10 mobile phone shooting tips

Begin with the beauty of light and shadow.

Believe any of the charm of smooth shadow can't resist, just wander in the slice in the afternoon sun, canvas prints touched by the scene as if have fascinating magic, even the ordinary humble corner, all because of light and shadow cast and produce different from the previous appearance, not only successfully retain passers-by eyes, also to the line of sight away from it. Want to find a beautiful light, the time is not on slightly, the important factors that usually just avoid middle day instead of before and after about 4 hours each, appearances on sunny days, slice will meet charming natural light, because this time the sun Angle is low, the shadow of the objects to be stretched to form a beautiful and interesting dialogue between light and shadow. In addition, the backlight is also capture the beautiful another common source of light and shadow, photo on canvas whether it be a silhouette or a straight shot is feasible, but because of the mobile phone camera down resistance is generally poor, so if you want to shoot directly, suggestion actively looking for objects with characteristics of pernicious to light as a subject, and try to avoid strong light source (the sun), for example, appeared in the picture, to ensure the ideal image quality.

Try to simplify the background.

The shallow depth of field is One of the common gimmick with professional camera when shooting, whether the use of large aperture or long period of images from the lens, can borrow from outside the focal Booker features to make the viewer to focus on subject and object is easy to achieve the purpose of highlighting the theme, and aside from the foregoing such as light field camera or HTC One M8 double lens technology, general phone because is limited by the sensor size, and the focal length... Factors, such as hard as DSLR or EVIL patted the image effect of the shallow depth of field (unless it is very close to the subject, and the subject and the background have a distance), so how to make the body stand out from the picture, is before shooting will have to consider the question, the most simple way, nature is to start from the background. Background, in other words, just try to make simple, more can make the eyes focus on the main body, let you even if you don't have large aperture or telephoto lens, also can produce heavy have the image of "key", like empty desktop, looking for one side of the wall of clean, green grass, even in the sky as the background... The only thing to be aware of is that the theme and background should be complementary colors so as to avoid losing the effect of the main body due to the similarity of the two colors.

Develop a photographer's eye.

A good piece of work is not necessarily captured by the eye of the photographer, but it is a mystery to have a pair of photographic eyes to make a good work. Not at all! As long as you have the ability to see what others can't see, there is a photographer's eye. How important is it? From the limitations that can span the equipment, many people can even make good works with their mobile phones.

Find interesting compositions.

Maybe you're constantly worrying about looking for something to shoot, but have you ever thought about the fact that they exist around you and me? Like a journey, take the MRT to work every day, through the alleyway, stayed in restaurant, the cat on the wall, even tried again looked up at the sky, these are all too familiar and choose to ignore? But as aforesaid and curiosity, as long as with new to photography at the time point of view to see the world, you will find yourself on the daily life of the environment is not familiar with, actually because of curiosity will prompt you to observe to the corners of the past, and then, like Columbus discovered the new world, feel very surprised. Especially compared with the professional camera, mobile phone is small and convenient, you may not carry the camera to go out every day, but don't let mobile phone dust in the home, so when found in life or the corner that charming little really luckily, mobile phone is your best record tool, so the next time don't shoot bad excuses for yourself, instead of constantly looking for reason or complaints, rather than to realize life well, trying to find hidden in a corner.

Visualize the image.

Do you remember the kind of feeling you enjoyed when you were a child, especially in your childhood? Trees can be a giant, feet pen can form the plane, as the boat leaves, even the humble roadside stone group, can be turned into plastics batman base camp, grew up, although face family, work, affection... There is a lot of pressure, but it doesn't mean that we should lose the right to dream, and if we can imagine trying to inject images into the picture, we can create a different image magic. Of course, these imagine nothing, in fact it comes from our knowledge, experience and knowledge, or even interested in childhood projection, it can be a "concrete" can also be very "abstract", and no certain rules, take, for instance, the former mentioned those are the most practical example, often can be seen from the physical appearance, and then use "form" to enlarge our imagination; If the latter, usually contains the metaphor, the meaning, and how to make the audience can experience or resonate, is to press the front door must think of the question. Also, don't forget to pay attention to the composition of the picture when you plan to visualize the image, so as to avoid the appearance of the image.

Black and white is more attractive.

Today we see the images are in the majority with color rendering, it is because we are born used to color the world, but in photography in addition to color, "black and white" is the common rendering technique, even some people prefer black and white image even more than the former. After the end will find actually, black and white image is attractive, because after the fade color, color in the picture about complex messages will be removed, leaving the light and shadow, light and shade transition, the object shape, even the picture feeling can be amplified, make it like a black hole, devouring the viewer's vision and thoughts, let a person as if with the image into the time corridor, beyond space and time to return to the photographer to press the shutter at the moment of eternity. To use their phones to get basic black and white images to have the following two kinds: one is the direct use of black and white mode, the second is taken again after general image through the App to use relevant filter, but whether to use which kinds of means, should pay attention to contrast before filming, light source, shape and outline of these four elements, can be more refined, emotional atmosphere, and describes the details of texture image subject tonality.

The real world in the reflection.

I believe that everyone has the experience of mirroring. Everything in the mirror is the same as the mirror, but it is the opposite. It is like another real world, which is very interesting! The same is true for the reflection of the reflection in the ground water, the glass window or the peculator reflection, which we capture is the same sky, but it is familiar and strange. Use mirrors to shoot there are two main ways, will the body of the real subject and mapping includes her technique is one of the more common composition, the biggest bright spot is in two of the same subject, picture about whether upside down or on the contrary, can achieve the result that attract attention; As to another is only reflected the body of the shooting, this way of deliberately give up view of the real subject, is actually a deliberate and ask (province) of metaphor, borrow framed by reflection properties of the medium image, with limited pictures to tell the story.

Break the conventional perspective.

To be honest, this is a cliche. We all know that want to make a fascinating picture, in addition to the outside, starting from the composition, color, light and shadow on the arrangement of the perspective whether properly, to the success of photos also account for a considerable proportion of, in the face of the same scene, taps, standing from the top and grovel on shoot up to different visual feeling, because it's visual psychology has a lot to do with us. In general, Angle and shoot one of the biggest differences is that the former can let a person feel the present of small things, while the latter the contrary, will produce tall, large canvas prints dignified sense, so we can see your subject to mastering the perspective view, beautiful make the picture can be more in line with expectations.
