Recently, everyone should pay attention to the related news of "Canal China Image Exhibition", and some of the shortlisted works make people don't know what to say.

According to the author, he wants to show "fuzzy beauty". Anyway, he has completed at least 2/3, so there is no problem with vagueness. Or adding such a title can be more in-depth: "my 1000-degree myopia + astigmatism when I forget to wear glasses when I go out."

The photos obtained by losing focus and shaking can sometimes produce a sense of obscurity and blurred beauty, but they also need to be displayed in an appropriate way combined with scenes and themes. Today, I would like to share with you how to shoot artistic conception and beauty through out-of-focus.

Out-of-focus is the blurred state of the whole picture or the main body of the picture outside the depth of field when shooting. In short, it is the blurred form of the picture formed by the "inaccurate" focus.

It can be partially out of focus, or it can be out of focus at all.

Now that the picture is blurred, isn't the picture useless? Can it look good?

The out-of-focus caused by mistakes may not look good, but if we deliberately lose focus and create a sense of atmosphere during shooting, we can also make the photo have a good effect, because the sense of out-of-focus also has its own unique feeling:

1. The most obvious manifestation of hazy defocus is that the picture is blurred, the lines are not obvious, and the colors are dizzy, which is a bit like foggy and rainy days. Although the picture is not clear enough, there is a special hazy feeling, like a dream.

If we want to shoot a hazy theme, we can try to use out-of-focus to create this feeling.

two。 To make clear the primary and secondary of the picture when there are more elements in the picture, it is very important to have a clear distinction between primary and secondary, and a clear main body. In general, we will shoot clearly the important elements and void the secondary or irrelevant elements, but in fact, we can also do the opposite and use defocus to highlight the existence of certain elements.

For example, in a city scene where people come and go, we use a large aperture to make the characters in front of the camera virtual, making them out of focus, and take clear pictures of the people and high-rise buildings behind them. in this way, it is easier for us to notice the virtual characters when we look at the photos, because the comparison between reality and reality will also make us notice the elements that are different from those around us. And out-of-focus characters are also easy to remind us of a feeling of helplessness, thus highlighting the theme of the photo.

3. Shaping the sense of atmosphere is looming and hazy itself is a good sense of atmosphere, such as virtual lights, candlelight and so on, which is very suitable for the performance of lazy, casual emotional atmosphere.

When we watch a movie, we often observe this kind of shot: a scene changes from blurred out-of-focus to clear or from clear to blurry, which is the shaping of an emotional atmosphere.

How to make good use of out-of-focus to take textured photos? Here are several themes that are suitable for shooting:

1. Light at night when the light is out of focus at night, the lights will appear as light spots one by one. If the lights are dense and colorful, it will be very romantic. The blues moment after sunset is very suitable for taking pictures of this kind of atmosphere and out of focus. You can also take emotional photos with portraits.

two。 Rainy, foggy, rainy and foggy days bring a sense of obscurity. If we want to enhance this atmosphere, we can shoot with out-of-focus. We can focus on some interesting small object and make most of the scene in a virtual state. This can well enhance the hazy atmosphere.

3. When shooting scenery portraits, we usually tend to take clear pictures of the characters, or both the characters and the scenery, and if we want to pursue an atmosphere in which the characters are small or lonely, we can try to make the characters virtual. Make it out of focus, and take a clear picture of the background, so that the photos also have a strong emotional appeal.

Especially in the relatively weak evening, early morning, cloudy and rainy weather, the photos taken in this way have a very romantic feeling.
