The essence of photography was not simply the control of light. From a functional point of view, photography was a form of recording information and expressing oneself. Its two most basic functions were recording and expressing. For example, recording their relationship was a recording function of photography, and sending a collection of love scenes to friends to convey their emotions was an expression function. This was the same as writing poems, painting, and composing music. From a practical point of view, photography had many considerations. For example, in terms of composition techniques, the essence of photography was considered to be a reduction. Telephoto lenses could satisfy this reduction requirement. Different scenes required different lenses to compose the shot. For example, some scenes were suitable for ultra-wide angle lenses, and some scenes required the use of guiding lines to compose the shot. These all reflected that photography was not just about light control. However, light control was a very important part of photography. There were many types of light, such as natural light and artificial light. Different types of light had different characteristics and application techniques, such as golden time, blue time, noon light in natural light, and flash, continuous light, soft light box in artificial light. A reasonable control of light could improve the quality of the work, but it could not be concluded that the essence of photography was light control. Read more exciting novels for free
This statement was not completely correct. The essence of photography was multi-dimensional. Recording was one of the essences of photography. It could truly reflect and preserve the things in front of them, the scenes, the time they experienced, the stories, the emotions and impressions they felt. At the same time, photography was also a way to express oneself. It could convey the photographer's emotions and thoughts, and it could show others what they saw and felt like telling a story. In addition, photography could also be used to recognize the essence hidden under the appearance of things in a flash. It could also be reflected in creating beauty. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

You could adjust the camera settings on the computer and shoot remotely. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In portrait photography, one could control the depth of field from the following aspects: 1. ** Aperture **: Aperture value and depth of field are in inverse proportion. Increasing the aperture value (for example, adjusting it from F4 to F2.8) will reduce the depth of field. When shooting a portrait, if you want a small depth of field to blur the background and highlight the main character, you can use a larger aperture. 2. ** In terms of focal length **: The focal length has a similar effect on the depth of field as the aperture. A telephoto lens will reduce the depth of field, while a short focal lens will increase the depth of field. For example, when using an 85mm telephoto lens to shoot a portrait, it was easier to obtain a small depth of field effect compared to a 35mm short focal lens. 3. ** Shooting distance **: The photographer's proximity to the model (shortening the shooting distance) will reduce the depth of field. 4. ** Consider the five elements of depth of field **: - Understanding the concept of the circle of dispersion, the light gathering and spreading before and after the focal point formed a circle of dispersion. There was an acceptable circle of dispersion before and after the focal point, and the distance between these two circles of dispersion was the depth of field. - Photographic imaging could be seen as a combination of the blurring of the front (near point)+ near point (allowed circle of dispersion)+ focal point portrait (clear point)+ far point (allowed circle of dispersion)+ blurring of the back (background). 5. ** Choose according to shooting requirements **: If you want to emphasize the main character, you can choose a small depth of field; if you want to include more background elements, you can choose a larger depth of field. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The China Photographic News Agency, together with the Fujian Province Photographers Association and the Light Industry Group, jointly organized the "Entering the '3+2' of the Light Industry Group" photography event. The event was held in the Gulongjiang Cultural Park. Yang Qingwei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Light Industry Group, attended the event and delivered a speech. He hoped to show the development achievements of the Light Industry Group through photography and promote the spirit of the light industry people.

If the light is dim during photography, you can use the following methods: 1. ** camera settings adjustment ** - ** Increase the lens aperture **: Under the condition that the depth of field is not obviously affected, the aperture setting can be enlarged appropriately to increase the amount of light entering, but it should be noted that a large aperture will reduce the depth of field. - ** Slow down the shooting speed **: If you hold the camera and the subject is not moving quickly, you can reduce the shooting speed near the safe speed. If conditions permit, use a tripod, tripod, and shutter release to stabilize the shooting, which can greatly reduce the shooting speed and reduce the reliance on large apertures. However, the maximum exposure time of a non-B-door camera is generally 30 seconds. - ** Increase sensitivity shooting **: Modern digital cameras have high sensitivity, but as the sensitivity increases, the image quality will decrease, so you have to find a balance point to avoid abusing high sensitivity. 2. ** camera mode operation **: switch the camera to manual mode or adjust the exposure compensation. 3. ** Using light and supplementary lighting measures ** - ** Use of outdoor light **: You can add a soft light screen and change the angle to choose a suitable background. You can adjust the angle between the character and the sunlight according to the desired effect, so that the sunlight can illuminate different areas of the face to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the facial features. When the light is completely backlit, you can use a reflective board to fill the light. When the sky is getting dark, you can use a light fill light (such as a stick lamp). You can use a stick lamp and a V-port battery to hit the reflective board to maximize the light. - ** Add external light source **: Light distribution, light distribution, and supplementary light like in a studio. 4. ** Special Shooting Technique **: When shooting with a mobile phone, you can step back a little and then use the third lens of the mobile phone and turn it to three times. It may make the photo brighter and have a skin-rubbing effect. 5. ** Post-processing **: If the photo is too dark, you can use post-processing software to adjust it. For example, in Snapseed, he could use the White Balance tool to adjust the color temperature and increase the warmth of the color tone, use the Outstanding Details tool to increase the structural value, use the Curved tool to increase the brightness, brighten the image, and make soft contrast, and use the Picture Adjusting tool to improve the color saturation and contrast. You can also use software such as Photoshop to perform the "Automatic Color" command, as well as the "Shadow/Highlight" command to adjust the dark and highlight values, increase the midtone, and increase the trimmed white percentage value to brighten the picture. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
There were many ways to use light in baby photography: 1. ** Natural Light ** - [Soft Natural Light: An ideal choice.] For example, outdoors, the light was bright in the early morning and helped to create a beautiful image and a sense of vitality. It was also easier to control the light on the subject's face and reduce the problem of squinting. In the evening sunset (before sunset, sunset, and after sunset), the light changed from gold to orange and then to purple. The subject would not squint and could freely find the shooting position. However, pay attention to the child's biological clock. The child may be energetic in the morning but may not be suitable for all shooting scenes (such as beach shooting). - ** Side natural light **: For example, the front light (oblique light) at about 45 degrees is more common from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is in line with visual habits. It can make the boundary between light and dark of the subject more obvious and highlight the texture. The 45-degree side light can produce light and shadow arrangement, which makes the picture have depth, presents a three-dimensional effect, and truly shows the surface texture of the subject. 2. ** Artificial light ** - [Warm Light]: A movie light can be placed at the side to create a warm light to create a photo of the baby on film. - ** Lighting in the room **: - Rembrandt lighting: Illuminate three-quarters of the face, and the remaining one-quarter of the shadow is facing the camera. Use side light or side backlight as the main light, and use front light or flat light to assist in lighting. - ** Side Light **: The light from the left and right sides of the subject can produce a clear and strong contrast. - ** Plain Light **: The light source and the camera lens are basically at the same level and in the same direction as the camera's optical axis. Its characteristics were that all parts of the subject were evenly displayed, lacked three-dimensional sense, could only see the light receiving surface of the subject, could hide the defects of the subject, could not change the color tone and shadow tone of the picture, the picture level was flat, and the light and shadow changes were not obvious. However, it was suitable for shooting bright subjects to show dark outlines, and could also make the subject colorful. - ** Top Light **: The light is shot directly above the subject, which is equivalent to a 90-degree angle between the light, the scene, and the lens. When taking pictures indoors, using studio lighting may cause irritation to the baby's eyes and make the baby feel unsafe, but if natural light is used, the baby's skin color will appear natural. However, when there was insufficient natural light in the room, artificial light was also needed. The main purpose of lighting was to illuminate the main body and make the picture more layered and artistic. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
There were many ways and techniques to use light in commercial photography: 1. ** Different types of light and their characteristics ** - ** Straight Light **: The light shines on the person behind the photographer, and the color reproduction is higher than the side light. - ** Front light **: 45 degrees angle to the character, commonly used in shooting. - Side Light: With the photographer as the central axis, the angle between the light and the photographer is 90 degrees, on the pure side of the character. It was often used to portray characters with dual personalities, schizophrenia, or dramatic effects. It was also commonly used in portraits of boys. - ** Side Backlight **: Located 45 degrees behind the character, it can separate the character from the background, enhance the three-dimensional effect of the character, and make the picture more spatial. It is suitable for single-color or real-life shooting. - Backlight: The light that comes from the opposite direction of the camera. It is suitable for shooting women (not especially old). It can express the character's bright, lively, and atmosphere. If the character's hair color was golden, the edges of the hair would be even more beautiful under the light. When backlighting is used, there may be triangular rays (Rembrandt rays) in the dark areas of the character's eyes and cheeks. - [Ghost Light]: Light from the bottom up. Usually used to shoot bad guys or evil people in movies and TV dramas. It is not suitable for portrait photography. However, for customers with thin faces, small chins, and sunken cheeks, they could use a reflective board to fill in the light below to make the chin look full. 2. ** Light Depth-related ** - The depth of light is related to the shooting distance. The closer the lamp is to the subject, the shorter the depth of light, the faster the light transition, and the easier it is to become dark. The further the lamp is from the subject, the longer the depth of light, and the slower the light transition (decay). - The luminous depth can be defined as the range of light decay less than 0.3EV within a certain distance. It can be used in segments for direct light to obtain different lighting effects, such as obvious transition between light and dark, ideal or uniform effects. - When you need to shoot a transition effect, if the picture is very flat, you can move the light forward a little and reduce the power; if you want the brightness of the shooting area to be completely consistent, you can move the light far away and use a large light depth, but use a high-power lamp. After installing the honeycomb network, the light depth did not change, but the brightness decreased significantly. The soft light screen was close to the hard light cover, but the brightness became weaker. The soft light screen moved forward and the light depth became larger. - Being able to use multi-layer light depth and multi-layer light distribution theory to shoot was the advanced stage of commercial photography. One could first use a normal brightness base light, then add a short light depth to create a high light range. 3. ** Different masks and accessories ** - **55° portable standard reflective cover **: When different transition effects are required, the position and power of the lamp can be adjusted. If you want a strong transition between light and dark, you can move the lamp forward a little and reduce the power; if you want the brightness to be uniform, you can move the lamp far away. - **55° portable standard reflective cover + 10° honeycomb network **: Can be used to control the light and make the brightness of the shooting area uniform. - ** Regular Hard Mask **: The center point (hot spot/light center) is the brightest, and there is a reduction in brightness from the center to the edge. If you use the light in the middle of the hard mask, you will get a hard light. If you use the light from the edge of the hot spot to the edge of the hard mask, the light will be soft and uniform. If the light was moved back, the hot spot would weaken and the transition would be softer. - **70° light diffusing mask **: Zooming in, pulling out, or tilting will produce different light effects. The control of the hot spot could be achieved by moving the light back and forth, expanding the hot spot backward and shrinking the hot spot forward. Tilting the angle of the hard light cover and adding a visor to block the light center, directly using the edge light to shine, the light would be very soft. The soft light screen would also produce a corresponding light effect when it was close to the 70° light diffusing cover. A large hard light shield would cause the shadow to have multiple layers of shadows. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
