The photography skills shared by Shi Mo can be used by both mobile phones and cameras.
So, what are you waiting for-
Spring is the season when magnolia flowers are in full bloom. Magnolia flowers are elegant in shape, fresh and fragrant, and are more precious native varieties among garden flowers.
Magnolia flowers are colorful, with a black background and a sparkling spot background, ......High-end atmosphere, elegant and sophisticated.
So, how can you take the magnolia flower and shoot the black background and the light spot background?
In this issue of photography reviews, we will disassemble and take photos in detail for you.
Mobile phones and cameras can be used. Remember to collect and **.
Figure 1 about the black background**, the easiest way to take a picture is to directly use a black cloth as the background of photography. However, this method is only suitable for indoor operation. It is okay to shoot bonsai, but it is not suitable to shoot magnolia flowers.
The reason is simple, because the magnolia flower tree is tall and ......Much taller than people.
Three or four meters of large flowering trees, climb the tree to hang black cloth, as a photographic background? Are you kidding?
When did photographers become a job of "climbing trees without relying on technology"?
Shimo can't climb trees. That's why I'll only introduce ways to take photos with a black background without climbing a tree. And it can be used with both mobile phones and cameras.
Figure 2: Photographing magnolia flowers on a black background** requires two steps.
The first step is to choose the right environment for your photos.
The second step is how to operate on the phone and camera?
Let's take a look at the first step
Magnolia flowers with a black background**, the key lies in the "contrast of light and shadow".
To put it more plainly, there is a bright light on the flowers, but not in the background of the photograph.
The flowers are bright, the background is dark - this kind of photo environment is the premise of shooting a dark background.
Figure 31: On a sunny day, look for magnolia flowers illuminated by the sun.
2. It is best to choose a beautiful magnolia flower as the subject of photography.
A good-looking subject is a plus.
3. When the sun shines on the side and back of the flower, or shines on the back of the flower, the background of the photograph is dim.
At this point, it's time to take pictures.
Figure 4 has selected the subject and background of the photograph, and the next step is the specific operation steps.
This is the second step, not the first step.
Knock on the blackboard: Many people will ignore the first step, so they can't shoot the effect of a black background. I hope you can take a closer look. Shimo writes all Chinese characters, so if you can't read them, read them out loud!
The first step is a premise, don't skip the first step and go straight to it.
How does the second step work?
1. First put the metering point on the part of the flower that is illuminated by the sun.
2. Then reduce the ** compensation. You'll notice that the background is blacked out, and the subject doesn't light up so harshly.
Figure 5 is the small square that appears when you click on the screen of your phone. This small box, which has another function, is focusing.
Next to the small box, a "Little Sun" sign will appear. That's the compensation. If you look closely, there are plus and minus signs next to the "little sun".
The minus sign is definitely the reduction of the ** compensation.
Pulling down the "little sun" is to reduce the **compensation!
Figure 6: If you want to capture a shiny flare background, you must first know how the flare is formed.
The light spot in the background is actually the bokeh effect of the photographic background with something glowing and then shot with a wide aperture.
Figure 7 understands how the flare background is formed, and we can let go of the shooting. The photo step is also divided into two steps
1. Something that makes the photographic background** "glow" now.
For example, the sunlight passing through the trees, leaving a gap between the leaves;
Also, the leaves that reflect light and shine;
Also, there are a lot of small water droplets in the background of the photo, which can be reflective and shiny.
When you take a photo with a backlight, it will be easier to spot the "points of light" in the background of the photo. For example, light through the gaps in the leaves of trees.
Figure 82: Use a wide aperture or a long focal length to blur the photographic background.
The "glowing dots" in the background will become shiny spots.
The size of the light spot on the background of the photograph can be adjusted.
Because there is a direct correlation between the size of the spot and the size of the depth of field.
Figure 9: A larger aperture and a longer focal length will result in a larger spot in the background. Conversely, a smaller aperture and a shorter focal length will result in a smaller spot in the background.
For example, the effect of Figures 9 and 10.
Figure 10 Friends who like photography can take two photos with different effects by adjusting the photo data under the same photo conditions.
The "comparison chart" I made by myself is quite interesting.
Of course, you can also shoot with your mobile phone! Nowadays, many phones have a wide aperture and portrait mode.
The hardware is ready for you. It's up to you to see if you have the skills to take pictures.
Figure 11 To improve the quality of photography, it is easy to understand and learn photography, so let's pay attention to Liu Shimo!
Pay attention to Liu Shimo, there will be a harvest!
Pay attention to Liu Shimo, photography has dry goods!
