mobile photography

The biggest advantage of mobile photography is that it is close to the people and convenient. Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone, so mobile phone photography is imperative.

Everyone will take a photo of life, record the beauty in life or match the picture with words to express their feelings in the circle of friends.

Usually, everyone will use the camera function of the mobile phone to record what they see in the mobile phone at will. This kind of recording photography is called mobile phone photography, which is just a recording function. The picture will not have any aesthetic feeling and pay attention to composition.

Mobile phone photography is not only a simple record of the scenery, but also requires the photographer to have a certain ability to use the language of the picture. I have understood this since I learned mobile phone photography.

Take taking pictures of flowers as an example. If you take pictures, just record them. However, if you know some theoretical knowledge and skills of photography, understand the composition of light, and know how to show it through the lens of a mobile phone, you will take different photos.

It can be a flower or a flower, and a macro lens can be used to represent the stamens in the microscopic world. In addition, it can also be divided into closed composition pictures and open composition pictures. There are many manifestations of light, which can be flowers with semi-transparent backlight or flowers with three-dimensional side light.

The single zinnia and macro stamens in the picture below are obtained by later cutting and retouching. A Gesanghua is the original picture.

As long as you master photography technology and understand photography theories such as light and composition, you can take beautiful photos and capture the different charms of scenery, food and still life around you.

Then I took photos with my mobile phone for more than a year. Most of the photos I took were the scenery of Lv Wanyuan, the food I cooked myself, and then there were some still lives and so on.

I have photographed the most scenery, basically all the flowers and trees in Lv Wanyuan.

When shooting flowers, the choice of light is very important. Generally, the light is best at eight or nine in the morning or five or six in the afternoon. At this time, the light is softer and less intense.

You can also choose side light. The flowers photographed by this angle of light will be very three-dimensional and full, and the petals can have a layered feeling and the outline is very clear.

Before I studied photography, when I took pictures, all I took were flowers. In fact, I can take a picture of a flower, especially a well-shaped flower. I should pay attention to the choice of background. I can take the sky as the background and the blue sky sets off beautiful flowers. The picture is simple and clear, and the color is clean and transparent, which will look good.

If you shoot flowers from above, you can make the flowers properly exposed by reducing the exposure compensation, and make the background underexposed, and make the flowers stand out in the picture by contrast between light and dark.

You can also shoot a crystal clear picture of beads, a fresh and elegant picture of half flowers and half cores, and a lively scene of flowers.

You can also use the macro lens of your mobile phone to show more details of the flowers.

There are also many ways to shoot trees, which can show the feeling of trees flourishing and covering the sky, or you can choose to shoot at a low angle to show the crown in an exaggerated form.

It is important to photograph insects with clear pictures. In this way, it is necessary to buy a special macro lens for mobile phones to make insects stand out in the picture and show details more clearly.

Choose the best angle to represent insects, like butterflies, and focus on its beautiful wings.

Appropriate light, shooting from far and near. Unlike plants, insects are always moving, so be very patient. I remember shooting two butterflies, but I couldn't choose one or two satisfactory ones for half an hour. Take a picture of an insect called "stinkbug" and stand still for more than ten minutes before taking some desirable photos.

sensitive

When we eat, many friends will take pictures before moving chopsticks, and then send them to the circle of friends for display. If we don't know how to take pictures, we will have an appetite.

Looking at photos now is before learning photography. I can't bear to see it, and I think I can delete it quickly.

The main point of shooting food is to arouse the appetite of others, so the picture must highlight the taste of food, or shoot a sense of beauty and an emotional atmosphere.

Exquisite picture layout, three-dimensional framing, oblique, vertical and oblique.

White tableware is the most versatile for the first time. Taking food pictures can also express different emotions and feelings, such as comfort, leisure and joy. When expressing a certain feeling, it can be expressed from the characteristics of the food itself, or it can be set off by adding some environment.

Food pictures can not only arouse appetite, but also be used for appreciation. Therefore, to highlight the characteristics of food and express the atmosphere of the environment, we must pay great attention to composition and light.

After that, you can also write some words you like on the food screen, and the literary style of the whole photo will be improved immediately.

Like to drink coffee, cold drinks and eat desserts, recording a happy and leisurely time with pictures and texts can also show artistic beauty. You don't have to show a strong appetite to shoot such a picture, you just need to shoot it very fresh and elegant.

The fruit should be fresh and tender, and it can be washed or sprayed with water, which will give people a feeling of water.

still-life photography

Although there is no life in still life, we can make it vivid and give it a different breath with the language of the picture to make it attractive.

The QQ expression pack in the picture below is made of plasticine by my former daughter. After arranging them, kissing goodbye, laughing, clapping and crying, it feels quite interesting.

Pay attention to the use of light and color when shooting to render the atmosphere of the picture. The arrangement and collocation of its pictures are very important. After careful arrangement in the early stage, then framing and composition, you can shoot a fresh and elegant picture. The following picture of cosmetics, when the teacher commented at that time, said that this posture is worthy of praise.

It is best to match the colors of the same color system, so that the picture is very harmonious.

It is also a kind of beauty to be strewn at random. When designing the placement position of still life, we can show its sense of line, curve or depth.

After mastering certain shooting methods and skills, mobile phone photography needs to shoot more and practice more. There are many good works, which will naturally appear, and quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.

Let's take photos with our mobile phones, keep more beauty and make it eternal.
