The photography skills shared by Shi Mo can be used by both mobile phones and cameras.
So, what are you waiting for-
One is renewed, and everything is renewed. The Spring Festival is finally here!
As Chinese, the Spring Festival is our most important festival. Not one of them. After a busy year, we can finally take a break during the Spring Festival, where relatives and friends gather together to feel the festive and peaceful atmosphere.
The Spring Festival holiday is a collection of "eating Haisai + visiting relatives and friends + having fun and taking pictures". One of the most important is to take photos and record the beautiful moments full of "New Year's flavor".
Figure 1: During the Spring Festival, how to shoot the "New Year's flavor"**
1. Chinese red pendant, lantern blessing characters and couplets.
2. Festive solo photos, the background of photography should be simple.
3. Folk customs have connotations, and the dragon and lion dance are watched again and again.
4. **For a long time, bright fireworks bloom at night.
5. Sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, happy group photo reunion.
Mobile phone camera shooting**, photography mantra is used, and the quality improvement can be seen!
Figure 2: There are many traditional festivals in China, and the Spring Festival is the most important one. Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival with a sense of ritual.
Therefore, elements that highlight the atmosphere of the Spring Festival can be seen everywhere.
In particular, the "Chinese red" jewelry ...... that represents festivity and peaceIt's really dazzling to the point of "dizzying".
For example, the big red lantern hangs high.
For example, window grilles, blessing characters, and couplets.
There are also delicate red envelopes, lucky bags, and zodiac pendants.
We only need to select these red-based Chinese-style ornaments as a photography background or photo props, and we can shoot a strong sense of New Year's atmosphere.
Figure 3: The big red lantern hangs high, which can be seen as "rushing to the face" at a glance.
Shoot a large number of horizontal and vertical rows of red lanterns, we can use the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses of mobile phones, and use the wide-angle distortion effect to shoot the ** atmospheric and spectacular visual effects.
Figure 4 is taken from a different angle**, the visual effect is not ordinary.
Standing under the lanterns and shooting upwards so that all the lanterns converge in the same direction can also be very impressive.
Figure 5: In the first month of the month, the snow is shining.
If you encounter a "snowy day" during the Chinese New Year, remember to take pictures of red lanterns in the snow.
Ruixue Mega Year!
Figure 6: If you are photographing a lantern at night.
Then use a wide aperture to blur the background of the photo. Focus on the text on the lantern.
Figure 7 is also one of the folk customs of the New Year.
Cutting window grilles is an intangible cultural heritage ......Most people don't have this skill.
If you cut the window grilles yourself......Whether it is cut by relatives, friends, or the elderly at home, this process must be filmed.
Figure 8 is very rewarding to put on the window grilles that you have cut out.
Even if you put on the window grilles you bought, it is also very Spring Festival atmosphere.
Figure 9 and the window flower belong to the same traditional folk customs, as well as the writing of spring couplets.
Fu characters and Spring Festival Lian, the Chinese New Year's Eve is to be pasted on the door.
If there is a "calligrapher" in the family, it must be a well-known treasure.
The handwritten Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters are too ritualistic.
Figure 10 The photo angle of writing Spring Festival couplets and writing blessing characters can be the level view of "others watching" or the examination of "writing by oneself".
You can take a picture from the calligrapher's side and take a picture of the serious writing from the perspective of a bystander;
You can also take a picture from the calligrapher's own point of view, looking down from the top and writing at the same time.
Figure 11 Write the word Fu, do not shoot it alone.
Because only one word "Fu" is too thin.
It can be paired with a bokeh photographic foreground to make ** layered.
Figure 12 is also a very meaningful activity, a chance once a year, it is worth shooting.
When shooting, use diagonal lines to compose the picture, which will make the Spring Festival couplets look very long, and the visual effect will be natural and vivid.
Figure 13 is also suitable for diagonal composition, as well as hanging ornaments at home.
During the Chinese New Year, we will decorate our homes, hang lanterns, latte art, string lanterns, ......Something.
In particular, it is best to hang long strips of ornaments and take photos with a diagonal composition.
Figure 14 shoots ornaments and pendants, pay attention to "horizontal and vertical".
The ornaments are all thread-worn. In the absence of external forces, it is certainly a vertical ......It's not good to shoot crookedly.
Figure 15 Let's just say that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has a sense of atmosphere, and the festive pendant has also ......Taking advantage of this "New Year's flavor", should we also take a few photos of Happy New Year's singles for ourselves or our families?
Taking a single photo in the New Year, festivity and joy are the main emotions we want to express through **.
So, we're going to choose a relatively simple photographic background; Then let the portrait model wear a red costume that symbolizes festivity; Then use some pendants or accessories that can reflect the atmosphere of the Spring Festival to enhance the shooting atmosphere.
Figure 16 Chinese New Year, photographing a festive single**.
Those beautiful pendants are great photo props.
Put it on the table and take pictures in your hand, it is very "joyful", and the sense of ritual of the Spring Festival is instantly full.
Figure 17: When the window grille is attached, look back, glance at the camera, and smile.
That's the snap in the pose.
Use a wide aperture to blur the scenery outside the window.
Figure 18 The beauty of a single person with a sense of New Year atmosphere can be taken at home.
Use a white wall as a photographic backdrop, holding a couplet ...... in your handSmile at the camera.
You see, isn't this New Year's feeling filmed!
Figure 19: The folk activities during the Spring Festival are an important display of the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, and they are also a happy experience where we can deeply feel the joy of the New Year.
I have a lot of land, and each place has different customs and habits. Welcoming the New Year and celebrating the New Year, the social fires in various regions are also quite interesting.
For example, we are familiar with -
Beat gongs and drums, twist Yangge, dance dragons and lions, step on stilts and ......It's very lively.
Figure 20: Most of the social fire activities during the Spring Festival are "collective activities" - that is, a large group of people perform together.
It's a spectacular scene, so get up close.
The actors' movements are very fast, and they have to be captured.
Figure 21: If you can't take a close-up shot, you can take a picture from the audience in front of you.
Shoot the audience into the **. The crowd is crowded, which can reflect the liveliness of social fire activities.
Figure 22 is a long way to take pictures, and I want to capture a close-up ...... of the actor when he performsThen you have to use a telephoto lens.
The moment is the moment, and the shutter speed must be a little faster - the time to test your instant reaction has arrived.
Figure 23: The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year and celebrates the New Year with joy.
Setting off fireworks is also one of the traditional activities to celebrate the Spring Festival. Some places also prepare large-scale fireworks shows to add a strong festive atmosphere to the Spring Festival.
Fireworks are dazzling in the night sky. The beautiful and shocking visuals are breathtaking. Photographing the moment when the fireworks bloom is also a rare good memory during the Spring Festival.
Figure 24: If you are using your mobile phone to shoot the moment when the fireworks bloom, then use the "Streamer Shutter" mode to shoot **!
The "Streamer Shutter" mode of the smartphone is to facilitate us to shoot the ...... of busy traffic, silk and flowing water, phantom light painting, and fireworks bloomingAnd so on, these are photographic subjects that need to be extended.
Figure 25: How to find the streamer shutter?
Come on, come on, look at the picture-
1. Open the photo interface of the mobile phone;
2. Swipe right to find "More";
3. In the more options, find "Streamer Shutter".
Figure 26: Some phones also have a "Pro Mode". In Pro mode, all data can be adjusted individually. For example, time.
Shoot the fireworks going off, ** for a little longer. For example, 2-4 seconds.
*The longer the time, the longer the lines of the fireworks will radiate in all directions. The visuals will also be more stunning.
Figure 27 In the professional mode of the mobile phone, what does so much "English" mean?
Come on, come on, keep looking at the picture - it's all in Figure 27.
If you want to adjust the time, click "S". The longer the time, the longer the lines of the fireworks.
When shooting fireworks at night, remember to find a stable fulcrum, such as a tripod. This is very important, otherwise it will be easy to shoot up.
Figure 28: The most important part of the Chinese New Year is family reunion.
If you have money or not, go home for the New Year. On the day of the Spring Festival, whether it is a student studying abroad or a migrant worker who has been busy for a year, they will return to their hometowns to eat a steaming Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and reunite their relatives and families.
How to shoot Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?
It can be a simple photo of Chinese New Year food, or a family meal making together, and using the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as a photo prop to take a happy family photo.
Figure 29 The symbol of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is dumplings, and the live broadcast of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is "eating dumplings in the Chinese New Year's Eve".
Then we can start by making dumplings and shoot ......Roll out the dumpling wrappers and wrap the dumpling filling.
Big hands, small hands, a few hands, the whole family ...... togetherIt's a very warm moment!
Figure 30 Dumplings, you can also take a close-up of the dumplings.
The hands must be stained, otherwise it will not look real.
And nail polish ...... must not be applied to the nailsOtherwise, the dumplings will not be edible.
Figure 31: When dumplings are served, they should be steamed to be "fresh".
Dumplings without hot air ......It doesn't look like it's freshly cooked.
The background of the photography should be a little darker because the steam is white.
Figure 32 In addition to shooting dumplings, we also have to shoot Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a sumptuous meal.
There are fish, meat and shrimp, and there is more than enough every year!
Figure 33: The presentation of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be exquisite.
We can "swing diagonally + overlook shot".
A variety of square, round plates and saucers are arranged in diagonal lines, and the photo is taken from the top down, emphasizing the beauty of the geometric figures.
Figure 34 is the usual way to take a family portrait with a family sitting together.
In fact, we can start with "serving" and photograph the wonderful moments of the whole family eating together.
For example, the elders serve vegetables to the juniors, and the whole family toasts ...... togetherWait a minute.
It can be posed or captured.
