When you walk towards the vast beach, you find the beach fishermen fishing scene, the face of such moments moment, another humanities photography blockbuster shooting a good opportunity today to take you a comprehensive understanding of humanities photography, include which some things need to know to know and be ready for it.

One: shooting equipment

1, compact equipment

In the choice of equipment, the first thing we recommend to you is the type of compact camera; the larger the relative size of the camera, not only the operation of the process of the action amplitude is too large, and the more likely to attract the attention of others, even if there is no malice, it will make the character's expression becomes unnatural and can not capture the best picture.

Small and portable cell phones, card cameras, single-cell cameras, and side cameras are very good shooting equipment. With the quality of cell phone photography is now getting better and better, whether the picture quality and color and then the APP of the later can reach our general friend's photography needs, at the same time, cell phones to shoot the finished photos to be able to sit in the car, post-repair, to pass the time and increase the fun.

In addition to using cell phones to take pictures, if you have certain requirements for image quality, you can use card cameras; compact cameras have an advantage when taking pictures is less likely to attract the attention of others, portability, card cameras can be easily stuffed into the pocket, when shooting some unexpected events, can give you the most rapid way to take pictures.

Although the card camera is portable, by always can not do the ultimate image quality and control, to portable and image quality some words, side axis cameras and mirrorless cameras can replace the lens to achieve a more excellent picture feeling, but taking into account the volume of the relationship, most of the shooting angle for the wide-angle or medium focal length, the best focal length between 28-40mm, in order to ensure that the volume in the best range. Like many humanities photography enthusiasts, 35mm 1.4 or 28mm 2.0 and so on, the small size and high-quality lens are good choices; wide-angle depth of field is larger, easy to focus, and quick.

2, telephoto

The use of a telephoto lens is mainly able to take closeup photos of people at a distance; quietly observing the returning travelers from a distance will have less impact. Compared to the above-mentioned portable cameras, telephoto lenses are easier to produce good work in terms of capturing the picture, telephoto lenses do not affect the movement of people, while the bokeh effect of telephoto can be more prominent subject, and wide-angle lens to shoot humanities photos form a sharp contrast, a unique flavor.

The general telephoto lens also has a fixed focal length and zoom distinction; the fixed focal length telephoto lens, with a large aperture, but the focal length is not conducive to capture; the zoom is a relatively small aperture, but the focal length is flexible, here or recommend the use of zoom lenses, in the capture performance and large aperture image quality above the trade-off, or in the ability to successfully capture the image is more important, the sacrifice of some bokeh image quality does not matter.

The general telephoto lens also has the best choice of shooting distance; too far focal length is not enough to shoot closeup photos; even in the post screenshot, the effect of the background illusion of people in the lens, there will weaken, such as 70-200mm F2.8 lens, our most common kind of telephoto lens, the general best shooting distance between 5 meters to 15 meters, too close to focus, too far to closeups. And like the Tenglong 150-600mm, such a large long gun, almost able to cover all the people within 40 meters of the closeup, but need to pay attention to the shooting time, there may be many pedestrians passing by, may block part of the realization, the need to properly adjust the shooting.

3, the security of the equipment

When we take pictures, we also need to pay attention to the safety of equipment, and the safety of their own luggage, while the rain, snow inside, the waterproofing and warmth of the equipment, etc., is also something to pay attention to, you can prepare according to the weather conditions, selected with some anti-theft photography backpack is also a very important photographic accessory.

Second: Shooting Skills

1, Focus mode

In response to the movement of pedestrians, the most test of the camera's continuous focus ability, in the settings above, we need to switch the focus mode to continuous focus mode so that the camera can be based on the movement of people to automatically focus operations, so that the focus of our photos can be hauntingly locked characters, always keep the picture focus clear.

2, Continuous shooting mode

In the capture of travelers back home, often that moment of thought expression need to capture through continuous shooting, and in the continuous shooting time, often because the camera shutter sound attracted the attention of the characters, hindering the presentation of the picture, in this, we need to open the camera in the silent continuous shooting mode, although the speed of continuous shooting will be reduced, but can continuous shooting when the noise to see the minimum, to achieve the purpose of not interfering with the shooting The purpose of the character, a small continuous shooting slowdown does not affect too much.

Of course, if you use the telephoto for shooting, due to the distance, you can not open the silent continuous shooting mode; direct continuous shooting or high-speed continuous shooting can be.

3, parameter settings

When shooting people in transport, and in general sports photography settings similar to the way, even to ensure that the shutter speed can not be too low, too slow shutter speed, will cause the movement of the characters is not clear and hair vague situation, so that the overall picture becomes very blurred, no subject, in order to ensure a high shutter speed, we can increase the ISO for shooting, the appropriate increase in ISO can make the shutter speed to reach our The shooting needs, it is recommended that the shutter speed is set at 1/250 or more, especially with telephoto lenses, shutter speed is largely limited by the aperture value is not large enough, so it is very necessary to increase the ISO.

Third: Communication Skills

Capture is a way to shoot without communication; you can shoot from a distance with a telephoto lens, and the subject basically will not notice being shot. But if you want to use a wide angle to medium focal length lens, the necessary communication skills are the key to a good photo.
