How to shoot the night scene? What are the methods?

In essence, it is a kind of low-key photography, in which black is hidden and details are omitted, presenting a vague beauty. Black naturally and skillfully hides the messy scenery, broken buildings and monotonous telephone poles, and is replaced by bright lights, colorful car lights, flashing fishing fires, raging flames, colorful fireworks and sparkling waves. ...

For example, shooting the Great Wall in the dark. Black hides the local details and messy scenery of the Great Wall, and the picture presents a simple and vague beauty. The Great Wall, like a majestic long dragon, is fascinating. The vagueness of details masks ugliness and clutter, making the work more general and leaving associations and aftertaste for the audience.

Darkness at night also has an exaggerated effect. Colorful flame flowers, radiant lights and winding car lights are even more dazzling. Exaggerated the color of the night scene, exaggerated the depth of the space, exaggerated the excitement and noise of the street.

Night photography can use one exposure method or multiple exposures. One exposure is a long exposure using B-gate or T-gate. Multiple exposure is the first exposure when it is not completely dark, and the outline of the scene is taken. Then, when the sky is dark and brightly lit, a second exposure is made. In order to make the picture colorful, it can also be used for the third exposure, shooting the moon, fireworks and so on. The first exposure is very important. Overexposure, the sky will be too bright to lose the atmosphere of the night, underexposure, the sky will be too dark to have a beautiful outline of the scenery. Usually the exposure is 1/3 or 1/4 of the total exposure.

The following are the reference figures for night scene exposure. (ISO 100)

On-site lighting (20-30m) 2-8seconds f/ 8

Colored lights and neon lights (15-30m) 1-6 seconds f/ 8

Moon 1-4 seconds f/5.6

Water reflection 5 5- 10/0second f/5.6

Yanhua gate b f/ 1 1

Night shooting should pay attention to the following items:

① Fix the camera with a tripod, and use a cable release device to prevent hand jitter. Exposure time, exposure times and local exposure can be controlled by the lens cover.

② ISO 100-400 photographic film should be selected. The greater the sensitivity, the greater the tolerance.

(3) Light mirrors, rainbow mirror and constellation mirrors can be added to achieve radiant and colorful effects. Using daylight color film to shoot night lights, the picture is yellow and red, and the atmosphere is more intense. This is because the color temperature of the light source required for solar color film is 5400.

K, and the color temperature of the night light is only 2700 K to 3400K k.

④ When shooting a large scene, the exposure can be calculated according to the brightness of the middle scene, and the foreground can be partially blocked. This can not only prevent the overexposure of the foreground light, but also ensure the full exposure of the middle scene and the back scene. When shooting rainy night scenes and snowy night scenes, the exposure is slightly less than that in dry climate conditions.

Night photography should use a small aperture to obtain a greater depth of field. But if the aperture is too small, the exposure time will be too long.

⑤ Night photography should be good at using the reflection of water, halo and halo in foggy days to enrich the picture. Use a slow shutter to shoot the car lights and boat lights into colored lines.

When shooting stars and the moon, if the exposure time is too long, the stars will turn into some arcs and the moon will drag a halo. The size of the moon can be enlarged with a telephoto lens.
