How to shoot the feeling of rain when it rains with a digital camera?

Generally, when shooting waterscapes or rainy days, you can't be underexposed. Because the natural water source is often set off by the sky, the reflection is strong, just like a huge luminous body. When shooting, if you only rely on the camera's photometric instructions to deal with the exposure, there will often be underexposure, because the brightness of the sky is very different from that of the general scenery. When shooting a waterscape with sky reflection, at least 2 exposures should be added according to the camera metering instructions. Attention should be paid to the use of light when shooting the picture of wave ship shadow, and the subject should be highlighted according to the relationship between light and shade in the picture.

In order to make the water features have special effects. One method is to use a high-speed shutter, such as11000 seconds, to condense moving water, such as waves. Proper framing and exposure may get the effect of spraying beads and splashing jade, and we can often see similar techniques in some photos showing waves.

Another method is to obtain the illusion and confusion of running water in the picture with the help of a slow shutter. The photos taken in this way are very distinctive in artistic features, and the flowing water often presents a feeling as ethereal as a cloud. The attached picture was taken at the entrance of a village in Jiangxi Province. This place is actually not very good, but through the slow shutter action, the flowing water of the stream has a new charm, making an originally ordinary mountain village scene interesting.

It must be pointed out that in order to reflect the sense of movement of running water, the shutter speed needs to be selected according to the speed of running water. If the running water speed is fast, the shutter speed should be high and the shutter speed should be low. When choosing a low-speed shutter, it is best to use a tripod to stabilize the camera, so as not to shake the camera and affect the picture clarity.

If you have a telephoto lens, you can also use it to compress the space and shoot ripples in the water. When the radio wave is compressed by the telephoto lens, it will show a very rhythmic line, which is wonderful.
