The Secret of Shooting Method of Night Scene Photos

Lead: The night in the city is a world of light and shadow, and the festive anniversary lights will make the night more colorful than the day. Taking pictures at night is different from during the day, so pay more attention to the light. How to make your camera show colorful subjects in the dark night and make the night as rich as the atmosphere of the anniversary? Next, please listen to my detailed introduction.

Use a small aperture

Taking pictures with a small aperture will enlarge the depth of field, so that the scenery will not be blurred by the depth of the scene, while taking pictures with a small aperture can make the lights star-shaped and the effect is more prominent.

The more times you adjust the aperture, the smaller the aperture will be!

Light and shadow graffiti creation

Use light and painting to create. More consideration, more composition, more practice, more innovation, more special photography methods, and good works will naturally come into being!

Use a tripod

The exposure time is long, so the camera must remain hidden to take clear photos. In order to avoid damaging the photo effect by vibration, it is best to use a tripod to reduce shaking.

Adjust white balance

White balance is a unique feature of digital cameras, especially when shooting at night, choosing different white balance will directly affect the color and artistic conception of photos, because the light emitted by floodlights at night can show more colorful light on digital cameras than the naked eye.

So when taking pictures at night, if we want to break the active white balance that we have been relying on, the lighting will affect the original color. Make it lose its unique color temperature feeling. In order to highlight colorful lanterns, the white balance can be set to? Sunlight or? Outdoor? Mode.

time exposure

Long-term exposure, long-term exposure will make the light that ordinary naked eyes can't detect, and make the effect doubly attractive.

No tripod

Assuming there is no tripod, the solution is to improve the brightness ISO. This is beneficial to the stability of taking pictures and reduces the difficulty of taking pictures. For digital cameras without manual exposure, increasing ISO value can obtain stable imaging effect at night, which is also an available method. The second method is to use a large aperture lens. Suppose you have a lens with a large aperture, you can adjust the aperture. Because in a dark environment, a larger aperture can let more light into the lens and improve the shutter speed, but a larger aperture will make the depth of field shallower, so be sure to pay attention when taking pictures.

Lower ISO value

When taking photos of Sky Garden in Sha Tin at night, the noise in the dark part of the photos will be particularly obvious after long-term exposure, so if the surrounding environment allows, you should use a lower' ISO' value to get the best photo effect.

Pay attention to composition

When composing a composition, we should give full consideration to the important unlit positions and try to put them in one-third of the picture. When shooting the whole scene, try to tolerate part of the ground entering the framing range and put the horizon in the lower third of the picture. The rest, the use of foreground is also very important to the beauty of a photo. In photographic composition, the accurate use of foreground and background can make the scenery in the photo more harmonious and appealing. Good composition is the key to success.
