, rainbow mirror is suitable for shooting the content of strong point light source in the picture. The concrete effect is that there is a bright spot in the middle, surrounded by rainbow-like light. But it should be used according to the actual situation of the picture, so as to avoid abuse and painting a tiger into a dog.

5. Polarizer. Polarizer is used to eliminate polarized light, so as to improve the color saturation in the picture and eliminate non-architectural reflection.

6. Gradient mirror. The gradient mirror is half colored and half colorless. The gradient mirror is mainly used to adjust the contrast of the scene. When shooting night scenes, if it is still early and the sky brightness is too high, you can darken the sky with the help of a neutral gray gradient mirror. When the sky is getting dark, you can change the color of the sky with gradient mirrors of other colors, and so on.

19, using continuous shooting to capture wonderful pictures skillfully.

Taking continuous shooting is similar to taking ordinary photos, but there are still some differences: the purpose of taking continuous shooting is to capture wonderful moments, while ordinary photos (such as taking pictures, etc.). ) you can take it repeatedly until you are satisfied. So, how to use it successfully? Continuous shooting? In order to capture the wonderful moment of the function, in addition to making the above basic settings in advance, we must also pay attention to the following points:

1, select the appropriate photo size. Because every time a digital camera takes a series of photos, it needs to process the data, and the final photos are stored in the memory in digital form (such as memory stick, SM, SD card, etc.). ). The larger the size, the greater the amount of data and the longer the storage time. Too long time interval will seriously affect the next photo shooting, leading to the loss of some wonderful moments. Therefore, there is no special case, and it is best to use a small size in the camera continuous shooting.

2. Make a prediction. Photographers must always keep their concentration, pay close attention to the subject, and press the shutter quickly before the wonderful moment is coming, otherwise they will lose a rare opportunity because of the delay of the shutter of the digital camera.

3. Switch freely between automatic mode and manual mode. If the ambient light is dim, you should use manual functions, such as shutter, aperture priority mode or full manual mode, and manually adjust the shutter speed, aperture size and exposure compensation. If there is enough light, use manual mode.

20, master the expression.

1, familiar with the topic. Before shooting, you should talk to the subject at will, observe and ponder the expression dynamics and appearance characteristics, so as to design the ideal expression in time.

2. Inspiration and induction. In the process of shooting, the dialogue between the photographer and the subject is not only convenient for the photographer to observe and think, but also can eliminate the tension of the subject, so that the relevant photographic information can be quickly transmitted to the subject, making it react and cooperate, and it is easy to show natural and vivid expressions. For the subjects who are good at self-expression, you can also urge them to show their best expressions by directing.
