Lesson 4 a good shooting position

To take a clear picture, the use of a tripod is the best choice, but as we mentioned before, in many situations and conditions, the use of handheld shooting, or the highest probability, so the photographer how to master good shooting position, is an important issue to make a good photo.Interestingly, even in years of old bird of a shot, and his shooting position may not be the most reliable, although he may be an master, but it seems less attention should be able to use better posture.

Today, Some teachers like to tell you to mention a good shooting position, students should note that we do not necessarily need to follow these actions to take pictures, after all, everyone's shooting habits are not the same, but these actions indeed can help us to take pictures more stable, so the students can choose their own way to try.

Figure I

First we look at the general standard posture, standing photos is our most commonly encountered situations, a model from the chart, in the pictures we use the left hand to support the weight of body and lens, while the right hand is responsible for the stability of machine body and press the shutter action. Try to avoid using his right hand to share the weight of the camera, so when you press the shutter, it does not matter compared to reduce the shaking.

Nature of the drooping hands and shoulders, do not arch or shrug shoulders, legs slightly open, so the focus can be assigned to two feet steady, the pace around the bow is also very suitable for mobility of the shooting, as long as the legs and not to the tight, like a stand at attention, like on the line. Figure II

Next we look at Figure II, shoulders arms drooping naturally, let your posture to maintain a relatively easy to take pictures, while the two upper arm is best to develop the habit of the body to move closer, as if the habit of the arms open, then we have no way to share the weight of the camera by the body arm , then the burden will all move to the shoulder with the arm joints. This film not long be prone to pain, the natural stability is not easy to shoot photos.

Figure III

Figure III is a reference picture taken kneeling, kneeling shooting position with the upper body standing as the main points of the hands, lower body, use your legs open with his right knee, the left knee raised high kneeling position. Lift left knee because the knee can be used to support the body responsible for the left hand, then his left hand like a monopod as it can be used to aid stability. Right foot to right knee touch the ground, the hips sit on the heel, allowing the body to be a very stable environment, this camera position are of great help to improve the stability of our pictures.

Figure Four

We have to take note of the camera strap. For many students, it may only be hung on the shoulder strap or just on the role of the neck. In fact, the use of the strap is a good tool to hold the fuselage in the front left, will be the same as the figure four on his arm wrapped around a tape twice, and then forced pull tight, this can help your camera and left as one, support generated by reducing the shaking, this concept has played military service should be the target of the students know. In addition, it can also protect the camera, if only because the collision, it will not fall from your hands.

Finally, press the shutter timing of the shooting, some students may have heard the argument to stopped breathing tie ,teacher flet it not need to insist too much, it is better to concentrate on the object you want to shoot, I feel the timing according to the shutter, one time, press the shutter on the right. If you can hold it breath taking pictures'd might as well try, but the teacher's lung capacity is small, this approach only to me it would be counter-productive.

Front of this lessons, the teacher has already said a lot of pictures of the basic preparatory work,how much do students learn it? The next Church started, happy to begin the formal to take pictures gone, then talk about the composition, we have to start preparing for homework slightly.
