The photography skills shared by Shi Mo can be used by both mobile phones and cameras.
So, what are you waiting for-
Rape flowers are standard "two-season flowers" that bloom in the basin in spring and in the plateau in summer. And the temperament is very "skin", the requirements for water and soil are not high, and it can be planted in the south and north.
The rape flowers are especially spectacular when they are in full bloom. The mountains are all over the country, and the sky is overwhelming. The earth seemed to be covered with a golden carpet. The breeze blows, the sea of flowers fluctuates, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The north is cold and frozen, and the south is full of flowers. Our beautiful motherland is such a vast territory and vast land.
Figure 1: Have fun in the ice and snow world in the north, and then go south to see the rape flowers in full bloom. Take off your down jacket and wear a skirt – this spring, it's just that perfect!
Go to the rape fields to check in, take pictures, and plunge into the embrace of nature. As far as the eye can see, there are ...... of raw materials that can be used to shoot "photographic blockbusters".All you need is a little bit of knowledge about the must-have photography knowledge.
In this issue of photography review, Shimo will talk to you about taking pictures in the rape flower field, which can be "scored" for photo skills.
Figure 2 White plus black minus" is a photography technique that many old fans are not unfamiliar with.
Because it is often used when shooting snow scenes in winter.
The meaning of white plus black subtraction is literal, and it is easy to understand - when encountering a photographic subject shooting pure white, you should add **; If you are shooting a photographic subject that is pure black, reduce **.
For example, if you shoot a large area of snow, you need to increase it appropriately.
This is because large areas of snow can reflect light.
The snow we see is white because our eyes have optic nerves that can automatically adjust to the external environment.
However, the metering system of the camera and mobile phone does not have an optic nerve. Large areas of snow reflections can "trick" the metering system of mobile phones and cameras. Let the metering system mistakenly think that the photographic environment is very bright.
As a result, the metering system automatically lowers the ** value.
So if we want to save trouble and "shoot directly", let the camera and mobile phone automatically meter, and shoot the snow scene**, it will be dim.
It's grayish, not pure white.
Therefore, we need to manually adjust the error - to shoot a large area of snow, we need to increase the compensation.
White plus black minus, that's how it came about.
Figure 3 The camera and mobile phone take pictures, although they are simulating our eyes; However, there is no camera device that can match the precision of the human eye.
Why would experienced photographers abandon automatic transmission and switch to manual transmission? It's all about reducing errors.
Figure 4 is not only suitable for shooting large areas of snow with white plus black subtraction. It is also suitable for shooting other similar scenes.
For example, we photograph large fields of rape flowers.
Rape flowers are bright yellow ......The bright yellow color is also a little dazzling.
If you are photographing a landscape of rape flowers**, or a portrait with a large area of rape flowers as the background**, you need to "add white and subtract black".
Whether you're taking photos with your phone or camera, remember to add compensation.
*Compensation** Find? For those who take pictures with their mobile phones, please take a look at the picture below
Figure 5: The steps for us to take a picture with a mobile phone:
The first step is to determine the focus point and metering point.
Tap on the phone screen, and the small box that appears is the focus point and metering point.
The second step is to adjust the **compensation.
Tap on the phone screen and the small box that appears, if you look closely, there will also be a small sun logo next to the small box.
This little sun is ** compensation.
There are plus and minus signs next to the little sun.
Pulling the small sun up or down is to increase or decrease the ** compensation.
Figure 6 Shooting the scenery of rape flowers**, if you want to make ** a stronger sense of hierarchy, the picture effect is more poetic and beautiful, you might as well give it a try and add a photographic foreground!
We can use local materials and rape flowers as a photographic foreground.
Whether you're taking a picture with your phone or a camera, just find some rape flowers and put them in front of the lens.
The most direct role of the photographic prospect is to create a sense of hierarchy.
Under normal circumstances, when we take pictures, as long as there is a photographic subject and a photographic background, it is enough.
The appearance of the photographic foreground is equivalent to "adding an extra layer" of other scenery in front of the photographic subject.
As a result, the **, which originally had only two layers, became three layers.
The sense of hierarchy will be very obvious.
Figure 7 Because the foreground is the foreground of the lens. Therefore, the photographic foreground also has a derivative effect, which is to cover up imperfections.
For example, the electric wires and telephone poles that often appear in the countryside.
Figure 8 If you zoom in on Figure 8 and look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are several wires across the terraces in **.
Using rape flowers as a photographic foreground and blocking these wires, it will not be so obvious.
Post-editing is also possible......However, why leave the problems that can be solved by taking pictures in the early stage for post-retouching?
Figure 9: The rape flowers we see now are almost all artificially grown.
Wild ......It's not easy to find.
Artificially grown plants have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they are "stylish".
If you look down from the top of the mountain, it is not difficult to see that the rape fields, as well as other farmlands, are all piece by piece. From afar, it looks like a palette of nature.
Fig. 10 Then, when we frame and compose the picture, we must adapt to the situation.
Photographing a large area of rape fields is not only about "white plus black minus", but also about framing and composing along the path between the flower fields.
Figure 11 uses the path as a line of sight, and the reader's line of sight will gradually drift away as the path extends.
The path in the field, there are straight lines and curves.
Whether it is a straight line or a curve, as long as it is a smooth line, it will bring people a comfortable visual experience.
Figure 12 In addition to the field path, the river between the rape fields is also a beautiful scenery.
Rivers also have a sense of line.
Moreover, the boat running on the river can also bring a sense of movement to the **.
Figure 13 The scenery is quiet, and the boats and cars are all related to people.
Whether it's a road, or a river. As long as someone appears, ** will come alive.
If you look closely at the rape flowers, it is not difficult to see the beauty of the rape flowers.
The flowers of the rape flower, like a small funnel. Delicate petals, tightly arranged. The flowers are in full bloom, like a butterfly fluttering in the wind.
If we want to shoot rape flowers with a "real restoration" effect, we have to get closer.
If you're taking pictures with a camera, it's best to use a telephoto lens.
At the same aperture setting, the bokeh capability of the telephoto end will be better. An inch long and an inch strong. The shallow depth of field brought by the long focal length can enhance the three-dimensional sense of ** and make the rape flower "jump on the paper".
Figure 14: If you're taking a picture with your phone, take a closer picture.
Turn on your phone's "wide aperture" mode, or the macro function.
Figure 15 The rape flowers are bright yellow, and when photographing a single flower, it is necessary to choose a photographic background with a large color contrast.
For example, the green leaves of rape flowers are used as a background for photography.
When blurred, the background becomes a uniform background.
Fig. 16 Or when the weather is nice, lower the camera position and shoot upwards. Use the blue sky as a backdrop for photography.
The bright yellow rape flowers, against the blue sky, are more gorgeous and eye-catching.
Figure 17: The rich aroma of rape flowers can "attract bees and butterflies".
If you have a telephoto lens and have plenty of time, you can "wait and see".
Wait for bees and butterflies to break into the camera.
Figure 18 Rape flowers are so beautiful, of course you have to take portraits! For beauty-loving women, it is ...... to take pictures of flowers and landscapes in the rape fieldThat's all piggybacking. Taking portraits is the most important thing!
For a portrait in a field of rape flowers, the photographer can advise the model to bring a few brightly colored clothes.
There is no other reason, it is to use color contrast to increase the visual impact of **, which is eye-catching.
Figure 19 is an example of the big red dress that everyone knows.
Red itself is a very festive color, and in the bright yellow rape fields, it is dazzling.
Figure 20 If you want a ladylike and literary effect, then wear white clothes!
Standing in the rape flower field is like Snow White descending to earth.
Even if you shoot the back, it's a very fairy and beautiful effect.
Figure 21: Take a photo in a field of rape flowers, and it is best not to wear yellow clothes.
Because ......It's hard to find.
The background of the photograph is bright yellow, and the clothes are also yellow, so the subject of the photograph is easily "assimilated" by the photographic background.
If you have bad eyes, it's really hard to find.
For example, in Figure 21, if the model is wearing a yellow dress, I am afraid that we will only see one head of hair.
Don't know what color clothes are best for you?
To be on the safe side, wear blue.
Blue, dark blue, light blue, sky blue, denim blue, ......Both.
Blue is a quiet, calm color, soulful and restrained. It is suitable for low-key and unassuming women.
And don't pick age, don't pick skin color. Wear it for any age.
Figure 23: What should I do if I can't pose when I take a photo?
Then prepare some photographic props.
For example, flower baskets, such as hats; Young girls can also prepare umbrellas and balloons.
Taking a picture in the rape field with a flower basket is very appropriate.
Figure 24 A small flower umbrella will make ** more exquisite.
Throwing the hat into the air can add movement to the **.
When shooting portraits, rape flowers can also be used as the foreground of photography, which is poetic and beautiful, hazy and romantic.
