How to take a good look at the stone

The ways to see the stone well are: adjusting the angle, adjusting the light, adjusting the focal length, adjusting the color, adjusting the contrast and so on.

1, adjust the angle

When shooting, properly adjust the angle and let the sun shine on the stone properly, which will make the stone more textured and three-dimensional. Try to use a tripod. When shooting, don't hold the camera in both hands, but hold it in one hand, put your elbow on your body and press the shutter in the other.

Step 2 adjust the light

Adjust the light properly when shooting, so that the light shines evenly on the stone, so that the stone will be brighter and more vivid. Direct light should be avoided indoors. If possible, use reflective umbrella (board) to fill the light, and add soft light material in front of the lamp. If you can't afford it, find at least two eye protection lamps, place them at a 45-degree angle in front of the stone, and adjust the distance.

Step 3 adjust the focal length

Adjust the focal length properly when shooting to make the details of the stone clearer and more delicate. It is best to focus on a plane, not a reflecting surface. Reflection is one of the reasons why the image is weak due to the failure of focusing. It is best to find a place with fine lines on a stone to focus on, so as to see clearly whether it is clear or not. When you press the shutter completely, don't use your fingers too hard or too fast. Ensure that the camera does not shake, which is also a reason for the unclear picture.

Step 4 adjust the color

Adjust the color properly when shooting to make the color of the stone more vivid and layered. Generally speaking, light color is appropriate, not too bright or too straight, which will cause color cast or weakness. You can also use black silk flannel as the background, without projection and reflection, highlighting the stone theme.

Step 5 adjust the contrast

Adjust the contrast properly when shooting to make the details of the stone more prominent and layered. In order to improve the contrast of stones, measures such as oiling and soaking can be taken.
