The higher the subject is from the horizon of the picture, the more the shooting angle is.

The higher the subject is from the horizon, the lower the shooting angle.

1. Horizon

Horizon is a geographical concept, which refers to the dividing line between the ground and the sky. More precisely, the direction that people can see is divided into two classification lines: one intersects with the ground and the other does not.

In many places, the real horizon will be covered by trees, buildings, mountains and so on. On the contrary, the horizon is visible. However, if you are on a boat in the sea, you can easily see the real horizon. Historically, the distance between people and the visible horizon is very important, because it represents the farthest distance that human beings can communicate and meet before the transmission of radio waves and the invention of telegrams.

Even today, when the plane flies under the rules of visual flight, the pilot has a skill called visual flight to control the plane, which is to control the plane by using the relationship between the tip of the plane and the horizon. It also performs spatial positioning according to the horizon.

In astronomy, the horizon refers to the ground plane seen by the observer. It is the basic plane of the horizon coordinate system, and the orbit of its upper point has zero horizon latitude. Just like the geometric horizon mentioned above, the horizon in astronomy can be regarded as a plane in space, not a line on the map.

shoot

Shooting is to record images of people and things with cameras and video recorders. Different scenes have different shooting techniques, including night scene shooting, rain scene shooting, building shooting, portrait shooting and so on. Film dynamic art shooting is also a kind of shooting, but it must follow certain principles. With the progress of science and technology, shooting has become more and more simple and popular.

Shooting night scenes mainly refers to the scenery under outdoor lighting or natural light at night. When shooting, lights, firelight, moonlight, neon lights and shuttle cars on the street are the main light sources.

When shooting, we must first keep the atmosphere at night and the authenticity of the lighting. We should use tripods, cable release and other accessories, and use one or more exposure forms. When shooting a clear scene, the aperture should be smaller, and the shutter should be placed on the B door or the T door to expose according to the brightness of the light.
