How to take photos when traveling and how to teach boyfriends to take photos of their girlfriends?

You must take photos when traveling, but how to take photos? I have a friend or boyfriend who can't take pictures, and I am very depressed. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about taking photos and how to take photos quickly.

one

First tell your friends the angle, light and composition you want!

Tell him what to shoot and what not to shoot. Tell him about your past position and briefly explain it. If people who can take pictures themselves are better, they will understand. If you are a person who can't take photos, believe me, even if you give him the same photos for comparison, he won't achieve the effect you want. Either it's crooked or it's missing this and that in the composition. However, it is still necessary to say. Otherwise, you will want to cry more!

Secondly, you have to be dented.

It is definitely not the photographer who tells you how to look good. I look good myself! Tell your friend the picture you want, and let him start continuous shooting (holding down the camera button on the Apple phone means uninterrupted continuous shooting). Then you walk slowly and find your place! I think we can stop filming continuous shooting. Then choose one or two photos you like from dozens or even hundreds of photos, and you will succeed!

Finally, you should be able to cut and retouch pictures.

As I said before, even if you take a sample and let him take it for you, it won't be the same, and it may not satisfy you. At this time, we have to rely on our own aesthetics. The rotation and shearing of bending are straightened, leveled and vertical. If there is something wrong with the composition, cut a part to change the composition. Then simply decorate the filter.

A "human flesh shutter" for selecting patients

I think this is the key to taking good photos. Most friends who can't take pictures are not interested in photography or don't have much contact. It is not easy to make a human shutter on the road, especially in the hot sun or snowy places. It takes a lot of patience. When encountering a companion who is impatient to take pictures, friends who want Mito can only transfer to the question of "how to take selfies during the trip". Personally, I think girls prefer to choose "human flesh shutter" than boys, because most girls like to take selfies and have a certain understanding of composition, and girls generally like to be photographed. You take beautiful pictures of her, and she is embarrassed to abandon you.

Advanced teaching

Use the time before you arrive at your destination to explain some basic knowledge to each other. Travel time is limited, and it takes time to explain the location of the site. For friends who can't take pictures and use cameras at all, I'll tell them the following first:

1. Get familiar with the camera first, mainly about where the shutter is, how to focus when the shutter is half pressed, and how to improve the exposure if the picture is too dark. Of course, most of the parameters were set by me when I was shooting. I think focusing is very important for beginners to take pictures. A photo with poor composition can be cut later, and fat or short people can be processed later. However, out-of-focus photos are unlikely to be used.

2, composition, explain some basic knowledge of composition, similar to the golden section, leveling the horizon, squatting long legs, don't put branches on your head, don't cut off your ankles and so on. I won't describe it in detail here, but I will write a lot. Let's talk about the main contradiction first.

C shooting point

1. Trust each other.

Why put this in front? I think we should correct our attitude before explaining the technology. First of all, you should trust your partner, whether he has never been exposed to photography or not, and believe that they will take good photos for you. Only by giving them more encouragement can you give them a lot of confidence and infect people with your passion for photography. Don't complain that one or two don't meet the requirements. Be grateful to those who are willing to take your picture. This is my favorite one in Morocco. Without guidance, I let my companions shoot at will. She caught me in such a scene.

2. Imitation.

Take a photo of your favorite friend first, and then let her imitate it as it is. Of course, there may be deviations in this process. Personally, it doesn't matter most of the time. There may be another feeling that the photos from continuous shooting are better than expected. If a friend must be exactly the same, then we should pay attention to the factors that will produce deviation in the process of imitation.

Different heights lead to different framing, which should be taken into account when framing. Because of the difference in height, the other person's vision is different from yours.

The camera is uneven. Please keep the camera stable when taking pictures and try to be consistent with the horizon.

Stay away, remember the position in the sample and try not to move.

The picture below is a good imitation. The first picture was taken by me, and the second picture was taken by my friend according to the first picture. Not exactly the same, but they are all satisfied.

Sometimes we have to imitate it as it is, because the plane is wrong and the picture can't have the best effect. For example, the following two pictures, the left picture was taken by me and the right picture was imitated by a friend. Pose said nothing but the model's clothes. From the perspective of composition, I want to explain that the ground produces a picture similar to the reflection in water because of reflection. The picture on the right is incomplete because the plane position is not low enough. At this time, I will ask my friends to take more photos of me to achieve the desired effect.

Improved effect

3. Shoot as much as possible.

You should have seen photographers take photos of models, and the photos they take are all a lot of scratches, so it is difficult for even masters to take satisfactory photos, especially in the digital age. If not satisfied, delete. Don't be stingy to press the shutter. It is divided into two categories: posing and snapping.

Swing. This kind is relatively simple. You set up all kinds of pose, let your partner focus, just press it directly. This kind mainly depends on whether you are beautiful or not. The purpose of taking more photos is to take a beautiful photo of a character from multiple angles and in all directions, and finally choose a photo that you are satisfied with. As shown in the figure below:

This kind of shooting error rate is relatively low. Generally, you can choose at least one out of ten pictures.

Bang.

It is more difficult. Set the camera to continuous shooting mode, you can walk around freely and let your partner press the shutter. It's natural to shoot like this, but it's easy to lose focus. Continuous shooting's team should check it out.

Continuous shooting's more than 40 photos, probably can choose six or seven. This way of shooting, there will be many unexpected photos, which will be more vivid.

Use a tripod.

This is also imitation, but with a tripod, you can reduce the chance of friends making mistakes, especially when you need a tripod at night. Of course, there is a remote shutter, you can take a selfie, but it is not easy to focus on yourself. Better have friends to help. Tripod is a simpler and easier way to learn. Just construct a picture and let a friend press the shutter.

: three

1. Please be as self-reliant as possible and know yourself.

When traveling, everyone was very busy and didn't have that much time. If I can't take pictures at all, I hope suddenly a great god can take good pictures. Is life too hard?

So, please try your best to finish all the work that can be done during the trip. Be sure to treat all passers-by A as super white, assuming they can't take pictures at all. First look at the angle, composition, light, where people are standing, the posture they intend to pose, and so on. In addition, in order to take good-looking photos at once, I usually take a selfie with a tripod or do a lot of experiments to gradually sum up which side of my face is better and which expression is more appropriate. If you can make up, you can also make up yourself, and you will feel much more energetic ~

This photo was taken by my photographer friend lantheLanci (she also has a beehive, you can search it), but my expression is hahaha. I think a little side smile can block my big face ~

Next, a very important step! First invite passerby A who wants to be a photographer to be a model. There are two reasons. First, many girls may not be professional photographers like me. Many times, there is a gap between the imaginary picture and the actual effect of someone standing there. Secondly, if it fits my imagination, I usually show this photo to a kind passerby. People tend to pay more attention to themselves. When he is in the photo, he will look twice. Hehe, maybe he can take an equally beautiful photo for you by the way ~

2. The method of choosing kind passers-by.

The best passers-by photographers should be those who carry SLR cameras. Even if they are not really good at photography, at least they have a heart that wants to love photography ~

Secondly, especially beautiful girls, generally beautiful girls are more or less attracted by their beauty. They have studied how to take pictures of themselves and naturally know how to take pictures of others.

Third, the choice seems to be more inclined to the big names of science and technology (yes, intuition). Because a photo that can be post-processed, the most basic thing is not to shake hands or focus. Tourists often shake hands at the moment of taking pictures, and then the photos are burnt. If you hand him the camera at this moment, he will start shooting without thinking and ask you which button to press. I guess he'll be embarrassed to hang up.

3. focus! Complete! NG encouragement

After completing the above two steps, the average good-hearted person should have been able to help take the first photo, but often there will be various problems in this photo.

First of all, before shooting, you can gently remind me to focus, "Remember to aim at my face (iphone)" or "Just shoot at the right time (SLR)". If you think this kind-hearted person is shaking hands, just thank him directly, because according to my experience, the big brother who shakes hands will always shake hands, so it's best not to waste too much time.
