Mobile phone photography skills

Nowadays, everyone has the skills of mobile phone photography, and people also like to take pictures with their mobile phones. As long as you master certain skills, the photos taken by mobile phones also have different artistic conception. Let me introduce the skills of mobile phone photography to you.

Skills of mobile phone photography 1 1, slow and 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 appearance of F2.0 large aperture, it is no longer an unreachable 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 skills 2 1. Master 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 skills III. Shoot reflections and reflections with a mobile phone lens.

This is the absolute advantage of mobile phones. If there is water in your environment, then we can give full play to this unique advantage of mobile phones. We can try to find some good-looking angles, put the mobile phone in a lower place and shoot the reflection effect of these layers or lake reflections. If your mobile phone is waterproof, you can try to put the lens of your mobile phone in a small amount of water, so that the reflection and reflection will be more beautiful and bring a beautiful visual experience to the audience.

However, when shooting this photographic subject, you need to pay attention to your own safety and the safety of your mobile phone. We should take protective measures in advance, such as putting a rope on the mobile phone to prevent it from being lost. When shooting, try to find some stable places. You can also use the selfie stick or stabilizer of your mobile phone to assist in shooting. If it is some steep places, it is recommended to find a rope or someone to pull you behind.

If you really can't find a place with water, and want to take such a reflection effect, you can consider pouring a bottle of water on the flat ground or looking for a mirror on the ground. If you don't have a mirror, you can find another mobile phone and use the screen of the mobile phone as a reflective surface, and then adjust the lens of the mobile phone for shooting to the lowest angle. You can also shoot beautiful results.

Take advantage of the weakness of mobile phone lens: glare halo to shoot creative effects.

Too many mobile phone lenses have this problem, that is, the glare problem is not handled well. However, in recent years, some mobile phones have used Zeiss coated lenses with better dimming effect, but this effect still cannot be completely removed. Although this is an inevitable shortcoming of mobile phone lens, if we can make good use of this "shortcoming" when shooting and creating, we can also take very beautiful and dreamy photos.

When using this "short board" of mobile phone lens to shoot and create, we should do a good job of precise control. First of all, make sure that you are shooting against the light, and there is a light source far ahead. At the same time, when shooting the scene, you should move the light source outside the mobile phone screen, and at the same time, you can just let the light from the corner of the light source shine in from the edge of the mobile phone screen, and then you can press the shutter to shoot. Only in this way can we get the creative photos with halo effect we want.

Mobile phones can also make humanistic movies.

Because of the convenience and compactness of the mobile phone, it is not easy to be found by the subject when shooting humanistic subjects. At this time, we can choose the angle and shoot as many as we want. You can choose some folk customs, parks or old streets, and you can also find some places with traditional customs of handicrafts for observation.

Especially those from 4: 00 to 7: 00 in the afternoon, find an environment where light can shine, and shoot and create from the perspective of backlighting or side backlighting, so that you can shoot a humanistic blockbuster with strong three-dimensional sense, story and interest. Humanistic photography works will not be limited by shooting equipment, as long as the photos you take are good enough to reflect the core theme and are representative. It is even possible to win a mobile phone photography award. You can try more if you don't believe me.

Supplement: In fact, there are many subjects that can be photographed by mobile phone photography, such as landscape portraits, red leaves, fallen leaves, ginkgo portraits, slow door light painting and so on. These functions need to be discovered and explored step by step.

Make use of the advantages of mobile APP to achieve efficient retouching and improve the display effect of photos.

If we want to share the photos taken by the mobile phone at the first time and improve the color, level, clarity and overall display effect of the photos, you need to install at least one APP that can professionally color and retouch the pictures on the mobile phone. In the later stage of mobile phone photography, we can remove the unnecessary impurities and elements in the photos and adjust the contrast, white balance, color and color saturation of the photos with software to achieve the desired display effect.

At the same time, you will also find that many photos we take will lack a sense of hierarchy, or feel a layer of mist. At this time, we can defog and ash the photos through the mobile phone retouching APP, and at the same time use the curve tool to adjust the contrast and layering. You can also use the comprehensive idea of mobile phone retouching to strengthen and improve the light and shadow effect in photos.

If you want to master these skills, you can take a look at the following tutorials: Snapseed mobile phone retouching tutorial, finger retouching series tutorial, and post-photography retouching skills.

With the continuous enhancement of mobile phone photography function, the entry threshold of photography has been lowered, and diversified photography creation opportunities and methods have been provided for more photographers. Therefore, as long as we have enough patience and care, try more and practice more, mobile phones can also take excellent photos.
