Photography skills in rainy and foggy days

Lead: Recently, children's shoes in the south are estimated to be driven crazy by Mei Yutian and Huannantian. All kinds of walls and floors are wet, and friends who drive also have trouble with extremely low visibility. Once a year, such a climate season makes people love and hate. Why can such weather make people? Love is because you never imagined that you could take very beautiful photos in rainy and foggy days. So, what are the skills and precautions for shooting in rainy and foggy days? At this time, if you don't want the camera to stay where it is waiting for mildew, let it move!

Photography skills in rainy and foggy days are the same as those in landscape photography. Before shooting, the author still suggests using high-tolerance SLR or mirrorless cameras, as well as wide-angle or even ultra-wide-angle lenses for equipment shooting. Many students may say that no matter what the weather is, just press the shutter and you can play the film. I don't deny that the intelligence of the camera is quite high now, but do you want to shoot it? Feeling? It is not easy to take a good photo in rainy and foggy days by pressing the shutter. The first thing to pay attention to is the focus. In fact, this not only tests the photographer's focusing method, but also tests the accuracy of the camera's own focusing system. The photo of rainy and foggy weather has a special feeling because its own hazy effect makes everything look like a fairyland. But if the fog is too heavy, the contrast of the picture is very low, which makes the camera's focusing system appear? Pull the bellows? In this case, at this time, we will focus manually, and just hit the focus ring of the camera lens? Location.

However, not all lenses have a focus window, and not all lenses have an infinite focal length. Is it helpless? No, when we focus manually, we can see whether the auxiliary focus is activated in the viewfinder, and we can still find a clear focus by slightly twisting the focus ring. If you always feel that you still rely on autofocus, you might as well take a picture first and use LCD to enlarge 100% to see how it feels. If it is clear, hit AF to MF without moving the focus ring, and then try to adjust the parameters to make the rain and fog feel the best for you.

Although landscape photography in rainy and foggy days will still follow the principle of the best use of aperture in landscape photography, sometimes for standard lenses, too low aperture value will make the shutter fail to keep up, resulting in blurred photos. Too much light in a large aperture will make the photo lose its layering, so f/ 1 1 will be a better choice, but f/22 or lower is not recommended, because the definition of the photo will be reduced and the shutter will be slower. When you really encounter such a situation, please bring your tripod! This is also the purity brought by the low sensitivity of ISO 100.

On the contrary, the choice of scenic spots in rainy and foggy days is the decisive factor in my opinion. When the rainy and foggy days come, do you choose to shoot in the urban area or go further to shoot in a place with mountains and water? Although each other's landscape photography has its own characteristics, the author still prefers to shoot in Yousen. Conghua, Guangzhou is one of the most wonderful places I have ever met.

Regarding the composition of scenery photography in rainy and foggy days, the author advocates simplicity as beauty, for example, there is a lonely boat on the vast lake. Where there is water, there will be reflections, which can create overlapping aesthetic feeling and should be used more. Or when you find a place with dilapidated houses and abandoned bicycles. These are actually not difficult to find. As long as you don't hate trouble, you can travel to the country. In addition, weak light not only affects your shutter, but also affects the judgment of automatic white balance of the machine. In rainy and foggy days, I like to set the white balance. Cloudy day? .

In fact, most of the time, you will find that the scenery photography in rainy and foggy days under one exposure can not satisfy your admiration for the beauty of the environment at that time. The author also has a more interesting shooting method to tell you, that is, dynamic range surround. With this function, you can take three photos with different tolerance at a time, and you will find that the effects of the three photos are slightly different, that is, their low-light details are different. This will give you more creative space in the future, and you won't miss the subtle effect brought by a rare moment of light preservation in a shooting (if you are lucky enough to see the sunshine for a few seconds through the clouds, these few seconds of shooting will become extremely precious moments).
