​Ultra wide-angle lens professional skills

In addition to the aforementioned techniques, canvas prints online don't forget to observe the world in the viewing window from different angles if you want to make the ultra wide Angle works refreshingly amazing. Because according to the shooting habits of most people, most of them are shooting from a common horizontal perspective. Unless the picture itself has special highlights, there is not much chance of causing a total sound. Therefore, the next time you shoot, you may try to frame the picture you see with a rare Angle.

From the perspective of visual psychology, canvas printing the upside-down shot is like a child's or a pet's view of the world, which will make the subject of the picture send out lofty, solemn, great or rising visual effect. From the top down, it's like you're in control. Also do not forget of course, the reason why the ultra wide Angle lens can leave a deep impression on the vision, is because of that unique perspective deformation, and if this characteristic can be applied to the two viewing angles of elevation and elevation, it will bring a more visually shocking viewing effect. The following is an introduction to the techniques of the upshot and the downshot. As long as you try to master them and use them flexibly, you will also be able to shoot impressive works of super wide Angle.

With super wide Angle to shoot, is refers to the camera to the location of the object below was taken up (crouched low, even on the ground, for example), due to the double factors of shooting Angle and perspective distortion, will make the subject seem more tall, usually used for shooting subjects such as architecture or sculpture, can make its majestic and authoritative picture atmosphere; However, acrylic mounting when it is used for portrait photography, it will bring different viewing experience, such as the desire to shoot petite characters with high visual effect, or the special emphasis on the slender legs of the subject, etc., and the closer to the subject, the more obvious the effect will be.

Because of the focal length of physical limits, even the use of large aperture ultra wide Angle lens, lens to blur the background effect is limited, therefore when facing too cluttered background, elevation of benefits will be highlighted, because not only will be able to take a leading role (jumped) suspension of tension, also can achieve in the sky to purify the background, to highlight the purpose of the subject.

Notice the elevation Angle

When shooting at an elevation Angle with an ultra-wide Angle, you should pay special attention to the Angle of shooting, the distance between the camera and the subject. Unless you want to emphasize some image performance with an exaggerated way, it is suggested that players can observe the changes of the picture at different elevation angles through the viewing window before pressing the shutter. In general, when the lens is close to the subject and the elevation Angle, the greater the perspective distortion situation become more serious and presents the tension but can also be the effect, the opposite is slightly plain, so players can to try and the collocation with different elevation Angle, and were about to choose the most suitable Angle of view and ideas.

The taking

When shooting from an Angle of depression at an ultra-wide Angle, the camera is shooting from a position higher than the position of the subject (such as elevating, or climbing to a commanding height), which gives the picture a very different visual experience than when shooting from the back. Such as city scene on the top, as a result of the ultra wide Angle lens itself can hold broad field of vision, plus perspective deformation caused by the head-up, can easily show the ground scene depth, quantity, and the administrative levels, so when shooting related issues, as can be three points by composition method, let the landscape picture about two-thirds of the share, retain only one-third to the sky, to explain the weather, time and location. Following on a bit, in the perspective shooting Angle of depression to the landscape theme, in addition to composition method can use three points, can also join the tic-tac-toe composition technique to the city's famous landmarks, or bright spot in the picture on the golden cross, so that will be able to make the whole image is the center of gravity, also can make the picture more smoothly.

Pay attention to the metering mode

In addition, metering is also an important aspect of elevation shooting. As previously mentioned, elevation view while you can, to achieve the purpose of purifying background sky but it will also affect the camera photometric effect, especially when the backlight is more obvious, so unless it is in the form of silhouette, when shooting or advice, choose the metering mode to "center-weighted average metering or spot metering", the effect will be ideal.

Notes for Angle shooting: pay attention to your own safety

When looking for an ideal location for a scenic or cityscape shoot, players need to pay special attention to their own safety, including whether the road is slippery or not. Hinterland is too small, and so on; also try not to be too close to the edge of the cliff shooting, in order to avoid accidents.

Look for the core value of the image

Because the ultra-wide Angle lens can accommodate a relatively large number of scenes, players in the frame composition but more need to find the highlights of the picture, to foil the center of gravity of the image. Because a beautiful ultra-wide Angle photo, in addition to the need to have beautiful elements, but also to achieve the purpose of visual focus, so as to be a perfect work. Therefore, it is suggested that when shooting any scene, players should not pick up the camera and shoot, but should first calm down to carefully observe the picture in front of them, and while thinking about how to frame the frame composition can give the picture center of gravity, so as to shoot the ideal image works.

Generally speaking, when facing a new scene, it is better to shoot the scene with a three-point or tic-tac-toe composition method first, and try to fill two-thirds of the focus or important scenes in the picture, or put it on the cross-point of tic-tac-toe. This seemingly simple and basic composition method can often make you shoot a focused and non-monotonous work. In addition, you can also try to add different elements to the image to create the focus of attention in the picture. For example, some players do not like to have people in the picture when shooting scenery related issues, but if the people will be driven to arrange in the picture, not only will not destroy the picture, but also can achieve the effect of finishing the picture. Or you can borrow the ponding on the ground, the vitreous curtain of the building, polished marble ground again, take the contrast reflection that gives mirror image, also can make a picture more be able to bear or endure look, interesting.

In addition, slow shutter speed is also a technique that can be used, especially in the night shooting scenery theme is easy to use, when the use of ultra-wide Angle with slow shutter speed, in addition to shooting the vast scenery, but also can let the image show a dynamic, lively visual experience.

Make good use of Live View to get 100% views

Have you noticed that sometimes the pictures taken are slightly different from the ones you saw at the viewing window? Usually, there are some irrelevant scenes at the edges and corners, especially when taking pictures with ultra-wide angles. Because the original product positioning factors, most of the high order DSLR model, the optical viewing window View rate is less than 100%, so would lead to image taken out, there will be a scenery did not see her, to solve this problem, in addition to change the View outside the window View at a rate of 100% DSLR, the fastest way is to use Live View to View composition.

When the Live View is turned on, the image picture is transmitted directly through the lens to the sensor, which does not need to pass through the reflection of the reflector and pentamera, so there will not be the above problems. Therefore, when facing the subject that needs accurate composition, the Live View will become the best helper in your composition. However, it should be noted that since most DSLR Live views are not very fast in focusing speed, it is not recommended to shoot subjects that move too fast, and tripod assistance can be used when necessary to obtain stable images.

High ISO and large aperture for stable image

Ultra-wide Angle lenses generally don't have built-in shock absorbers, but can't they be used for light travel, or in places where tripods aren't available (such as museums and restaurants)? Don't worry, as long as the player makes good use of the ultra-wide Angle lens focal length feature, and combined with the lens of the large aperture and available high ISO fuselage together, you can take a successful video work in a low light source. In the use of ultra-wide Angle, because the safety shutter is much lower than other focal lenses, so in the shooting, as long as the appropriate ISO value and try to use the maximum aperture, and then hold the camera smoothly, you can get the night image works without shaking.

What is a safety shutter?

A "safe shutter" is the speed at which a hand-held camera can be pressed without shaking the camera, blurring the image. In general, panoramic photo prints usually the safe shutter =1/ actual focal length. For example, when taking photos with aps-c body and 16mm lens, the equivalent focal length is about 25mm, so the safety shutter is about 1/25s above.
