Auto Show Photography

For the preparation before shooting, I believe the answer, and so grand show, of course, the most important preparation is to prepare enough food supplies and ammunition, and enough film or digital camera memory card, sufficient power supply is essential to enthusiasm does not occur during the filming did not film / memory or camera without electricity, then it can only be disappointed and back. Also a good camera, of course, indispensable, more people on the show, preferably with large zoom camera, the one can avoid the crowds, and secondly, outstanding depth of field can get a better body.

Tripod

Most of the auto show, held indoors, indoor dim light in general more, faithful color when shooting is the first time to pay attention to the stability of the camera must be maintained to avoid false picture of the hair, the problem may be we all know, but To really solve the reverse is not an easy thing. At this time, tripod and flash are you a good helper, with the help of a tripod, even then also need not worry about slow shutter tremor, but when you meet people more time, more difficult to use a tripod, is often not enough time and space for you to slowly adjust, I also now have such an experience, in the crowded hall, the heavy NIKON EN-EL10 Battery tripod can only increase the burden on me, and no chance to use.

Flash

In contrast, in the event such occasions, the role of the flash effect is apparent than the tripod, the same tremor can prevent the phenomenon, but also kind of want the flexibility to shoot using the flash, unlike the tripod-like cumbersome. However, the use of flash has some skills can not make you want to get clever anti-dig, shoot a bad photo out of the other compact digital cameras due to the general power of built-in flash is relatively small, at the show to be useful, I propose the better to use an external flash.

Indoor flash problems are most likely to shadow the problem, if the person behind the camera is not enough space, away from the walls of more recent case, direct use of flash lighting will be photographed in the shadows behind the emergence of thick black, very ugly, this time As long as the flash in front of you plus one to two layers of white paper to solve the problem, the flash ago softer white light that allows not only the performance figures for the skin, you can fade out the shadow, if not entirely dissipated, can effectively reduce the hardness of the shadow, photos will look more comfortable.

In addition there is a problem is worthy of color faithful to note, once I was distressed asked why the same under the flash shooting with the same exposure, some photos will be brighter, some darker picture it? After photos the observation that, all these different pictures of light and dark is taken under different focal lengths, the camera's exposure value although the same, but because of factors of equipment, in fact not the same as the actual exposure. Because the general consumer digital cameras and traditional cameras ordinary aperture zoom lens is not constant, the maximum aperture at wide-angle end can only be achieved when the focal length increases, the aperture value will be reduced one to two, and this is causing the problem of varying light and dark picture, the solution can increase the use of telephoto shooting in paragraph one to two stages of exposure, may try to come nearer, do not use the longest focal length to shoot.

ISO

 To avoid the photos on a virtual, you can also increase the sensitivity of digital cameras, and perhaps the value of using high EN-EL10 Battery ISO film, but to pay attention to the general increase will bring ISO image enlargement, increased noise problem, the general amateur photographic and digital cameras degree preferably not more than ISO400, otherwise difficult to achieve the desired quality. Another current consumer digital cameras, like the Panasonic FZ10, Canon S1IS, Konica Minolta A2 have suffered anti-shake feature, you can greatly improve the stability of the camera so that to prevent hand tremors are quite useful.

Lighting control

Auto light on very complex, especially the spotlight, making light disorder, different color temperature, so that greatly increased the difficulty shooting. We can use when shooting the scene the spotlight to the models using the flash light and fill light the way to shoot in mixed light sources not only show a sense of ambient light with the atmosphere of the scene, and so the color models also tend to be more real, the role of the flash different color temperature can also be trimmed.

White balance settings

If you do not use flash photography, the color temperature of the problem may haunt you, so that the complex light to your digital camera's automatic white balance may not be accurate, there are some obvious color cast, this time need to use manual white balance settings, and general digital cameras have this function, and white balance features can be obtained by warm tone of the work, the following graph is obtained by changing the white balance settings of the picture, looking for a very comfortable, it is recommended you have time white balance can make good use of DC function.

Black and white

Also if you use black and white photography, color temperature problem would not exist, and if you like black and white, then it may wish to try out, shot in black and white, the difficulty will be greatly reduced, the factors to be considered less, to a good works naturally easy.

Shooting with backlighting

The use of the backlight can show the model's hair color and texture, and can outline the main contours of the bright, backlit effect is difficult to get along under light conditions, the use of the backlight is one of the good work.

Background processing

The show a lot of people, when in the shooting has nothing to do if the person shooting into the picture, the picture will be destroyed, we can not highlight the body, not beautiful. Photography is an art of subtraction, we need to streamline the screen as much as possible, as far as possible in order to highlight the main elements of concise, this time to make a good depth of field control. Factors that affect the depth of field presumably we all know it, is to try to use paragraphs and large aperture telephoto to shoot, this time a large 10X optical zoom or more OLYMPUS li-42b battery cameras can flourish by. The following picture is the use of large aperture and telephoto pictures taken paragraphs, background although very close from the model, but also get a relatively good depth of field, highlighting the subject.

In addition to the background can control depth of field, but also can show posters around the wall or as a background, the exhibition were carefully arranged, beautifully hung all around, large posters, and models as long as the communication and let her go before the film poster The background can also get good results. The figure is the use of pictures and wall posters, the use of a small depth of field available, the effect is quite good.

Communication model

If we can achieve good communication with the model, it is a film all the more pleasant things, not a strange feeling, the first model will show more natural relaxed, as a photographer you will naturally looks even more vigorously the ! Communicate with the model of course, the premise is to respect them, as long as you respect and sincerity to them, they often will be happy to assist your shooting, if you can experience something like this so lively MM, it will happen you do not murder less film it!

POSE

Although most of the show's models are more professional, they will put on a variety of different positions, but sometimes may not be able to achieve what you want, if you already have with her good communication, this time you I can safely make your proposal, you want her to put a POSE. The following is required through the communication model assumed after the POSE, I want to basically achieve the effect.

Car shooting

Waited a long time talked about how models are just that shooting it? We can not forget that this is a car show, car is the real protagonist Yeah. In fact, shooting a car, but a good subject, we also spent some thought to the valuable and generous pat on sections of the car now!

As more people to take a global car photographs may not be easy, this time by watching the local film about cars, car parts for each are carefully designed, will be able to shoot as long as the careful observation of many good photos !

If the shooting car overall picture, in order to avoid the crowds intake screen, you can use a low angle, like the picture below, the use of low angle, the roof into the background, completely avoid the intake of the population screen, and then with the wide-angle use, making the photos have a certain momentum, is very suitable for the performance luxury sports car.
