How to shoot the sunset? What is the measurement method? Is the aperture larger or smaller? Is the shutter big or small?

Small aperture and slow shutter should be adopted.

It is suggested to use the black card method, first block the bright part and let the dark part be exposed first, then remove the card and let this part be exposed again. At this time, it is recommended to use door B.

Don't measure light directly in the sun, which will easily damage the lens and expose the film. You can measure the light according to the sky near the sun.

Adjust color temperature

Although there are similar scene modes in the camera menu, if you want to make the film feel what you want, you'd better adjust the white balance yourself. Compared with night, the color in the morning is colder and the light is more transparent, so we can set the color temperature below 4700. When shooting the sunset, you can adjust the color temperature above 6000 to increase the warm color effect.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. Take the long focal length lens as the main shooting lens (about 250mm lens for 120 camera or about 135 lens for135 camera), and take its short depth of field function.

2. According to the principle of portrait formula composition method, close-up, half-length, seven-point or full-body composition can be taken directly, about 5-8 steps away from the subject.

3. During exposure, according to the characteristics of portrait photography, the aperture compensation of 1 ~ 2 should be turned on to make the facial texture brighter. The light on people's faces is soft and bright, which is the focus of this kind of photos.

4. In order to create bright eyes, it is best to place a reflector or whiteboard in front of the portrait to make the eyes reflect bright spots.

5. When printing, it is best to follow the post-processing skills and soft focus treatment to completely soften the skin and make the whole photo soft.

6. You have to change the shape or props of the theme characters, otherwise the visual focus of the photos will remain unchanged, and the shortcomings of composition, depth of field and shooting techniques will be exposed.
