Mobile phone photography technology and skills, taking pictures is something that many people like in our lives, but not everyone has the skills to take pictures. In fact, mobile phone photography can also take many high-quality pictures. The following mobile phone photography techniques and skills.
Mobile phone photography technology and skills 1 1, master the light and mode adjustment
Anyone who has a certain knowledge of photography knows that light is an important factor affecting the imaging quality. Mobile phone cameras, like cameras, have high requirements for light. Therefore, if you want to shoot a good work, you must choose good lighting conditions and try to avoid shooting in the back light. Some mobile phones can meet the light source through external conditions, and can also be adjusted through the built-in auxiliary functions of the mobile phone:
1, adjust the brightness. Many mobile phones can adjust the brightness of the camera and can be used when the light is insufficient.
2. Night mode. It can be used not only at night, but also in night mode in case of insufficient light during the day to obtain better brightness. It's just that it takes a long time to take a picture after turning on this mode. If your hands shake slightly, the photos you take will have double images.
Step 3 flash. The flash on the mobile phone is actually a bright LED light, which can effectively fill the light when turned on, but the effective distance is relatively short, which is suitable for close-up shooting.
Second, coordinate hand holding and shooting posture.
Users who like to take photos with their mobile phones may be impressed. The camera phone is only that big and weighs less than half of the ordinary traditional camera. If you are not steady when shooting, even the best light will be ugly. In particular, CMOS cameras are more sensitive, and slight vibration will directly affect the imaging effect. When shooting, the right hand holds the camera at the subject, and then the left hand holds the right hand to keep it stable.
Because the response speed of the mobile phone is not as fast as that of the camera, it is not taken immediately after the camera shutter is pressed, but only when the shutter sound rings, so it is best to set the shutter sound when taking pictures, and the mobile phone must be held firmly when taking pictures. Especially when you press the camera function key, if you move at this time, the picture you take may be blurred, so you must keep a steady posture until you take a picture.
Third, pay attention to the parallelism between the mobile phone and the scenery.
If your photography skills are not good enough, and you haven't reached the level of freely using the perspective, you must pay attention to the parallelism between the mobile phone and the scene when shooting, that is, the plane where the mobile phone is located should be parallel to the plane where the scene is located, especially when shooting beautiful MM. If you don't master it well, the portrait will be easily deformed.
Fourth, your brainwave.
In fact, many good photos are brain waves from the brain. Nowadays, the camera phone is more and more powerful, and various styles of photo frames have various shooting effects. You can give full play to your imagination and skillfully combine various functions. Perhaps your photos are not only different, but also rare creative works.
Here, I only talked about some basic skills of taking pictures. What's more important is the significance of taking pictures, showing the truest side with the most ordinary pictures. Show the most beautiful world with the simplest colors, and I believe your life will be more exciting.
Mobile phone photography technology and skills 2 1, keep steady
Users who like to take photos with their mobile phones may be deeply touched. The camera phone is only that big and weighs less than half of the ordinary traditional camera. If you don't hold your hand steadily when shooting, even the best light will be ugly. In particular, CMOS cameras are more sensitive, and slight vibration will directly affect the imaging effect.
2. Light is very important
Light is very important to take good photos. Try to avoid backlighting. Some mobile phones can not only meet the light source through external conditions, but also be adjusted through the built-in auxiliary functions of the mobile phone. For example, adjust brightness, night scene mode, flash and other different modes.
3. framing is as important as composition.
Beginners often put the subject in the center of the picture and press the shutter directly after focusing. This stereotyped composition is not vivid enough, so it is suggested that photographers use "three-way" composition, that is, in the actual photographic composition, the scene of the subject is slightly staggered from the center, and attention should be paid to the echo of the subject with other objects. In the above picture, you choose to shoot people in the rear, leaving a certain space to make the picture deeper.
Step 4 choose the right angle
Choose an appropriate angle to avoid reflection and halo. When shooting objects in the glass window, try to shoot at an oblique angle of 45 degrees, which can effectively avoid the reflection of the glass; Halo can also be effectively avoided by increasing the shooting angle or changing the position during backlight shooting. In the process of shooting, users must take as many photos as possible, so as to screen out the best photos.
5. Portrait shooting pays attention to composition
There are always the most people in the photos taken by mobile phones. It is not only convenient to record life, but also convenient to share with friends in online communities such as Weibo. Try to fill the picture with the subject, so as to highlight the characteristics of the subject. Use composition to attract the attention of the photo to the subject and avoid being overwhelmed by the background.
6. Avoid backlighting when shooting scenery.
Scenery shooting is also an important application of mobile phone shooting. Taking scenery is different from taking portraits, and it pays more attention to the application of wide frame and wide angle. First of all, try to avoid taking pictures against the light. Mobile phones require high light, too strong light is easy to overexpose, and too weak light is insufficient, so the most important thing to take pictures is to grasp the light.
7. Choose landscape mode
When shooting scenery, you can choose landscape mode and sports mode, and the photos you take are better. In the process of taking pictures, sometimes the images on the screen will be very dark or too bright. At this time, you can move the shooting angle of the mobile phone slightly, sometimes it will show better results. This shooting method is more suitable for friends who travel frequently and like to record the scenery along the way.
8, timely use of macro effects.
When shooting still life details, you can use macro shooting appropriately, which can better reflect the details of the subject.
9. Learn to choose scenes when shooting at night.
The ability of mobile phones to shoot night scenes is actually not strong, and it is more difficult to shoot night scenes. However, with the improvement of mobile phone's own pixels and the emergence of F2 and 0 apertures, it is no longer an unattainable dream to shoot beautiful night scenes with mobile phones. First of all, when shooting night scenes, you need to choose scenes with strong light and bright colors to shoot. Mobile phone night scene shooting mode can be adopted to avoid the difference of shooting effect caused by jitter during shooting.
10, event capture
The popularity of mobile phone shooting lies in its portability. First of all, put the phone in the camera shooting state, ready to shoot at any time. The picture above is a documentary photo taken by a friend who participated in the color run with his mobile phone. Remember to protect your mobile phone when shooting in this "dangerous" environment.
1 1, waiting for the best picture.
Although art comes from life, it is higher than life after all. Not every scene, every time can form a wonderful image. Photography is a choice, a photographer's choice of all factors, which time to choose, which scene to choose and so on. If you want to get a good picture, you must pay enough patience and wait for the best picture. At this point, the elements of this photo have appeared in your mind, but the sun has been slow to reach the position you imagined. At this time, the only way, which is also the routine of photographers, is to wait for the best moment to appear.
Mobile phone photography technology and skills 3 1, mobile phones can also play with light and shadow.
If you know some basic photography knowledge, you will know that photography is inseparable from light, so when we play mobile phone photography, we should also master and look for the elements of light and shadow, such as silhouette under backlight, reflection under side light, or some dreamy light effects produced during backlight. Smooth detail display under smooth light and so on.
Especially when shooting against the light, letting the light pass through one object and cast it on another can make the photo more layered and transparent. This is more suitable for sunny afternoon or sunny afternoon. You can find some flower themes to create. Of course, leaves are also possible.
When you learn how to use light, you can also achieve the effect of artificial rainbow. It's actually quite simple. We can buy a prism online, let the light beam pass through the prism, and it will form a beautiful rainbow effect. At this time, you can get a very interesting picture by refracting the rainbow on your flowers or something interesting.
Where there is light, there is shadow. Don't forget that sometimes it's interesting to shoot shadows with your mobile phone. Can add infinite imagination and interest to the audience. Of course, the above method is also good for taking portraits, such as the combination of portraits and shadows, such as the portrait silhouette effect mentioned above, such as the beautiful beach portrait under backlight, and the facula effect formed by the light beam from the window hitting the face.
2. Uniform tone will make your mobile phone photograph by going up one flight of stairs.
Many partners will send their works to the circle of friends immediately after shooting them with their mobile phones, but what I want to say here is, don't worry, first make a simple post-color matching on the mobile phone and unify the colors before releasing them, which will get a better visual unification effect.
Human vision and psychology always like to combine objects with similar colors or laws, which can form a stronger sense of lineup and psychological unity, which is also the fundamental reason why many experienced photographers will definitely unify the colors of their series of works. If you master this skill, you will feel more comfortable putting photos of the same color together.
Step 3 find the composition around you
Seeing this, some partners will think that the frame is too difficult to find, but I want to say that in fact, the frame composition is not difficult to find at all, such as the window of your hotel, it would be better if there is a wide view outside the window. Another example is the window when we fly by plane or high-speed rail, which can form a frame composition.
In fact, there are hidden frames, such as regular objects or spatial frames formed by plants, which are good scene selection objects.
4. Shoot the same object into a multi-angle series.
This technique is particularly practical in travel, and I have tried it every time. For example, when we see some beautiful things or interesting objects during our trip, we can try to shoot from these angles and framing methods, such as close-range shooting, middle part shooting and distant view shooting to show the environment.
If it is a portrait, you can shoot emotions from the side and take a panoramic view from the front. At the same time, you can take photos of relevant parts of your body, such as your eyes or holding hands. Coupled with a landscape, a series of beautiful blockbusters came out. Is it interesting to shoot like this?
5. The regularity and repeatability of shooting things around you.
This skill is also very common, but many partners will ignore it and always focus on a single individual. So at this time we can adjust our thinking mode, such as tulips, Chinese rose flowers, or daisies. You can also shoot regular objects, such as interesting zebra crossings, or regular guardrail, or red petals falling all over the floor. Of course, if you go to the aquarium, don't always stare at a big fish, you can shoot those tropical fish covered in colors. It is also a good subject for shooting.
If you come across those regular boxes or interesting decorations placed in front of the shop on your trip, you can also take pictures. But you have to get closer and get rid of those extra sundries. If you are traveling abroad, you should pay attention to obtaining the consent of the subject owner before shooting. Some foreign personal belongings are not allowed to take pictures even if they are placed outside.
6. There are many interesting things when traveling, so how can those interesting things not be photographed?
If you go to some entertainment places, such as the kite field in tourist attractions or the gliding field where you can fly at high altitude, you can give full play to the zoom technology of your mobile phone and shoot interesting kites, parachutes and gliders.
Of course, you can also shoot some interesting graffiti walls, billboards, or goods regularly placed in convenience stores and shopping machines, such as chicken feather wine in shops and supermarkets.
Actually, there are many interesting things. You can also shoot the covers of those interesting books in the bookstore, spiral stairs with artistic space effect, abstract paintings in the studio, and some directional signs with shapes and connotations. Be careful not to have too much background or surrounding impurities when shooting. This can make the photos more intuitive and concise.
7. How to live up to the local food during the trip?
When we go out to travel, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, local specialties are also a good scenery. As a foodie who loves to travel, before enjoying these special foods, we also forgot to pick up your mobile phone for disinfection and take pictures of these classic and mouth-watering foods.
You can shoot from a vertical angle, add a delicate pendulum, and then optimize the color of these foods with warm or cold tones, and the effect will be better. When shooting, remember to adjust the light and composition. If the light is not bright enough, don't forget to use the flashlight or flash function on your mobile phone. Or directly use the preset filter effect provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
8. On the way to travel, don't forget to look up to see if there are beautiful clouds in the sky.
Remember to look up at the sky if you encounter excellent weather during your trip. Maybe you can find that unusual cloud with your heart. At this time, let the function of shooting the sky filter in the mobile phone be fully exerted, and you can shoot amazing blue sky and white clouds.
When shooting the sky, we can also adjust the angle of the mobile phone to the lowest angle, and then find a suitable foreground subject, so that the subject appears in the sky background, so that you can shoot a minimalist and beautiful photo blockbuster.
Then the elements of the sky can be applied to many aspects, such as portraits, such as taking flowers, such as reeds fluttering in the wind, or kites and birds flying in the sky, airplanes and so on. It can also be applied to portrait photography. Let's find a relative angle, so that people can have a blue sky in the background, and it is also beautiful.
9, mobile phones can also shoot the beauty of light and dark contrast.
The beauty of contrast between light and shade is not limited to black and white, but also can be manifested in many other aspects, such as the depth of color, light and shade, etc. When traveling outside, we can have many opportunities to take such photos, such as going to a coffee shop or a tea room when relaxing, and we will have the opportunity to take photos with heavy feelings and color contrast.
When shooting, you can pay attention to the control of light and color, such as lighting the main area with a flashlight in a dark environment, or covering some elements with different colors of cloth or cardboard. You can also block a part of the light beam in the dark, so that the main body is half bright and half dark, which can also form a good contrast effect.
10, don't forget that street shooting is also a good theme when traveling.
It is a good choice to shoot the theme on the street during the trip. For example, we can take a camera when walking around, go to some intersections or old streets to observe and find some moments that will happen soon, and then record them with our mobile phones. If we are careful, maybe we can make a big movie. For example, pedestrians crossing the road at our common crossroads, or craftsmen making handicrafts, children playing, bicycles parked on the side of the road, vendors selling delicious snacks and so on.
The photography theme of humanistic street shooting has unique visual charm, which can convey the local customs, folk culture, living conditions and historical elements to the audience. If you like this kind of subject matter, you can start from these points to find and shoot the subject matter you want.
1 1, mobile phone photography can also be played with blank space and take minimalist photos.
In fact, the skills of taking minimalist photos have been shared with you in the previous article "Six Ideas for Taking Minimalist Photos, General Photography Skills for Mobile Phones and Cameras". When it comes to minimalist style, we can understand it this way, that is, leave enough white space for photos and strictly control composition. In fact, this method is very common in photography, and it can also let you learn to shoot with the subtraction principle in photography.
You can find those solid background, simple background and regular background; We can influence the blank space and background by shooting angle, shooting position or artificially. When you master these skills, you will find that it is as simple as that to take a good and simple photo with blank space.
12, mobile phones can also shoot the micro-world.
In fact, it is also possible to take macro shots with mobile phones now. Although it is not as powerful as a professional lens, it is enough to send friends and share. The advantage of mobile photography is lightness and flexibility. Coupled with the continuous optimization and strengthening of photography functions by mobile phone manufacturers, mobile phones also have the ability to shoot the micro-world at close range.
We can take pictures of flowers, insects, water droplets, or some hand-painted works, or some miniature works of art around us by using the miniature photography function of mobile phones. You can find it and film it if you want.
13, who said that mobile phones can't shoot night scenes?
Having said that, I believe that many partners have not used the professional shooting mode of mobile phones so far, so please turn on your mobile phones to observe and learn to use the professional shooting mode on your mobile phones. This mode simulates the shooting function of a professional SLR camera, and can freely adjust the shooting parameters such as ISO sensitivity, S shutter speed, shooting mode and white balance.
When you learn how to use these, we can shoot the night view of the city according to the characteristics of the mobile phone. We can slow down the shutter speed, improve the sensitivity and adjust the white balance to shoot our common night view cities, or paint at night and draw the tail of the car.
14, using raindrops as the foreground
This idea of shooting is not uncommon. In the rain or after the rain, the glass window or window will be covered with water droplets, but it is relatively transparent. At this time, we can use these glass windows full of water droplets to take the photos we want, which can be used as a foreground to take a hazy and mysterious feeling.
In addition, when shooting high beam on glass stained with water droplets, natural facula effect can be formed through water droplets. This effect is also very beautiful. If the weather in your scenic spot is like this, I suggest you try this shooting method, and you can also shoot excellent and enviable scenic blockbusters.
15, with monitor screen as background.
This is a shooting technique that you don't even have to go out at home. You can shoot at will. Of course, your mobile phone must have a theme that can be photographed, such as human dolls, small floral ornaments, or other objects that you find interesting. You can use the large aperture or portrait shooting function and macro shooting function of the mobile phone to shoot the desired effect.
As for what background you want to use, you can choose at will. As long as you think it fits your shooting theme.
Having said that, have you found that mobile phone photography can also have many subjects to shoot? In fact, in our ordinary life, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to discover, you will feel that there are many themes in life that can be used for photography. As long as you carefully observe and carefully arrange, you will be able to shoot satisfactory works.
