Simple teaching materials after impulse

Most of the time, people buy a digital camera on impulse, and because of the first three thousand new photos, most of the cameras are shelved. Why? One important reason is that you didn't take exciting and amazing photos. You do not have a good PP to upload to the Internet, so you cannot share it with friends, so you have no confidence or interest. We cannot rule out that you have tried to: you will see the operation guide provided by the camera when you take the time to read it. You also went to multiple websites to collect a lot of professional technologies or skills ...... However, this is rarely helpful to you. Especially for those who want to maintain "just-in-the-box, simple and happy" experience, the technical or equipment requirements are clearly too far away from you.
Always remember that there is a motto in the photography field: first-class photography depends on ideas, second-class photography relies on technology, and third-class photography relies on equipment.So don't be frustrated with your only dummies digital camera. It's not an excuse for you not being able to make a good photo. What you only need to do now is to bring your mind to zero. Starting from avoiding common mistakes (correcting mistakes that you don't know or don't care about), you can learn some successful experiences or classic skills to "get your vision, align yourself with the camera. Photography is not as difficult as you think. On the contrary, anyone can take a lively, interesting, or exciting photo. The blank photography experience does not matter. The pursuit of concise operations, fast and easy to use is no longer a luxury. The following content is exactly edited for you. How did a good photo be taken? Press the shutter to start or end. The beginning is always simple, and the ending is very different. How did the fascinating and persistent photos be taken? What are their common secrets of success? The New York College of photography textbook gives us an answer: those works with a photographer's eye are always so classic and fascinating. More specifically, if your photo meets the following three standards, it will be an outstanding work if it is not classic.

1st tips: let your photos have a clear theme (is it a person, a static object or a thing ?) You need to clearly express it,
Rather than being ambiguous or comprehensive.
2nd tips: a good photo must focus on the subject. You need the audience to suddenly notice your subject, because this subject is what you want to express
Core
3rd tips: Make your photos more concise. All the elements that cannot render your subject or even distract you must be compressed or excluded.

Digital photography techniques
Many photographers in the world are famous for taking pictures. In their photos, you feel that the person you are taking is "telling" a story or expressing a feeling for you. Why do we often see pictures around us unappealing? This is the reason for many cases. Whether it's a single portrait or a multi-person shooting, before we let the characters pass the gods (or tell stories), we should first look at what we often do and try to change it.

1 portrait
1) A simple method to prevent portrait Deformation:
Some top photographers intentionally make portraits distorted when taking portraits of big people. This is a high-level artistic expression. For mass photography, portrait deformation is a low-level and fatal mistake.
4th tips: a simple way to keep portraits unchanged is to keep the distance from the positions of the person to be taken and try not to use a wide angle mirror,
A portrait photo can be taken in 80-90mm shots.
2) how to obtain the shortest depth to highlight a character:
If the scenes around the subject cannot help or set off the subject as "Telling Stories", we should try to cut out or blur the background.
5th tips: The method for obtaining a shortest depth (blurring the background of the subject) is to use a large aperture and a long focal length (if possible ),
Let the person stand as far away as possible from the background.
3) make your shooting object more natural
"When I was shooting someone, I always wanted to avoid the way they were being shot ." The famous photographer John loengard said. Obviously, it is important to relax in the shooting. When a person is relaxed, his or her emotions are more natural. If the person in his or her life is not captured (or sniped), the person in the face of the camera is often awkward (not natural), which requires communication, let him/her forget to take the photo.
4) POSE essentials:
The help of environmental items and posture helps to make the image more vivid and not dull.
6th tips: Let the shooting object stand, bend, rely on, sit down or lie down according to the scene.
7th tips,
Touch the neck, pull the shirt, your arm, cross waist, put your thigh, and your feet (such as pulling your shoelaces). In short, the hand movements can be freely explored throughout the body,
The core is to maintain nature and help express emotions. In addition, you can also obtain items such as hats, glasses, scarves, books, cigarettes,
Football, flowers, and so on, to activate photos, make the image more vivid.
8th tips: when shooting a single POSE portrait, pay special attention to the object's head and shoulders. Generally, the head and body should not be in a straight line,
Shoulder and feet should not be parallel.
9th strokes: when a single portrait is taken, the photographer's day distance from the person to be taken to avoid deformation of the person. In the diagram, the diagonal line is usually the safest way.
10th tips: if the subject is difficult to pose, dress, or body, try to take a photo as a photo or a big photo,
At this time, the table of the object to be taken is the only one you should grasp.
5) portrait shooting in special light (Sun, night, and background light)
11th tips
When shooting a person, the exposure of sunlight to the lens may degrade the optical elements, thereby compromising the image effect. When backlight shooting is required,
You only need to block the shadow in the lens, and not let the shadow objects (such as hats and palms) into the screen.
It is difficult to photograph portraits in night views. Poor PP is not clearly visible in the dark, but is caused by the flash of life,
The background is dim.

For beginners, there are three simple ways to mitigate conflicts.
12th tips: First adjust the sensitivity and turn off the Flash (force no flash, except for the camera's flash system); second, let the recipient try to be in a light
In a bright environment (such as under a street lamp), keep your posture unchanged. At last, use a slow shutter (preferably with a tripod) to take a picture of the exposure.
13th tips: the background light is usually supplemented with a flashlight to make the foreground portrait brighter. If it can be used with a scattering flashlight, the effect will be softer. When taking indoor photos,
Set the exposure with a bright background. If the flashlight is not enabled, the imaging subject will be dark and unclear. If only the subject is set for exposure, the flashlight will be enabled, and the main background will be
The exposure is also insufficient. To achieve the natural effect, you can first measure the exposure of the bright background outside the window to 1/125, f8, and then in the main body (Shoulder position)
Use the f8 scattering flash to balance indoor and outdoor exposures.

Capture and multi-person photo
1. Why is capturing more attractive?
In a natural (or casual) state, the following table shows the most authentic demeanor. In the eyes of photographers, some people refer to it as "truth ". Many outstanding photographic works are captured, whether taken by a single person or multiple people. In real life, many photographers are confused about nothing to do, because beginners have not really opened their hearts and turned their cameras around and live their lives.
14th strokes: capture the facial expressions and relationships of the people inside and outside the event at the street, theme activity place, or emergency event. Pay attention not to flash,
Quiet shooting, multi-purpose telefocus lens, better ambush shooting effect. The capturing speed can be trained, but it can capture touching works,
The true meaning lies in consciousness, feelings, and discovery.

Natural posture and creative styling
1) in daily life, friends gathering, family reunion, and children growth will inevitably be taken to commemorate and record the atmosphere. This conscious shooting activity makes it natural to POSE the person to be photographed.
15th tips: taking a group photo in your life is not only your first consideration, but also a reflection of the relationship between people.
2) Apart from taking a photo in the natural posture, all dramatic creative POSE photos can bring a pleasant and new look. The successful Creative posture is inspired by understanding and creativity in life. There is no set of patterns to teach everyone to make creative POSE, but you can try more.

Travel scenery photography skills
It is undeniable that some people buy digital cameras for traveling scenery. However, the fact tells us that a large number of people are shooting a breeze, and it is even harder to say that it is a collection. One of the core reasons is that most people are also common faults-they are lost in a dazzling landscape and cannot focus on a scenery or landscape, the view gave him the feeling that he was not aware (or couldn't grasp), and it was more difficult to design a position (CAMERA positioning) and a picture to highlight the artistic conception or topic of the scenery.
1. What impressed you and how did you express it (subject )?
Chris Steyr 1 Pa kins usually does not take the "sweet and cool work of the spring and snow". Coincidentally, British photographer Joe Kony also advocates taking the scenery more thoughtful, he said: "only with special efforts can we go beyond the actual content of photography to convey emotion, vigor and passion, and even the metaphor and symbolic meaning."
16th tips,
Feel this subject silently and use an adjective to summarize it. For example, shoot a solid bridge and shoot an ancient village,
Take a quiet lake, take a sultry vegetable market, take a sad mother, take a lazy dog ......
The importance of shooting angle (CAMERA positioning) in landscape photography landscape photographers have a mantra: "Good photos come out and wait ." With professionalism, we can see how important the angle (CAMERA positioning) is for landscape photography. Angle is usually divided into three types, the most flat, followed by the back-up and Pat.
17th tips: The angle is used to highlight the subject. As mentioned above, "adjectives". If this angle reflects the topic (artistic conception ),
So we can use this angle, no matter how far it will take. For example, shoot waterfall, three aspects clearly show the surging waterfall (yangpai ),
Waterfall is wide (angular) and brilliant (micro-prone ).

Several Typical diagrams are introduced.
To a large extent, the composition determines the implementation of the shooting subject and the success or failure of the work. A graph refers to how to arrange people, scenes, and things on the screen to achieve the optimal layout. It is a combination of images and the sum of all the means to prompt the image. For beginners of photography, this sounds quite complicated. Here we will briefly describe the basic architecture.
18th strokes: under the premise of determining the subject and determining the artistic conception, there are usually well-shaped, triangular, oblique, vertical, diagonal,
There are several horizontal and curved methods.
19th tips: appropriate use of golden splitting. For beginners, the learning and application of golden splitting techniques are essential.
The cut chart is also called the "Three-three cross method". In the intersection, the "Golden split point" shows that the subject is usually practical and perfect.
Most of the dummies focus on center auto-focus imaging, and how to highlight the foreground (such as portraits) in the golden split location becomes a challenge.
This requires the application of the semi-shutter technique (in fact, most of the machine operation manuals have a description of this practical technique.
20th tips: First align the foreground with the frame center (let the camera focus on the subject you want To take), then press the shutter half and move the camera,
Place the subject in the golden section you imagined, and then press the shutter to finish shooting.

More suitable positions and zoom
"Few photographers will give full consideration to the camera placement. In fact, only accurate camera positioning can produce a good picture. In any established perspective, it is necessary to determine whether the location should be left or right, and whether the front or back is slightly higher or slightly lower. All of this will affect the relationship between the subjects in the scenario, the obvious proportion, and whether it is within the valid depth of field ."
"With the development of photography technology, the performance of zoom lenses is getting better and better, and you cannot ignore their creative potential. However, photographers must understand the visual relationships, proportions, depth, and effects of different focal lengths on the subjects. Generally, a wide-angle lens expands the space, while a long lens compresses the space. However, this is a misleading generalization. Photographers such as artwolff, gorun rorwell, Jim bleden Berger, Yang yunth, and Neil benvi used 35mm cameras to produce impressive photos. For landscape photography, selecting an extreme lens is usually a mistake. A wide-angle, standard, and short camera is usually enough ."

Imaging procedure in different ambient light
Some people refer to photography as learning to process light, which shows how important light is for perfect imaging. Aside from the importance of theme and composition (content layout), most of us are eager to improve our imaging quality. The factors that determine the imaging quality are nothing more than ambient light, camera and lens grades, and photographer's operational skills. As you know: as a common public, it is impossible to complete timely and high-quality shooting and operations without human lighting, cameras, or lenses.

Skills become more and more important.
I have to admit that it is almost impossible for a silly digital camera to complete quality imaging in difficult ambient light. Most of today's entry-level digital cameras also provide semi-manual functions, technologies that help improve imaging quality, such as "aperture", "Shutter", "Exposure Compensation EV", "ISO sensitivity", and "White Balance", will ultimately make your photos lifelike. For beginners of photography, the above technologies (concepts) will inevitably be unfamiliar, here we will briefly explain how "aperture", "Shutter", "Exposure Compensation EV", "ISO sensitivity", and "White Balance" affect photo imaging: we compare "imaging" to "Water Injection". The aperture size is like the water pipe size. "Shutter" refers to the irrigation time, and "Exposure Compensation" refers to making the water pipe small and big, the sensitivity refers to the depth of a bucket. the shallow water volume of a bucket requires less light sensitivity, which is easier for imaging ). Insufficient Exposure means that the amount of water is not full, and excessive exposure means that the amount of water is excessive. Taking a photo, you can adjust variables such as "aperture", "Shutter", "Exposure Compensation EV", and "ISO sensitivity" to fill a bucket of water, you can adjust the pipe size, length of time, card size, and the depth of the bucket. The "White Balance" control is to adjust the image so that the color of the photos taken in various light conditions is the same as that of the scenes seen by the human eye. Digital cameras generally provide automatic white balance and a variety of modes such as Taiyang, cloudy, incandescent, and fluorescent. Beginners can select the corresponding white balance mode based on the light environment. If you want to make it easier, you can select the automatic white balance mode.

Common outdoor light processing techniques:
1. Shooting in the hot sun:
Generally, portraits and Panoramic photos are not suitable in this case, because the light is too bright and macro shooting is a great opportunity.

21st tips: We recommend that you use a small aperture and exposure compensation to reduce the sensitivity by 1-2, and adjust the White Balance in the sun-day mode.
Better performance with a hood.
2. Night View skills
22nd tips: a stable tripod is essential. Try to manually align the focus on bright scenes, and then lock the focal length for the diagram,
Use less automatic white balance, try to use "Daytime" or "Outdoor" mode, force no flash, use aperture first exposure is relatively safe;
If you have a hood, the effect is better.
3. snow scene skills
23rd tips: Adjust the white balance manually at the white object, and adjust the exposure compensation level to 1-2 depending on the white area. If you have installed the UV mirror, you can avoid the blue color.

4. Rainy day tips:
When shooting in rainy days, excessive exposure often occurs. Generally, you can reduce the exposure to avoid the image being dimmed.
24th strokes: large aperture, high sensitivity, shutter generally to use 1/30 seconds to 1/60 seconds speed as well, can emphasize the rain landing dynamic;
The background of objects such as the gray wall, green trees, mountains, dark buildings, and caves is better.
5. Common indoor lighting operation skills:
Due to the limitation of lighting, the brightness of the indoor light is much lower than that of the outdoor light. The source and color temperature of the indoor light are different,
Whether there is shelter in the lighting area or not will directly affect the nature of the indoor light, making the light more complex.

6. Other techniques of landscape photography:

1) Use of a tripod
"You can also take scenery photos without a tripod, but most of the successful landscape pictures are taken with a tripod. It is an important basic skill to be proficient in the use of a tripod to ensure stability, safety, and correctness in the wind ."
2) awareness of Exposure Control Effect
"Most Photography enthusiasts have already mastered shutter speed, aperture setting, and focusing, but they do not fully understand and understand 1.1 straight away: aperture and shutter not only enable you to take a clear picture of the exposure, but it is also an important creation tool. In landscape photography, it is necessary to test and explore the creative potential of aperture, shutter and Focal Length Control to build confidence and enhance understanding ."
3) another method for scenic spots
25th tips: take distinctive photos at famous resorts to show interesting stories (themes ).

Sports and close-up photography skills
The proper use of shutter makes motion images more appealing. Most photographers use images to show the power, speed, and life. Close-up is also an artistic expression in photography. Transmit information locally and describe the topic in detail. The difficulty lies in the selection of questions. Those with agile thinking and motivation can use this concise method to render theme, trigger association, and obtain more outstanding works.

Motion photos are the art of Shutter
Fast shutter use: high-speed shutter SOLIDIFICATION
26th strokes: take more intense motion photos. It is recommended to take images at the climax of the motion. Pay attention to the facial expressions of the subject (character). The light should be bright,
Usually, high-speed motion scenarios that are invisible to the naked eye are suitable for fast shutter use. Shutter use: Low-speed shutter creates Motion

27th tips: use a combination of slow shutter and follow-up shooting techniques or zoom shooting techniques to make the motion subject clear on the screen and pass through on the background
Or a radial line around the subject, you can strong the movement of the subject.

Digital macro shooting skills
28th tips: During shooting, you should carefully select the focal plane position and put the details to be shown in a plane as much as possible,
And make the plane parallel to the back of the camera.

29th tips: to control the direction and quality of light, we should try to avoid direct sunlight when shooting the Macro. This will easily produce a high contrast and erase some details.

Telephoto close-up shooting skills
30th tips: Use a high shutter speed (preferably higher than 1/200 seconds) during shooting, and use a tripod if the light is insufficient.
If the object is an animal or a person, we need to highlight its close-up. If a theme is a static object, it highlights its unique characteristics,
For example, if a mountain is illuminated by the morning light, we will take a picture of it.

Travel Portrait Photography Skills 1 (post)
With the popularization of digital cameras, it is believed that there are no more tourists traveling without cameras. Therefore, tourism photography becomes the most popular during the Golden Week.
In Travel photography, portrait shooting is a very important part. After all, everyone wants to leave their memories in the beautiful scenery.
Based on different shooting purposes, we can divide travel portrait photography into two categories, one is the commemorative nature of tourism "here a tour" shooting; the other is the use of scenes to set off the artistic portraits of theme figures. For most tourists, their travel portrait photography is generally a commemorative "here" type. Although it is very simple to take photos of the "here for a tour" type, in the landscape, as long as a person is standing in front of the camera, you can press the shutter, however, it is also worth noting that you should take a tour of this kind of commemorative photos.

Let's take a look at the selection of equipment. For tourists traveling on the National Day, most of them use portable cameras.
Lightweight, carrying around does not add much weight to your luggage. Therefore, for non-professional or general Photography enthusiasts, a portable digital camera with manual functions is sufficient, but because cameras are frequently used during travel, therefore, the persistence of the camera battery is better than the camera durability. Otherwise, when you arrive at the scenic spot and want to take photos, the camera suddenly loses power or suffers a fault. This is a disappointing and regrettable thing. So, the best camera for taking travel commemorative photos of the "here for a tour" type should be a small shape, long-lasting power, stable quality, with a tripod plug-in and certain manual functions (or a rich set of scenario modes)) and don't forget to bring a large-capacity storage card or digital companion. Taking into account selfies or group photos, it is recommended that you bring a portable tripod while traveling-if your luggage is not heavy, if you do not carry a tripod and are traveling alone, when taking commemorative photos for this tour, you have to bother others. OK! How can I take a commemorative photo before getting to a charming attraction? The simplest way is to go to the front of the camera for a visit-but if you want to come up with a good travel commemorative photo, you still need to pay attention to the skills:

1. Where should I take the photo?
This problem is the issue of landscape selection. Generally, the selected scenery is the most typical and representative scenery in the local area. When we travel to a place, there is always one or several iconic scenic spots in the local area, this is different from other places. For example, Beijing has the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the White Tower and the Temple of Heaven, and Hangzhou has the West Lake pepper Tower, the three tan inyue, the Liuhe tower and the small continent; there are Oriental Pearl Tower, Nanjing Road, the Bund, and Yuyuan Lake pavilions in Shanghai, and Zhongshan mausoleum, Qinhuai River, and Penghu in Nanjing ...... Even small cities or small tourist sites have their "unique" characteristics, which requires photographers to arrange their subjects in this unique scenic spot. As a photo of the "here for a tour" type, if the selected scenic spot is not a distinctive local scene, it simply does not show that you have traveled here. Of course! In addition to scenic spots and monuments, the stations, docks, and airports in the new place are also worth taking pictures. cars, trains, ships, in-house and outside scenes of airplanes are all worth taking. Even if the local scenery is not very "on the mirror", it is worth watching.

2. Should I be right or left? What? Step forward?
This is also a question about the combination of figures and scenes. I have seen many photos of "here for a tour", and the location of the characters in the film is not very suitable. The key here is that the location of the characters must be properly arranged. In order to highlight the characters in some photos, I cannot think of it because the position of the characters blocks the most distinctive things in the scenery. Some photos emphasize the scenery too much, the photographer is too close to the scene and too far away from the camera lens. If this happens to be taken with a wide angle, the final photo should be taken with a magnifier to find the main character in the photo. Therefore, the position of the person to be taken is very important in the photo of the person to be taken.
Travel commemorative photos are taken with camera lenses. The standard lens angle is the same as the human eye angle. The simplest aspect of the perspective ratio is that the distance is small. That is to say, imaging close to the lens is large, while imaging far away from the lens is small. How to arrange the ratio of person to scene based on this principle is the key to the success of photography. The subject of a scenic commemorative photo is a person, and the scenic spots can only be used as the background. However, this background is not a general background, because it is a "typical and meaningful" background and must maintain its integrity. The general relationship between scenic spots and people should master the following points: Scenic Spots account for about 2/3 of the screen, while figures account for about 1/3 of the back surface. The location of a person is usually arranged in the center of the screen, or 1/3 on the left or 1/3 on the right, depending on the complete picture and balanced picture.

3. Why don't you smile so cute?
After finding a good attraction, the protagonist also stood in a proper position. But what should she do with a stiff expression? It is not a standard photo. If the recipient's camera doesn't feel very good, then the photographer will make the photographer relax. At this time, telling a joke or making a funny action can make the recipient's expression fully relaxed.
The better way is to let the people in the picture concentrate on the scenery according to the respective characteristics of natural scenery and scenic sites. The photographer chooses the appropriate angle and time to quickly press the shutter, the feelings and demeanor of the characters are fully displayed on the screen. This commemorative photo is of great significance. Due to the wide and vast nature of the landscape, every detail of scenic spots and Monuments does not necessarily need to be taken into the screen. When shooting, you should be chosen to take some typical details or parts to make them more artistic. Although this is one of the common methods in travel photography, as long as the posture is characteristic, whether it is a single person or a group photo, it will appear very distinctive and commemorative value.

4. Pendulum? Or capture?
Pendulum is the most used form of travel photography. A family trip or group of friends, always arranged in one line or several lines. Most of the commemorative photos of "here for a tour" are the first to select the background scenes and then arrange the characters for shooting at appropriate positions. Although this kind of "insurance" photo taken by the means of manipulation is understandable and sometimes even necessary, compared to those who are traveling, the pictures captured during the conversation, however, seem monotonous and dull. Tourism is a type of interesting sightseeing and entertainment activity. Tourism photography is a loyal record of tourism activities. Therefore, whether the pictures are vivid and natural, and whether there is a strong sense of life is often the key to the success or failure of a travel photo.
In tourism photography, in addition to taking commemorative photos of "One tour here", you may also wish to adopt the capturing method, shooting without interference, for example, road, cooking, camp, picnic, bonfire, entertainment, hiking, water-related, conversation, diary, swimming, games, and evening parties, and help each other and other unique and Vivid scenes of travel life, reflecting a variety of travel life. In fact, although technically defective, a picture is more popular than a picture with no major technical faults but too rigid. Even after several years, this kind of photo can help you recall the voice and smile of people and arouse your memories of the wonderful travel life of the past.

Some basic methods of landscape photography

Most photographers are not keen on taking scenery photos. Although we believe that those landscape photos are almost the same, works of such themes are still being taken in large quantities. We use three-way rules to measure others' photos, and then integrate useful ingredients into our own photos. Sometimes we climb a mountain with 40-pound photographic equipment to take two photos, and on a car trip, we can use a dummies camera to take 20 pieces of film. Is this the landscape photography that has made us feel exhausted?

Some people say that shooting scenery is not as troublesome as shooting people. Is that true? Imagine the problem you may encounter when taking a "simple" Landscape photo: You have to suffer from the weather (good weather may be more problematic than bad weather), geography (whether the sun will definitely fall in that place), biology (whether the plants are in the optimal growth period), topography (the best shooting point is on the ridge that takes two hours to climb) .... Sometimes, all the tricks or techniques used to photograph a person do not seem useful at this moment. Of course, when taking flowers, you can use devices like reflector to achieve better light effects. However, if you want to light the shade of a mountain in landscape photography, you won't be able to make a light.

As a matter of fact, the landscape being taken is not completely passive. The key to expressing this subject is whether the photographer can make full use of his rich and powerful imagination. It is no wonder that so many photographers are only satisfied with taking some standard recorded photos, rather than creating true landscape photos. If we want to make a masterpiece of landscape photography, we should finally learn from masters. From their representative works, they can also clearly feel their following characteristics:

* Patience: a person without patience cannot be a good photographer. It is absolutely impossible to obtain the ideal light easily. As for patience, it does not mean to wait for the cloud to get confused, or reduce the wind power. Our patience refers to the fact that when you find a scenery that you think is really worth taking, and the shooting conditions are not ideal at this time, you will take the photo later that day, or another season, so it may take several years to wait for a proper shooting time. For example, Larry urrick's "Lily in the bay" is a work that took several years to complete. The author found the landscape many years ago in a park in California, but the shooting conditions at that time were not satisfactory. He hopes that the light will be soft and there will be no wind when the lily blooms. After several years of observation, he finally waited for the ideal shooting time. Urrick uses a 4x5 large image professional camera with a 90mm/F4.5 ultra-wide angle lens. The camera is fixed on a tripod. The image is taken from the ISO 50 Fujifilm Vivia film. The exposure time is 1 second and the aperture is F27. During the shooting, he waited for a few minutes until there was no white foam in the sea and then pressed the shutter to get all the blue water as a simple and bright background, added charm to the entire screen.

* Try all shooting angles: When you look at the scene and are intoxicated by the charming scenery, you will think that the shot will be truly valuable. Next, we need to further consider: the angle of your video is just a point in the 360-degree loop around the subject. How can you be sure that only the position selected by you is the best shooting angle, not somewhere else? A photographer proposed the concept of "traveling thinking". In the photos we introduced, we can clearly see the effects of these photographers using "traveling thinking. In order to seek the best shooting angle, the circle walking around the photographic body does not have to be horizontal. It may be a high hill or a small stone beach on the side of a river.

* Preparation: If you observe for a period of time, you know that at a quarter to six in the morning, there will be a magnificent view of the distant mountains. We recommend that you prepare for shooting one hour in advance. Take everything you need, spare parts, a flashlight and a watch. I remember that when I went to Kashgar for a year, I wanted to take a photo of the front of the atchor mosque. During my observation the previous day, I found that the front of the mosque was east-facing, that is to say, only good results can be captured in the morning light, but there is another problem that the ash volume in the air of Kashgar is large. Shooting close to noon will only have a misty effect, so I chose to take the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The results show that the sky is blue, and the morning sun is warm, which further strengthens the golden color of the walls of the atchor mosque.

* Be familiar with your equipment: changes in natural light often enable instant changes to your subject. During shooting, due to incorrect adjustments to the exposure compensation, or the automatic focus switch as the exposure lock switch, missed an Excellent shooting opportunity, these are all unforgivable errors. Therefore, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the equipment you are using.

* Take several more photos: None of these landscape photography masters think that using surrounded exposure is superfluous. Their idea is: as long as there is no problem with the method, it is possible to take the ideal picture. Sometimes, a slight change in the shooting angle may make the effect quite different. Therefore, you may wish to take several more shots at different exposure combinations and angles. If your exposure combination is reasonable, the photos you take will not be called "waste film ".

* Learn to take advantage of bad weather: mist, overcast clouds, and storms ......, all of these factors are usable. In fact, among all the best works we have seen, many photos are not taken in the sunny and clear weather conditions.

* Make full use of your own special imagination: not only patience, imagination, perseverance, but also half luck. If you really want to acquire the ability of landscape photography, you should always practice it ....... Sometimes you have to try to bring three-dimensional space into landscape photography, so that your work can avoid the disadvantages of being dull and lacking in depth.

* Do not ignore the effect of additional equipment: indeed, even if you enable the flashlight, it is impossible for you to illuminate the shade of the whole mountain, however, you can use the flashlight as an auxiliary light to show the foreground details. If you have the opportunity to take photos of such theme, you will find that although you simply add some foreground details, you will get a work that can enrich your imagination.

* Maintain a healthy body: taking scenery photography requires a considerable amount of physical strength, which is not what the child cannot afford. If you adopt the creative method of "loop thinking", it means that you have to take a lot of steps around the subject, and sometimes even take a big circle. Therefore, for photographers, wearing comfortable and hiking shoes is very important, just like the camera and tripod. Do not take a car as much as possible, because it is impossible to take excellent photos of scenery overlooking the road. People who are taking the first shot can pay attention to the fact that the scenes on both sides of the highway are always smoggy.

* Grasp the chart through actual shooting: we can say with certainty that none of these photographers apply everything in triplicate. Indeed, many photos comply with typical composition rules. These photographers know exactly when to break these rules. A good picture can only be completed through constant observation, understanding with your heart, whimsy, and brave practices. However, the principle of making a good picture is hard to figure out.

I. Sunny 16 Rule)

The "Sunshine sixteen law" is a method to correctly estimate the exposure values in sunlight when no metering table is available. Therefore, this law is applicable only when there is plenty of sunlight. Set the aperture to F/16, and the shutter is synchronized with ISO, or a little faster. For example, when ISO is set to 100, the shutter should be set to 1/100 seconds (1/125 seconds ). Therefore, the F/22 aperture should be used for photography on the beach, and the F/11 aperture should be used for multi-cloud photography.

Ii. Moony 11, 8and 5.6 Rules)

If you want to photograph the moon, there is a good rule. When the shutter is synchronized with ISO, F11 aperture is used for the full moon, F8 aperture is used for the Month of the string, and F5.6 aperture is used for the new moon.

3. Camera jitter rules (Camera Shake Rule)

When shooting with a camera in your hand, the shutter speed cannot be less than the reciprocal of the lens focal length. If the shutter speed is slower, the sharpness may be reduced when shooting jitter occurs. If you use a 50mm focal length, the shutter will take more than 1/60 seconds. When the environment is dark, use a flashlight, tripod, or place the camera on a hard device to prevent jitter.

4. Gray Card rules (Anatomical Gray Card)

Carrying the 18% medium gray panel with you is a powerful tool for shooting. But what if there is no gray board on the body? You can open the palm of your hand to the sun, measure the palm of your hand, and then add an exposure.

5. Depth of Field Rules)

When the object to be taken is relatively deep, the focus should be at the first 1/3 of the depth of field, because in this way, the depth of field after the focus is twice the previous. This rule can be applied to all kinds of aperture and focal range combinations. Remember, the smaller the aperture, the shorter the focal length, and the longer the distance from the object to be taken, the larger the depth of field.

6. Digital printing size rules (Largest Digital Print Rule)

If you want to print a large-sized photo, the size of the photo cannot be greater than the length, width, and pixel of the digital image divided by 200. If you have a high requirement on the image, divide at least 250.

7. Exposure Rules)

When processing digital photos, the most common rule is to ensure that the exposure of the highlight area is accurate and that the low-light area will follow him. However, when processing a negative slice, especially a colored negative slice, you 'd better add one more.

Quick Flash-fill Rule)

When your camera cannot automatically output a controlled flashlight, set the sensitivity of the flashlight to twice that of the film. If you measure the Light of the subject, select the whole aperture for the fuselage, and set the flashlight to the same aperture. In this way, the shadow area of the photo is lower than the brightness of the subject.

9. Flash Range Rule)

This rule is simple: multiply the distance by 2 and the sensitivity by 4. For example, when your flashlight is in ISO100, the valid distance is 20 meters. If you want to increase the flashlight distance to 40 meters, you need to increase the sensitivity to ISO400.

10. pixel doubling Rule (Megapixel Multiplier Rule)

If you want to multiply the resolution of a digital camera, it is very easy, that is, to multiply the pixel.

11. Action-stopping Rule)

This rule is based on empirical formulas of angle and speed. If you can capture an object along the axis of the lens with a 1/125 shutter, it can capture the motion of the axis of the lens in 1/500 seconds. That is to say, if an object is known as 45 degrees of motion along the axis of the lens, the shutter speed is only 1/250.

12. Sunset Rule)

When shooting the sunset, measure the light in the upper part of the sunset, but do not let the sun appear in your viewfinder. If you want to make the sunset look one hour later than the actual time, You can subtract 1 from the exposure compensation.
