How to shoot starlight effect?

1, the starlight effect can be achieved by adjusting the aperture with the starlight mirror.

The starlight mirror can make every bright spot in the photo produce a dazzling effect like starlight flashing. The brighter the spot, the more obvious the starlight effect. Street lamps, car lights, water reflection, candlelight and other point light sources will produce very obvious starlight effect.

2. If you want to shoot the starlight effect, just use a small aperture. The size of starlight is affected by the aperture used in shooting: the smaller the aperture, the more obvious the starlight effect, and conversely, the smaller the starlight, the shorter the lines. Generally speaking, at night, when the aperture is F/8 and the shutter speed is adjusted to 5S, you can shoot the starlight effect, or you can use a smaller aperture, such as f/1~ f/22.

Matters needing attention in shooting starlight effect:

1, starlight mirror can really bring dazzling effect. If used well, it can set off the atmosphere of the picture and increase the appeal of the picture. But don't misuse or abuse it. If you don't use it well, it will be a mess. Too much use will give people the same feeling, nothing new. This method is recommended to be tried occasionally and must not be used everywhere.

2. Shooting night scenes often requires a long exposure, and the effect of shooting stars needs to narrow the aperture, which means that the exposure time needs more. At this time, a tripod is what you need! If there is no tripod, try to find a suitable point to support the camera to avoid vibration.
