Shooting Skills of Canon IXUS 100IS

Yes, the silhouette effect is most likely to appear under backlight ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— In digital landscape photography, backlight photography is a photography technique with certain shooting difficulty and unique artistic effect. Backlight comes from the back of the scene, and the subject we shoot is often a dark part without direct light, which is not easy to show the light and dark levels and lines of the scene, with large contrast and many changes. Without rich shooting skills and experience, the exposure of the subject will be inaccurate and the unique charm of backlight photography will not be displayed. Therefore, photographers should be able to skillfully use and master the following skills when shooting backlight photography works: 1, and the exposure should be based on the exposure of the subject, and the rest should be ignored. If you shoot the sunrise or sunset, you should take the exposure value of the sky or the sun as the main basis. 2. When shooting flowers, plants, people, animals and other scenes with clear outline and transparent texture, we should choose a darker background as the contrast, and use high light as the basis for metering when exposing, so as to create a strong light ratio contrast, strengthen the backlight effect, and achieve the artistic effect of clear outline and highlighting the subject. 3. When shooting the silhouette effect, the exposure should be based on the bright background brightness. 4. When shooting in backlight, the camera is facing a strong light source, so pay attention to the influence of glare. Try using a hood or using hands, hats, cardboard, etc. Stand in front of the camera or adjust the shooting angle to prevent glare. There are two most commonly used backlight shooting effects: one is silhouette effect, and the other is "side light" effect. The following are backlight photos taken at the same time, place and subject matter in different ways, with completely different effects. The effect of "silhouette light" under backlight Although the above picture was under backlight at that time, due to the high position of the sun, the camel team and the top of the sand dune illuminated by the light outlined bright outlines, which contrasted with the large dark background and formed a unique "silhouette light" effect under backlight. When shooting, photometry is the main method, and the average photometry should be reduced by 2 ~ 3 blocks to avoid overexposure. Silhouette effect Silhouette effect shooting is relatively simple, and the light exposure can be taken as the standard when shooting, mainly to reflect the unique tone and atmosphere of the environment, as shown in the above picture. Simple background has a way. Landscape photography not only emphasizes the choice and arrangement of the subject, but also can't ignore the treatment of the background. Background refers to the scenery behind the subject to set off the subject, so as to emphasize the environment in which the subject is located. Background plays an important role in highlighting the image and enriching the subject connotation. Background processing is an important link in the structure of photographic pictures. Only by careful selection in shooting can the picture content be refined and accurate, and the visual image be perfectly expressed. The ideal background should be simple and pure, with exquisite visual elements and harmonious colors. Experienced photographers are good at mobilizing various skills to realize the simplicity of the background, and all unnecessary elements in the background that hinder the main body from protruding should be subtracted. To sum up, there are several ways to improve the background: First, the blur method uses a larger lens aperture (such as F2 or F2.8), reduces the depth of field as much as possible, and focuses on the subject, so that the background behind the clear subject becomes blurred, thus achieving a good effect of setting the virtual against the real. Second, the shading method is to use the rising clouds, misty white fog, branches and leaves of trees, or the back of mountains, walls and other objects to hide the background and highlight the main body. Third, the avoidance method adjusts the shooting height, or tilts upward to avoid the messy scenery on the horizon, and neatly sets off the main object on the sky background; Or take the road, water and grassland as the background, so that the outline of the main body is clear and a concise background is obtained. Sometimes a long focal length lens is used to reduce the background, and messy scenes are excluded from the picture. As shown above, "Flying South in Wild Goose": With the blue natural sky as the background, the scattered geese fly overhead, and the main body is prominent and clear.
