【雙語閱讀】節(jié)日拍照小“心機”：從2013美到2014

Holiday photos only come around once a year, so of course, you want them to be special. But who needs to hire a professional when you can take great card-worthy pictures yourself?
　　圣誕節(jié)、跨年夜，一年才拍這么一次假期照，你當然想讓它們特別一點。但是如果你自己就能拍出能印上賀卡的照片，你還用得著找專業(yè)攝影師嗎？

　　Have a read, then get snapping; you'll want everyone to see the results.
　　看了這五點之后再拍照，你會忍不住和別人分享你的美照哦！

　　1. Plan Ahead
　　提前計劃

　　Before you start snapping, iron out all the details about the kind of picture you want.
　　在你拍照之前，請想好你想拍的照片的所有細節(jié)。

　　Will you use props? Will you have a list of poses ready to try out?
　　你打算用一些小道具嗎？你已經(jīng)想好了準備嘗試的所有拍照姿勢？
 
　　2. Pay Close Attention to the Background
　　密切留心拍照背景

　　Don't let something like a branch sticking out of someone's head or a trash can ruin the perfect photo opportunity.
　　別讓一根伸出來的樹枝擋住某人的頭；別讓一個垃圾桶破壞了照片的整體美感。

　　Before you snap, pay attention to all the distractions behind your subjects.
　　拍照之前，請留心拍照對象后面的干擾物。

　　3. Overshoot
　　多按幾次快門

　　It's always better to have too many photos to choose from than too little.
　　對于拍照來說，有的選總比沒的選要好。

　　Try close-ups or step back for wider shots. Experiment with various angles (get low, climb high) and use different lenses, if you have them.
　　你可以嘗試著拍特寫或者退后幾步試試廣角鏡頭。此外，你還可以多角度拍攝（低下身子或者爬到高處）；如果你有不同的鏡頭的話，你也可以試試多種鏡頭拍攝。

　　4. Get in It
　　怎么讓自己進入鏡頭

　　If you want to hop in the photo, take time to plan this, too. Invest in a tripod so you can prop up your camera.
　　如果你自己也想加入到鏡頭中，那你也需要時間來好好計劃。你可以買一個三腳架來放照相機。

　　5. Get Technical
　　一些技術(shù)性的問題

　　Whether you're using your phone's camera or a DSLR, pay attention to the settings.
　　不管你是用手機拍照還是用單反，你都要對相機的設(shè)置留個心。

　　If you have a large group of people in the shot, you'll want to adjust your focus so everyone comes out clear. Plus, remember to steer clear of using flash: it only makes photos look less authentic!
　　如果你拍的是群體照，你得調(diào)整焦距讓每個人的臉都是清楚的。除此之外，記住不要用閃光燈：那只會讓照片失真！
