How to shoot the sunset?

First of all, we must master the best shooting angle and shooting time, and then the problem of equipment.

1, adjust the 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. The theory of white balance and color temperature of the camera sounds a bit complicated, so I won't go into details here, just know the settings.

There is a setting to select the color temperature in the white balance settings of the camera. Based on 5600k, the lower the value, the bluer the film, and the higher the value, the redder the film.

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.

2. Pay attention to the measuring point

When shooting sunset or sunrise, don't measure light directly in front of the sun, which will easily damage the lens and expose the film. You can measure the light according to the sky near the sun.

Photography skills

1, focusing skills for shooting distant small objects

When the object to be photographed is too far away to reach out, you can shoot with the object at the same distance. This method of forced focusing is also very practical.

2. Prevent camera shake

When shooting outdoors, it is best to bring a tripod. If there is no tripod, the photographer can lean against the wall or put his hand on the railing to keep the camera balanced.

3, the role of backlight

Backlight can outline the shape of an object and separate it from the background. Forming bright lines on the edge of the object shape can render the atmosphere to be expressed and enrich and activate the picture.
