What is the best setting for shooting night scenes with SLR cameras?

1: When shooting at night, use a tripod, and then use a wide-angle end.

2. For portraits, the above conditions are all suitable, but it is more difficult to shoot, and it is necessary to get close to or away from the subject according to the brightness of the light.

3. Use portrait shooting mode in special scenes, and the specific setting method is similar to hand-held night scenes.

Night view effect 1: star awning effect?

1. The first thing you want to do is to find a suitable shooting scene. For urban night scenes, point light sources, such as the most common street lamps, are easy to appear. You can find a suitable scene on the roadside at night.

2. Use the A gear of the camera, and adjust the aperture of the camera above F8 under the condition of ensuring the safety shutter, which is the key to the starlight shining effect (small aperture). If the light is really insufficient, we can only increase the ISO sensitivity appropriately. Generally, the ISO of digital SLR in DX format is recommended not to exceed 1000, otherwise the image purity will be reduced.

3. Finally, start writing. Put the point light source in the picture into the viewfinder, hold the camera (or fix the tripod) and press the shutter to get a beautiful photo of Starlight Glimmer.

Night scene effect 2: out-of-focus effect?

1, the first step of out-of-focus effect is the same as the requirement of shooting star-awn effect, that is, you need to find a suitable circular point light source in the dark. Slightly different, the point light source with out-of-focus effect had better have bright colors, so the effect is better.

2. The second and most important step is to switch the focus mode of the camera lens to MF or AF/MF mode, because out-of-focus is a hazy beauty effect caused by deliberately leaving the focus outside the subject, and the camera itself cannot be completed without manual focus.

3. Turn the lens focus ring to the longest focus end, and manually adjust the lens focus ring until you can see your favorite out-of-focus effect in the viewfinder. The choice of aperture is more arbitrary. Generally speaking, a small aperture can not only produce a star-like effect but also be out of focus, which is very good.
