Teach you how to shoot sunrise and sunset.

Morning glow and sunset glow are the most beautiful natural scenery. When the sun rises from Ran Ran on the eastern horizon and immediately sinks below the horizon, the clouds in the sky will be illuminated by low-angle weak light, thus producing colorful glow in the sky, which is the reason for the formation of morning glow and sunset glow. When shooting the morning glow and the evening glow, you should master the following points.

Seize the opportunity to shoot

You should choose a sunny morning to shoot the morning glow. The sun has just risen from the horizon, and it is best when it turns from red to white. The shooting time is too early, the sky is not too bright, the morning glow is not clear enough, the shooting time is too late, the sunshine intensity is too strong, and the direct sunlight enters the lens, which is easy to produce halo phenomenon and the clouds cannot be fully expressed. Shooting sunset glow should be finished at 10. Sunset speed in the west is generally slow, so you can have enough time to choose scenery and composition when shooting.

exposure control

Shooting the morning glow and the evening glow is usually based on the part of the sky with moderate brightness, which makes the foreground underexposed and the picture is silhouette-like. Of course, sometimes the foreground can have a certain brightness. At this time, the exposure should not be based on the part with moderate brightness in the sky, but on the average brightness value of the foreground, so that the exposure of Xia Yun is slightly overexposed, because the levels of sunrise and sunset are quite rich, even if it is slightly overexposed, it still has a good shading effect.

composition

When shooting a scene, you should choose expressive scenery and clouds to form a perfect and rich picture. It is necessary to select and refine the scenery and lines, light and shade, colors and levels that match the sunrise or sunset among many complicated scenes, so as to make the picture more poetic and give the audience beautiful artistic enjoyment.
