To create gorgeous oil painting photo

There are two tips about equipment selection..

1. Might as well from the daily ordinary things and more scene filming materials in mining, the main body of my photos are not very visible things, such as street of the fire hydrant, ditch the fallen leaves, site of the woodpile, park, iron chairs, old transformer room, food supermarket shelf, etc., are easy to be ignored, or taken at first glance the lack of things of value. But as long as careful observation, to start the imagination, you will find that it contains a lot of possibility and interest points. Many friends complain that there is no subject matter, in fact many photographs of the classic, can be found in the place you live within a mile of material.

2. When choosing the subject should be more focus on the concept of "local". Photography is about the art of "subtraction", its charm lies in using the specific lens and the Angle, there will be a realistic scene in refining and framed, and appears as a two-dimensional image on the film, which will be real scene "cut" left a peculiar modelling of "local", forcing the viewer compliance photographer's unique Angle of view, you will pay all the attention and interest of focus on the "local" modelling, finally found the implications. Therefore, from an ordinary object or scene mining uniqueness, it is to choose the content of the view, my photo is mostly abandoned the environmental elements, even the body itself is not complete, so some pictures will be has the feeling of no name), is to implement the principle of "subtraction" to the greatest extent, to eliminate these things ordinary part, and make the concept of people only focus on its extraordinary local gesture. Globally, in short, don't take things to take its partial modelling, beauty in things hiding in the local.

Second, the light

Direct light and diffuse light is I use two more light. The former can give photo contrast strongly contrast, cooperate with the late processing to exaggerate the contrast, suited to build a "mystery" or "thrill" of photograph, in relatively direct visual impact.

In general, direct light more can be found in the following, one is in the weather conditions are good at dusk, the fall of dusk, in particular, the low Angle of direct light is very natural, and a sense of direction is very good, you can pull things shadow was very long, is one of the best light. Atmosphere photograph at this time will be warm, but can be by later change color temperature, make it more accord with you want to express the artistic conception.

From the thick clouds the sky through the gap of light (the legendary "Jesus light"), generally in the heavy rain zha ji, dark clouds scattered easy to appear at the beginning of this kind of light can make god to work in photography, but can not find. Three mask projection in the gap of the light from the earth, for example, branches and leaves from the trees in the light, fully and roof window or door gives fully in the light. This kind of direct light in a specific environment or more common, but sometimes the light sense of direction is not particularly evident, need to be sensitive to capture and use, and implementation of appropriate exposure and post-processing, to highlight the characteristics of the ambient light and shade level.

Using diffuse light in cloudy at the most appropriate, this kind of light compared with the direct light, more suitable for performance subject state of all the details and things, although shooting the effect may not be directly under the direct light of sharp, but the picture is more harmonious and exquisite, to some extent, the late processing adjustment more space, also can create a striking works. In addition, humid atmosphere is a good partner, using diffuse light subject matters with rain or dew is better, I like to use the light and depressed atmosphere make take some pictures of taste. Backlight is also conducive to take pictures of the drama, but control difficulty is big, do not make.

Third, the color

My photo exaggerated color, friend is my photography a personal style. About colors, simple said:

1. Use warm and cool color and color contrast. Photo visual impact effect is derived from the comparison, it can achieve strong and harmonious unity of the best contrast color is complementary, such as white and black, yellow and blue, red and green, etc., are all I use more complementary color. In my experience, red and blue using well easily tacky, and yellow and blue is relatively easy to control, the effect more lively and fashion, I like more. The concept of complementary color also reflects the changes in temperature. In general, light warm color, shadow appear cool color, more in line with the visual perception of people, in the late shot selection and adjustment, it can be use to direction. In order to achieve good color contrast, color separation area is very important, in the late processing of the part.

2. The proportion of color distribution. One of the photos of different color can form contrast, the different color area how many percentage of each effect is the most coordinated? It is involved in the concept of equilibrium composition, I here recommend two kinds of distribution method. One is the average distribution method, if there is a variety of color is in the photo, and a variety of color difference, the most traditional and the safest way is to make the distribution of the various department than in the picture are equal in size, such as a photograph is contrast with yellow and blue color, if you can let the yellow blue two colors each accounts for about half of the image space, can appear very balanced condition. By using average distribution method is various department to the attention of the gap should be equal, namely the arithmetic progression is formed between the color, such as indigo red trichromatic color difference is not the same, simple will be three parts may not necessarily can achieve the balance. (in fact it is not easy to perfect use good average distribution method, because the body of the picture may have multiple color is different, and occupy the picture size shape is very difficult to be unified, it is difficult to be completely symmetrical equal, equal to all is just the color is more empty). Example: figure 48. Another distribution method is "this law" or "pieces of law", namely a color up most of the area, another contrast color proportion is very small. This accounted for a small subject as excitement of images, usually have the effect of dot eyeball. This technique using convenient, and the effect is very good.

3. The color is unfavorable and overmuch. The general picture of the color is not more than three, otherwise it is difficult to control, it is a cliche, many experts will give similar advice (including clothing collocation, household design, etc.). This requests us in the view link to select material more carefully, dare to give up. But if you're particularly adept to the collocation of color, rich color can make your photos more magnificent visual perception. Fourth, the composition

I pay attention to the composition, but more college school, in the final analysis, stressed that "balance". And color ratio distribution method, simple to talk about the two basic composition method.

It is symmetrical composition method, even if the picture around or up and down the body of the form symmetric or equal density, equilibrium. The most typical symmetrical composition is about or the main body (or basic) consistent picture completely, this kind of method is the most simple composition, but also the most safe, although with some more monotonous, but when really haven't thought composition, might as well return the composition method, a lot of times it won't let you down.

The other is scratchable latex composition method, or the golden section composition method, familiar to everyone, but should not abuse, the subject on the golden location method, generally applies only to a picture of a background is pure, if the background elements, more complex combination, simply put the subject in traffic position is not a balanced picture. This kind of composition is suitable for "and" color distribution method, is used to configure the location of the excitement, because the excitement outside the area, is a piece of large-area monochrome, it is pure.

Fifth, the late processing

late processing is very important, don't need to emphasize. Later should have ideas, each step adjustment operation should have a directional goal, late processing I do generally from the following four aspects:

1. The "subtraction" to the greatest extent. It is using means of late, when the previous shot failed to completely eliminate irrelevant things shielding as far as possible, make photos more concise and to highlight the theme. Such as cutting, pressure dark carry bright, blurred, decoloration, stamp tool, etc.

2. The partition resizing, strengthen the contrast. To strengthen the result of image contrast, regional separation on the image, and adjust areas. To strengthen the effect of color contrast of images, for example, you can use "color range" tool to separate color area, and use the curve, color balance, hue tools such as partition color adjustment. To streamline the number of color images can be things of similar color colour merge; To highlight color contrast of opposites relations, can partition the color of the reverse respectively.

3. Highlight the excitement. Selected and isolated images of excitement, priority adjustments, to widen excitement and the rest of the image attributes differences, including the tone and colour, make its present and visible, reveal its status.

4. The overall adjustment, unified atmosphere. Cancel after district overall adjustment to a photograph, or further exaggerate the strength of the light and shade and color contrast, or the picture style harmonious and unified.
