The use of halftone pictures

The middle-tone picture is suitable for a wide range of contents and themes, which is easy to give the audience a real and cordial feeling. Using a digital SLR camera to take photos with intermediate tones can measure light according to the average brightness. Exposure should be as accurate as possible, and the tolerance of photosensitive devices should be used as much as possible to show more layers through images.

The alto works are dominated by gray tones, which are between high-key and low-key, with small contrast and rich levels. The image consists of white to light gray and dark gray to black tone levels. Intermediate tone pictures can be divided into two categories: one emphasizes contrast, and the picture is mainly black and white, excluding gray expression, which gives people a strong visual impression; The other kind pays attention to the performance of gray, and all levels of black, white and gray can be well reflected, giving people the impression of rich levels and delicate texture. Intermediate tone works are the most common tone pictures in photography.
