From bought his first camera has been Xiaozhao think he was a photography enthusiasts with a camera every day patted East, the West look at yourself, leisure Shi Hai come up with his own photographs for everyone看.

However, the recent Xiao Zhao met a troubled, though the number of his photographs a lot, but when looking at others, find it hard to be recognized; even Xiao Zhao's friends say he has takenPhotos felt something was missing.

for such a view, Xiao Zhao began to think there might be a someone else's eyes No, we can not accept their own photos, but when more and more people to see, after Xiao Zhao started to feel that that may indeed have some problems with their own.Recently as two years ago, Xiao Zhao pulls out his own photographs, she also began to dislike them.

As a result, Xiao Zhao took these photos, to some professional photography friends and play a bit.

After detailed inquiry, Xiao Zhao know, their own photographs reason is not good, not because of less exercise, but mainly because of their theoretical knowledge too low.While experience is one thing, but there is no theoretical knowledge to guide, even the even the best scenes, photos may not be able to looks good.

Next, let us know, as Xiao Zhao in the near future some of the learning experience it, I believe these experiences will be a number of beginner readers have a certain inspiration.

1, composition

for photography is concerned, it can be said composition is one of the most important factor in the.Excellent creativity, combined with a reasonable composition, in order to capture the author's intention more prominent.We can say that a work is successful to a large extent also depends on the composition.

Some readers may ask: Mody composition really so important?Take a look at this a few pictures below, maybe you'll understand.

more than these two photos, also belong to the Tourism in thesouvenir photos, by category of view, belongs to landscape portraits.But I do not know if you find these two photos are actually the same issue there is that imbalance figures and landscapes, people are not easy to see the face of even the characters mark the significance of the natural greatly reduced, the entire photo is more biased in favor of landscape photography.

Here, we can be adjusted by the photographer and the photo's location relationship, the other figures in the entire photo represent a much larger space.Such as the following diagram:

In addition to a reasonable size of the outside of the main location of the photo is a rather important aspect.Previously issued two photographs, the main location in the image on the right in the middle position seems very unreasonable.This will not only lead to disharmony entire photo will reduce the viewers attention from the main body, so that the whole picture is difficult to demonstrate the idea of the photographer.

In fact, thethe vast majority of digital cameras for our composition provides a very useful auxiliary functions - TICTACTOEMIDLET.Through four intersecting straight lines, will be divided into nine copies of the screen.Just as far as possible to the four principal place near the intersection, you can shoot out of the main outstanding photos.

we not only through the subject position to highlight the main, but also through actual situation between chiaroscuro to highlight the main body.

In fact, the composition should be noted that a lot of things, not only want to show the contents of the need to analyze the main location, but also estimated that the overall balance, so that a photo look more symmetrical, in line with people's aesthetic.Is by no means do not want to, "Kacha" look that simple.

Tips : In Deepak College of channels, with "composition" as the keyword contract, you can search a lot of very practical knowledge of composition.

2, light

the art of photography is light, without light, photography naturally out of the question.Of light, the need to pay attention mainly to the nature of light, direction, color and wavelength and so on.

for the average photographer, the light needs attention is mainly light angle.

the angle of light

the angle of light is also a very important concept, and perhaps you may ask: light enough, a reasonable composition is not enough?What point of view also need to do?As everyone knows, the angle of light for a photograph, this may play a role in the finishing touch.Choose the right light angle characteristics can not only make pictures clearer, but also a very good heighten the overall atmosphere.

in photographylight processing, the angle of light can be divided into cis-ray, cis-Side light (Xiece light), side, side Backlight, Backlight, Backlight, and foot roof light.Various angles of light, and even a slight change in angle of light will give results very different.

Exposure Control

In addition to the angle of light outside of the incident light by controlling the amount and make a reasonable exposure control, but alsoa very important work.

exposure control is mainly used to adjust the overall brightness of a photo, if the subject is too dark, it is necessary to increase the exposure compensation by adjusting the brightness, and if the subjects with high light, you will need an appropriate reduction in compensation, so as to avoid excessivePu.

in manypeople shooting works, overexposure, lack of Pu is evident in the phenomenon.Take the above photograph, the vast expanse of the resort itself is a good shooting story, but the author of this photo, but not paying attention to snow for the high-brightness photo effects, while the only auto-exposure tocomplete the photo shoot.Snow shot, if shot with an average of metering may result in underexposed, snow will be gray, but if using partial metering, metering area powerless in the snow, then it may lead to the snow on the entire picture had basicallyPu, there is no layering.

many beginners would ask how a reasonable exposure it?I have to manually adjust the time is still very vulnerable to overexposure or less Pu ah.In fact, there are now many models support the manual called "bracketing" approach, in this mode, the camera can shoot continuously in a short time more than one image, in which each image exposure settings arethere are subtle differences in the camera after browsing through the computer can generally selects an appropriate exposure photos.

3, auxiliary equipment,

In addition to shooting skills, this time, Xiao Zhao was also informed of auxiliary equipment for the photographyimportance.

Xiao Zhao: "A lot of friends that go out to shoot a camera had to suffice. But it is not, by the recent studies, I learned that there are certain photographs of the shooting, need a lot ofauxiliary equipment to complete. to say the least, they say this small tripod bar, in the past I always think looks is true would not have a tripod, and usually also quite lazy back, but this time, I photographed aphotos without a tripod, this photo early vague Bu Xingle. "

reasonable adjustments aperture shutter, combined with a tripod, you can get a good night photos.

auxiliary equipment, in fact, the role of digital photography is quite large, Xiao Zhao said tripod is just a more common example, the other like flash, shutter lines, reflectors, etc., are inphotography has a great effect.

Take the flash, although the fuselage to meet all the built-in flash illuminated the role of Pi Sheti, but because of the angle of light built-in flash too flat, and the hardness of relatively large, so the use of itsshoot pictures are usually more dull, dull.As long as an external flash, slightly adjust what angle the reflection with the flash light to illuminate the Beishe Ti, photographs, three-dimensional sense of the whole would be greatly enhanced.

In addition, theIn fact, not only can flash when sufficient light to use, but also in the use of backlighting when shooting, but also get unexpected results.

4, advanced techniques

the application of slow-door

through the application of slow-gate, we can shoot out the special effects, so they took the shooting, for example water, under normal circumstances in the use of 1/30 sec shutter speed, allowing even more misty water,dynamic America.

follow-style shooting

follow the film is also known as follow-up shot, is shooting a moving object in particular, is a horizontal linear motion effects commonly used objects.As the moment of exposure, moving object relative to the movement of the camera is static, while the rest of the background relative to the camera movement is moving, thus making movement of objects on the screen more clear and the background is a strong linear fuzzyand thus the impact force and dynamic images particularly strong.

multiple exposure

the use of film cameras, in a film on two or more exposure, the use ofghosting or multi-image formation content of a linked picture, this method is called multiple-exposure photography.Digital cameras generally do not have multiple exposure capability, but at a later overlay is more convenient and flexible.

the traditionalmethod, we use spare cover (also available black paper) to implement avatar synthesis Photo: Using the spare cover, first block half, once exposed, and then block the other half of the re-introduction of exposure, thus completed a multi-exposure.Or a larger difference between light and dark subjects, we have a record of a good dark location, and then the Department for exposure standards for light exposure time.After that, we re-recorded in accordance with the specific location of dark, using dark area (in the first exposure that basically did not light-sensitive) for re-exposure, repeated exposure can achieve the same purpose.

5, post-processing

finished shooting, we often find some shortcomings, but has been Zaiqubupaitoo late.Not only the time will not be again, and the shooting scenes, atmosphere may not be able to retain a long time.

this time, appropriate post-adjustment, not only can these shortcomings disappear, but also to some extent you can improve the overall effect of the photo.

this product images, taken in itself was not successful, not only underexposed, but also the background color of the principal confused one, so that the principal is not prominent.

through a simple increase in brightness and contrast, the effect of entire picture has been greatly improved, but overall too dark tones, giving the impression is still not very good.

Then, we adopted the layer option, a simple color filter, the entire photo is completely different, not only the main legible, and the degree of virtual backgrounds, but also significantlyThe revealed out.

through the latter part of the adjustment, we can also carry out more photos of the application; a good digital photos, it needs some post-processing.

Finally, we have compiled some commonly used terms look for readers to understand.

focus - lens center to its focus distance.Focal length of the unit is usually mm (millimeters) to indicate that a lens focal length are generally marked on the front of the lens, such as f = 50mm (this is what we commonly referred to as the "standard lens") ,28-70mm (our most commonly usedlens) ,70-210mm (a telephoto lens), etc..

aperture - is used to control the amount of light the size of the lens-pass device.

Shutter - used to control the length of exposure time device.Shutter curtain generally can be divided into inter-lens leaf shutter and the shutter, as well as three kinds of steel shutter.One curtain shutter curtain can be divided into vertical travel shutter, horizontal-travel shutter curtain.Steel can achieve a higher shutter speed (currently a maximum shutter speed of 1/12000 seconds or more).Between the leaf shutter lens the maximum speed is generally not more than 1/500 seconds, but between the leaf shutter lens biggest advantage is that the noise generated when shooting extremely low, very conducive to videotaping, and can achieve the full speed range Sync.

shutter speed - the shutter open time.It refers to the light sweep of film time (exposure time).For example, "1/30" refers to the exposure time of 1/30 seconds, the same, "1/60" refers to the exposure time of 1/60 sec, 1/60 second shutter is 1/30 second shutter speed twice as much.The rest and so on.

sensitivity - said the extent of the speed of light-sensitive photographic materials.Sensitivity of the unit with the "degree" or "fixed" to that if the "ISO100/21" said the sensitivity of 100 degrees/21 film set.The higher sensitivity, more sensitive film (that is, in the same shooting conditions normally required for photo shoot with less light, which showed a higher shutter can be used or smaller aperture).200 degrees of sensitivity of photosensitive film is a 100-degree film's two-fold, 400-degree film sensitivity is 200-degree film two times the rest and so on.

color temperature - a variety of light contained in the different pigments known as "color temperature."The unit of color temperature "K" (Kelvin).We usually used in daylight-type color negative film can adapt to the color temperature of 5400K-5600K; light type A-, B-type can meet the color temperature of 3400K, respectively, and 3200K.Therefore, we must according to the subject, the environment to select different types of film, otherwise there will be color cast phenomenon (unless corrected color filter color temperature).

exposure - light reach the film surface to film sensitive process.It must be noted that, we say that the exposure is the photosensitive film, which is necessary for us to get the pictures through a process.This non-professionals call "exposure" very different from what they called "exposure" refers to the light leakage caused due to camera film disposed of accidents.
