Ten common mistakes photographers.

This is a majority of people (including me) often make mistakes in the photographic overview of the process, these errors tend to mess up a good picture or let us not take the good results. .Explain how to take pictures for me is a huge leap, because it is more subjective than some photoshop guide. .I travel often to see some old photos on the site, wonder why I even <p> This is a most people (including me) often make mistakes in the photographic overview of the process, these errors tend to mess up a good .We can not take photographs or make out good results. .Explain how to take pictures for me is a huge leap, because it is more subjective than some photoshop guide. .I travel often to see some old photos on the site, wonder why I did such a poor photo shoot (at least I can have so many examples to show you Zeyang). .To explain how to correct the errors, first of all what is wrong from the beginning, to start this series of photography tutorial. .</ P> <p> </ p> 1, photo too cluttered (less is better) <p> </ p> <p> in the shooting, often less is better to master a principle. .Press the shutter before, ask yourself what you want to capture shots in the first to notice what? .Then you see the isolated, do not include too much in the lens. .Otherwise, the viewer will feel confused, wondering what to show you in the end, you take pains to what these photos. .</ P> <p> comparison of the following photographs of the urban areas of Philadelphia </ p> <p> messy urban areas of Philadelphia painted this picture of how urban space is suppressed </ p> <p> </ p .> <p> Philadelphia reflection </ p> <p> an old building reflected in a new building </ p> <p> second photograph included in the first photo inside; However, the second is .really said what I wanted to show - the comparison of old and new buildings. .Most of the "snapshot" contains a scene or even more than the first photo, it will be more dilute the theme. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> eyes and minds of ordinary people can often observe the different three-dimensional scene. .May actually see a very good, but a mechanical mixture of photos onto a plane is often the opposite. .</ P> <p> that you had not noticed the problem, certainly when you face the audience fore </ p> <p> course, if you want that space in a big city how .precious, or so closely connected between the buildings, the first picture is still a good picture. .It is for this reason. .I even do not want to amend the original photo (cropped picture above the space) - it makes people feel depressed and nervous. .</ P> <p> Even if this apartment building (below) is not strictly photographic masterpiece, but it is good to see the building show why I was so upset (the windows repeat) .</ p> <p> </ p> <p> in this picture there are too many things that it lacks a lot of fun </ p> <p> </ p> <p> </ p> <p .> Philadelphia apartment building </ p> <p> </ p> <p> This is a good example of too many messy affairs: </ p> <p> Bruhls Terrace Dresden (Elbe side of a street ., Dresden (Germany Saxony state capital) - Translator's Note) </ p> <p> </ p> <p> Masaoki if someone has read this picture, he will be a loss of .. .Once you see the lower left side of the parachute (your eyes are almost outside the screen), you would like to know that the human condition out of the picture, you will leave the screen out. .A good picture should attract the viewer into it rather than the opposite. .</ P> <p> 2, in the photographic process not to have bad weather. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> for a photography lovers, will not encounter bad weather really can be regarded as myth. .In fact, my best photos are taken in a lot of people think that the days of bad weather. .Some places seem to just before the storm was shrouded in thick clouds, like this "half-dome" (half dome - located in Yosemite National Park, please forgive me to translate it into this, in fact, more .direct call him a good half dome - Translator's Note) photo: </ p> <p> winter storms in the semi-dome </ p> <p> </ p> <p> day, I .see that many travelers leave the park with disappointment, but there are many people like me a camera to capture the best umbrella moment. .</ P> <p> comments I often see people in those pictures did not encounter the complaints pure blue sky (I call it annoying the sky), their pictures look very dark. .In such weather, many people almost too lazy to take pictures, this is a big mistake! .Error (if you want to know more, please read my other log), but even if he can solve all the problems with Adobe Photoshop (photo he may make more noise), he also spent a lot of time spent on photographs. .And really there is an error, the brain tease us. .When you press the shutter before, do not worry, start with the frame look at the scene, with your eyes left to bottom right take a hard look, and concentrate on those who find debris. .Or give the wrong vision of the depth of the scene </ p> <p> </ p> <p> 3, no patience </ p> <p> </ p> <p> </ p> <p> captain rocks .(El Captian-Yosemete National Forest, California - Translator's Note) of the sunset and storm </ p> <p> </ p> <p> Patience is a virtue. .I had in Yosemite National Park (Central California - Translator's Note) filmed winter landscape, it is the best photo I've done one. .Winter really is the best test of patience for you every day shrouded in rain and fog among the dark for photography if the weather is bad enough (even smaller than the half-concealed half-dome in the cloud.) .However, I always look forward to staying there on a sunny moment, and it really appeared. .I also got through the clouds to see the captain rocks shooting reward - bathed in golden sunlight scenery. .Of course, I admit, to stay there all day is a bit extreme. .Below is another example: </ p> <p> </ p> <p> rainbow Vernal Falls (Vernal Falls, California Yosemete National Forest Park - Translator's Note) </ p> < .p> I know that if I wait there, sunrise and sunset, a rainbow will be able to appear before the Vernal Falls. .I waited for this moment for 90 minutes (it only lasted about one minute only). .When I stood in the cold mist, and my heart speculate whether a rainbow appears. .Many photographers come from me, do not know what I'm looking for, and stood a moment, turned away because of boredom. .Then two other guys joined me and accompany me to wait, finally we get the best reward. .</ P> <p> 4, the attitude of the digital photo </ p> <p> </ p> <p> digital photos is a boon for photography enthusiasts, you can not spend a penny will be free to shoot more .photos, and you can immediately see the results from the display. .However, people often mistakenly use the preview feature. .When you ask what the favorite features of digital cameras, when nine out of ten will tell you the best digital camera you can delete any picture they do not like! .! .! .Since when is the best feature to delete a photo? .</ P> <p> only the quality of a photo display in the large can judge, unless some really bad pictures (for example, when you press the shutter when someone walked into your lens), or you .Do not remove any photos forever. .</ P> <p> to rely on exposure intensity histogram to judge (who may not be calibrated or the preview screen in the sun to see is not accurate.) .Only the use of professional parameters (histogram, exposure, aperture, ISO, etc.) can determine the quality of your photo. .</ P> <p> never to show the effect of the preview screen to determine the photo. .Do you delete pictures at home (if it makes you happy), but I usually keep everything. .Flash memory is becoming incredibly cheap, I usually carriers of a digital companion (storage photo), which allows me to delete any photographs without emptying my memory card. .</ P> <p> 5, the attitude of Photoshop </ p> <p> </ p> <p> I recently wrote an article entitled "Please wait PS" in the log. .A "photographer" filmed a group of photos, but found that the flash does not open, he put away the camera light that "PS I'll look." .</ P> <p> this point of view a lot </ p> <p> then flash may only need to take a few seconds, so if you think the original shot is not ideal and you also have the opportunity, or re- .take a right (but do not remove the previous goes on - see the fourth point, some people may be in the new photos eyes closed, or some other reason the previous picture is better) </ p> <p> .Photoshop is invaluable for photographers the tools (I even own Photoshop also write some guidelines); However, it is not a panacea, and you can not simply make a bad picture to use PS as a good picture. .</ P> <p> rookie I'm a technical (computer terms), we often say: garbage in - garbage out (computer is used, meaning no matter how powerful the computer, it can only deal of useful information into the .garbage or trash out - Translator's Note), the same principle applies with Photoshop. .</ P> <p> </ p> 6, the lens has unnecessary features <p> </ p> <p> Polynesian statue, behind the busy background with some </ p> < .p> </ p> <p> from another angle, a separate Polynesian statue </ p> <p> </ p> <p> you often feel very thoughtful consideration, and also consider themselves a shot .perfect photo, but when you look back on the computer when these photos as much as one in the photos were found ugly branches, wires or other things what you never expected. .As the first </ p> <p> many cases, even a slight angle or move the transformation point, we can make photos look great. .Look at the two photos above, I photographed side near the stone side of a photo, I immediately realized that the background of some overwhelming. .Three-dimensional scene is mapped to two-dimensional picture, the background tends to come out, take two steps left, we can separate the desired performance of the theme </ p> 7, is always to take pictures from a standing height <p> </ p> < .p> In many cases, if the photographer can put your camera (in your knee or abdomen), the effect might be better sold. .</ P> <p> grass on sand dunes in Oregon </ p> <p> </ p> <p> I was lying on the floor lights up this picture, I can make these weeds occupy the dominant position of the whole picture .and demonstrates the song in the perfect curve of sand dunes. .</ P> <p> this is another to Baltimore (a city in Maryland - Translator's Note) There are many examples are to climb the high ground to shoot photos of: </ p> <p> Nevada .Falls - Yosemite National Park </ p> <p> </ p> <p> </ p> <p> while you choose from the high terrain could not be more beneficial to a high shot. .You can climb a tree or shoot through your window (although the picture above is taken from that point of view) </ p> <p> to walk a few steps to climb a nearby mountain to get a better perspective, .only depends on the personal decision. .Good point, and not always can be found, but you can quickly learn how to identify good and bad angles and perspectives. .This can be more interesting and non-static images. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> following picture is a picture Cuzco, Peru: </ p> <p> </ p> <p> Cusco Plaza de Armas < ./ p> <p> </ p> <p> difficult to find a favorable terrain to shoot this picture, I lingered for a while, always wondering how to shoot out in the city. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> I have been looking for a can contain the market, the two churches, and peaks with the perspective of text shooting, but no matter where I go, my eyes not to be .blocking all content that is not captured. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> After a child, I found an abandoned church in a little girl and I am very enthusiastic guide to the spire (she is the unofficial custodian of the keys.) .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> I gave her a friendly little tip, we are very happy. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> I got other people do not have any photos, because I find the favorable terrain for more time to pay. .In fact, anywhere else in the city can not be taken to the square, because there is no open vision. .</ P> <p> rattlesnake on this photo, bent down, with the snake eyes, the eyes are lively and interesting </ p> <p> then stand up (do not worry, I am a big glass windows .security, this picture is taken in a zoo ;-))</ p> <p> </ p> <p> Diamondbacks </ p> <p> </ p> 8, only the rigid shooting portraits <p .> </ p> <p> most people should have been the perfect scene in the front of people who pose a gracefully. .Do not get me wrong, I'm glad someone was standing there, but how many of you really enjoy and stay interested in it? .Picture looks no buzz, people always put the same position. .You still stand before the blue curtain to pose it. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> I do not oppose the process of photographing people travel photos, some of which will be very interesting, but I want to capture the moment would be a better choice. .People laugh and play together, play the scene than let them stand in front of the camera to blunt much more interesting. .</ P> 9, according to the other people do not want to <p> </ p> <p> this attitude in front of a misunderstanding on the contrary, in fact, absolutely legitimate reason to shoot the other person into the picture. .I often leave the pictures and other unrelated people and then shooting, and did not realize they also are part of the scene. .For copyright reasons, I usually just made it difficult to identify the face or at least get verbal permission of the photo. .</ P> <p> characters in the picture should be the four most common reasons: </ p> <ol> guide the viewer into the picture. .Place a person outside the main area, and let him face the subject. .Viewers will not consciously agree with this figure. .The scene of the shooting to a reference scale. .Only shot into a person, the viewer can accurately understand the "delicate arches" (Delicate Arch, located in the arch stone National Park (Arches National Park) in - translators note) great: People itself is not a scene .obtained. .An actor or athlete in the stadium record of photographs of people's lives, people closely associated with the scene with the </ ol> 10, the proportion of <p> </ p> <p> your camera has a zoom feature, is not it? .Use it! .</ P> <p> back just said travel photography. .Many people in the scene before a great pose, for example, before a mountain, taking pictures from close range. .In the photo, the mountains because the characters seem too much contrast and small. .If you're far enough away as much as possible, use the zoom closer to the scene, so that the proportion of people and the right of the mountain (you can pull into your date feel comfortable) </ p> <p> Also, since you're zooming, .will become a great mountain, so that the whole picture seems to be more interesting. .Each of your friends would be jealous of your photo shoot that stick, because it is not only a portrait photo, more interesting to a huge background (mountains). .</ P> <p> the same token there is no figure for the photos. .If you want to shoot the subject of a foreground and background, away from the prospects and narrow the lens. .This would better highlight the background, which will make your photos more harmonious. .</ P> <p> </ p> <p> 圣塔伊尼斯 Abbey (Denmark) and a smaller cross </ p> <p> 圣塔伊尼斯 Abbey (Denmark) and looks great cross < ./ p> <p> </ p> <p> top two photos only difference is that I was standing position. .Cross and bell tower in both pictures the same distance, but the picture is compressed above the clock tower and the cross depth of field (so to my liking, so I approached a few steps.) .Sometimes just the opposite case, you might make back some of the background closer. .</ P> <p> near the cannon, artillery, and highlights the dwarf fortress in the background (the effect of this is what I want because I want to show the size of cannons) </ p> <p> </ p .> <p> an artillery fort in Baltimore </ p> written in the last <p> art is not something we can plunder and things in their hands, not as obvious, there is no right and wrong. .Rules are made to be broken, and many I met the most amazing masterpiece did not follow any rules. .This article is only used to inspire further thought and practice of photography for beginners. .</ P> <p> I have been learning and developing my style. .I will not claim to capture the perfect photo, some people might like it, but others not so. .</ P> <p> However, I have taken my first step, and I am happy with my readers share my view. .</ P> <p> this article will be the first photographic series. .So far, I focus on the tools of writing skills and techniques. .</ P> <p> no matter what, we should first of all, as a photography lovers and artists, to strive to improve our skills. .Next month, I hope to write more articles about photography, trying to delve into photography (exposure, the spirit of ... ...), art (composition, form, layout) and more elusive (how to keep, how to .foreseeable circumstances) </ p>.
