Using flash skillfully to create shooting effect

Lead: Photographer Xu Yang's shooting style is good at documentary photography, good at grasping light and shadow, and has his own expression of still life shooting, which embodies his unique creative concept in exquisiteness. Let's look at his case experience.

Hong kong central flashing light case sharing. It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's already dark. I like this building. The couple used a flashlight and a self-made beam tube behind them, and added an orange film, facing the top of the arch (angle control is very important), and the output was weak. The wooden board at the door is more eye-catching because of the flashing lights, so the color temperature and local contrast should be adjusted appropriately in the later stage. Form a strong contrast between cold and warm.

Summary: The use of flash is more important than thinking.

This is an alley near Lan Kwai Fong. I like the ambiguous taste in dim light. Guide the couple's emotions into such an atmosphere. At the top of the picture, there is a flashing light with a lamp tube and orange slices, which simulates the light source of street lamps, highlights people and does not destroy the lighting atmosphere of the environment. In the later stage, the contrast should be improved appropriately to simulate the negative impact of Fuji astia positive film. This is a combination of pre-and post-shooting.

Use a flash to control the light.

This ring was taken in September, 20 10. Inspired by the sweet-scented osmanthus in the city. The picture in my mind is the fragrance, the light and the ring, slowly flowing out of the cup. It's blue and white porcelain from China, and it has a title. Shooting technique: combination of three exposures. Teacup, the inside of the teacup (exposed by flashlight for a long time), ring (soft box ensures the integrity of high-light lines of the ring). The angle of the cup is fixed with clay.

A photographer should have a keen observation of natural light. The flickering light is just a sharp weapon in our hands to help us control the light. Ps: The flash has full light output at ten o'clock.

The Application of Flash in the Wedding Follow-up Shooting

On the morning of the wedding, tie the float and decorate the new house. This photo was taken at five o'clock in the morning. There is only the light source of that street lamp at the scene. So, I used the left and right flash (one sixteenth of the output, 9: 30). ), balance the light at the scene and strengthen the texture of the door. Such a picture with a story, if there is no flash, will definitely miss it.

The party was held at the couple's house in the evening, and finally they wanted to set off fireworks in the yard. I wish I could record this moment. Before the fireworks were set off, we looked at the environment, selected the seats of the plane and arranged the position of the flashing lights. The flashing lights are at eleven o'clock and one o'clock respectively. The key point is to control the balance between the exposure of characters and the environment in the picture. Exposure data: sensitivity 2000, aperture f8, speed1/2s.

Application of flash in wedding photos

The dome light can also take pictures of people. This photo was taken in Maldives at noon, when it was the top light. Sketch the characters in the sailboat on the right, so that the light on the characters is in harmony with the overall light perception of the picture.

This photo was taken in Stanley, Hong Kong. The flashlights (three bare lampholders) are parallel to the characters at three o'clock. The application of flash lamp is to simulate sunlight (the figure is in the shade, and the lighting effect is not obvious) to brighten the figure and create a sunny scene atmosphere. Experience in using lamps: The stronger the sunshine, the bolder the use of light efficiency. Be cautious when the spotlight is weak.

Dancing, at midnight Star Ferry Pier. Behind the street lamp on the right, a single sb-900, parallel to the characters, simulates the light of the street lamp, but the actual function of the flashing lamp is to brighten the characters evenly. Shooting with flash is more important than reliable trigger.
