What is the shutter priority suitable for shooting?

Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. The following is what I arranged for you, suitable for shooting first, for reference only, I hope it will help you.

Contrary to aperture priority, shutter priority is to manually define the shutter value of exposure, and the camera will determine the aperture size according to this shutter value.

Set the camera dial to S, or set the exposure mode to S in the menu, which is the shutter priority function.

Shutter priority is mostly used to shoot moving objects, such as sports, moving vehicles, waterfalls, flying objects, fireworks, water droplets and so on. Many friends find that when shooting moving objects, the subject is often blurred, mostly because the shutter speed is not fast enough. In this case, you can use the shutter priority mode, roughly determine a shutter value, and then shoot. And the motion of the object is generally regular, then the shutter value can also be roughly estimated. For example, the shutter speed for photographing pedestrians is only1125 seconds, while it takes11000 seconds for photographing falling water droplets.

For example, I set off this fireworks on National Day last year, using shutter priority.

In order to get the effect of large fireworks, I manually set the shutter value to 8 seconds, so I took a colorful fireworks picture. If you don't use shutter priority, but use aperture priority or automatic exposure, then the fireworks screen may be just a few "sparks" because the exposure time is too short.

Aperture priority guide This lesson first talks about what aperture priority is and when to use aperture priority. As for what the aperture is, I won't say it. Please check the information first to see if your camera has aperture priority function. Aperture-first cameras usually have a function dial. Turning to the letter "A" means that the aperture is preferred. Some set aperture priority in the menu. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and the camera will decide the shutter speed according to this aperture value. Because the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is most widely used in ordinary shooting. When shooting portraits, we usually use large aperture and long focal length to blur the background and get a shallow depth of field, which can highlight the subject. At the same time, a larger aperture can also obtain a faster shutter value, thus improving the stability of hand-held shooting. When taking photos such as scenery, we often use a smaller aperture value, so that the range of depth of field is wider, which can make the distant and nearby scenery clear, which is also applicable when shooting night scenes.

However, for lenses with poor quality, the picture quality will be affected to a certain extent when the aperture is fully open, and the lens with small aperture usually has better picture quality.

Shooting skills of slow shutter

Light painting

Light is the basic element of creating photos. Maybe we are often troubled by scattered light. Fix the camera on a tripod, and use RST-720 1 timing cable to slow down the shutter speed, so that you can personally control the light performance in the scene you designed. Try using different light sources: a string of lights, candles or anything at hand. In this photo, I let a friend stand in a completely dark room and set the shutter speed at about enough time for me to walk around him with a candle (8 seconds). His face was illuminated by candlelight, and the flame in the photo wavered because I walked very fast. This photo creates a little evil atmosphere, it doesn't matter, it's just an attempt.

Expression movement

Ambiguity is not always a bad thing, especially when you want to express a moving scene. Find a scene that only shows motion resistance and try to shoot it. In this photo, I set the shutter speed slow enough to shoot the moving picture of the merry-go-round, and fast enough to allow me to shoot with my camera and make sure that the children in the foreground are clear (1/20 seconds). It would be better if a tripod could be used, but there was no tripod available at that time, so we had to take more pictures and choose one that was available.

drive a vehicle at night

It's interesting to use the shutter to create special effects to make the photos look like they were taken in broad daylight. This photo was taken at 10 in the evening, a dark night. At that time, the moon came out completely, the camera was bathed in moonlight, and the shutter time was 30 seconds, and the colors in the scene became vivid. When I took this photo, because it was too dark, I didn't know there was a man sitting on a stone. He was staring at the sea. I like the effect of sea water flowing. The waves are as beautiful as clouds.
