Shoot different scenery materials with iPhone.

Have you ever experienced the beauty that can be seen everywhere in your life? When shooting the sky, I always feel that there is a breeze blowing in the distance, and the light leaves traces on my body, just to shoot different scenery.

In the App Store, there are many unique photography applications that can present landscapes at will, such as HDR, which captures more light and shadow details, AutoStitch Panorama, which pieces together the vast landscape in front of us into panoramic photos, and Cross Process, which gives photos dark corners and tones.

The light sense of shooting various landscapes.

Light is an important factor in creating an atmosphere. Try to bring sunlight and light into the picture all the time. The morning sunshine is full of elegant gold, the noon sunshine has a strong contrast between light and shade, the evening sunshine is rich orange, and the arrival of the night is full of sultry neon lights. The light perception is different at every moment, and the ever-changing light constitutes the color you see in front of your eyes. The essence of photography is to capture light and use it to interpret all aspects of images.

I like to take a walk at dusk, and I came across this abandoned wooden house showing a decadent aesthetic feeling under the climbing of light and vines. The sun shines from the edge of the picture, forming a particularly bright picture, and the positive and negative style of iDarkroom makes this moment beautiful.

In a day, the best time for sunshine is 7-9 am and 4-6 pm. The angle of oblique sunlight is the most suitable, the light temperature is softer, and it is easy to form rich colors. It is not difficult to master light. First of all, we should observe the direction of light, and think about whether the photo to be taken is backlit or sunlit. Second, the theme of the photo should be clear, and try to make the theme occupy 2/3 of the picture; Third, don't shake your hands when taking pictures. Generally speaking, as long as you pay attention to these three points, the photos you take will be clearer and sharper.

The scene in bask in the quilt is so lifelike. Although ordinary things can be seen everywhere, everyone's mood is different. Looking at these quilts, I think of the warmth of home, which is more suitable for dusk light.

Choose to stand on the balcony or the top floor of a high place and shoot the city covered by the afterglow of the sun without blocking the line of sight.

AutoStitch is used to combine 12 photos into a huge wide-angle photo, and Photoshop Express is used to adjust the contrast and exposure, so that the moment is full of golden residual temperature.

The fireworks show was filled with smoke because of a heavy rain, but under the unyielding waiting, it captured the sparks that flashed in the fog.

In autumn, the awn grass is swaying gently in the wind, and the sun is shining, like a beautiful paper-cut painting.

Looking up at the evening sky, the change of clouds is always surprising. Looking at the clouds as if they were swept into the stomach by the sun, the scene was really shocking!

Romantic Portrait Shooting Skills Full of Love In spring, deep love spreads on couples, and portraits in bright sunshine always look romantic and sexy, which makes people feel excited. But many models get nervous in front of the camera. How can we grasp the most natural portrait expression and create romantic and attractive works? How to adjust the white balance? How to delete the annoying messy background? NYIP's tutorial from New York Photography Institute will definitely help you learn how to take romantic portraits while enjoying beautiful photos!

No matter what kind of shooting, we should first review the three principles of the New York Institute of Photography. Then answer the questions according to each code, so as to ensure that you know what you are shooting and be perfectly prepared for 100%.

1. What is the theme of this photo?

Quite simply, the subject is the subject. But in fact, not only the person under the camera, but also her/his expression and her/her emotion need to be brought into the camera. Because this technology is about romantic portraits, not news portraits or headshots, the love and romance shown by photographers is the most important theme we want to express.

Second, how can we focus on the subject and attract the attention of the viewer?

For portrait photography, the best way is to enlarge the model so that it is in the middle of the photo, and the head and shoulders of the portrait are the best in the lens. Because shooting too close will make people look as if they are frozen in the picture, which will have a very unnatural effect, so it is recommended to shoot at a distance of 4-5 feet (1.2- 1.5 meters). Therefore, the focal length of the best portrait is within 85-135 mm.

Third, is the picture concise? Does it only include things that are conducive to attracting the attention of the subject?

The most common problem in portrait shooting is that the background is too messy. In order to avoid the later complexity, we should choose a simpler background from the beginning. If shooting indoors, consider simple and colorful curtains or walls, and try to avoid too many messy backgrounds outside. Don't skimp on a few minutes to get rid of those unsightly backgrounds.

Step 2: Keep the model relaxed.

The biggest difference between romantic photo and ordinary photo is to present the most natural love and romantic atmosphere, and exquisite affectation can't make a good photo. Therefore, it is the most important person for a photographer to keep the model relaxed. If you shoot a couple, you can make them talk freely, and then inadvertently shoot the sweetest and most romantic moment. Kissing or hugging will add the most romantic atmosphere to a simple portrait.

Be careful not to let your model give you a big laugh, because the effect often feels forced. On the contrary, asking for a smile in the eyes or a faint smile may bring out more romantic emotions.

Step 3, set the IOS value and shutter speed.

Keeping the shutter speed as high as possible will help you capture more delicate feelings. As for ISO setting, we recommend indoor 400 and outdoor 200. When shooting, the flash can be turned on or off, depending on your own choice. When using the flash, keep the other person away from the wall or curtain to minimize the shadow.

Step 4: Take pictures vertically.

If you want to concentrate all your attention on the portrait, vertical photography will concentrate more effectively than horizontal photography, which can reduce the appearance of unnecessary elements in the picture.

Step 5: Creative Romantic Portrait

Some funny scenes or creative designs can also create romantic portraits. Who says romantic love can only continue in warm and sweet scenes? Love can also sprout in joy and fun!

Apple's new patent and iPhone interchangeable lens

Apple's patent entitled "Using Different Lenses for Portable Electronic Devices" was published on June 65438+4, 2004 with the patent number 12/964626. The technology described in this patent will allow users to change the lens of mobile devices such as iPhone:

It provides a structure for portable devices, allowing the end user to change the optical structure of the device, and the device can also use the pre-integrated digital imaging subsystem.

At present, the iPhone uses a pre-integrated digital image subsystem (that is, a camera component that integrates lenses and sensors provided by digital image manufacturers). This method can realize the high portability of the mobile phone, but it is impossible to replace the lens and there is no interface for installing other filters or accessories. And the new patent will solve this problem.

According to the patent information, Apple plans to achieve this goal through a replaceable backplane. For example, the digital imaging subsystem without lens is installed on devices such as iPhone, and the lens is installed on the backplane. Both of them form an image system through precise cooperation, and different lenses can be replaced by replacing the backplane.

Now, a near-infrared filter is installed in the camera system of iPhone to block infrared rays. The new system will install an infrared filter in the backboard, which photographers can take off and take black-and-white photos in extremely low light.

Install the daylight viewfinder on the iPhone.

If you are used to taking photos with iPhone, and at the same time "infatuated" with the feeling of using viewfinder, then the daylight viewfinder may be born for you. Paul Anderson, an Oregon engineering consultant, can add a real viewfinder to your iPhone.

When you use it, you need to run the corresponding application first. A small viewfinder will appear on the left side of the mobile phone screen, and you can paste the daylight viewfinder on the screen. On the right side of the screen are some operation controls, including shutter and zoom. When fingers operate on the screen, you can see the corresponding actions in the viewfinder.

Although the viewing frame on the mobile phone has been reduced to a very small range, it can still be seen clearly through the enlargement of the viewfinder, and it still retains a certain resolution. As the name implies (daylight), this viewfinder is still useful for users who take photos with iPhone in the scorching sun.

This viewfinder is currently being patented. Although it is hard to imagine who will need one, if you are interested, you can get one for 20 dollars (about 127 yuan RMB) now. The official launch price of daylight viewfinder is USD 30 (about RMB 190 yuan).

IPhone and Face Time promote cosmetic needs?

PopPhoto recently used Face Time video chat to urge people to undergo more plastic surgery? Published an article on this topic. Robert Sigal, a Washington plastic surgeon, thinks that the iPhone may not only help people kill a lot of time, but also make people doubt their appearance. He said that more and more patients undergoing plastic surgery will come with their mobile phones and complain about their poor image in Face Time.

But in fact, there may be other reasons for the bad image in the video. Sigal pointed out that people are used to holding their mobile phones in a low position and bowing their heads during video, so that the camera will capture your "thick, plump" and drooping chin and neck. Most people's first reaction is "I never knew I looked like this!" " Sigal called this phenomenon "Face Time facelift" and developed a set of solutions to this problem. At present, most people who carry out relevant information are young users (because young users are more willing to use new communication technologies).

Once upon a time, we had to face our bodies only when we looked in the mirror or took some family photos. But now that we live in an era of photo explosion, it is not surprising to find hundreds of your photos on the Internet.

In this environment, it may be happier to be open-minded and ignore some photos. In the past few decades, those middle-aged people with "double chins" who can be seen everywhere have not felt the urgent need to change themselves. Perhaps seeing their photos often will make people less confident and turn to plastic surgery. In any case, it is simpler and more effective to hold your mobile phone (or camera) higher when taking pictures or videos.

6 tips for taking good photos with iPhone iPhone is one of the most popular "cameras" in the world, but not everyone can take good photos. But American photographer Travis Zhan Sen is different. His black-and-white city photography gives people a three-dimensional sense and appeal, which makes people feel that the photos are from iPhone.

Zhan Sen works in the financial district of San Francisco, and often wanders around the city on weekends, shooting nightlife. The photos he took with the iPhone were not only published in the San Francisco Chronicle, but also placed in the San Francisco headquarters by the iPhone photography application Hipstamatic. He recently shared some tips on iPhone street shooting:

1. Go ahead bravely

Afraid of ugliness? IPhone street shooting is the best medicine. Although many times there is an element of luck in it, you have to happen to be in the right place to take good photos. But the most important thing is to be bold. In my many years of street shooting career, I rarely encounter thrilling scenes. Someone once growled at me, so I told him to relax, old friend. It's no big deal to take a picture.

2. The light is too bad? Look at it in another position.

When asked what camera accessories Zhan Sen most wanted to add to the iPhone, he replied without hesitation: "It must be holding a flash." He said it is best to avoid shooting in poor light, and the key to taking good photos is good light. When I see that the light in one place is too bad, I will pat it in another place to see if the light is even .................................................................................................................................................... But what if it is really bad? Better not shoot.

3. Simplicity is beauty, and shortcomings are also beauty.

The best way to use Hipstamatic is that the effect is often unexpected. This App requires you to be very close to shoot because you can't cut it. When you really shoot on the street with iPhone, you will have a deeper understanding of the imperfect beauty. I like documentary photography. Hipstamatic now has many different magic effects to use. Many people think it's wonderful when they first get started, but when you are a photographer, it's different to shoot with different attitudes. First, go back to basics. Zhan Sen said that some of these works will be slightly modified with the Camera Plus App.

4. Try to put different things together.

Zhan Sen also admitted that shooting with iPhone, composition is a test of kung fu. You need to be very close to shoot ... I often try to find something to shoot, such as a horizontal line or a vertical line. If there is a building behind the subject, you can try to shoot with the edge of the building, and the effect is usually good.

5. Think of your iPhone as the best camera ever.

IPhone is really inconspicuous. Most people don't take it too seriously. If everyone is relaxed, you will get a more natural response. His method of taking portraits is simple: he just goes up and asks people. Sneaky shooting is sometimes more likely to annoy others. Zhan Sen will introduce himself, introduce his website and show people his previous works. With the permission of others, it is not difficult for them to change their background and make a small gesture for you to shoot. Kind of like polaroid. Everybody likes it.

6. Don't just leave the photos in the camera.

After spending so much time shooting, remember to print out the photos.
