How to take good-looking photos while traveling. Teach your boyfriend to take photos of his girlfriend.

When traveling, you must take photos, but how to take photos? It is very frustrating to have a friend or boyfriend next to you who cannot take photos. Today, the editor will tell you about taking photos. How can I take good photos quickly? 1

First of all, tell your friend the angle, light and composition you want!

Tell him what to take in and what not to take, tell him that you will stand about Where is it, briefly explain it. If you are someone who can take photos, it will be easier to explain. If you are someone who doesn’t know how to take photos, believe me, even if you give him the same photos for comparison, he won’t be able to get the effect you want. Either it's slanted or the composition lacks this or that. But it still needs to be told. Otherwise, the photos will make you want to cry even more!

Secondly, you must be able to be photographed and be able to look concave.

To take a good-looking photo, it is definitely not for the photographer to tell you how to pose it, but for you to pose it yourself! After telling your friend the picture you want, let him start shooting continuously (press and hold on your iPhone) The photo button means continuous shooting without interruption). Then you slowly walk over and find a position to pose the pos! You can stop continuous shooting when you feel that you are almost at your best. Then choose one or two you like among dozens, dozens, or even more than a hundred photos, and you’ll be successful!

Finally, you need to be able to crop and retouch pictures.

As mentioned before, even if you hold the sample and ask him to take a picture for you, the result will not be the same and may not satisfy you. At this time, you have to rely on your own aesthetics. The twisted shear was straightened horizontally and vertically. If there is a problem with the composition, crop part of it to change the composition. Afterwards, you can simply edit the image with a filter. 2

A Choose the "human shutter" with patience

I think this is the key to taking good photos. Most of my friends who don't know how to take photos have no interest in photography or are very interested in it. Less contact. It is not easy to be a human shutter during the trip, especially in places with strong sunshine or ice and snow. It requires a lot of patience. If you meet a companion who gets impatient after taking only one photo, friends who want beautiful photos can only move to "How to take beautiful photos" "Taking selfies on the go" question. I personally think that it is better for girls to choose "human shutter" than for boys, because most girls like to take selfies and have a certain understanding of composition, and girls generally like to be photographed. If you take beautiful photos of her, she will I'm too embarrassed to abandon you.

B Teaching in advance

Use the time before arriving at the destination to explain some basic knowledge to the other person. Time during the journey is limited. When you get to the location where the scene will be shot, you will explain more. Take your time. For friends who don’t know how to take pictures or use a camera, I will tell them the following first:

1. Familiarize yourself with the camera first, mainly where the shutter is and what it means to half-press the shutter to focus. , if the picture is too dark, how to increase the exposure. Of course, I set most of the parameters when I was framing the scene. I think focus is a very important point for beginners when taking photos. If the composition of a photo is not good, it can be cropped in post-processing. People who are fat or short can be post-processed, but out-of-focus photos have a smaller chance of being usable.

2. Composition, explain some basic composition knowledge, similar to the golden section, the horizon is flat, squat down to take pictures of long legs, don’t put branches on your head, don’t cut off ankles, etc. I won’t go into details here, it would be a lot to write out, but let’s focus on the main contradiction first.

C Points of shooting

1. Trust the other party.

Why do I put this first? I think we need to correct our attitude first and then explain the technology. First of all, you must trust your companions. Regardless of whether they have never been exposed to photography, you must believe that they can take your picture well. Only by encouraging them can you give them a lot of confidence and infect others with your enthusiasm for photography. Don’t complain about one or two photos that don’t meet the requirements, but be grateful to those who are willing to take photos for you. This is one of my favorites in Morocco. I had no guidance and asked my companion to take photos at will, and she captured this scene.

2. Imitation.

First take a picture of what you like for your friend, and then ask her to imitate it exactly.

Of course, deviations may occur during this process. I personally think that most of the time it doesn’t matter. You may have another feeling, and the photos that come out may even be better than imagined. If you have a friend who insists on being exactly the same, then you should pay attention to the factors that may cause deviation during the imitation process.

★ Height differences lead to different framing. You should consider this when framing, because the other person's field of view is different from yours because of the difference in height.

★The camera is not level, so please keep the camera steady and try to keep it consistent with the horizon when you take the view.

★ Position offset, remember the position in the sample, and try not to move.

The following picture is a better imitation. The first picture was taken by me, and the second picture was taken by a friend according to the first picture. Not exactly the same, but both satisfactory.

In some cases, it must be imitated as it is, because if the camera is not in the right position, the picture will not produce the best effect. For example, in the two pictures below, the left picture was taken by me, and the right picture was imitated by a friend. Excluding the model's clothing and not talking about the pose, from the composition point of view, in this photo, I want to show that the ground looks like a reflection in the water due to the reflection. In the picture on the right, the camera position is not low enough, so the characters are not complete enough. At this time, it will appear I asked my friend to take a few more photos of me to achieve the effect I wanted.

The improved effect

3. Take as many photos as possible.

Everyone should have seen photographers taking pictures of models. They take many pictures, so even a master can hardly take a satisfactory picture in one, especially in the digital age. If you are not satisfied, you will delete it. , everyone must not be stingy about pressing the shutter. There are two categories here: posed shots and candid shots.

★Posing. This type is relatively simple. You put in various poses, ask your partner to focus on them, and just press them. This type mainly focuses on whether you are beautiful or not, and whether you are fat or not. The purpose of taking multiple photos is to take beautiful pictures of people from multiple angles and in all directions, and finally choose a photo that you are satisfied with. As shown below:

The error rate of this kind of shooting is relatively low. Generally, at least one out of ten photos can be selected

★Capture.

This is more difficult. Turn the camera into continuous shooting mode, walk around at will, and let your companion press the shutter button continuously. This way of shooting will be more natural, but it is easier to lose focus, so remember to check it when taking a series of photos.

Out of more than 40 consecutive shots, you can probably select about 6 or 7. This way of shooting, there will be many unexpected photos, which are more vivid.

4. Use a tripod.

This is also a kind of imitation, but with a tripod, it can reduce the chance of mistakes by friends, especially for night scenes that already require a tripod. Of course, there is a remote shutter, and you can also take selfies, but it is not easy to focus by yourself, so it is best if you have a friend to help. Using a tripod is a simpler and easier way to learn. Just compose the picture and let your friend press the shutter. 3

1. Please be as self-reliant as possible and understand yourself

Everyone is very busy when traveling and does not have so much time. If you don’t know how to take pictures at all, and you still hope that a master will suddenly appear and take beautiful pictures, isn’t it a bit too harsh on life?

So, please try your best to complete all the tasks you can during the trip. . Be sure to treat all passers-by as super novices and assume they don’t know how to take photos. First check the angle, composition, light, where the person is standing, the intended pose, etc. In addition, in order to take good-looking photos in one shot, I usually use a tripod to take selfies or slowly sum up through many experiments which side of my face looks better and which expression is more suitable. Also, if you can put on makeup, you can do it yourself, and you will be more energetic~

This photo is of my photographer friend Lanthe Lanxi (she also has Mafengwo, you can search it ), but the expression was made by me, hahaha. I think smiling slightly sideways like this can block my big face~

Next, a very important step!! Invite you if you want to come to me A passerby who is a photographer first works as a model.

There are two reasons. First, many girls may not be professional photographers like me. Many times there is a gap between the imaginary picture and the real effect of someone standing there. Second, if it is consistent with my imagination, I will usually show this photo to a well-intentioned passerby. People tend to pay more attention to themselves. When he is in the photo, he will look twice more. Hehe, say Maybe I can take the same beautiful photos for you~

2. How to choose kind-hearted passers-by

The best passer-by photographers should be those who carry SLRs on their backs Those who have cameras, even if they are not really good at photography, at least they have a heart that wants to love photography~

Secondly, girls who are particularly beautiful, generally beautiful girls are more or less If you are less attracted by your own beauty and have studied how to take good-looking photos of yourself, you will naturally know how to take better photos of others.

Third, choose the older brother who seems to like technology more (yes, rely on intuition). Because for a photo that can be processed later, the most basic thing is to keep your hands from shaking and focus on it. There are often tourists whose hands shake the moment they take photos, and then the photos become blurry. If the moment you hand the camera to him, he wants to start shooting without thinking at all and asks you which button to press, he will probably be confused.

3. Focus! Complete! NG encouragement

After completing the above two steps, generally kind people should be able to help take the first photo, but often this photo will also There are all kinds of problems.

First of all, before taking the photo, you can gently remind me about focus, "Remember to click on my face (iphone)",

Or "There will be some noise when taking the photo." Just the beep sound is right (SLR)." If you see that this kind person has trembling hands, basically just thank him directly and in a very nice manner, because according to my experience, a person with trembling hands will always have trembling hands, so it is better not to waste too much time.
