How can I take a reflex picture everywhere?

For a good photo, the most important thing is the idea, but if you want to be realized, you need strong skills and experience. In essence, taking pictures is a process of exposure, but in fact, we also need to understand the functional operations of different cameras, understand the exposure needs in different environments, and understand the problems in later treatment.

There are many ways to take wonderful photos, and use the simple creativity we can think of to create eye -catching photos.

Of course, to observe the world. Only the keen observation of the world can allow us to discover beauty in daily life and capture beauty with the camera in our hands.

Reflection is the most common picture in our lives. In real life, the reflection is almost everywhere. Whether it is a small puddle on the ground, the window of the store, or even the car's body, it can become a reflected medium.

Because the surface of some reflexes is not flat, like the curved metal, unevenness will distort the reflection, causing an exaggerated but very interesting effect. Using the reflexes around us, we can also make a good look. photo.

1. Reflex can create symmetry and depth

Just as placing a large mirror in the room can increase the depth of the room, reflex can also create depth in the space.

The reflection of the water surface will symmetrical the picture, while also continuing the content to the other half of the picture.

2. Reflex can create humorous pictures

Some street photographers like to use the reflection of the surface of the building to create an interesting picture, just like the picture below. When the person walks through the building, the surface of the building cuts it and half of them will be symmetrical to see the picture. It's funny.

3. Reflex can create abstraction

Although we always hope that the photos can be clear when taking pictures, sometimes a abstract picture can also bring beauty.

What should a photo of an abstract look? Shapes, textures, and colors, all of which can be superimposed in the screen by reflection.

Although we always think that we are accustomed to the environment around us, we only see around us, and sometimes we look up or look down or look down on different beauty.

It's like the colorful and humid ground under the lights.

And photographer Saul Leiter also likes to use all elements that can be used, reflective, reflection, blurring, shadow, color, and use various means to create the boundaries beyond realism. Glass is the most commonly used prop. It can easily create abstract elements such as reflection and distortions through glass, which also makes the light more complex and changeable.

Spanish photographer Hélène Desplechin also likes to use reflection, ripples, glass, etc. to create distorted and blurred images to strengthen the emotions she wants to express.

The randomness and twist in the water make the image more intriguing, and the unclear picture also provides a good imagination space -of course, it also depends on the expression and body language of the model. The distortion of the picture is only a strengthening effect.

There are also many places in our lives that are distorted, such as water, such as smoke, such as glass, are good subjects.

4. Try different media

For us, the most common reflection medium is the water surface. Whether it is a lake or a small puddle, good reflex works can be made. However, reflexes are not the monopoly of water. We can observe the surroundings more. In many materials, good reflections can be taken, such as glass, metal, etc.

5. Embracing flaws

Sometimes we are too attached to the full -mirror reflection. Similarly, it is not surprising that if you look at it too much. When shooting reflection, use some natural flaws, such as ripples in the water, forming regular ripples, and some different photos.

6. Use long exposure to shoot water

When shooting the reflection in the river, because the river water has been flowing, it will not be as calm as the lake surface, and the exposure time may form a fairly dreamy fuzzy reflection effect.

Long -term exposure can be atomized and blurred water, so that the water surface looks like a beautiful silky effect. By extending the exposure time, the rapid flowing water can also become more peaceful. Like marshmallow. The exposure of one or two seconds is enough to make the water flow in the movement softer, produce different textures. For longer exposure, the water can be completely softened, creating a unique silky effect.

Like any type of photography, shooting reflection also requires a lot of experience to accumulate. It cannot be said that you can take a masterpiece to pick up the camera, then you are too godly.Usually see the ideal picture, don't let it go, now the mobile phone is so convenient, pick up the mobile phone and take two photos in the past, and you naturalObvious glare), how to choose an angle to shoot (the incident angle that may need to be taken for each different material is different).In short, it is still that sentence, observe more, find the beauty around you, and don't forget to record it.
