Beginners must see how to take a silhouette of reflection in photography.

Photography is the process of using light and shadow. In the process of photography, there will always be special light and shadow, such as reflection, silhouette, etc., so it is necessary to make rational use of light. No matter what kind of light and shadow will bring us a special visual experience. Let's talk about how to make rational use of these special light and shadow.

Silhouette should be the most widely used place for large-area shadows in daily shooting, and most photographers will take silhouette photos under backlight. The key is to highlight the subject by expressing the shape and posture of the object and the outline of the object. The subject in the photo often has only a black outline and does not contain any details. The object of silhouette photography can be people, objects or scenes. A simple silhouette can always attract the audience's attention quickly through the beauty of form or color.

Silhouette is one of the most important techniques in photographic expression. When taking silhouettes, use backlighting and choose bright scenery as the background. According to the need, you can make 1 ~ 2 negative exposure compensation, or adopt M-block full manual exposure mode to make the subject completely black. The difficulty of taking silhouette photos lies in accurate metering and exposure. The photographer can switch the metering mode to spot metering or central key metering, and after metering the brighter part of the picture, press the exposure lock key, or record the exposure value at this time, then switch to M-block manual exposure mode, set the exposure value to the value just recorded, and then re-compose and shoot; You can also directly measure the light in different areas, and then make negative exposure compensation of about 2 blocks. At this time, the subject in the picture will show a black outline due to insufficient exposure. F22 or even smaller aperture is not recommended, because too small aperture will affect the image quality.

Reflection is formed by specular reflection on the surface of an object, which can only be seen on a smooth surface with obvious reflection effect. Reflection can reflect the color and three-dimensional sense of objects, and the reflection that shakes, twists and deforms in the reflection can form the effect of abstract painting, which will make people have various associations.

In landscape photography, many photographers like to fill the whole picture with reflections to present an abstract and picturesque effect. Sometimes in order to express the quiet beauty of the scene, there are few or no real scenes in the whole picture, but the audience can feel the quiet world from the reflection, which is the charm of the reflection.

I hope it helps you.
