Shooting skills under various conditions

When you face different circumstances under different objective conditions, canvas prints the mind has a very clear technical ideas, through constant practice to master, to that point, can be qualified to say that he is a qualified "photographer".

How to shoot a foggy scene

Fog is made up of many tiny water point form so it can reflect a large number of scattered light. The distance is far more, the more scattered light, canvas prints online the brighter the color, the scenery in the distance, the more can't see. So the scenery under the mist, can clearly distinguish the prospect from the tonal middle distance vision, strengthen the depth of the space. The mist can cover up the chaotic background, neatly traced out the picture of the main image, improve the expressive force.

Attention should be paid to:

1. The brightness of fog scene is very high; large canvas prints the exposure should be properly controlled, so as not to be too sensitive.

2. Low contrast of fog scene, it is better to use slow and medium speed film when shooting. In order to obtain large contrast of film, the method of reducing exposure and increasing development time can be adopted to improve it.

3. When arranging your composition, try to choose short and medium views in the distance to show the depth of the scene. In the foreground, choose dark scenes in the daytime.

4. Fog usually should not be in the same time, because of its low visibility, in addition to close outlook, middle and vision. At this point, if add a yellow filter or orange filter; the fog effect can be reduced. Because yellow orange filter can absorb blue-violet short wave, enhance the capacity of light through. Such as to strengthen the result of the fog, blue filter can also be used or fog mirror. Fog mirror points 1 2, different concentrations of atomization effect can be obtained. If you want to strengthen atomization, you also can add in 1 2 fog mirror used together.

How to shoot a snow scene

Is the characteristics of snow, Snow White reflective are extremely strong, high brightness, compared it with the dark scene, comparative and intense light and shade contrast. This contrast series is far more than the tolerance of plates. When shooting, if not fully estimated to this characteristic, picture of grain and level will be lost. Take a photo or snow overexposed, a piece of white death; or dark scenery is not exposed enough and there are no shadow lines. Therefore, when shooting snow scenes, we should not only reflect the characteristics of snow, but also take into account the contrast between snow and other scenery.

Take note:

Use side light, backlight or backlight. When using side light or backlight, it is best to use supplementary light in the dark part. Flash, reflector or white reflector in the surrounding environment can be used.

2. When shooting, filter can also be used. In addition to the blue filter, other color filter can absorb blue and purple short wave, thus weakening the brightness of the snow. With U, V, or more commonly yellow filter, orange, red filter can make the color of the sky dark. Shoot color, more with a polariscope. Because it can absorb the reflection of the polarized light snow, reduce the brightness of the snow, to adjust the tone, and polarizer and does not affect the color of the original scene. Add a polarizer can make the days of the white cloud is outstanding, but also improve the color saturation.

3. The exposure, the main body as the basis of the exposure. If the frame is given priority to with character, should with the brightness of the characters as the standard of exposure, proper care of snow. If the snow is given priority to, should press snow brightness exposure. If need person with snow, can consider to compromise Numbers. In order to reduce the snow scene contrast with the dark, can be used to increase exposure, reduce developing way. Increased exposure can take care of the dark shadow grain density; this method can reduce the contrast of snow scenes to a certain extent. Generally, the exposure can be increased by one or two gears, and the development time should be no less than 1/3 of the normal development time.

4. The shutter speed should not be too high when shooting a scene full of snow, usually below 1/60 of a second to make the snowflakes form a line and have the movement of snowflakes falling. The dark scenery should be used as the background so that the white flakes can be set off.

5. The use of branches, poles and buildings with snow or covered with ice as the foreground can improve the expression of the snow scene, because these prospects can not only change the picture and increase the depth of space, but also enhance people's perception of the snow scene.

6. If the picture is only a single snow field and a snowy mountain, and the contrast of the snow itself is very small, then it is necessary to consciously choose the scenery in the background, so as to distinguish the snow scene from the surrounding gray-white scenery.

How to shoot night scenes

Night scenery mainly refers to the scenery under outdoor light or natural light at night. When shooting, lighting, firelight and moonlight are the main light sources.

1. Keep the atmosphere at night. Night light value is lower, and the contrast of scenery is large, to properly control exposure. So the night sky color should be a shallow black, exposure to consciously make slightly insufficient, generally in accordance with the normal exposure time reduced by 1/3 or 1/2.

2. Keep the real effect of the light. The night photography light source mainly comes from the light, so light, the light of the light to show the effect. The lights near Ming far, for example, its extension and the brightness of the light with the light source distance, as the auxiliary lighting flash to keep this characteristic. The available aperture control the brightness of the flashlight, feel the light with slow speed.

3. When the street at night, to render the scene of busy vehicles can use a long exposure method, let the traffic lights in multiple times on photographic film. Because the body is darker and in action, and so on the film won't be sensitive, and the car's headlights, will be marked in the line of light. The amount and direction of white lines on the screen can be controlled according to the requirement of the composition. Generally when shooting, use more lens cap, meets the requirements, such as car of action that can open the lens cover exposure; If the vehicle's direction of action does not meet the requirements, the lens cover can be covered to avoid photosensitization. When shooting, fix the camera on a tripod, cover the lens cover, and then open door T or door B (door B needs to be locked) to remove the lens cover for exposure, and use the switch of the lens cover to control the exposure.

4. Night photography can use a single exposure or repeated exposure method. A fixed camera exposure method is to use a tripod, use a long exposure time, with the opening of the shutter release control shutter. Multi-exposure method is on a plate, two more exposure, filming outdoor lights at night, often in this way. If need to and when lights can also be multiple exposure. When making multiple exposures to be careful not to move a tripod, so as to avoid overlapping images.

5. When the picture has lights, cross filter or star filter can be added to obtain the special effect of flashing and radiant light.

6. In rainy days, asphalt road or smooth ground can show the reflection of buildings and lights. If buildings by the sea, rivers or lakes are photographed in the picture, the reflection of water can increase the brightness of lights on the shore or around, and line up the outline of the scene.

7. At night, when using color film to shoot, lighting film should be generally used. However, if using daylight film, the color of the film is inclined to red and orange, which can better show the brilliant lighting atmosphere.

8. Now a new type of night photography lens has been produced abroad, which is equipped with an "image enhancement tube ", which is a component that can amplify the weak light to tens of thousands of times. Use 1/60 second in light moonlight; even under starlight, you can use a shutter speed of more than 1/4 of a second.

How to take a silhouette

Silhouette photographs show only the outline of an object, but do not require depicting its shading levels.

The following points should be noted during shooting:

1. Silhouette photographs can taps can be outdoors indoors. Indoor silhouette also can use natural light. In order to avoid the window arris that appears on the background or outdoor scene, should open the Windows and doors, the doors and Windows to block up with white sheets. . When shooting with lamplight, can hang white sheet in the middle of the room, the lights behind the bed sheet, shoots people standing between the sheets with the camera, or the background light hit directly to the white wall. Shoot color, also can add in front of the light filter, and makes the background color. In order to enhance the effect of silhouette, the subject had better wear dark clothing, to enhance the contrast, to achieve the main body prominent, clear outline of the purpose.

2. When taking outdoor silhouette photos, it is best to take them in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is at a low Angle and the light is not too strong.

3. When taking silhouette photos, the contours of the subject should be clear, and the profile should be selected more often when taking portraits.

4. The background of the picture should be simple, generally with the sky and water as the background. If there are other scenes in the background, please pay attention not to overlap with the silhouette of the subject.

5. The exposure should be subject to the brightness of the background, and only when the subject is seriously underexposed will the dark shadow appear.

How to photograph flowers

When photographing flowers, it is required to show the various shapes and colors of different flowers through photos.

Shooting requirements:

1. Since flowers are generally small, close-up accessories are often used in front of the camera to obtain larger images.

Here are a few ways to use your camera up close:

(1) Use lengthened skin cavity.

(2) Use close-up lens. The higher the value of lenses with different diopters, the higher the magnification rate.

(3) Use the close-up collar. The collar is installed between the lens and the fuselage, which can capture the image of the flower size or larger than the flower size.

(4) Some cameras with an inverted ring, the lens can be used in reverse, in a fixed shooting distance; can play the role of macro lens.

There are also some camera lenses with macro device. Such as the use of macro zoom lens, can focus in close range.

When using close-up accessories, due to the short depth of field, accurate focus is required.

2. In order to make the flower is outstanding, can choose concise background. The use of natural light or lamplight illuminate on the flowers, the background in the shadows, can be made into a black background. Also available in black velvet or no black reflective cloth or paper made black background. If you need white or light color background, also can choose white wall, the sky or a white background cloth, etc. Also can use big aperture, blurs the background, highlight the main body.

When shooting with a color film, a polarizer can be used to lower the tone of the sky and use blue sky as the background. If you want a dark grey background, add an orange or red filter.

3. In order to show the simple sense of flowers and delicate petals shadow grain level, when shooting than problems should pay attention to light and light. Generally use natural light or lamplight inverse or backlight side light, side effects. At the same time must be combined with auxiliary lights or reflector support the brightness of the dark, narrow light than contrast. Shoot the small flowers of the contrast, floating canvas frame such as cloudy days also can use flash to increase contrast.

4. Use developing conditions to control or adjust the contrast of the film. Particle developer or strong developer can be used. It can also be used to increase the contrast by insufficient sensitivity and developing over.
