Shooting skills at sunset and dusk

Lead: What are the skills of shooting at sunset and dusk? How can I shoot a spectacular sunset? Come and have a look with me!

Step 1. Arrive at the scene in advance

Finding the best shooting position is the basic condition for taking good photos. It is very important to confirm whether the shooting position is spacious enough in advance. If the place is too small, you may need to arrive at the scene in advance to avoid turning into a corner. If it is a popular scenic spot, the sooner you arrive at the scene, the better.

Some shooting positions are relatively narrow, so latecomers should respect the first one, and the first one should have a reasonable position to avoid disputes. Why not take good care of your friends? In public places, if tourists break into the photography area, please move away or persuade them in good faith to avoid damaging the photographer's image and being disgusted. If the composition of tourists is decorated as a mirror, there will be good works.

Step two. Set the appropriate ISO value.

The lower the ISO value, the better the image quality, but the relative exposure time will be longer. If there are no special requirements, it is recommended to set it to ISO 100.

Step three. Turn off NR function.

NR is the "denoising" function of the camera. Generally speaking, I suggest turning off NR when shooting, because when turning on NR, if the exposure is 10 minute, it will take the camera another 10 minute to remove noise. At this time, the camera can't do any shooting at all, and it can only miss the opportunity to shoot beautiful scenery. In addition, with the progress of science and technology, the noise phenomenon caused by long-term exposure of cameras has been improved. Maybe the future model design will be more advanced!

Step four. Turn off the hand shock prevention function.

The hand-shock-proof function is only suitable for hand-held camera shooting, but if you don't turn off the hand-shock-proof function when using tripod with long exposure shooting, it will have the opposite effect.

Step five. Shoot in manual (M) mode.

In order to get the best shooting effect, it is suggested to set the aperture value between F8F22 and shoot with B shutter, cable player and tripod.

Step six. Make sure the lens is in focus.

It is recommended to switch to manual focusing (MF) and focus at infinity, but some lenses need to be turned back to focus. It is recommended to test your own lenses first.

Step seven. Composition test

After all, morning photography belongs to the environment of Gao Fancha. It is suggested that the composition test should be conducted in the way of blind shot based on the principle of underexposure, so as not to waste precious time when shooting is officially started. Of course, you only need blind shot to shoot the sunrise, and you can shoot it directly at sunset.
