​Ten questions to think about before you press the shutter

What do people think when they take pictures? This exposure is incorrect. Should I open up more aperture, canvas prints increase shutter speed, etc? I don't know if you have noticed that you seem to be in the habit of pressing the shutter crazily, and when you look back at the pictures you have taken, only to find that only a few of them really feel good? If that doesn't seem like a good thing to you, take a look at some of the things you can think about before you hit the shutter.

Is your shutter worth anything?

From the tradition of photography to the digital age, people are no longer limited by the number of negatives, but can press the shutter to capture whatever they want to record. However, canvas photos online this kind of "freedom" will also let some friends develop the habit of "extensive shooting" when taking photos -- anyway, shooting is right, let people have the feeling of "shooting birds with random guns". Of course, in the beginning of photography, it is inevitable to "press the shutter" practice stage, but as you learn more, whether to learn to avoid machine-gun shooting, try to press the shutter after thinking, let your "marksmanship" towards accuracy.

Q1: why did I do this?

This is a very important question, acrylic mounting online one that you have to think about in order to be accurate. In short, why press the shutter? Is this a beautiful picture? Remind you of something special? Or do you want to tell a story? Or do you just want to practice a technique? Give yourself a reason to press the shutter, give the picture more real meaning, through this layer of thinking to capture the picture, whether good or bad, at least have your thoughts in it, not even a soul is not inexplicable work.

Q2: what should be the visual focus (main body) of the picture?

After capturing what the image wants to convey, the next step is to think about the composition so that it will convey the message you want to convey. In this case, deciding the visual focus is the first problem. This visual focus is related to the presentation of the main body of the picture, and often affects the reader's first impression of the work. According to the composition, when deciding where the visual focus should be, manual selection of automatic focus can be adopted to ensure accurate focus.

Q3: are there any other "miscellaneous people" in the picture?

Having identified the visual subject in the previous question, it is time to examine whether there are other objects in the frame that might rob the main character of his style. If so, try moving your feet or changing your Angle to avoid them, or you can shallow the depth of field to make them less obvious to highlight the subject. When there are two subjects in the picture are very fond of, don't be greedy to want to take a shot, it is better to shoot separately.

Q4: what is the foreground and background respectively?

When taking photos, you should not only pay attention to the condition of the subject, but also the background. Whether there is foreground and background clutter in the picture, whether they should be taken sharp and clear, or it is better to blur them with shallow depth of field, all need judgment and thinking. If the judgment is wrong, it is easy to make the shooting picture "out of focus", and the subject cannot be highlighted.

Q5: am I close enough?

Sometimes when shooting some people or things, the main body of the picture is not big enough to be overshadowed, and why is the picture not big enough? Chances are you're not close enough. Take a close-up of the character! Close-up can reveal more order and detail of the subject, often leaving a more impressive impression. So, if you find yourself not close enough, try moving your feet, getting the subject closer to you, or choose a lens with a longer focus to shorten the distance between you and the subject.

Q6: what is the main light source on site?

Light is a necessary condition for photography to work, and if the light is not enough, the picture taken will lose a lot of detail and will not be clear. In order to get more exposure, you have to slow down the shutter speed or push up the ISO, but it can also be difficult to hold the shot or cause noise. So when you take a picture, you need to know what light is illuminating the subject. Which way is it coming from? Is the light strong enough? Do you need to use flash or other lamps to fill the light? If you can no longer fill the light, you can only lengthen the exposure time, whether you need to shoot on the tripod.

Q7: did the picture I shot tilt?

This is also a noticeable problem, but is often overlooked, especially when photographing sea levels or scenes with the horizon. Some works are good in scenery, exposure, focus, etc., but the only problem is that the horizontal line is obviously tilted. However, if it can be tilted into a "beautiful mistake", that is another matter. Rather than risk the luck of a "beautiful mistake," it's safer to examine your images.

Q8: what other perspectives can we shoot it from?

Faced with the same scene, more than half of 10 people may take the same picture, or if exaggerated, 10 people may take the same picture. Take some popular scenic spots for example, a keyword search; a lot of pictures may be the same. If you want to create outstanding works, it is a required course to find different angles. Facing the same subject, try to capture it from different perspectives, and you will surely find a new world of difference.

Q9: what if it was changed to a horizontal (or vertical) beat?

Some photography players may have some established ideas about the horizontal or vertical shot, such as the view that the landscape is to use the horizontal shot; portrait is to use the vertical shot and so on. While it's true that everyone has their own preferences about horizontal and vertical composition and subjects, it's not good to be "chained" to such preferences. When shooting a scene, you might as well take two different ways of composition at the same time pat look, and then to explore the different characteristics.

In the previous question 7, it was mentioned that you should pay attention to whether the picture you shot is slanted, but that is mainly for a certain part of the subject matter. When shooting subjects that do not need to be dominated by horizontal lines, you can sometimes try skewed composition, which may find unexpected effects and leave a deeper impression on the reader.

Q10: how does the whole picture look?

The subject is important, and the foreground and background are not sloppy, even if the foreground and background are handled in a shallow depth of field, because the overall picture is one of the aspects that will make the reader amazing. After all, when appreciating photographic works, people cannot only look at the subject, but also see other parts, such as the background, outside the subject. Therefore, the background of the visual processing is also a topic, good at excavating the scene there are lines, geometric patterns or color, to create a visual effect that can let the reader see WOW, big canvas australia is also one of the tricks to make the work out of color.
