2. Shooting with natural light during the day

Only natural light during the day helps you feel all the colors of the flowers in the spring garden, the color of the new photos is fresh, vibrant, and the true color of nature. So take it when it's still bright and remember to take it outside. The time between 7 am and 10 am is ideal, the sun shining is very beautiful, the weather is still cool, when people are photographed naturally, fresh and comfortable. Over this time, the weather will be very hot with intense sunshine, very bright sunshine and shining from the top of the head often cause shadow to cover the face, the color of the photo is not beautiful because of the high contrast. not to mention the photographed person will be emaciated, grimace, eyes narrowed because of the glare.

3. Avoid 'obsessive' images

The light always changes with the time of day, not only changing the direction but also changing the color. Sunlight is white in the morning, gradually turning to color when in the afternoon, eventually turning to orange at sunset. If taking photos in the afternoon onwards, photos will be haunted by the sun's light.

In addition, when taking portraits or selling themselves in the sun, if the photographed person holds a sun umbrella or wears a colorful and dazzling shirt, or when they bend their faces close to the flowers, the color of the The umbrella, the shirt, the flowers will also make their faces 'obsessed' (the color is misleading: redder, more yellow by the color of the umbrella, the shirt, the flowers). To avoid this, press the shutter when it is sunny, moderate intensity (cloud cover) or better for the subject to stand in the shade.

4. Notice the background

Many people look at the viewfinder to get a composition, they only pay attention to the subject being taken but don't watch the background behind the subject. When reviewing the photo, discovering 'trivial' errors is difficult to accept behind the subject. For example, street vendors, public trash cans, 'ban on picking flowers' ('ban on grass'; 'WC'), plastic bags, confectionery packages that other people throw at the bottom. land or park benches where people are sitting in a 'not so beautiful' posture .

5. Don't let the main character get too small

When taking souvenir photos taking both people and scenes, surely you will encounter situations of photos that get all the surrounding scenery like ancient apricot trees, Notre Dame Cathedral, Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, City People's Square, buildings on the street . but the main character in the image is tiny. How to still take the "full viewfinder" who was taken and the scenery around? Solving this problem is very simple. First, move and watch the machine to get the full view. Then, instead of arranging the person who was taken right under the monument, the architecture (as a common practice in many people) tells them to move toward the camera, until you see their image in the frame. Watching 'big enough' stops and poses. At this point, you just click capture. Make sure your photo will get the image you want.

6. Use macro mode to specify the flowers

If you want to get impressive photos of the flowers as often seen on postcards, you must use the camera mode to macro mode. To do so, look for the macro icon on the function buttons or from the camera menu menu (the icon of a flower with 3 wings) to activate it (On). Insert the lens to kill the flower at the allowable distance (specified in the document that came with the camera), watch it carefully (because in macro mode, the clear space before and after the subject is very narrow) , take the composition, hold the device tight and press the shutter.

7. Vertical or horizontal alignment?

1. Vertical alignment: For a vertical frame image, when shooting, the camera must be rotated vertically, usually when shooting high objects, such as monuments, towers, tall buildings or a single person. The advantage of taking vertical shots is to help the image have a deeper and more rigid composition.
2. Horizontal: This method is often applied when taking a panorama, wide landscape or capturing a group of people. To take a picture with a horizontal viewfinder, simply rotate the camera horizontally when shooting. The advantage of horizontal shots is that it looks more realistic.

In general, this is just the usual shooting method, you can change as you like to create unique, creative photos. For example, take a person with a horizontal photo frame to get more shots, try shooting along subjects that were shot horizontally to get new discoveries.

8. Choose light source

1. Positive light source: A light that is directed at the face of the person being photographed Photos taken with this light source often have beautiful colors, clear, sharp. If the light source is strong, the sun will cause the person to be photographed with the eyes, you should choose a different light source or other shooting time.
2. Patent source: Light only hits one side of the subject (left or right). The advantage of this light source is to help the image have a deeper depth, to clarify the details to emphasize, due to the light contrast on the image. The downside is that there may be a lack of light and the need for a photographer to have a lot of experience to be able to watch a beautiful photo.
3. Reverse light source: Light shines directly into the lens, and comes from behind the person being photographed. This light source is often chosen to take portraits due to the creation of a bright border around the subject, the face has a natural appearance because it is not affected by light. Used to capture flowers with fragile beauty is also very suitable. The disadvantage of this light source is that the subject will be darkened, it needs to be brightened or shed light from the lens. Often only people with long-standing experience can handle images under this light source.

9. Take as many photos as possible

Take lots of photos with the same object, scene, angle will help you have a chance to choose the best photo. To do this, before going to shoot, you should handle the memory card in advance. Save the necessary data to your computer's hard drive or delete unnecessary photos for more storage space for new photos.

Hopefully with these notes, you will get many beautiful photos to show off to everyone on Tet holiday!
