How to take a good still life photo with a micro-single?

1. The biggest difference between novice still life photography and landscape and portrait is that there are almost no variables in the scene, and all the background and light are under your control, so you must carefully adjust and come up with the most creative shooting method to show the interest of the subject. \x0d\ 2。 First of all, you can shoot whatever you don't want others to shoot, and find out what you find relaxing and interesting. Secondly, avoiding some reflective materials, such as metal and glass, is difficult for beginners to control; Then slowly grasp the key points, you can compound the main body, put things with strong contrast such as talent, modeling and color together, and then Shoot. \x0d\ 3。 Controlling the light for ordinary people, it is unrealistic to buy a whole set of studio lights, but we can still control the light. First of all, we should use curtains and other things to eliminate all the disturbing light sources in the room, and then even a desk lamp can create a good effect. Try different settings, front light, back light and side light all have different effects. In addition, you can also use the natural light source with single window, which is also a good choice. \x0d\ 4。 Use a tripod to increase the depth of field by using a thinner aperture, which can clearly focus the front and back of the object, so use a slower shutter to make the exposure full, so use a tripod to avoid hand shock. Since you use a tripod, you might as well adjust several different angles, such as a bird's eye view, but be careful not to project the camera onto the object. \x0d\ 5。 Careful selection of background will greatly affect the feelings of the subject, so it must be handled with care. Keeping it simple is the easiest way. For example, a wall, a piece of paper or even a piece of black flannel will absorb excess light and make the main body stand out. \x0d\ 6。 Composition for still life photography, composition is very important, and the tension of photos almost comes from this. Trigonometry is basic, so we must think about what elements should be in the photo and what is the relationship between them. Do they set each other off or interfere with each other? Be careful _ choose the content of the photo and the settings of the object. \x0d\ 7。 Repeated shooting Because the scene is unchangeable, we can adjust all kinds of details until it is perfect, even after trying all the ideas, take a break, have a cup of tea and continue when we come back to take the best photos. \x0d\ 8。 Seek inspiration from the masters. If you can't find any shooting target or make progress, you can refer to the works of many photographers on the Internet, and more importantly, you can refer to the famous works of some painters in the past. These paintings can provide considerable photographic inspiration in terms of light, color and talent.
