The following is a photography guide for the ancient town: * * 1. Pre-shooting preparation ** 1. * * Confirm theme and elements of the era ** - The ancient town had a strong historical atmosphere, and the photography theme could be determined according to its historical characteristics. For example, China had a long history, so one could choose a dignified and elegant Tang costume portrait (suitable for shooting in places with Tang culture such as Tang Furong Garden), a delicate and moving Han costume portrait, or a cheongsam portrait with the style of the Republic of China, a red-themed military portrait, and other different eras. Different topics required different props and environments. 2. * * Understand the old town ** - Before filming, one had to first understand the history and culture of the ancient town and know its uniqueness, such as the elegance of Hui style houses, the tranquility of Jiangnan water towns, or the disorder of Miao ancient towns. This way, he could be more clear about the content he wanted to shoot and find a unique style to use photography techniques to express it. 3. * * Research excellent works ** - For unfamiliar ancient town attractions, first search for excellent photos on the Internet to determine the shooting elements, composition, color tone, etc. You can even imitate the shooting position and composition of excellent people. * * 2. Techniques in Shooting ** 1. * * Choose shooting environment and props ** - There were many old towns and ancient streets in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. The style of the Republic of China was suitable for shooting red-themed military portraits and cheongsam portraits; the well-preserved scenic spots and historic sites were suitable for shooting Tang costumes or Han costumes. They could also use the antique buildings in the film and television bases and retro venues. According to the theme of the shoot, the model could be matched with clothes and props. For example, when shooting the portrait of the cheongsam of the Republic of China, the model could hold an oil-paper umbrella and a small suitcase; when shooting the Tang suit or Han suit, the model could wear a step shake on the head, hold a round fan or silk handkerchief, etc. 2. * * Composing Skills ** - * * Using the elements of the ancient town to compose a picture ** - Look for the iconic elements of the ancient town, such as bridges, archways, etc. When shooting a bridge, you can use the background composition (with trees lining the bridge), perspective composition (decorated with boats), frame composition (reflecting the ancient city), etc. When shooting an arch, you can enlarge the picture and use the arch to form a frame composition to create a sense of artistic conception. - There were also many ways to compose a character in the picture. For example, standing in the middle of the ancient alley, zooming in the picture by 2 times, moving up the camera angle to form a guide line, and taking a picture of the character walking in the middle; Squatting down and zooming in the picture by 2 times, making the eaves form a guide line to make the picture feel extended; Moving the subject to the side to enlarge the picture by 2 times, the character and the ancient town each occupied half of the picture; Moving the character away from the camera, using 3x focal length to move up the shooting angle, the character stood at the visual vanishing point of the picture; Move to the side to shoot, avoid unnecessary people, put the people in the golden ratio point and slightly enlarge the picture; Raise the shooting angle to avoid overlapping the people with the background, and the people in the next frame of the picture; Find a suitable object as the front, and use the portrait mode to blur the background. 3. * * Use of Light and Shadow ** - * * Light direction **: It is better to shoot ancient buildings with side light. That is, the direction of light is at a certain angle with the camera's framing direction. It can make the contrast between the light and dark of the object obvious, and highlight the three-dimensional and texture. At the same time, it can slightly increase the K value to make the picture appear warm. - * * Use of light at different times **: The morning sun shines on the ancient town with a warm tone; the golden light under the setting sun shines on the water with a gentle feeling of the water town; at night, the low K value can be adjusted. With the white balance shift function, the cold and warm tones can be combined to express the tranquility and joy of the ancient town. 4. * * Capture the cultural elements ** - In ancient town photography, the living conditions of the local residents were also very good subjects to shoot. By integrating the characters with the environment of the ancient town, such as comparing the children playing with the old house, the old man washing clothes by the river, etc., it could give the ancient town more life and capture the soul of the ancient town. * * 3. Retouching after shooting ** 1. * * Color adjustment ** - Different shooting topics had different retouching styles. The style of the Republic of China was mostly nostalgic. The overall color tone was mainly retro, and the old photo effect or dark effect could be used to interpret the spy style of the Republic of China. The color tone of the photos with the theme of Tang suit and Han suit could be made bright and delicate. 2. * * Modifications to specific parameters ** - For example, filter-Midnight Paris, light sensitivity-10, color temperature +10, sharpening +10, shadow-5, saturation +5, hue-20, structure +20, fade +5, or filter-Leca II, light sensitivity-15, brightness +10, contrast-5, saturation +5, curve color: film, green: hue +60, saturation +50, lightness-40, yellow: Hue +50, Saturation-60, Brightness-50, Brilliance-15, Shadow +5, Color temperature +15, etc. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

If you want to find a photography guide in Yuanyang, here is some relevant information. They could join private custom-made tour groups. The driver of such tour groups would also serve as a tour guide. For example, Master Luo, who was chosen by tourists, had first-class driving skills and was very familiar with the scenic spots. He could arrange food and accommodation in an orderly manner. In terms of transportation, the local traffic in Yuanyang was not developed. If one chose to travel by car, it would be more convenient to shuttle between various scenic spots. The scenic spots of Yuanyang Terraced Fields had their own characteristics. For photographers, there were different shooting points at different times. For example, Duoyishu was a sunrise photography spot. The sunrise time in winter was around 7:30 a.m. There were more tourists here, so the earlier they went, the more seats they could take. Tiger Mouth was a sunset photography spot. The sunset time in winter was around 6:30 p.m., and they could take seats at 4:30 p.m. In terms of accommodation, Azheke was a good choice. It was close to the terraced fields and had a high terrain. It was a natural observation platform. The owners of the homestays or inns here may know the local situation better. You can ask them for local information related to photography, such as local weather changes and the best shooting spots for terraces in different seasons. If one stayed in the old county, the county government guest house would cost about 25 - 40 yuan per bed. There was also a "Third Uncle Inn". Although the owner generally did not receive outsiders (except friends), the rooms were clean and one could take a bath at any time for 30 yuan per bed. The large terrace on the second floor of the inn was the best place to take pictures of Yuanyang County, clouds, and terraced fields. At the same time, the innkeeper Third Uncle was a local expert, so he could ask him about terraced fields, ethnic groups, festivals, rushing to the streets, and other information. Different seasons to Yuanyang terraced fields photography also have their own advantages and disadvantages. The weather between February and March is more good, and the chances of seeing the sea of clouds are higher.

Although it is difficult to shoot colorful colors, the terraced fields in spring sowing and autumn harvesting seasons also have different scenery. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Here are some living room photography tips: 1. ** Using light ** - ** Living room with good lighting **: If the living room has good lighting, such as the living room facing west, it can make full use of natural light. For example, take photos during the day when there is sufficient light, and pay attention to the direction and intensity of the light to avoid too much direct light causing too much shadow. You can use the curtains to adjust the softness of the light. For example, if you choose white curtains, the breeze will not only increase the agility of the picture, but the soft light effect will also help to take better photos. - ** Living room with insufficient lighting **: If the lighting in the living room is not good, artificial lighting can be considered. For example, if there was a built-in lamp in the living room window, even if the light was not good on a cloudy day, there was no need to worry about the film effect. 2. ** Choose background and layout ** - ** Simple background **: Keep the background simple and clean to avoid too much debris from interfering with the screen. If a large area of gray was used as the background color during the renovation of the living room, with white and beige as the low-key color matching method, such a background could create an elegant and warm atmosphere when shooting, suitable for a variety of styles of photography. - ** Space layout utilization **: Use the living room space layout reasonably for composition. For example, after the wall between the living room and the bedroom was dug through to increase the depth, the entire space would be more spacious. The depth of the space could be used to take layered photos. The sofa, coffee table, and other furniture could be used as the picture elements. The characters could be arranged to sit, lie on the sofa, or move around the coffee table. 3. ** Confirm the shooting theme and pose ** - ** theme determination **: determine the theme according to the characteristics of the living room and the emotions you want to express. For example, if you want to express the warm atmosphere of the family, you can use the family life scene as the theme, such as the family playing together on the sofa in the living room, sitting together and hugging each other to show the bond of family love, etc. If the living room is used as a photography base, you can set a visual focus such as dynamic sculpture to highlight the theme. - [Postures Creation]: Borrowing some creative postures. For example, holding hands and running together to convey the feeling of running towards a better life together; or using a bird's eye view to shoot family members facing each other, this angle could make the picture interesting and cute; or using a photo frame to make the photo more interesting, such as using branches and leaves to connect to form a frame to construct an image. 4. ** Color Match **: Pay attention to the color match in the picture. If the living room itself had a good color combination, such as gray walls, white sofas, beige coffee tables, dark gray carpets, etc., it could coordinate with the color of the character's clothing to make the entire picture harmonious and unified, creating the desired atmosphere. 5. ** Choice of shooting time **: Golden time (evening) is one of the best times to shoot. The light is not strong and not hot. The image is golden and warm, giving the photo a special beauty. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
