Yesterday, the student li followed me all day, groaning at night, "why do you use the same phone, do you have a taste of sunrise, street, night scenes, and i'm either in touch or not?" twenty yearsPhotographyI know best: the key to mobile photography is to follow the light, not at the same timeSkillsThat's how big it is. Bresson said, "radio is instant and eternal."ShadowIn the change, there's all the secret to taking a good picture。
6 a. M. Sunrise: five minutes for gold
The sun rises at the top of the mountain in the morning, and li presses the door directly to the sun, and either the sun is white or the sky is clouded. In fact, the core of the day rise is the "earnings + lock focus" and the golden time is only five minutes before and after the sun rise。
Operating step (first-hand copy) waits for the sun to show its head: don't rush, until the sun emerges at one third of the horizon, when light is soft and impervious, and the sky has a gradual orange red lock on the clouds: long press the cloud on the screen of a mobile phone, with a "focus lock" hint, and don't lock it on the sun, or it'll be dim: lock on the focus, the finger drops on the screen until the sky becomes clear, and the landscape on the ground can see the outline case + liu's sole experience
In my way, li is locked in the middle of the sun, darkened in half, taking photos of the rising sun, the sky is gradually turning orange pink, and the trees on the ground are clearly contours and are no longer white。
I've taken hundreds of sunrises to sum up the trick: the gradual blues of the sky before sunrise, and the light on the leaves after sunrise, the two most visible moments of light。

This method is used not only for the sunrise, but also for the morning lake and the morning fog. In the morning fog, the tree is locked in the fog, dim in half, and the fog's layers are immediately visible。
10 a. M. Street man: scratch a moment and smoke
In the morning, li was taken to the old alley to do a human essay and he was chasing his mother, either to make a scratch or not to catch the natural expression. The heart of street photography is "prejudgment + series" , which does not have to be followed。
Operating step (first-hand copy) to select the two scenes: looking for old alleys, vegetable markets, breakfast stands, where there's life and there's easy access to a camera mode: long cell phone buttons, go into a camera mode, meet a master when he plays chess, and a mother buys food, and then go straight to the fast threeStructure: open the cell phone grid, put the person's eyes on the grid intersection, like the guy who had breakfast, put his face on the right, more balanced case + liu's exclusive experience
Li opened the breakfast stand and caught the moment the vendor delivered the bag, the smile was natural, the heat on the bag was visible, and the circle of friends received 200+。
I filmed the street's sole trick: don't get too close! It's three to five meters away from the person, with a double focal point on the cell phone, the person's not nervous and the expression is more natural。

It's not just on the streets, but on campuses and parks. When you shoot a kite, you fly a kite with a camera, with a high success rate。
2 p. M. House stills: dispersing light, high level sense
After noon, when the sun was the strongest, li took fruit at home, and the picture was hard and the colour of the fruit was gray. In fact, the midday stills, the core of which is "dive for the strong light + scattering light", are the best light source by the window。
Operating step (first copy) to find the right position: place the still by the window, pull up a thin curtain, turn the sun into a soft dispersing light, and avoid the light-shattering pure background: use the white sheets, black tablecloths in the house as a background, avoid grafts of the tablecloth, avoid distracting the white image: don't fill the stills with images, leave a third of the blanks, such as apples, apples in two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is background, high-level sense of the case + old liu's sole experience
Li followed my approach, using white sheets as a background, with bright orange colours, the texture of the skin clearly visible and no longer as grey。
My little trick of stilling: when taking fruit with beads, spraying water on the surface, with light on the side, the beads reflect like diamonds and double the quality。

It's not just a fruit shoot, it's a book, jewelry, coffee cup. When you're making coffee cups, you use the sidelight to pull the bubble, and the details are clearer。
At 6 p. M., the evening sun was cut: a contours of the reverse light, a picture of the beauty
In the evening of the evening, a photo taken by xiao li was taken either in the sky or with a black face. In fact, the core of the late-summer clipping is "reverse light + lock focal brightness," and the ancient poem says, "the sunset is perfect, it's just near dusk," which is the most fragrance of the light。
Operating steps (first-hand copy) turn the person back to the sun: let the model stand on the side of the river with a back-to-back to the sunset, and the sun shines from behind, forming a beautiful contour lock in the sky: long-snap on the screen, locking on the contour, then turning the person into a black cutting line, making the person's body and the pole on the river side, forming a line such as hand-lifting the person's hair, the contour will be more vivid than the old liu's experience
Li's done my work, the profile of the character is clear, and the evening tact behind her is a gradual pink, and friends after her hair circle ask if it's a one-sided reflection。
I'm the only one who shoots the evenings: when the sun falls below the horizon, the sky will have a fire cloud, and it's time to take a clip, the brightest color and the best sense。

It's not just a riverside evening, but a desert, a hilltop sunset. When the desert sun sets, the camels turn their backs to the sun, and the clipping will be more indifferent。
8 p. M. City night view: steady cell phone + locked, shot sensor
At night, li took the city night view, and he took either a piece of picture, or the lights turned to light. In fact, the heart of the night scene is "stable cell phone + lock focus" and it's clear without a tripod。
Operational steps (first-hand-to-first-to-first-to-hand) to find a support point: stick your mobile phone to the rail, street lights, or hold your hands to the chest, so as to avoid hand-shakes and locks on the light: press the street light or neon light on the screen, lock the focus, and then slide half-heavy, so that the lights are clearly visible to the whole city: do not film the whole city, take local street lights, window windows, traffic, such as the light of traffic, turn on the connection, and the mobile phone moves slowly so that the light belt can be taken + liu's experience
Little li leaned his cell phone on the river rail, took a picture of the night scene, the light was clear, and the reflection of the river was no longer a piece。
My little trick in the night scene: when i shoot the traffic, the light-fast-door mode of a mobile phone is more fluid with apples。

It's not just a city night view, it's a night market, a town lantern. When shooting the ancient town lanterns, the locks were on the lanterns, which were lit halfly, and the texture of the lanterns would be clearer。
Different cell phone set-up small skills: one minute to get out of optimal state
Without complex professional parameters, each cell phone can be photographed all day with two switches。
Apple users: open settings -- cameras -- open grid lines and close "auto nightscape model"; shoots with a long focus on the main subject, with a down-sliding brightness as / glory user: open the camera - more - select the mode (selection of the sun, selection of people on the street defunct) and open the grid lines; turn the focus on to ±0. 3 millimetres/red rice users: turn on the camera - settings - turn on the grid and "capture snaps"; use the "night view mode" to stabilize the oppo/vivo user: turn on the camera - mode - choose "super-clear" and open the grid lines; turn on "ai-enhanced" after lock-in, more colourful end-of-pit avoidance alert: 3 details, determine the quality of the phone lens taken all day! From morning to night, it's easy to get prints, dust, and wipe it with the horn before it's taken, or it'll blur and follow the light! In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, in the evening, not in front of the light. In the later period, we just need a little brightness, a little saturation
Li followed me all day and looked at his album at night and laughed, "it was not pixels, it was skill!"
After 20 years of photography, i understand that the charm of photography is to record time, and every moment from the dawn to the night sky is worth being set. As the ancient poem says, "one inch of light and one inch of gold," good pictures are the most precious gifts of time。
