Nikon photography had many tips and tricks, and the following were some of them: ** I. Pre-shooting preparations ** 1. ** Screen check ** - ** Shock Absorption Switch (VR)**: If you use a tripod to shoot, turn off the lens shock absorption; if you hold the camera, turn on the lens shock absorption. - ** Focus mode picker (A/M)**: Choose A, which is the autofocus mode. 2. ** Focus check ** - ** Focus mode picker (AF-M)** on the camera body: Choose to focus in AF. - ** Automatic focus mode (AF-S, AF-C, AF-A)**: If you want to shoot a still object, such as a flower, you can choose Single Servo-Automatic Focus (AF-S). - ** Automatic focus area setting **: You can choose a single-point AF-area according to your needs. 3. ** Picture format check ** - Daily shooting can be done in the JPEG format. - If you need a more detailed picture quality, in order to have more room for post-production adjustments, you should use the RAW format. 4. ** Metering mode check ** - Nikon offers four types of measuring modes: Matrix Metering, Center Illumination, Illuminated Illumination, and Spot Metering. For example, if you want to take care of the whole flower, you can choose matrix dimming. 5. ** Exposure-compensation check ** - Under normal circumstances, the exposure compensation was set to 0EV because the exposure compensation would affect the exposure parameters. ** 2. Techniques for different shooting scenes ** 1. ** Shooting the moon ** - He set the shutter to 1/500, the aperture to F5, and the measurement to 100. He could use the screen to take a real-time view. He could zoom in to see if the moon was in focus and press the shutter. He could cut it later. 2. ** Controlling depth of field ** - ** Large depth of field **: When you want to clearly display the details of the subject and background, such as group photos, meetings, events, landscape photography, etc., you can clearly display the subjects at different distances and provide more visual information to the audience. - ** Small depth of field **: Only show a part of the picture clearly, making the rest soft and blurred. It is often used to shoot portraits, which can better highlight the main subject and hint at the emotional state of the character. - ** Soft Focus **: No part of the picture is 100% clear. You can use lens filter and other methods (in some cases, add stockings to pull the lens). It is often used to shoot beautiful women. It can enhance the beauty and reflect the dreamy atmosphere. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

There were the following precautions for child photography: - Equipment selection: If the child is learning photography, a cheaper model of a DSLR or a mirrorless camera will do. For example, Nikon's D7500 kit (brand new about 6800 yuan), D7200 (second-hand cheaper), D5XXX series; Canon's 200D II and 850D (brand new sets are 5200 yuan and 6000 yuan respectively), 800D (second-hand big sets are more cost-effective, more than 3000 yuan), and the non-reflex camera can choose the Eos M50 Mark II (second-hand can directly choose the Eos M50). For the lens, they could choose a large helmet +50mm head and a tripod that cost more than 100 yuan. - ** Filming preparation **: - ** Costume props preparation **: If it is not a photo shoot, the child's clothes should be nice and comfortable, and avoid all black clothes. You can prepare toys, bubble machines, fishing nets, fruits, and other props that the child is interested in. Simple accessories such as small bags, straw hats, and small yellow ducks can also make the picture richer. - ** Scene Selection **: If it's not a daily photo shoot, you need to find a suitable place to take photos, such as a beautiful lake (with large lawns, forests, lakes, etc.) suitable for taking fresh photos in summer. - ** Filming process **: - ** Picture composition **: Try to keep the picture simple and use low angles to shoot. For example, squat down and use the sky, grass, and other background to avoid messy elements. - ** Shooting method **: The child is active, so you can use more methods to capture the child. The mobile phone can press the shutter button for a long time to take photos. It will make the story more interesting when the child runs, jumps, plays, and eats. If the child is not good at taking photos, you can hold the child to play games or take photos when walking hand in hand. - ** Light Selection **: For portrait photography, avoid shooting at noon. For outdoor photography, try to shoot after sunrise in the morning and 1 - 2 hours before sunset in the afternoon. If it is unavoidable, you can shoot under the shade of trees or under the cover of buildings. Forward/side lighting was suitable for portrait shooting, and the backlighting effect was also good when shooting with the camera, but the backlighting of mobile phones should be avoided as much as possible. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Here are some tips for summer photography: 1. ** Screen Element Selection ** - ** Choose a reasonable ground element **: If the ground is beautiful, such as the ground has many small flowers or beautiful light and shadow details, the ground can be included in the picture; if the ground is not beautiful, it can not be included. If the ground was beautiful and the sky was white or pure blue without clouds, it could be incorporated into the ground as appropriate. - ** Create the focal point of the picture **: When shooting summer scenes such as the seaside, choose the visual excitement point to avoid monotonous scenes. Small boats, pontoons, rocks, flying seabirds, people on the beach, etc. could all become the focus of the picture. People and objects could be used as multi-functional subjects. They could be the focus, but they could also complement the scenery and add to the story. - ** Use contrast elements **: When shooting scenery, contrast is an important element. Using contrast properly can improve the image effect. 2. ** In terms of shooting angle ** - [Take photos with the flow]: Learn to use the slope or inconspicuous lines in the picture, such as shooting forward along the strips of clouds in the sky or shooting forward along the slope to make the photo more imposing and three-dimensional. - ** Squat Shot **: When you pick up the camera, don't always stand and shoot. Squat Shot can bring the flowers in the front and make them blurred, increasing the level of the photo. - ** Upward Shot **: You can also take a photo when squatting down. For example, if you take a photo between the branches, the trees will shoot up into the sky, increasing the impact of the photo, and changing the conventional angle of view to make the picture more unique. - ** Adjusting shooting angle **: When shooting at the beach, you can use different angles such as head-up, low angle + background frame, or overlooking. The head-up angle was suitable for expressing a friendly and natural scene; the low angle + frame background could highlight the main character; the bird's eye view could make use of the gentle extension of the coastline to make the scene more profound. 3. ** In terms of shooting time ** - ** Adjusting the shooting time **: Shooting in the evening. There may be clouds in the sky at this time. The light is soft and will dye the clouds with color, making the picture beautiful but not too much. The morning was also a good time to take photos. For example, a foggy morning could be used to take photos with better silhouettes. - ** Grasp the special time period **: The morning and evening are suitable for shooting the clouds. The same scene will show different colors at different times. 4. ** Picture composition ** - [Master the proportion of heaven and earth]: Arrange the proportion of heaven and earth in the picture reasonably to make the picture harmonious. - ** Newbie composition skills **: According to different shooting scenes, master the composition method suitable for beginners. For example, when shooting the lotus pond, you can make the subject far away from you, raise the camera to enlarge the picture, leave a large area of white space, and form a diagonal line between the character and the scene. 5. ** In terms of shooting techniques ** - ** Slow door shooting **: Using slow door shooting can produce unexpected effects. For example, when shooting the sea, adjust the shutter speed according to the light and water flow speed (usually 0.5 - 2 seconds or longer), you can shoot a silk-like sea texture. It is best to use a tripod or a stabiliser to maintain the image stability during long exposure. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Firstly, lighting is crucial. In black - and - white photography, contrast is key. Use side lighting or backlighting to create interesting shadows and highlights. This can bring out the textures in your subject.

At present, it was known that Qinnan Town had held a series of activities called "Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day" in Jingkou Marsh Scenery Garden with fishing and photography enthusiasts, but it was not indicated that it was a fishing photography competition. Some photography works were produced at the scene of some fishing competitions, such as the photography works of the fishing competition site of the Elderly Sports Association in the Second Sports Video Competition of Shandong Province. The 4th China Chongqing Fishing City National Photographic Competition, sponsored by the Hechuan District Committee of Chongqing City, the People's Government of Hechuan District of Chongqing City and China Photographic News, is a sub-project of the 2022 Fishing City Travel and Culture Festival. It lasts from October 2022 to September 2023.

However, he did not find any complete information about the exact name of the competition, which was specifically called the "Fishing photography competition." <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

For newcomers to participate in photography competitions, they could consider the following aspects: ** 1. Evaluation of Competing Ability ** 1. ** Shooting Techniques ** - The photography competition mainly assessed the ability to shoot. Newbies needed to have certain shooting skills, such as mastering exposure knowledge. The strength of the light would greatly affect the performance of the photo. You couldn't just rely on the automatic exposure of the phone. You had to learn to use the exposure adjustment function on the screen. Otherwise, there might be problems such as a big black face, a big hole in the sun, or a flower color overflow. - The composition ability was also very important. You couldn't shoot immediately when you saw the beautiful scenery. You had to think about whether there was a better angle and better scenery. For example, when shooting rainbows, the addition of landscape would make the photo more unique, instead of just shooting at the sky. 2. ** Shooting Style ** - Newbies had to evaluate whether they had formed a unique shooting style. Knowing what type of photography you are good at, such as people, landscape, or animal photography, will help you determine whether you meet the requirements when choosing a competition. ** 2. Competition Requirements ** 1. ** Themed Requirement ** - Different competitions had different selection criteria and theme requirements. Some competitions had specific topics, while others had subcategories. For example, the iPhone Photography awards did not have a theme each year, but gave more than ten subcategories such as animals, children, landscapes, and people. The Mobile Photography awards had 18 categories, including architecture, landscape, silhouette, street photography, and so on. If the theme of the competition did not match his shooting style or content, it might affect his confidence and preparation for the competition. - He also had to pay attention to whether there was a limit on the number of works. 2. ** Nature of the work ** - For example, in news and documentary photography competitions, the post-production standard was that the objective reality could not be changed. For example, adding clouds and copying horses were not allowed. However, general photography competitions allowed different levels of post-production. For example, mobile Photography awards allowed the use of mobile applications for post-production editing. It was also allowed to add elements such as mosaic, mobile painting, digital art, and so on. ** 3. Purpose of Competition ** 1. ** Challenge yourself ** - For beginners, participating in photography competitions was a way to challenge themselves. They could encourage themselves to try new photography techniques, styles, and subjects, thereby improving their photography skills. 2. ** Communication and learning ** - The participants could learn about the works and styles of other photographers and gain experience in the field of photography. Through observing outstanding works, one could learn other people's composition, lighting, post-processing techniques, and so on. 3. ** Promotion of himself and his works ** - If one wanted to gain more attention in the field of photography, participating in competitions was one way, but newcomers might need to gradually accumulate experience and the quality of their work. ** 4. Competition Selection and Identification ** 1. ** The value of the competition ** - ** Charging and free **: Charging photography competitions may not be good competitions, but they may be more valuable. For example, the iPhone photography competition charged 5.50 dollars per photo. The more photos submitted, the higher the fee. The judges were of a higher level, the competition process was formal, the awards were highly recognized, and the prizes were relatively generous. However, there were also unscrupulous commercial competitions that used the name of charging fees to engage in "black box operations" and spend money to buy "certificates." Free competitions were not necessarily without value. For example, the WPG (World Press Photographer Competition) was the most influential in the international press photography industry. It was open to photographers in the field of news photography and documentary photography for free. - [Competition Level: Generally speaking, international competitions are more important than national competitions.] However, local competitions had fewer participants and were less competitive, so it might be easier to get a ranking. 2. ** Regular Judgment ** - Whether the competition was official or not could be judged by the popularity of the competition, the number of years it had been held, the qualifications of the organizers, and the judges. It was best to participate in some new and unknown "wild competitions" with caution. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
