​Use the camera to record moving pictures

A walk can be a backpacking hike or a stroll through a neighborhood alley. If you plan to go on a tour, it is recommended that you first understand relevant information, canvas prints use your free time to read maps, travel books or collect information on the Internet, understand the local cultural and natural characteristics, and first anticipate the main axis of the shooting, the route and the shooting time. At that time in the mind spectrum, even in the random walk, can also quickly find the focus of the shooting, so as not to aimlessly, resulting in unlimited expansion of the journey. When planning ahead, in addition to booking a major route, you can also consider a number of records. Even in the alley around your home, you can first learn the relevant location, route and set the shooting focus, and then flexibly adjust according to emergencies (such as discovering unknown alleys, novel personnel, etc.) when walking, to increase the fun of shooting. Many photographers have done their homework before the so-called street "follow the camera", and they have anticipated the main axis of the shooting, so they can capture more satisfactory pictures, and avoid the embarrassing situation that they do not know what to shoot or how to shoot until the end of the "whim".

If the camera control is not familiar with, cheap canvas prints you can use automatic or scene mode shooting, after a little understanding, you can try advanced shooting. In my personal habit, I often used the aperture priority (A) mode when shooting in the outdoor environment. When using a camera with customizable shooting mode, it is recommended to first set a set of shooting values to capture instant pictures (such as adjusting the shutter speed in S mode, and matching the automatic sensitivity), in preparation for snapping the precious lens suddenly appeared.

If the photography process requires frequent access to indoor and outdoor, or in the scene with large changes in light and shade, under the premise of no additional supplementary light, it is recommended to directly set as automatic ISO, split canvas prints let the camera automatically determine the appropriate sensitivity. As for the problem of image quality degradation caused by automatic sensitivity to ISO, users can first set the highest value of automatic sensitivity to avoid "breaking the table"; In mode A, the camera will calculate the appropriate ISO value using the safe shutter of the current focal section, which can also be preset in the "slowest shutter speed".

Photography tips: SLR and walking photography

Strolling in distinctive spots such as the monkey adit, the subject matter is usually very clear, usually can be shot in mode A, and preset a set of snapshot pictures of the mode, in order to capture unpredictable cat dynamics. With automatic sensitivity, the camera will automatically improve the ISO when entering a dark room, even if the lens aperture is not large enough to take a clear picture.

As it is a light request, it is recommended to carry 1 ~ 2 lenses. If you only want to take one machine and one lens, you can choose between a high magnification zoom travel lens and a large aperture standard prime lens. When using travel mirrors, due to the maximum aperture is small, it is recommended to moderately increase the sensitivity to obtain sufficient shutter speed; By switching to the far end of the compression screen to create a shallow depth of field effect, it can also make up for the lack of a large aperture. If you choose a standard prime lens, although it is not convenient to quickly switch the focus section, but you can get a large aperture brought by the soft beauty of scattered scenery and better picture quality than a zoom lens. In addition, the standard prime lens focus section is fixed, so you need to move to frame, more can train their composition skills.

The biggest advantage of traveling with a high zoom lens is that you can handle most subjects with one lens, especially the wide Angle view that is difficult to get with a standard prime lens.

Handy camera comes with features

Take Nikon camera as an example. In order to balance the contrast, traditional photography often USES the method of shaking a black card to deal with large light difference in photography. However, walking photography requires mobility, and the variety of different scenes is high, it is unlikely that there is sometimes an appropriate horizontal line to apply the black card. In this case, HDR or d-lighting in the camera can come in handy; However, not all models of HDR are built in, and the processing time of the camera is relatively long. In addition, for the sake of portability, the tripod is usually not carried, which requires a relatively high degree of handheld stability. Therefore, d-lighting is the most convenient tool for walking photography. Nikon's d-lighting can directly raise the brightness of the dark part and improve the details during shooting, without waiting for the image processing to affect the shooting pace, and there are a variety of levels to choose from, the overall effect is also more natural than HDR. D-lighting can also be divided into active and passive. If you want to adjust yourself after shooting, it is recommended to shoot RAW file. You can directly set the passive d-lighting in the body, or transfer it to the computer using View NX2 software for processing, which is very convenient.

Try different angles and incorporate various elements

The use of simplified equipment and shooting mode, in order to be able to pay the most attention to wandering and observing the surrounding, in the process of moving, keep sharp observation and mobility, looking for pictures worth capturing. In addition to the preset shooting theme before departure, of course, there is also a need for temporary discovery of new ideas, everyone wants to record the object is not the same, but the focus is that can be taken by the photos, to convey local customs, travel and photographer's mood. Shooting, in addition to the need for basic, stable composition, you can also try more different cut angles; Such as squatting, overlooking, tilt, into the front and rear, acrylic mounting online and so on, can enrich the picture, let the photo is not only the record, but also the photographer's creative hair.
