Beginner photography must know these things

First, the new purchasers must look to want to take a good picture of four points

Read the product specification carefully

Speaking of the product manual, it should be the first thing we see in the process of disassembling the machine. However, it is thrown away by the overwhelming majority of users and ignores it. Little do they know that for the average family user and some photography beginners, the product specification is the best enlightenment teacher.

· Do not superstition automatic mode

For digital cameras, the parameter settings that can relate to imaging effects generally include: sensitivity, exposure, and white balance. The most commonly used beginner is the AUTO mode. In this mode, the above three parameters are all controlled by the camera itself and cannot be changed by humans. For example, in some large light environments, the camera's automatic exposure may not be accurate. We can perform appropriate exposure compensation adjustments in the automatic mode of the P file to achieve an ideal value. In addition, when shooting at night, if you use automatic ISO, the camera will often use the highest sensitivity to ensure the shutter speed, resulting in serious noise. In fact, we can properly adjust the sensitivity according to the light conditions at that time and turn on the built-in flash.

Second, beginners easy to make mistakes: regardless of the primary and secondary

People who often see pictures in the park, photographers and photographers are far away, and the camera used does not have a zoom lens. We can conclude that this will not be a successful photo. Because the photographer can't figure out what he wants to show, is it a character or a landscape? In terms of composition and thematic conception, photographs can only have one subject, while other content should be centered on the subject, play a foil role, and better highlight and express the connotation of the subject. From the outdoor landscape, there are generally two situations:

(1) Take people as the center. The vast majority of photography belongs to this column. Characters should occupy a dominant position in the picture and become a visual center. If they can further reproduce the character's inner qualities through expressions, actions, etc., it will surely make it worthy of permanent collection!

(2) Focus on the scenery and embellish it with people. Mostly used for special scenes. The yin and yang face and big black face “yin and yang face” refers to the portrait face being exposed to 90-degree side light, half black and half white. This type of shooting often shows strong dramatic effects, and it is not suitable as a living photography. Big black face is the result of underexposure of backlighting. If you take a picture of a person's back or side, you can achieve a silhouette effect. In fact, as long as the shooting, a little attention can be avoided to change the angle.

Third, novice learn how to grasp photography sensitivity?

Set the sensitivity

ISO sensitivity is an index of the sensitivity to light. The higher the sensitivity, the more sensitive to light. In general, when shooting a moving object or low light, the higher the sensitivity, the better. However, there are many image noise signals at high sensitivity, and the sharpness is also reduced. On the contrary, the sensitivity is low, the image noise signal is reduced, and the image quality is fine, but it is not suitable for shooting moving objects or low light environments.

A simple way to take good pictures without flash is through ISO adjustments. Of course, if you increase the ISO setting, the graininess of the photos will become more serious, which requires the user to be flexible according to the situation at that time. As we are familiar with traditional cameras, ISO sensitivity indicates the sensitivity of the film to light, with values ​​of 100, 200, 400, and so on. The greater the sensitivity value, the more suitable for dimly lit places, but it will lose the vividness of color and natural feeling.

Fourth, for the first time to play photography friends strokes!

1. Don't go back and think about what you’re going to shoot.

Imagine white thinking, not to use any conclusions to decide what equipment to buy. 100% of people will not ask themselves before they learn to drive which street they will not go to. A few red lights.

2, Do not be superstitious to make a certain subject matter must be equipped with a certain equipment, for example, saying that shooting portraits would have 85/1.4, shooting scenes have to 16-35/2.8L, insects have to be 100/2.8MACRO~~~ You will become a prodigal son. You can also shoot portraits in the wide-angle, and the special features of the telephoto shoots. The so-called shot is a portrait-head. Such advertisements are used to deceive amateur consumers.

3, the camera is used to create visual enjoyment, try to choose light and practical camera is more practical, of course, beautiful appearance, at least with their own appearance to complement each other.

4, the so-called lens to go to the horizon is best not to buy, because you are not likely to go to the horizon, if you have the conditions to go to the horizon, it is even more impossible to use such as the 24-300 lens shot something, and why? Ask a friend who has bought such a shot to know, they are depressed and may not be sure.

5. If you don't have any basic knowledge or interest in the basics of camera research, you may want to choose a digital pocket machine first. If you want to manually adjust the aperture, do not buy a fool machine. Do not buy a film entry machine. Because you realize that you are really getting Inspired, you will painfully spend a fortune on a better camera. This is the law.

6. The good-looking photos on the Internet, including the fine photos in the forum, especially the digital works, are almost always well-crafted in the later period. This is an integral part of photography. Therefore, in the forum, if you are interested in consulting DX, you should learn more. Where they sincerely tapped PS Dafa instead of interviewing them where the inspiration for pressing the shutter moment came ------ I mean, inspiration is hard to learn, and technology is common.

7. While participating in various shooting activities, you can quickly improve the level, but you can't further improve the level. Photography is the art of door loneliness. Whether it is portrait or landscape, it is possible to have unique styles of works that satisfy oneself with independent thinking. Therefore, My point is that if you want to make more friends, you will participate in more activities. If you want to grow your photography skills, you will try your best and you will realize your own happiness.

8, since it is to play photography, you do not have to follow too much dogma, you can first immersed in self-satisfaction, and then slowly accept the opinions and suggestions of others, after all, photography is a subjective art Well, of course, get more people recognized is Addictive enjoyment.

9, shooting portraits, do not start from the beautiful guy, that will make you kind of inertia. The real beauty guy how to shoot are good-looking. It is recommended to shoot from the old and ugly, and take such a model psychological pressure is small, generally You are not demanding how good you are to shoot, and they generally know that they are not very good at the mirror. Once you have done it, you have a sense of accomplishment!

10, in the photography forum commentary, for the novice, not to bluff DX, trying to get DX in favor of this and teach you a few tricks is simply no good, the correct approach is to take reasonable questions, with questions to ask questions ~ ~ ~ DXs often make every effort to clarify his creative ideas, so that it improves faster.

Fifth, the basic knowledge of novice to learn!

Composition should pay attention to echo and symmetry. This is the traditional Chinese aesthetic standard. Based on this, the composition of photographic works must also pay attention to the following aspects:

1, the horizontal position, so that the image shot will not be skewed, you can use buildings, power poles and other objects parallel to the ground or perpendicular to the reference, as much as possible to make the picture in the viewfinder to maintain balance.

2, good color balance, the screen should have a strong sense of hierarchy, to ensure that the main body can be highlighted from the background. Such as complementary colors, the so-called safflower green leaves with this principle. Balanced with the same color, people wearing black clothes generally do not arrange to shoot in a dark background.

3. The foreground has a balanced picture. Sometimes we find unbalanced vacancies on the screen. For example, if the sky is cloudless and monotonous, use drooping foliage to make up for the insufficiency of the picture. Sometimes the picture is under pressure, and when heavy and light are used, the rock can be used. With railings as the foreground, the hue deepens the picture and presses it into position to achieve a stable and balanced effect. The foreground uses the expression of virtual focus to give people a feeling of beauty. Using the psychological factors that people demand for balance, the expressiveness of the screen can be emphasized in several ways:

a. Symmetrical composition, symmetry has always been something that our nation emphasizes, a historical palace. The capitals are symmetrically arranged. It emphasizes a solemn and solemn atmosphere. The symmetry and equilibrium of "almost stability" shows a quaint and solemn relationship.

b. The actual situation is like a Jiangnan garden. In some lyrical scenes emphasizing quietness, demureness and tenderness, what is required is that the balanced picture in change can be sparsely dense, imaginary, and factual, but the overall requirements are balanced. In an idyllic scene, for example, there is a farmer in the lower left corner, and there should be a cloud in the sky in the upper right corner.

Sixth, photography skills: skills of life photography mode

The characteristics of life photography:

Real life itself is extremely rich. When people are out of work, they need to carry out various activities such as study, rest, entertainment, and housework. People of different professions, people with different lifestyles and gender, and different hobbies. These colorful and realistic life photography provide extremely rich material. The form of life photography is also very lively. Life photography is different from photography in industry, agriculture, sports, stage, etc. It has no more restrictions, shooting is very free, there are no rules and regulations, generally not subject to time, environment, climate constraints.

General requirements for life photography:

1. The true photographic works that reflect life are the real people in life. This is the reality of life. Although the reality of life is objective, it is a natural thing. It is a mixture of good and bad, and the beauty and ugliness coexist. Therefore, what happens in life is reflected in the photographs. The ideology should be healthy.

2. To reflect people's mental outlook. Life photography, like other types of photography, is a never-ending activity. Through the specific activities of people, they reflect people’s living conditions and record people’s life experiences. Therefore, it is important to reflect the spiritual outlook of people. It is also necessary to vividly convey the spirit. In some life photography works, only people’s appearance is seen, and the person’s heart is not seen. This kind of work is neither a true record nor the value of art.

3. Have a strong sense of life. Life photography must have a strong atmosphere of life. It is different from other photography creations. There are no works of life. The content is dry and the image is rigid. Therefore, the author must learn to capture real shots and avoid making and falsifying.

If possible, place the camera on a tripod to slow down, reduce the aperture, and increase the depth of field. Before shooting, you should arrange the subject properly, focus on the subject, and at the same time check whether the nearest person and the most distant person use the depth of field of the aperture. After preparing, the subject is predicted: “Attention, ready to shoot!” At the same time, observe the subject’s demeanor and wait for the shutter to press.

Shooting points: First, the use of side light, in accordance with the dark side of the exposure; Second, it is appropriate to use a small aperture, long depth of field; Third, the characters should not be too wide, the line of sight requirements are consistent.

Shooting points: First, the light available side light, side backlighting, backlighting; Second, the depth of field should be short, focusing should be real; Third, tone processing, because of people, vary with circumstances; Fourth, pay attention to the demeanor, and promote the capture.

Nine, teach you 22 kinds of practical special effects

With the acceleration of the popularity of digital cameras, many ordinary consumers already have digital cameras and experience the joy of digital photography. When we use digital cameras for photography, we often encounter problems of this kind or other that cause the photographing work to not proceed normally. Here are some reasons for the problems and how to deal with them:

1, the image is not clear

1. Although the highest resolution is used, the light is good, but the photographs are blurred. This condition is usually caused by camera shake when the shutter release button is pressed. Due to the low sensitivity of digital cameras, it takes longer to hold the camera when using a digital camera. To take the sharpest shots, you must hold the camera steady while taking a photo, even though the slightest jitter can cause blurred images. Treatment method: Hold the camera steady, take a picture with a tripod, or place the camera on a table, counter, or other stationary object. Then there is a "training" word, which is usually the basic skills for practicing.

The autofocus marker of the viewfinder is not placed on the photographed object. Position the autofocus frame on the photographed object or use the focus lock function.

The lens is dirty. Dirty lens can cause difficulty in shooting the camera and blur the image. Clean the lens with special cleaning lens paper.

Improper mode selection. When the standard mode is selected, the photographed object is shorter than the minimum effective distance (0.6 m) from the lens. Or when selecting the macro mode, the photographed object is farther than the minimum effective distance.

When the subject is in the range of 0.3--0.6M, take a picture in the macro mode. Outside this range, take photos in standard mode.

In self-timer mode, press the shutter release button from the front of the camera. Look at the viewfinder and press the shutter release button. Do not press the shutter release button before standing at the camera.

Use the fast focus function within the incorrect focus range. Use the correct quick focus key depending on distance.

The picture is too small and the light is backlit. Set the flash in the auxiliary flash mode or use the spot metering mode.

3, the image is too bright

Flash is set to assist flash mode. Set the flash mode to anything other than auxiliary flash.

Photographs are extremely bright. Adjust the exposure.

4, the indoor photo image color is not natural

The reason is that the lighting device affects the image. Flash mode is set to assist flash mode at this time.

5, blurred image contour

The reason is that the lens is blocked by a finger or a strap. Hold the camera correctly and do not block the lens with your fingers or straps.

6, the flash does not shine

Flash is not set. Press the flash to raise the lever and set the flash.

The flash is charging. Wait until the orange light stops blinking
