recently received a message from a netizen, saying that the photos he took were always unclear. He also learned many methods from others, but when he actually used them, he couldn't remember them. Is there a method that is easier to remember and easier to master?
saw the comments from netizens and was deeply touched. I remember when I first started learning to take pictures, I bought a Canon 550D. After getting the machine, I went home and messed with it until late at night. The photos I took were never clear. The feeling at that time is really indescribable.
Indeed, the photos we take ensure that the subject is clearly visible. This is the basic skill for learning photography and the minimum requirement for visual performance in photography.
In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to make it easy for friends to take clear photos? Therefore, I wanted to use formulas to summarize the most important shooting essentials. The essentials are summarized as follows. To make photos clearer, eight sentences should be kept in mind:
The subject should be selected carefully, and the appearance features should be novel.
Be sure to pay attention to the focus. The focus must be on the subject.
The use of light and shadow is the soul, and making good use of light and shadow is more advanced.
Remember not to overexpose, and the bright colors will not overflow.
The background is messy and needs to be blurred, so that the main body can have impact.
The element layout is dense and dense, and the visual experience is breathable.
The color combination should be harmonious, with contrast between light, dark and bright gray.
Picture elements should be streamlined, pleasing to the eye and clearer.
is convenient for everyone to understand and master well. The above eight sentences will be elaborated below.
The first sentence: The main body should be selected carefully, and the appearance and characteristics should be novel.
Some people say that the choice of the subject has nothing to do with the clarity of the photo, but I think it must be related. If the subject is chosen to be very distinctive and novel, it will be visually clearer and easier for the audience to experience. to the content of the photo. Therefore, the main body must be selected carefully and the appearance features must be novel.
The second sentence: You must pay attention to focusing, the focus must be on the subject.
Speaking of focusing, it seems simple, but when we actually shoot, it is easy to lose focus. Either it’s the shooting distance, the aperture size, the shutter speed, etc. This results in blurred subject elements, thereby reducing the success rate of photo shooting. If the main element is not clear, the photo is basically useless. Therefore, you must pay attention to the focus of , and the focus must be on the subject.
The third sentence: The use of light and shadow is the soul, and making good use of light and shadow is more advanced.
The use of light and shadow is also a difficult problem in photography. Many beginners have no direction in the use of light and shadow. But the use of light and shadow is very important in photographic expression. We need to have an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of light and shadow, such as forward light, side light, backlight, top light , bottom light and other light directions. We must have an in-depth understanding before we can better use light and shadow.
The fourth sentence: Remember not to overexpose, and the bright colors will not overflow.
When we expose, under normal circumstances, we should not overexpose. Once overexposure occurs, the bright part of the photo subject will be a solid color, or it is called color overflow. The highlight part will appear "dead white", and the picture will lack a sense of hierarchy. At the same time, it will also affect the clarity of the picture.
The fifth sentence: The cluttered background must be blurred so that the main body can have impact.
If we encounter a cluttered background in real shooting, it will seriously affect the visual expression of the main elements.At this time, we need to use a large aperture or telephoto to blur the background. After the background elements are blurred, the main elements will be more prominent and the visual impact will be stronger. Of course, the visual experience will also be clearer.
The sixth sentence: The element layout is dense and dense, and the visual experience is breathable.
Density contrast, this is a composition factor. The element layout of a photo should have density contrast, which not only enhances the rhythm and rhythm of the picture, but also enhances the visual breathing of the picture. Let the audience's vision have space to rest, they will not feel fatigue, and their vision will be clearer.
The seventh sentence: Color matching should be harmonious, with contrast between light and dark, bright gray.
Color matching is also very important to the clarity of photos, especially the contrast between primary and secondary colors. If there is no contrast in the colors in the photo, the photo will still appear unclear. For example, if there is insufficient contrast between light and dark, or insufficient contrast between bright gray, a gray visual effect will occur.
The eighth sentence: The picture elements should be streamlined to make it more pleasing to the eye and clearer.
If the photos we take have streamlined elements, prominent subjects, reasonable exposure, harmonious colors, and balanced light and shade, the pictures will convey a pleasing visual experience. Of course, photos will also create a clear impression in the brains of viewers.
In summary, if the photos you take are not clear, you must first find the reason for the unclearness, and then find a solution based on the reason. Taking a good photo is not easy. There are many factors involved. We need to constantly summarize and practice to find our own shooting method, which is the ultimate goal.
