Photography skills of cloud shooting

1, shoot a sea of clouds with a proper exposure. When shooting this thick cloud, properly reducing some exposure compensation can reduce the brightness of the sky and the cloud, get a better sense of layering, increase the volume and thickness of the cloud, and make the scenery in the picture more colorful. Sunrise or sunset in the sea of clouds is a rare and difficult scene in natural scenery photography. The sun on the horizon provides an ideal low-angle backlight for shooting the sea of clouds, and the reflected sunlight outlines a beautiful golden edge for the sea of clouds. Against the backdrop of golden clouds and waves, the red sun Ran Ran rises or sinks slowly, which is very spectacular.

2. The shocking momentum of the sea of clouds. The use of the medium gray gradient filter makes the sunset scene in the sea of clouds rich in layers, full of colors and magnificent. The sunlight at the horizon renders some clouds of sea warm, while the sky and clouds of sea in other places are cool. The contrast between cold and warm colors is strong, which increases the sense of space and perspective of the picture and highlights the main body of the sunset.

3. shoot after sunset. Even if the sun is completely below the horizon, don't leave the shooting scene in a hurry. For example, in this work, the sky is dyed warm yellow by the sunset, while the area above the horizon is cool blue because it is not illuminated by the sun, which makes the picture divided by the skyline, forming a sharp color contrast, and the picture has a great visual impact effect.

4. cloudy air. Shooting a cloudy sky with a low horizontal line composition, a large area of thick clouds gives people a very depressing feeling. Adding ground scenery can appropriately alleviate the feeling of being too dull and highlight the momentum of clouds.
