Tips for taking photos during outings

Naturally, you should record your travels well, and bring a camera to freeze the beautiful journey. When it comes to taking pictures when traveling, although the camera function of mobile phones has basically replaced the camera.

Live" a group of fans. Even though there are many uncertainties in every shooting, it is this sense of surprise like opening a blind box that has become an important reason for people to choose Polaroids.

For novices, if they want to take more satisfactory photos, they only need to master two skills, pay attention to the use of exposure and framing composition. Let’s take the Fuji instax WIDE 300 instant imaging camera as an example. Let’s talk about how to get started quickly.

Exposure compensation and flash use: The WIDE 300 camera is equipped with a display screen in the upper left corner of the back, where you can view the amount of photo paper remaining and the current settings of the camera. The two buttons in the upper right corner can respectively set the exposure compensation for shooting and the flash switch. When taking photos indoors, pay special attention to the ambient light. For Polaroids, although the environment looks bright, it may not be enough. If the photos taken are too dark, then you should consider increasing exposure compensation or using flash to fill in the environment.

How to compose the photo to make the photo more beautiful: Polaroids are all "rangefinder", so there will be parallax. To put it simply, the image seen in the viewfinder will be different from the final rendering of the photo. The photo will have a larger part than the image seen in the viewfinder. Therefore, when composing your shot, try to avoid letting the subject fill the entire frame. Make reasonable use of the position near the small circle in the center to compose the picture, place the subject here, and avoid using edge composition methods.
