Backlight scenery photography skills

In digital landscape photography, backlight photography is a photography technology with certain shooting difficulty and unique artistic effect. Backlight comes from the back of the scene, and the subject we shoot is often a dark part without direct light, which is not easy to show the light and dark levels and lines of the scene, with large contrast and many changes. Without rich shooting skills and experience, the exposure of the subject will be inaccurate and the unique charm of backlight photography will not be displayed. Therefore, photographers should be able to skillfully use and master the following skills when shooting backlit photographs.

1. The exposure shall be subject to the exposure of the subject, and the rest shall be ignored. If you shoot the sunrise or sunset, you should take the exposure value of the sky or the sun as the main basis.

2. When shooting flowers, plants, people, animals and other scenes with clear outline and transparent texture, we should choose a darker background as the contrast, and use high light as the photometric basis when exposing, so as to create a strong light ratio contrast, strengthen the backlight effect, and achieve the artistic effect of clear outline and prominent subject.

3. When shooting the silhouette effect, the exposure should be based on the bright background brightness.

4. Because the camera is facing the strong light source when shooting in backlight, we should pay attention to the influence of glare. Try using a hood or using hands, hats, cardboard, etc. Stand in front of the camera or adjust the shooting angle to prevent glare. There are two most commonly used backlight shooting effects: one is silhouette effect, and the other is "side light" effect. The following are backlight photos taken at the same time, place and subject matter in different ways, with completely different effects.
