Take good photos with touching light.

Lead:? Light? Is it the most beautiful subject, another name for light? Shadow? There is also color, and I will teach you how to take good photos with light. Interested friends learn quickly!

Suggestions on taking good photos with touching light;

1. Pay attention to the exposure effect when mixing light and shadow.

2. Reducing exposure compensation can deepen the shadow effect.

3. Simply arrange light, shadow and color to enhance the visual effect.

The state before shooting

Photographic composition: when shooting, wait for the moment when the crowd passes through the dark part of the outer wall.

Photography parameters: Av mode, 35mm lens, aperture f/6.3, shutter speed11250s, ISO 200, exposure compensation -0.3. When shooting around 5 pm, it is easy to cause underexposure, so it is best to confirm the exposure effect of each photo through LCD.

Shooting point: only colors, light and shadows are captured in the picture. The subject doesn't have to occupy the whole picture. Sometimes good works can be made by using light, shadow and color.

Seoul City Hall

This photo was taken near Seoul City Hall. On this afternoon, shallow light and warm colors outlined a beautiful and vivid picture on the outer wall of a building under construction. I waited a few minutes before someone passed by. As it happens, a man hobbled past with his head held high, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery on the outer wall. This photo has a fantastic effect, as if he turned into a shadow and walked into the picture, but disappeared into reality.

Good light, the light that illuminates the world.

Good photos come from good light. Don't blindly look for themes, but look for good light, which is one of the effective ways to shoot good works.

Av mode 85mm lens f/9,1100s ISO 800, exposure compensation -0.7 shooting around 4 pm.

Don't always chase after the big light, you can pay attention to the small light that shines silently on the small things. The faint light illuminates the darkness, the insignificant existence, the most ordinary things in the world, and turns them into protagonists worth thinking about.

Finding and shooting ordinary things can actually move people. We live in the same place and breathe the same air. However, there are still many ordinary things that have not been discovered, because the magic of light can make it look brand-new.

Thailand

Av mode 28mm lens f/3.5, 1/320s ISO 200, exposure compensation -0.3 was shot at around 8 am.

People are emotional animals, and light also has various emotional worlds. Bright light, shabby light, warm light, thick and turbid light, etc. The state of the atmosphere and the photographer's mood will affect the impression of light. The texture of light will change with the exposure of the camera. After reducing exposure compensation, the contrast of light will be stronger, and after increasing exposure compensation, light will become transparent and clear.

Only those who find good light, think and chase it can take good photos. What's the photo? Observe light, find light, think about light? Result.

Shoot the blue sky against the light

The girl under the blue sky, riding a red bike, is flying by the river!

Suggestion:

1, because it is sunny, you can choose a faster shutter speed, which can narrow the aperture and reduce the ISO value.

2. Shoot the blue sky with your back to the sun.

In order to shoot the blue sky, we must choose the shooting time and weather.

The state before shooting

Photographic composition: observing the road on the hillside, waiting for someone to approach, took this photo.

Photography parameters: Av mode, 28mm lens, aperture f/7, shutter speed 1/400s, ISO 100, shooting around 5 pm. When the light is good, the shutter speed can also go up, so it is necessary to narrow the aperture and reduce the ISO value.

Key points: I took this photo with my back to the sun. The sky with its back to the sun will look bluer. But the more important factor is the time period. Two hours after the sun takes off and two hours before sunset is the best time to shoot the blue sky.

Seoul Hanjiang river

It is rare to see such a blue sky in Seoul. After the thunderstorm in summer, all the dust in the atmosphere was washed away, and the clear and bright blue sky appeared in front of us, and this empty scene combined with the prosperity of the city showed an extremely spectacular scene. Although the blue sky is a beautiful scenery, the intersection of white clouds and girls riding red bicycles makes people feel the tranquility and happiness of daily life.

If you want to shoot the blue sky, please choose the weather and time.

What do novices ask the most? How to shoot the blue sky? . Of course, the blue sky should be filmed on the day when the blue sky appears. But there is another important factor, and that is the shooting time. The height of the sun changes with time. The time when the sun is in the highest position, that is, the time when the sun hangs overhead, is around noon 12 or afternoon 1, and it is almost impossible to photograph the blue sky at this time. In order to shoot the blue sky, the following items must be confirmed first.

Seoul ruyi island

Av mode 28mm lens f/8,1100siso100, shooting around 2 pm.

1, first observe the color of the sky to see if the sky is blue visually.

2. The shooting time is within 2 ~ 3 hours after the sun takes off or 2 ~ 3 hours before sunset.

3. It is best to shoot the blue sky in light (shooting with your back to the sun).

4. If the sky in the picture looks old, check if there is anything wrong with the white balance.

Seoul Hanjiang river

Av mode 28mm lens F/8, 1/640s ISO 100, shot around 4 pm.

5. Whether the subject is backlit or not, and whether the subject is much darker than the sky.

6, reduce the exposure compensation, you can shoot a bluer sky.

7. Did you shoot a wider sky with a wide-angle lens?

8. To make the sky look bluer, you can use CPL or PL lens.

Why is the sky blue? Visible light? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple? In the process of passing through the atmosphere, it collides with oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor and dust, and then it is distributed in all directions. This phenomenon is called scattering. At this time, purple or blue with shorter wavelength has better scattering effect, so we can see blue light. What is one of the rules for shooting blue sky? Turn your back on the sun? . When we shoot the sky, we should look at the farthest sky. The color temperature of the sky farthest from the sun will be the highest and bluest, because the farther the sky is from the sun, the less likely it is to scatter light with red and yellow wavelengths.

Long exposure mode for increasing light quantity

Turn waves of bubbles into fairy fog in dreams.

Suggestion:

1, tripod is a necessity for long exposure.

2. When shooting in long exposure mode, the shutter speed will slow down due to the decrease of aperture.

3. First measure the exposure value in Av mode, then turn to M mode, and set the exposure value to realize long exposure.

4. Use self-timer mode or cable release to prevent the blurred image from being affected by waves or wind.

The state before shooting

Photographic composition: the tripod is fixed on the beach and takes pictures in the direction of the sea.

Photography parameters: M mode, 20mm lens, aperture f/22, shutter speed 20s, ISO 100, shooting around 7 pm.

Long exposure and shooting time are also very important. I took this photo at sunset. If you shoot such a scene during the day, you can use ND filter to control the exposure effect.

Shooting points: long exposure, using tripod and M mode. Fix the tripod with sand so that it won't be washed away by the waves.

Zhongnan Taian

In summer, I exposed the sea for a long time in the coastal sand dunes in Xintouli, Tai 'an. Unlike the huge waves in the East China Sea, the West Sea is a beach of waves, like a woman's long hair. In order to show the soft wave effect, a tripod was fixed on the sand dune and exposed for 20 seconds. Due to long exposure, the shape of the sea is blurred, but the sea has become a mist, like a fairyland in a dream.

Superposition of light and superposition of time.

For the object you want to see, people's eyes focus in time, but they can't increase time and light when they see him. But the long exposure mode of the camera describes the real scene that we can't see by increasing time and light.

Long exposure is mostly used to take landscape photos, but in the early days of photography, film was exposed for a long time, so long exposure was also used to take portraits. At this time, the photographer will tell the model not to blink, not to move, or even to keep it for a few minutes for a long time, so some portrait photos taken in the past have a strong surreal feeling.

M-type 70-200mm lens f/22, 15s, ISO 100 shooting around 7 pm.

You need to equip yourself with a tripod and a good quality cable releaser for long exposure. In addition, we need to know more or less about the exposure, but since we are all using digital cameras recently, we can roughly determine the exposure value in Av mode, then rotate to M mode, set the exposure value, adjust the aperture and shutter speed, and then shoot formally. Of course, you can also use ND filter to further extend the exposure time.

M-type 70-200mm lens f/ 1 1, 30s, ISO 400 shooting around 8 pm.

Long exposure mode is the superposition of time and light, but the effect is not obvious when shooting static objects. When taking a landscape photo, in order to use the long exposure mode, we must first find a static landscape and the shooting object, and then add a dynamic effect on the opposite side of the static object. Therefore, photographers first travel around the country to collect good scenery, then chase the shocking and touching weather elements such as clouds, winds, waves and storms, and then construct images through long-term exposure.

In order to achieve long-term exposure, you need to know about related accessories and master photography technology. But the most important thing is to visit, prepare, wait and be patient.
