Enhance the visual effect to create a good photo

To make a good picture, you need to pay attention to many details, maybe you need to find a good composition when shooting the scene, and you need to take more care to control the exposure to determine the tone of the picture. Of course, we can also start from light and shadow. The changes of light and shadow, including color brightness, saturation, or light and dark contrast, show the space, level and three-dimensional sense of the subject. Here's how you can control the tone of the photo, the contrast that's created for different lights, or the contrast that's created by shadows, to make the photo more visually rich.

The meaning of audiovisual

The tone has two meanings. One is the change of the light and shade of the image. 2 it is to point to the depth of scene tonal, from this can divide photograph into high (high light), middle harmonic low light (low light). The mastery of the tone of the scene is reflected in the mastery of the contrast of the tone of the scene. The image quality depends on the image condition of the subject. The photographer can change the image quality by exposure, filter and other elements.

The silhouette is taken with backlight, and it can be seen from the picture of color removing treatment that the picture is composed of large-area black and light-color greys, with strong contrast between light and dark, and the picture appears concise and powerful.

Video is the source of vitality of the picture

The change of tone shows the change of color brightness and saturation, and the contrast of light and shade can show the sense of space, texture, depth and layer, and can show the picture or the feeling of tenderness or vitality. Rich tone changes and tone contrasts bring vitality to the picture. Conversely, a picture without tone contrasts will look flat, weak, boring, pale and weak in visual tension. Therefore, we should pay attention to the use of tone through light and composition.

Shadows keep things steady

Dark tone can achieve a stable picture of the center of gravity, the role of balance picture is an essential element in the picture. If there is no dark tone, the picture will appear light and weak. Shadows are darker, more saturated, and nearly black in brightness. When using the direct light photography, the photographer can include the shadow through the scene shooting to enrich the picture tone, so that the picture is more stable.

Highlights enhance the stereoscopic impression of the subject

Highlight refers to the brightest part of the image in the picture. Like low light, highlight is also an indispensable element in the picture. Highlights are the frame of the picture, through the point and line of highlights can show the shape of the object, shaping the three-dimensional sense. By high-light and low-light contrast, can make the picture level more rich. It's important to note that highlights are not overexposed parts, and that a small amount of detail also appears in highlights.

Shadow texture

The concavo-convex surface of the subject can be shown by light and dark contrast. The shadow in the picture can shape the concave part; the highlighted picture can show the convex part, and by the bright and dark combination can highlight the texture of the subject. Based on this principle, the photographer needs to make the surface of the subject appear light and dark changes, that is, generate shadows. In the light bit except the light outside will be able to make the image shadow, are applicable to highlight the texture.

The photographer used the side light with a lower irradiance to show the texture of the sand surface. The dark lines formed in the concave part of the sand surface, and the light and dark combination enhanced the texture of the sand.

Light and dark create space

The contrast between light and shade not only highlights the texture of the subject's surface, but also creates a sense of space and makes the picture more transparent. When the background brightness difference is small, the picture will appear blocked. Whether the bright color is kept in the dark background or the dark color is kept in the light background, it can reserve an "outlet" for the picture and make the picture more spatial. So in the arrangement of the background, the photographer should choose between light and dark background, with the light and dark contrast to break the dull picture.

The bold tone enhances the power of the image

Rough tone light and dark too fast, jump, black, white, grey levels, its tone changes as shown above. The contrast between the bold and the bold, the picture gives a feeling of harshness, jumping, and vehemence, which is suitable for the male and majestic mountains. Use hard light and side light to make the picture clear.

Light highlights light and dark contrast

The shadow produced by hard light is dark in color, with sharp edges and more reflections from the light. Hard light can make the picture bright and dark contrast is strong, contrast is big. The photographer can use hard light combined with the light Angle (such as side light and side backlight), which is easy to generate shadow, to form a strong contrast between light and shade. This method is applicable to show the majestic mountains and rivers. When using this method to show the characters, the main parts of the characters should be avoided.

The backlight makes the picture more colorful

There are more shadows in the picture under the irradiation of side backlight, and the tone contains rich changes from white to black. The picture has a strong sense of space and a prominent sense of being taken. The photographer can use the side backlight to show sparkling lakes and rough fields, and can also use the side backlight to highlight the texture of flowers and still life, making the picture rich and exquisite.

Fine film and rich picture level

The subtle tone changes greatly in light and shade, and the levels of black, white and grey are very rich in the picture. The subtle tone gives people a feeling of softness, ease and tranquility, which is suitable for showing the subjects like portraits and lakes. Soft light should be used when shooting a detailed picture, so that the level of grey in the picture will be very rich.
