How to use the high sensitivity of tourism photography flexibly

Lead: How to use the high sensitivity of tourism photography flexibly? How to take bright and pure photos? Let me tell you something, hoping to help you.

1. What effect does the improvement of ultra-high sensitivity have on overseas travel photography?

The most direct impact is that the time spent using the tripod is greatly reduced. In the past, tripod and cable were necessary equipment when shooting night scenes or night scenes, but now most of these scenes can be shot by hand. This performance is not only based on the innovation of ultra-high sensitivity, but also the evolution of anti-shake function. For tourism photography, the combination of high sensitivity and anti-shake function can be said to be invincible.

As mentioned before, the tripod can not only really arrange the composition, but also be used as a convenient base for fixing the camera even in the scene where the high-speed shutter can be used. However, in many restricted overseas trips, if you don't need a tripod, you can save energy and time, and you can go to more places to shoot. This alone has infinite charm.

Digital cameras decades ago were actually equipped with high-sensitivity function, but as long as high-sensitivity shooting is used, the image quality will be obviously deteriorated, and people simply don't want to use it to shoot scenery. Nowadays, the performance of high-sensitivity image quality has been greatly improved, and finally the dream of shooting scenery with high sensitivity has been realized.

2. When traveling abroad, will you encounter a scene where you have to give up shooting because of dim light?

Almost all overseas travel themes are centered on Europe, so planes, trains and passenger ships are often used when moving. Especially on passenger ships, every morning or evening, we often encounter various beautiful scenery. Although large passenger ships will not have too severe shaking problems, after all, they are floating on the sea and cannot completely avoid vibration. If you don't use the high-sensitivity function, you can use a tripod with a slow shutter to shoot, but the tripod itself is also set up on the swaying deck, and its function is very limited.

In addition, most tourist attractions have regulations prohibiting the use of tripods, and the most representative place is the station. In fact, there were no such strict regulations before, but in recent years, due to frequent terrorist attacks in various places, as long as a tripod is set up, the local police will soon pay attention. If you just take a few photos as a souvenir, you may not get much attention. However, if you take the station as the photography theme and slowly shoot all kinds of works, it may not only hinder other passengers, but also cause resentment. Perhaps this is also a concept derived from the prevention of terrorist activities.

3. How to distinguish low sensitivity (general sensitivity) from high sensitivity?

Although the problem of image quality is greatly reduced compared with the past, with the increase of sensitivity, the trend of noise increase and color saturation deterioration remains unchanged, so it is necessary to avoid excessive increase of sensitivity. As long as it is set to ISO6400, if it is raised above ISO 10000, the noise will become more conspicuous and the overall picture quality will be rough. If you want to avoid hand shake, you must first deal with the anti-shake function carried by the camera or lens itself. When the hand anti-shake function still can't effectively eliminate the vibration blur problem, we should start with increasing the sensitivity.

If you need to shoot a dynamic subject, or the object on which the photographer rides vibrates, you can only shoot a still and clear image with high sensitivity and high speed shutter. In terms of setting skills, if the situation permits, it is recommended to set the sensitivity to a value just enough to make the image still with Shoot.

In addition, when taking landscape photos, the main premise is to avoid the vibration and blur of the image caused by low sensitivity, and then adjust it to the most suitable setting according to the needs of the scene, and make judgments according to personal preferences and experience.

4. What is the sensitivity setting suitable for overseas travel photography?

Generally speaking, it is very convenient to use the automatic ISO function. Going from a bright place to a dark place often increases the sensitivity, but returning to the bright place and forgetting to adjust the sensitivity back leads to the failure of shooting. I believe everyone should have had such an embarrassing experience. Depending on the automatic ISO mode, such failures can be effectively avoided.

When automatic ISO automatic mode is turned on, you can set the upper limit of ISO sensitivity by yourself. When arranging this setting, the anti-vibration function must be considered. Generally speaking, the anti-vibration function can be 3? The effect of 4-level shutter speed, such as the scene that has to be upgraded to ISO6400 in order to avoid the hand shake problem, can take a clear image only by using ISO 1600 with the hand shake function.

Once the subject is in motion or shooting while walking, the effect of anti-shake hand function will be greatly reduced, so it must rely on high sensitivity enhancement. In addition, the automatic ISO mode can also set the lowest numerical limit to avoid the shutter speed being too slow and blurring the subject vibration.

5. When traveling overseas, what is the best stage of high sensitivity?

When visiting art galleries in Europe, as long as many places do not use flash lights, visitors will not be prohibited from taking pictures of the items on display. The reason why the flash can't be used is that the flash may fade pictures and other works of art, and also to avoid disturbing other visitors. In addition, tripods can't be brought into the art gallery, which may accidentally hurt the exhibits, and it is also an obstacle when there are many people. If you have a tripod, remember to put it in the locker in advance.

After listening to the relevant regulations above, photographers with a little common sense certainly know that this is a good opportunity for high-sensitivity functions to show their talents. If you want to have images of these works of art, you only need to buy postcards or picture books from the store in the exhibition hall before you leave. Scenery, art exhibition scenes, etc. that can only be photographed in this art museum. , are all pictures I want to capture. Sometimes they bring tourists into the camera together, and sometimes they take pictures of themselves in the background of various exhibits.

6. What's the secret of using wide-angle and telescope?

Wide-angle lens can make the problem of hand jitter less obvious, and it does not need a very high shutter speed when used. If the camera or lens itself is equipped with anti-vibration function, is it about ISO800? Most scenes can be shot between 65438 and 0600. But the telescope head is not like this. In order to avoid hand shaking, it is generally said that the shutter speed should be set above the focal length of one second. Therefore, when the focal length is 300mm, it needs to be set above 1/ 300 seconds. If the camera at hand is APS-C, the focal length of 300mm will be equivalent to 450mm, so the shutter speed must be set to a value exceeding 1/450 seconds. Of course, the sensitivity must also be improved. If the scene is dark, it should be adjusted to ISO6400 immediately.

For the telescope head, monopod is a practical choice, and it is quite suitable for travel except for unlimited space. Some tripods can be used as monopods after being removed. However, it is often seen that many people put up a tripod to hold a straight shot, which is a wrong usage. You should make a tripod with your feet to achieve a stable effect.

7. The larger the size of overseas travel photography and sensitivity image sensor, the more noise can be suppressed.

Traveling overseas, of course, I hope to bring less equipment and make my luggage lighter. In the previous negative camera era, the equipment was huge and bulky, so after entering the digital age, I have been expecting this aspect to become easier. However, in fact, there are many devices used with digital cameras, such as spare batteries, chargers, laptops and external hard disks. In the end, it seems that the burden will become even greater.

Physical strength and financial resources are always inversely proportional. When I was young, although I was full of physical strength, it was not a problem to carry all kinds of heavy equipment, but it was difficult to buy expensive equipment because of lack of financial resources. With the growth of age, after the purse is gradually full, all kinds of high-priced and sophisticated equipment can indeed become their right-hand man, but their physical strength has become difficult to bear such a heavy partner. Life is always spent in imperfection, as if it really is.

Today's photography has become a popular interest across ages and genders, which can be seen from the popularity of compact and lightweight miniature digital monocular cameras. Having said that, if you want the follow-up to be a successful work, not just a personal travel record, you can't choose a miniature digital monocular camera and a small image sensor in the choice of shooting equipment. The most formal equipment, of course, is the 35mm Quan Huafu digital monocular camera. If you think this fuselage is too heavy, you should at least take an APS-C digital monocular camera. Considering physical problems, you can choose a lighter style on the lens instead of starting with the camera. With the improvement of high-sensitivity performance, there is indeed more room for equipment selection.

In the past, when high-sensitivity shooting could not be used, in order to match the large aperture lens, the telescope head adopted the style of 70-200mm F2.8. Regardless of efficiency, the single weight is as high as 1500g, but if a lens of 70-200mmF4 can be accepted, the weight will be reduced to about 850g. In addition, a high-power zoom lens is also a good choice for light luggage. Three of the sample photos released this time were taken with a lens of 16-300mm. In general, this lens alone can cope with most of the shooting scenes in the tour. Furthermore, when choosing a lightweight lens, the tripod only needs to be matched with a lightweight style. Although the price is expensive, I suggest you buy carbon fiber products, which are more practical.

In fact, the improvement of high-sensitivity practicality of digital cameras has only gradually matured in recent years. Ten years ago, the image quality was just improved to ISO800, which made people collapse. Nowadays, under the setting of ISO3200, the image is still beautiful, even if it reaches ISO6400, it is still within the acceptable range.

However, even if the high-sensitivity performance is excellent, you must pay attention to the fact that the noise problem will still increase with the increase of sensitivity, and the possibility of coarse particles in the image has not been exempted because of the evolution of high-sensitivity performance. In addition, although the color tone of the image has been greatly improved, if the sensitivity setting is too high, the image saturation will decrease and the color tone will be turbid.

The above problems are also closely related to the size of the image sensor. The larger the size of the image sensor, the better the image quality can be suppressed, so it is best to choose a digital monocular camera with a large image sensor. I'm going to Europe soon. It's rare to go there, but I don't want to spend more time preparing all the equipment. I really can't say that I am a competent travel photographer.
