How to shoot the night scene

Shooting is as follows:

1, select the appropriate photographic equipment.

Because night scenes and dawn scenes belong to low light sources, if you want to take a long exposure shot, you must first prepare a stable tripod, otherwise it is easy to take a blurred image; As for the choice of pan-tilt collocation, it is suggested that spherical pan-tilt collocation is better, because spherical pan-tilt is not only convenient for photographers to control quickly, but also helpful for composition control. Of course, some micro-singles are now equipped with 5-axis body anti-shake, which can compensate the shutter speed of 5-8 gears. However, if the exposure time exceeds110s, it is recommended to install a tripod directly.

2, make good use of manual function

Because night scenes and twilight scenes belong to low light sources and Gao Fancha scenes, if you shoot with autofocus AF, you will often lose focus. At this time, you must switch to manual MF mode in time to overcome the problem of not being able to focus.

The manual focus control mode is quite simple. Photographers only need to switch MF mode, aim the lens at infinity, and then turn the focus ring back a little bit to achieve the purpose of focusing. If people feel uneasy, it is suggested that Shoot can take a photo first, and then use the camera magnification function to watch it locally, so as to avoid the problem of out-of-focus image.

3. Select the appropriate exposure mode according to the subject.

When shooting at night, you must use the exposure mode correctly according to the shooting target in order to shoot the ideal image in your mind. Generally speaking, if you just want to take some photos at night as a souvenir, you can use automatic or P file. However, if you want to take a charming image with hazy aesthetic feeling, you'd better use aperture priority (AV), shutter priority (TV) or manual exposure mode (M), because manual control can make the image effect more different.

Selection of night scene shooting mode of mobile phone

1, professional mode

If your phone doesn't have night view mode, you can also shoot in professional mode. The so-called professional mode is a shooting mode in which parameters such as shutter speed and sensitivity (ISO) can be manually adjusted.

There is no fixed mode for the adjustment of specific parameters. Generally speaking, the sensitivity is adjusted within 100, and the shutter speed can be adjusted according to the light intensity of the field of view. For example, you can set 10 second to take pictures first, and then further adjust according to the exposure effect. You can find the right combination of parameters by taking two or three photos.

2. Original format

RAW is the abbreviation of English, which means: raw materials are unprocessed, which refers to the original data in the field of photography. Because the RAW format is the original file, compared with ordinary JPG format photos, the RAW format can restore more details in post-processing. If you have a certain retouching ability, I suggest you shoot in RAW format.
