Lead: It is necessary to set various applicable parameters for night scene shooting, otherwise some lighting scenes will be difficult to shoot. How to use filters in night shooting? Come and have a look with me!

How to use the filter 1 Starlight shot in night shooting.

The filters of Gaojian series 055, 056, 058 and 059 can form different starlight effects. In addition, some other filters can also be used for night photography, such as the REF059 soft cross mirror built by Gao Jian.

2. Soft lens

Soft lens was originally suitable for shooting scenes with certain contrast between background and subject, so it also played a certain role in shooting night scenes. After adding a soft lens, the boundary between light and dark in the night scene or bright subjects can be diffused into the night sky, which is quite strange.

3. Overspeed mirror

For example, the 2 17 overspeed mirror of Gaojian series has a rising feeling, and the image is half bright and half dark, elongated, as if it were a fast-moving object. What if it will? Speeding? If this part is placed at the bottom of the scene, there will be an effect that the upper part is clear and the lower building rises upward in the night sky.

4. rainbow mirror

Generally, rainbow mirror is suitable for shooting the content of strong point light source in the picture. The concrete effect is that there is a bright spot in the middle, surrounded by rainbow-like light. But it should be used according to the actual situation of the picture, so as to avoid abuse and painting a tiger into a dog.

5. Polyprism

The main function of prism is to refract a simple object, so that several identical objects appear in the picture, just like looking at the scenery from a kaleidoscope. But the filter also has its shortcomings, that is, the imaging quality is poor and the picture is easy to be confused.

6. The role of polarizer

Polarizers are used to eliminate polarized light, so as to improve the color saturation in the picture and eliminate the reflection of non-buildings. When shooting at night, the scene light can be obviously dimmed, so that the photographer can choose a lower shutter speed. By extending the shutter speed, the exposure time can be increased, so that the film has enough exposure time to move the headlights, forming a stripe effect, and at the same time eliminating some bad reflections on the glass.

7. Gradient mirror

The gradient mirror is half colored and half colorless. Gradient mirrors are mainly used to adjust the contrast between the upper and lower parts of the scene. When shooting night scenes, if it is still early and the sky brightness is too high, you can darken the sky with the help of a neutral gray gradient mirror. When the sky is getting dark, you can change the color of the sky with gradient mirrors of other colors, and so on.
