If you want to enter the SLR, you mainly shoot portrait landscapes, and girls use them.

It's not surprising that every photographer or photographer has done something to get started and then get a new higher-end machine, because it won't be a waste of good equipment because you want to give up halfway. The key is to choose the right door, which means that you want to choose Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, etc.

For professional cameras, the so-called full-frame and below-format single-lens reflex cameras are the best to bring, don't think it's heavy, there are much heavier cameras than it, and it is also commonly used by photographers, you see**A lot of ** on **are heavier than it guys, let's use SLR is for good tape.

If you go out to play and take some portraits, landscapes, and have a look, you can surpass the card machine around you, understand the relationship between depth of field aperture, focal length and perspective, and use mirrorless mirrors. As long as you don't shoot birds, you don't shoot sports meets, focusing is not a problem.

If you're looking for a whole shot like photography** or a blockbuster in a magazine, a DSLR is the way to go.

Choose a DSLR, start by understanding the lens, not the body, communicate more with the uncle, and borrow more machines to have fun.

If you want to buy a professional one, it's too heavy.

I don't want to change the machine all the time, I still want to do it in one step, do you think there is?

You don't know how fast digital is going to change now.

I don't know anything about photography, and it's a waste to buy a good machine, so you just buy a card, and if you really have money, you can buy ten cards and shoot them.

One by one, one friend, give everyone a share, that many wrists! Don't buy a DSLR and use it in front of a card with a professional machine, it will make others laugh.

DID YOU KNOW?

The rich second generation, it's not bad for money, it's Leica, the sensor is big, and the imaging is good! As for the single electric, chicken ribs!

Although portrait mode can also be realized on mobile phones now, the imaging effect of SLR is incomparable to that of mobile phones, so let's talk about how to use SLR to shoot portraits.

1.Aperture

Use a wide aperture such as f. The 50mm f is a great one for only a few hundred pieces. Lens. On an APS-C format camera, the 50mm lens has an equivalent focal length of 80mm, which is ideal for portraits.

2.Shadows with uniform light

Place the model in a shaded area and evenly shine on the model's face. It's best to have the model standing in the shadows facing the light.

3.Focus on the eyes

If you're using a wide-aperture lens, it's important to keep the focus on your eyes. Other areas of the face are slightly out of focus at a shallow depth of field. To enhance this effect, you need to shoot close to the model, preferably close-up.

4.Choose your aperture carefully

If you want to shoot a full-body portrait, choose your aperture carefully so that all parts of the model's body are within the depth of field. If you also use a wide aperture such as f, the depth of field will be too shallow. Shrink the aperture to f while ensuring that the shutter speed is not less than 1 125s, and increase the sensitivity or fill in the light if necessary.

This combination is just a suggestion, and you can try different combinations to find the best setup.

5.Manual mode

Many articles recommend using the aperture priority mode. This is fine in the first month of your first month with the camera. But if you want to shoot better, you have to learn to use manual mode.

6.Eye light

Make sure there is some reflection in the model's eyes. This can be done even in the shadows, just keep the model oriented to the light source.

7.Props

Don't leave the model empty-handed, give them something to hold. A commonly used prop is a bouquet, and even a man can take a picture with a bouquet.

8.Pay attention to the background

Let the back chain envy the scene have light or be in the shadow, in short, to keep it simple, the model is the main body of the picture. When shooting outdoors, it's best to choose an open background rather than a bush or wall.

9.Costumes

Spend some time in the studio and pay attention to the model's clothing. Clothing and accessories are also part of the picture, and as a visual creator, you should have a choice.

10.Learn Photoshop

Learning to use Photoshop can be very helpful in your work. In addition to basic operations, you should also learn to find and use "actions". These technologies can improve the quality by several levels.

The methods of using SLR to take portraits are: pay attention to adjust the ISO of the SLR camera first, pay attention to the main body of the person as much as possible, pay attention to the problem of selecting the angle of the person, and pay attention to the overall tone contrast and saturation.

1. First of all, you need to pay attention to adjusting the ISO of the SLR camera. Only by lowering the ISO will the noise be reduced and the photo quality will be higher.

2. It should be noted that the main body of the character should be highlighted as much as possible, which requires reducing the depth of field, if you want to reduce the depth of field, you need to adjust the size of the aperture. Generally, I come to the orange shed and say that I can make the aperture as wide as possible.

3. You also need to pay attention to the angle and choose the best angle for a character. Generally speaking, Wu Yao can choose to shoot down at an angle of 45° obliquely upward, so that he can look thinner.

4. It is also necessary to control the overall tone contrast, elevation and saturation, only in this way can the ** shot make people appear more vivid.

Use the aperture priority setting, then adjust the lens aperture to the maximum aperture (or the next aperture if it is a non-professional zoom lens), use the actual focal length of 50 85 (Canon scale*, Nikon Sony Pentax scale*), and be 1 2 meters away from the subject.

Portrait mode makes it easy to capture beautiful people**. Not only does the camera automatically select the focus point, but the image quality is also set to a mode that is more suitable for shooting people.

Step Method.

Basic settings, compared to the regular fully automatic mode, the camera settings of Portrait mode have two major characteristics. One feature is the use of the aperture effect to blur the background. The aperture value of Portrait mode is automatically set close to the minimum aperture value of the lens being used (the aperture blades are fully open and the maximum amount of light passes through).

Increase the degree of background blur with the aperture effect to highlight the character and make it more eye-catching. Another feature is the use of **style to adjust **shades** to make the texture of the skin softer. In addition, ** is also relatively bright, making ** appear fairer.

Although the color tone does not change drastically, the skin of the characters will be slightly pink, making the characters appear healthier and more energetic.

Adopt bold compositions.

When composing a portrait photo, the most important thing is where to place the person in the frame. In addition, how to intercept the characters is also a headache. If you use the usual shooting method, it is easy to fall into the stereotypical pattern of ID photos.

So you should be bold enough to crop, or carefully look for the right angle to shoot and try to shoot people in an artistic style.

The top of the head can be cut off when shooting close-ups.

When shooting close-ups, such as cutting out the upper part of the head, you can make the person's expression more prominent. At the same time, you should leave a certain amount of white space on the left or right side, which can make the composition more coordinated. There is no set requirement for how to leave the remaining space, but it is best to leave the residual white space on the sideways side of the character's face for a more natural effect.

Use a low-angle upward shot to change the composition.

It's also a good idea to shoot people from a low angle. You can get an artistic effect. It is more effective if it is used with a wide-angle lens.

A prime lens is good for portraits.

No matter what object you shoot, as long as it is a camera that can manually control the shutter and aperture, it is a camera that can shoot well; In addition, it is the requirements for the lens, and the lens with the appropriate focal length is usually used to shoot different objects and angles due to different framing ranges; Finally, look at the requirements of the output image, if you require the output of a large size in the future, it is best to use a single-lens reflex and mirrorless camera with a large area of the image sensor;

When shooting portraits, you should use a lens with a focal length of 70 135mm and a wider aperture than possible, which has less perspective distortion and stronger background blur function, and can take good portraits at a slightly farther distance without affecting the subject.

Landscape photography should use a wide-angle lens with a focal length of less than 35mm as much as possible, on the one hand, the shooting angle is wide, which can accommodate more scenes, and on the other hand, it can use its exaggerated deformation to make the picture more visually impactful, which is conducive to making people feel like they are on the scene.

If the camera also has an HDR function, it is also more conducive to shooting landscape photos with large contrast between morning and evening light, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it, you can use a tripod to support it, and use the computer to synthesize HDR scenery in post-production**.

Finally, if you want to publish a brochure or enlarge a slightly larger wall, it's best to use a camera with a higher pixel area.

How to choose Nikon for landscape and Canon portrait camera brands.

Don't want a DSLR, and feel that the card machine is not good, then you can only improve your own level. In many cases, whether you shoot well or not has little to do with the equipment, and it is understandable that the focal length is inconvenient. Can't get the shot?

Let's use a tripod. Not delicate enough? Let's do post-dermabrasion.

Even if the SLR is not just a direct JPEG and not a good ** in the later stage, let alone DC.

The camera is not important, what matters is the lens, and of course I mean the DSLR. For single-shot portraits, a 105 mm prime head or a 70 200 mm zoom head is recommended. A 24 70 zoom lens or a 14 24 wide-angle zoom lens is recommended for single landscapes.

If you have to use DC, it is recommended to buy a Canon G12, which works well. You can set it to landscape mode when shooting landscapes and use portrait mode when shooting portraits.

The head behind the camera is more important.

Buy a copy of the Photography Bible first.

Let's go back and summarize the previous **.

You can see what's wrong.

If you really want to change the camera, then LX3 G11.

Standby SLR.

Skills first, equipment second, what you lack is technology, hehe......
