Key Points and Skills of Mobile Phone Shooting
Smartphones are becoming more and more powerful in photographic performance, some even exceeding the camera, approaching the level of SLR. Although taking pictures with mobile phones is very simple, some people can only take big head pictures, while others can take large pictures, which shows that there is a lot of knowledge in it.
At the beginning of this year, the group invited Mr. Chen Xinlong, a member of China Photographers Association and vice-chairman of Nantong Photographers Association, to give lectures, focusing on the guidance of mobile camera shooting skills. As a trainee, the group gained a lot. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Teacher Chen Xinlong's teaching points and usual photography experience are arranged into a document "sharing" everyone.
1. Stability. Whether it is photography or photography, once shaking occurs in the process, the image will become blurred, so maintaining stability is the basis of photography. In shooting, you can use tripod, rely on fixtures and other methods to stabilize the mobile phone, and it is best not to run while shooting.
2. Zoom problem. Digital zoom is not recommended in mobile phone shooting, that is, to close the distance between the lens and the shooting object by sliding screen, which will reduce the quality of the image. We can solve this problem by cutting the image after normal shooting or by approaching the shooting object during shooting.
3. Focusing. Mobile shooting tends to be autofocus, and it doesn't know where the focus is. At this point, you only need to touch the focus of the shot with your hand in the viewfinder, and then a small box appears, indicating that the camera has selected it as the focus of the photo.
4. Light problems. When shooting, it's best to choose smooth light, followed by light metering. Only when there is enough light can we take the ideal picture. When shooting in dim or backlight, the photo will be underexposed. At this point, you repeat the focusing operation, and after the small box appears, you can adjust the brightness of the image by sliding the screen up and down.
5. Vertical and horizontal problems. When shooting, we should consider not only the scene and composition itself, but also the ultimate purpose of the photograph. Therefore, in photography, it is suggested that priority should be given to the selection of banner photography, which shows a wide range of performance and enhances the visual effect extending to the left and right sides; while in photography, the use of banner photography should be unified, so as to facilitate the later editing and processing of images. In the case of large scenes, we can use panoramic mode, according to the needs of the shooting object, reasonable selection of horizontal panorama and vertical panorama.
6. Viewing. Viewing angle is divided into: flat-looking, overlooking, looking up, the level is divided into: prospects, mid-range, vision, the scope is divided into: panoramic, local, close-up, we make the choice of view according to the actual situation of shooting. Taking a meeting shooting as an example, we need to take a panoramic view of the meeting (long-range shooting), a local view of the rostrum (mid-range shooting), and a close-up of each leader (foreground shooting). In panoramic and local shooting, we choose to use the perspective of head-up, while shooting leaders choose to use the perspective of head-up (lens slightly up).
7. Composition. The methods of composition are basically divided into three categories: golden section (trichotomy), symmetry and asymmetry, curve and diagonal line, among which golden section (trichotomy) is the simplest technique. Open the cell phone's own grid line and divide the picture horizontally and vertically, then place the object in the middle or intersection of the vertical line or the horizontal line, and finally keep the horizon parallel to the horizontal line. (Mr. Chen Xinlong's basic method of composition: the main body is in the middle, leaving space on all sides. The upper side is bigger and the lower side is tighter. There are many empty points in front and few empty points in back. Shooting can't be done, cutting it later.)
8. Continuous shooting. Neither novice nor expert can guarantee a hit when taking photos, so taking more than one shot at a time is the safest way. In shooting, we can use the "continuous shooting" mode, such as Huawei mobile phone in the setting of a long press shutter to select "continuous shooting", which can be achieved by pressing the Photo button for a long time, and then select the most suitable one after taking a picture.
9. The original map problem. When transmitting photos through the Internet media such as Wechat and QQ, pay attention to click on the original picture and send it again; when receiving the original picture sent by the other party, pay attention to click and view the original picture before saving, so as to send and save the original picture.
10. Later problems. Generally, mobile phones have simple editing function, which can micro-process photos, or download photo post-processing APP for further modification. However, the photo processing suggestions should not be too much modified, try to maintain the true color of the photo.
It's better to "sit and talk" than to "get up and practice". If you want to take good pictures, you have to be diligent. Let's study hard, practice hard and make progress together, and take more and more beautiful photos and videos to provide rich materials for the Annual Magazine of Beautiful Dream Pursuit and "Tipping the Eye: Qian'an".
