How to shoot the scenery

In order to accurately represent and reproduce colors, the shooting standards of advertisements and products are stricter than any other photography category. What are the shooting skills of scenery? The following is the related content I shared, welcome to read, for reference only!

Multi-area photometry

The picture is divided into several areas, each area uses an independent photometric element to measure light, and then the internal microprocessor averages the exposure.

Central key average photometry

The camera usually focuses on the center of the picture (about 60% of the picture), taking into account the edge of the picture.

Local (central) photometry

The photometry element of the camera will photometry the area in the center of the picture, accounting for about 12% of the picture, and finally carry out average weighting to obtain photometry data.

Spot photometry

The metering element will measure light in a small area where 1%-3% is measured in the center of the picture.

Multi-area photometry

The advantage of this metering method is that it can accurately and evenly expose the' light' in the scene environment, which is the exposure method that most primary filmmakers prefer to choose.

Central average photometry

When there are Gao Fancha or different colors in the picture, the camera will measure several areas and emphasize a certain area according to the photographer's needs.

C. local (central) photometric determination

This metering mode is very suitable for taking landscape photos with the subject in the center of the picture, but the subject and background are very different.

D spot photometry

This metering mode is mostly used when the photographer wants to fully express the subject, in other words, "measuring who wants to stand out".

Observe the blue sky

Use the central focus or matrix photometry method to read the numerical value of the sky, expose it according to it, and shoot sunrise, sunset, sunny and snowy scenery, evening night scenes and so on. The biggest trouble when shooting is to pay attention to the interference of the sun in the picture. This requires pointing the camera at the sun, which is not included in the picture, and reading the value. But this method has a taboo: cloudy days. Don't look at the cloudy day, it's not good.

Pay attention to flowers and trees

Meet waterfalls in the forest and fields in a cloudy world. The central key metering mode frames the whole picture with green plants, reads the numerical value, and then compensates from -2/3 (normal green) to-1.3 (dark green), which is the correct exposure value.

Use your palm.

When you are not sure about exposure value, under the same lighting conditions, stretch out your palm, fill the whole picture or almost the whole picture with your palm, read the data with the central key, and then make some exposure compensation according to the actual effect, that is your exposure data.

People should not be underexposed and the scenery should not be overexposed.

Landscape photography mainly emphasizes the tone level, and has a high tolerance for the overall noise of the picture. Therefore, as long as there is no highlight washing in the early stage, landscape photos with rich levels, bright colors and moderate noise can be obtained through adjustment and modification in the later stage. The metering principle of cameras (digital and various films) is not complicated. The most important thing is to understand what the camera's metering system (or exposure meter) is based on! In layman's terms, it is how the camera "thinks" what it sees when measuring the light of a scene.
