Polaroid photography skills

What are polaroid's photography skills? As a new human, how could you not know? Come and get to know it together!

(1) Multiple exposures must be played.

An interesting feature of LOMO Polaroid camera is "multiple exposure"! Multiple exposure allows you to expose multiple times on the same negative, so that different images appear in the same photo. How many times to repeatedly expose and what painting to expose depends entirely on your imagination! You can blend distinctive patterns into familiar street scenes, or add beautiful objects to the silhouette!

Little secret recipe:

You can make your LOMO polaroid have multiple exposures, but beginners suggest exposing it two or three times to avoid being too messy.

Remember to pay attention to and keep the dark/black/silhouette positions during the first exposure, because the pattern will clearly appear in these dark positions during the second exposure.

Try to expose with different colors, so that the photos will stand out.

(2) Highlight the protagonist of the photo.

The instant cameras using LOMO are basically "fixed focus", that is, they can't be "enlarged" or "reduced", so the photos of new classmates may contain too many elements, which leads to too messy photos, which we should avoid when shooting!

Little secret recipe:

Move around more, don't just stand and shoot.

Before pressing the shutter, make sure that the protagonist of the photo is prominent in the viewfinder before shooting.

Use composition techniques to guide the eyes to fall on the protagonist (such as trisection, guide line, etc.). )

It is very simple and practical to highlight the protagonist by using the ratio before and after.

Color is very important.

Style contrast is strong and saturation is high, so if you can shoot more colorful things, or spend more time looking for different colors in the foreground and background, you can definitely make your photos more "Lomo style"!

Little secret recipe:

Pay more attention to colorful things around you.

Photos in contrasting colors are better.

(4) close, close again!

One of the "photography rules" is "close, close again! Not only does it mean that you can shoot closer to the subject and make the protagonist stand out (like the second technique), but it also means that you want the photographer to pay attention to the environment or participate more in the activities and events at that time, so that you have a greater chance to shoot interesting works!

Little secret recipe:

Pick up the camera and walk into the crowd, participate in the activities that happened at that time, and shoot as many as you want!

(5) Make good use of slow shutter

An interesting convenience of this camera is that it can take pictures with a slow shutter. The slow shutter can not only take normal exposure photos under LOMO light, but also allow you to take more creative works, such as taking light graffiti or dynamic photos!

Little secret recipe:

When shooting slow shutter works, you can choose to stabilize the camera or hold it slightly, sometimes the works will be more interesting!

Because LOMO Polaroid has no built-in exposure meter, the shooting time is "arbitrary". Set the aperture (f/8 {+2}, 1 1}, 16 {a}, 22 {- 1},

Try to use {C} mode +{B} slow shutter to shoot pedestrians or vehicles moving in the street.

(6) Use color flash to shoot special colors.

One of the attractions of Lomo is its unique color. In addition to taking "normal" photos, Lomo Polaroid can also change the color of photos at will! The secret is to use a flash filter. When using a filter, the original white flash will be converted into the color of the selected filter (such as red, yellow, blue, etc.). ), let you take photos with unique colors!

Little secret recipe:

When using a flash, the closer you are to the subject, the smaller the aperture should be to avoid overexposure. However, note that too small an aperture will darken the photo. Generally, you can use {A}. If you think the photo is too dark, you can use {+ 1 aperture}.

LOMO polaroid was originally equipped with various colors of flash film, and different colors will produce different feelings. Try the effect more!

Color flash only works on things at close range, so pay attention to let the flash illuminate the whole picture, especially the background!
