How to use light in photography

1, smooth. The direction of sunlight is exactly the same as the shooting direction of the camera lens, and they are on the same axis. The use of smooth photography is characterized by bright and bright scenery, true colors and few shadows. At the same time, due to the strong light shining on the bumps and textures, the sense of lines is lost and the picture lacks contrast. \x0d\2。 Side light (side light). Side light is projected to the photographed scene at an angle of about 90 degrees from the left or right side with a camera. The characteristic is that one side of the scene receives light, and the side facing the camera lens receives more reflected light. Therefore, the scene receiving light is very bright, and the part receiving reflected light is softer and the light is larger. \x0d\3. Backlight The back light here refers to total back light, which means that the direction of sunlight is on the same axis as that of the camera lens, which is completely opposite, and it is the light projected from the back of the scene and directly projected onto the lens mirror. In this light condition, the overall outline of the scene is clear, and the side facing the camera and the sun is dark, and the picture reaches the maximum contrast. If the exposure is correct, you can get a work with bright picture, strong contrast and obvious stereoscopic effect.
