Red night scene photography HD

How to set the M-file parameters of the camera to take a high-definition night scene? If you want to take a high-definition picture of the night scene, shooting at low sensitivity is the most basic condition, so that the picture is not so manic. In addition, you need to focus clearly with a tripod.

Low sensitivity, slow door, tripod is needed to meet the above conditions. Generally, most of the night scenes are taken with M files, which makes the exposure more convenient and accurate.

But how to set the M file in actual shooting to accurately expose it? If we set the sensitivity, take ISo 100 as an example.

If you have an exposure meter, you can accurately measure the ambient light, then increase or decrease the exposure data measured by the exposure meter to take a few photos, and then choose a photo that is most suitable for the exposure group. Of course, we don't have an exposure meter in most cases, and we won't have an exposure meter for saving money and convenience. Then we rely on the photometric system inside the camera to measure the light. Nowadays, digital devices basically have built-in metering systems.

To evaluate the metering mode or central key metering, first determine the exposure aperture at M, generally set the aperture to F5.6-8, and then determine the exposure time according to the internal metering system of the camera. In the viewfinder, we can see the cursor moving below. When it moves to the middle 0 position, that is, the exposure measured by the phase metering system is just right. But this is not our final exposure combination. If there are few bright areas in the picture, the value of 1/3-2/3EV should be reduced accordingly. If there are many bright areas in the picture, increase the value of 1/3-2/3EV accordingly. The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the bright part is not too bright and the dark part is not too dark, so that the whole picture can transition naturally.

Finally, I want to tell my friends that shooting with manual M, whether shooting at night or other, is the greatest pleasure of photography, so that you can master it skillfully and accumulate experience by shooting more.

Hello, it's my pleasure to answer this question. It takes many factors to shoot an ideal high-definition night scene. I give you the following advice.

Before defining the setting of M-range parameters, we should first understand the influence of aperture on imaging. In daily shooting, we all know that the larger the aperture, the more light enters, and the greater the blur of the photo outside the focus. On the contrary, the smaller the aperture, the less light enters and the more details are recorded in the photo. Knowing this principle, we should know that if we want to take high-definition night photos, we should try to use a small aperture and record more details.

Then there is sensitivity. We all know that the higher the ISO value, the more noise, so the lower the opening sensitivity, the better, such as 100.

When the aperture is reduced, the exposure time will increase. When the light is too bright at night, increase the shutter speed by one or two steps to reduce the amount of light entering. It is best to shoot in RAW format, which is also convenient for later computer adjustment.

I won't introduce many other shooting techniques, and I believe you can master them.

Let's talk about two necessary equipment for shooting night scenes:

1, tripod night shooting mostly requires long exposure, and hand-held cameras will definitely shake, leading to blurred photos, so the camera must be placed on a stable tripod to shoot, so as to ensure the quality of photos.

2, wired release or wireless shutter just put the camera on the tripod is not enough, when shooting, the moment you press the shutter, it will also cause the camera to shake. Therefore, the camera vibration can be effectively reduced by taking the cable release and controlling the shutter with the cable release.

In fact, it is very simple for the camera to take a good night view. You only need to press the following methods to get an efficient and high-quality photo 1, and ensure that the weather before shooting is absolutely good. No smog is necessary, otherwise the innate conditions are not available.

2. In order to ensure the stability of the camera, a tripod must be used.

3. Choose to shoot ten minutes before sunset and sunrise. This time is very important to determine the quality of photos.

4. Turn the camera to M, use the ISO 100 of F8- 16, and automatically white balance and aperture.

5. The exposure caliper should be in the center as far as possible, which is the core key to prevent overexposure.

6, focus should be manual, accurate focus do not use autofocus.

7. Press the shutter

To take high-definition night photos, whether using M file or aperture priority file, we should first choose the night with good air transparency, use a tripod to fix the camera, and make detailed settings for the camera.

The tripod mainly plays a stabilizing role, and the tripod and the tripod head must match the focal length of the lens. Generally, a tripod is required for shutter speeds above 1/30. In the case of long exposure, it is unrealistic to shoot a slow shutter for a few seconds or even dozens of seconds by hand.

ISO sensitivity ISO is the sensitivity to light. The higher the value, the higher the sensitivity. The larger the ISO value, the more noise. Since the shooting is done on the shelf, the ISO value should be set to the lowest.

Attention! Some cameras have ISO values below 100 (such as 50, 64, 80), and these values will be extended. In the area less than ISO 100, the brightness range (dynamic range) of the subject will be slightly narrowed. Therefore, do not use an ISO value below 100 unless absolutely necessary.

Long exposure noise reduction When the shutter speed is set to 1 sec or more (long exposure), noise reduction will be performed with a length equal to the shutter opening time. The original intention of the design is to reduce the obvious particle noise during long-term exposure.

However, long-time exposure noise reduction is an algorithm for internal noise reduction, so it will definitely affect the image quality and the processing time is too long. The general advice is to turn it off.

Manual focusing and autofocus of peak camera are much faster than rotating the focus ring after naked eye observation. You can use the LCD screen to enlarge the image and check the clarity of the image.

Under normal circumstances, manual focusing is not recommended, but it can be used when autofocus is difficult to focus at night. It is recommended to turn on the peak display.

Highlight the focused part (peak)

In manual focus shooting, highlight the outline of the focus part with the specified color. It is more convenient for shooting that needs fine focus. And the level and color of the peak can be set.

Generally speaking, the best aperture is F8-F 1 1. If the aperture lens is too small, it is easy to diffract, which will also reduce the picture definition and affect the image quality. But sometimes, in order to get the star-studded effect in the night scene, it is necessary to choose a small aperture (F 16-F22) for shooting.

The exposure value measured by the camera multiplied by 10 can be used for night light shooting, which can generally meet the shooting requirements. If it is necessary to shoot the optical track, the exposure value at this time will not meet the requirements, and the exposure time can be gradually increased based on this value. In the actual shooting process, you need to shoot several times more to get satisfactory results.

The direction of the shooting track should be consistent with the moving direction of the light source.

Focus free point: focus on a very small topic or narrow area.

Middle: always put the focus area in the middle part. It is recommended to use intermediate focus when shooting scenery unless you want to highlight a subject.

With the sensitivity, tolerance and anti-shake function of the camera itself and the lens, the new camera in recent years can get good pictures when shooting outdoors (except at night). Generally, the sensitivity is set within 200. If the target is moving, the speed should keep up, and the aperture should be larger at this time. If the target is stationary, the speed can be slower and the aperture can be smaller to reduce the amount of light entering and ensure the level of detail and depth of field of the picture. When the background blur effect is needed, the maximum aperture is undoubtedly (portrait, flowers, etc. )

This is divided into two situations: shooting scenes and shooting people. There is a tripod in the shooting scene and a flash in the shooting person.

1. There is a tripod setting for shooting night scenes.

2. Settings for shooting night scenes with hand-held cameras.

3. There is no flash setting for portrait shooting.

4. There is a setting for taking portraits with a flash.

The above is my personal view on night shooting. Welcome to point out the shortcomings and discuss them.

Let's share some experiences of shooting scenery with m-block door, hoping to help you.

It's very common for m to block the slow door to take pictures of the scenery. We use it to shoot water or night scenes. The prerequisite for night shooting is that you should do it well in advance, and then arrive at the shooting location in advance to set up a tripod. M block slow door shooting, you must use a tripod and release the cable. It is not advisable to release the cable whether it is held or not.

Second, take a few photos before the official shooting, just to see the composition, angle, exposure and other issues in time. Long exposure without exposure meter is really important, which can solve the problem of adjusting exposure and composition when shooting.

Third, be fully prepared. Equipment, cameras, tripods, pay-offs, batteries, cards, etc. Should be prepared. The shooting point should be 2-3 times in advance, and you can change the point or angle when shooting well, so that more works can be produced.

The following are some night scenes of M-block slow doors that I took for your reference.

Whether to use M-file is another matter. Let's talk about the basic equipment for shooting night scenes: of course, it is a camera that can be exposed manually. General SLR (micro-single) has such a function, and then there is the tripod. Actually, a tripod is very important. If the economy permits, buy the most expensive tripod and tripod head, because I bought seven or eight tripods back and forth. If you can buy Gitzo, you can do it in one step. Then release it by cable. If not, you can only use the camera's own function. If you want a more distinctive night scene, you can buy CPL, starlight glasses and so on.

The lens is preferably between 24 mm and 35 mm.

Still life shooting requirements, you must use a tripod, cable, sensitivity of about 400, large aperture, slow door, set according to the needs of normal exposure! Dynamic shooting, shutter priority, first ensure that the speed is above 125, and take clear photos. Other parameters: large aperture, high sensitivity, exposure compensation!

Mainly depends on the weather.
