Problems needing attention in backlight shooting

1, bright background reduces fill light.

By measuring the bright background without filling the foreground, a strong contour effect can be obtained and the atmosphere can be well rendered.

2, use tools to fill the light properly

More details can be obtained by properly filling the foreground with reflector or flash.

3, fine-tuning the lens

Pay attention to the composition when the lens has serious halo, and adjust the lens position slightly to avoid the halo covering the subject.

4. Focus adjustment

Backlight shooting will affect the accuracy of autofocus, and you can focus accurately by manual method.

5. Protect your eyesight

Avoid looking directly at the sun through the viewfinder for a long time, causing visual damage.

Time selection

1, sunrise and sunset

The angle between the light and the ground is small (about 0-30), and the intensity is weak, which is very beneficial to backlight shooting, especially when shooting short objects. Low color temperature can better contrast the atmosphere and artistic conception, and make the work form a warm tone.

2. Two hours after sunrise and before sunset.

At this time, the sunlight forms an angle of about 30-80 with the ground. If the weather is normal and the light is strong, backlight shooting will encounter strong halo, which is not conducive to expressing the shape of things. We should try to avoid shooting directly in front of the light source. Shooting with reflected beams from other objects will weaken the light intensity.

3. At noon

At this time, the light is basically perpendicular to the ground, and the light is very strong, which is extremely unfavorable to backlight. You can use the foreground or the subject as your own shelter, so that the sun can form a strong radiation effect.
