How to film The Moon Rises?

Sunrise and sunset are one of the favorite subjects for amateur photographers to shoot landscapes. This is not only the beauty of the red sun itself, but also the ever-changing morning halo and sunset glow, which constitute a particularly magnificent scenery. There are many similarities and some differences in shooting sunrise and sunset.

(1) When the sun is close to the horizon, the sun is the main body, and the sunrise and sunset are shot directly against the sun to show the red sun and rosy clouds. So use color films. If you shoot a reverse film, you should use the daylight type, because the color temperature of this photosensitive film is about 5600 degrees K. If you shoot a red sun with a low color temperature, it will appear reddish, which just exaggerates the theme.

(2) Because this kind of photos are mainly aimed at the red sun, the exposure should not be based on the brightness of the ground scenery, but should be measured directly against the sun. However, if the directly measured light value is used for exposure, the ground scenery will appear too dark and the night scene effect will appear, so it is necessary to appropriately increase the first and second exposure. In this way, the ground scenery can be brighter without affecting the color of the sun. If you shoot with an automatic exposure camera, you can lower the camera sensitivity indicator scale by one or two levels according to the installed hand penetration. If you use ISO 100/2 1 degree photographic film, you can adjust the scale to ISO 50/ 18 degree or ISO 25/ 15 degree and shoot directly. It's best to take more photos with different exposures to choose from, so as not to lose the opportunity.

(3) Shooting the sunrise and sunset should be done within the time when the human eye directly watches the sun and does not feel stinging. Otherwise, it is easy to form halo on the photosensitive film because of too strong sunlight, which will affect the shooting effect.

(4) The duration of sunrise and sunset is very short, especially the sunrise. The sun appears on the horizon, and in a few minutes it will rise very high and give off strong light, so it is impossible to shoot. Only when the sun just appears on the horizon will it produce a beautiful morning glow. As soon as the sun left the horizon, the morning glow disappeared. Therefore, to shoot the sunrise, we should choose the shooting point in advance and shoot it later. When shooting, move as fast as possible and take as many pictures as possible.

(5) When people watch the sunrise and sunset, they always feel that the sun is particularly big, but they feel particularly small when photographed. Therefore, if possible, it is best to use a long focal length lens. Every time the focal length is doubled, the sun will be doubled.
