What are the skills of mobile phone photography? Summary of practical skills of mobile phone photography
4hw.com.cn: now everyone has a smart phone and can take photos easily. Although there are many photos, few people can take good-looking photos. There are many skills in addition to equipment, so how can a mobile phone take good-looking photos? Let's teach you some shooting skills and composition. Let's learn it together.
1. Less is more
I always think this sentence is one of the most classic rules of photography. For novices, understanding this sentence can quickly make satisfactory works. As an old hand, understanding this sentence can open the door to a master. When I first came into contact with photography, it was a big problem that the subject was not clear enough, and the subject could be explained quickly through subtraction.
With an in-depth understanding of photography, a theme is the basic skill, and how to frame a theme with the least picture elements is the threshold for improvement.
Of course, 'less' is just an expression of photography, which does not mean that the picture can only be' less' and not 'more'. In fact, it is also a great ability to reasonably arrange the complicated elements of the picture one by one.
For example, chestnuts:
What would you do if you saw this scene? If you shoot like this, it's the level of passers-by and click.
Remember: less is more! It's too messy to shoot like this: sculptures, buildings, distant buildings, floors, green belts & hellip; If you have mastered some composition rules, you may shoot like this:
This obviously shows a certain level of photography. From the perspective of upward shooting, the building, floor and other elements on the ground are directly excluded, and only the sculpture, green belt and sky are retained. At the same time, a person is added to activate the picture.
However, if you are a more mature photographer, you may shoot like this:
On the basis of the front, the green belt is excluded and only the sky and sculpture are retained.
The process of change is like this: sculpture, sky, green belt, buildings, distant buildings, floor &rarr& rarr; & rarr; Sculpture, sky and green belt &rarr& rarr; & rarr; Sculpture, sky
The change of the picture is like that in the picture. Reduce complexity to simplicity, less is more.
Therefore, when you take photos, you must think about it: can it be less, less?
2. Lower it
How would you shoot such a scene?
If you make it like this, it can only be said to be regular. The smooth horizontal line, three-point composition and extension line are fairly qualified. But if you are a mature photographer, you may shoot like this:
1. By lowering the position of the camera, the reflection of the water surface is stronger, resulting in a stronger symmetrical effect.
2. Through cutting, create a wide-angle visual effect.
3. Electric cars are the finishing touch.
4. By turning vertically, there is the effect that the electric car is about to drive to the cloud.
Another example is this scenario:
If you make it like this, it still belongs to the rules and regulations, and there are not many bright spots, but it seems that anyone can make it.
At this time, we adopt:
1. By lowering the position of the camera, the water surface occupies a larger position (perspective relationship), so as to form a stronger visual impact.
2. Create water surface ripples (in order to arouse the ripples, my feet keep stepping on the water) to make the picture form a more water surface texture.
3. Through cutting, it can create better visual effect (16:9).
4. Create exaggerated visual effects through lens correction.
5. Enhance the center of gravity of the picture by reducing the number of vehicles.
3. Rhythm and rhythm
What is rhythm and rhythm?
In short: orderly repetition under unified characteristics.
For example, this picture:
It has no rhythm. There is no 'unified feature' and no 'orderly repetition'.
But we have a rhythm when we shoot like this.
Uniform features: Lines
Ordered repetition: gradients
You can also seek cross rhythms:
Another example:
This is rhythmic, but the sense of rhythm is not strong. We shoot from bottom to top:
This makes the sense of rhythm stronger.
4. Come closer
Sometimes, we bring the mobile phone closer, not only to take macro photos or virtualize the background (in fact, the ability to virtualize is also very limited), but to better observe the photographed object. When you get closer, you will find that there is such a big world!
This picture was taken by mobile phone. Who knows what it is?
5. Post processing
Post processing is a very important part of photography. Let me give a simple example here.
This is a rainstorm map. The original picture is as follows:
In fact, the processed image is closer to the visual effect at that time. It's really dark clouds that want to destroy the city. The basic model for this kind of image is: defog - gradient filter
Let's import the pictures first (the software is the spicy map repair APP):
Then use defogging:
As you can see, the details of the sky came out at once. Then we will create a new radial gradient filter:
Note three values:
Exposure: we increase the exposure to get the details of the picture.
Highlight: we reduce the highlight to highlight the details of the sky.
Eclosion: the greater the eclosion value, the more natural the effect will be.
OK, after the above two steps, our adjustment is basically completed.
summary
Before taking pictures, 4 think before you act (you can react instantly when you practice a fixed thinking mode):
1. Can the picture elements be less and less?
2. Are there any picture elements that can form rhythm?
3. Can you lower it.
4. Can you come closer.
