Photography water surface shooting skills

1, shooting Mirror Lake, the calmer the water surface, the more prominent the reflection. So we have to shoot in the water for a short time. When the wind or ships pass by, ripples will appear on the water surface, which greatly reduces the chance of taking a clear reflection.

2. The best shooting time is when the scene is in front light or side light. This means that the reflective surface is most obvious when the sun shines on the front or side of the scene. At this time, if it is calm, the chances of taking a beautiful reflection will greatly increase.

High-speed shutter and slow door will always give you more.

3, water, except for a small puddle, either flows or has waves, and some may be very impactful. Few people are still alive. Then there is the moving element, and the possibility of controlling shutter shooting can be considered.

There is one more thing to pay attention to when shooting water reflection: the problem of photo deformation. Especially when using a wide-angle lens, the cylindrical deformation of the photo will be more intense. We can use a non-wide-angle lens or post-correction, so that the work will be more professional.
