Complete works of night photography skills

1, shutter control: when shooting at night, the shutter is generally long, one is to meet the exposure requirements, and the other is to meet the needs of the effect. When shooting at night, due to the dark light, it is necessary to extend the exposure time to meet the exposure requirements, but at the same time, for the night scene effect, the shutter length is also skillful. For example, if you shoot a car track, the shutter exposure time is longer than the time for the car to pass through the screen.

2. In addition to the shutter time, the camera should not be pointed at the car when shooting, but should follow the direction of the car. Because the car is facing the car, the light of the headlights is too strong, and nothing can be seen except the headlights.

Generally speaking, night scenes are shot with small aperture. First, clear before and after. Second, where the light is strong, it appears with the effect of stars. If it is a large aperture, the background light will be a circular or polygonal spot effect, which is also quite good.

4, shooting night scenes, usually within 40 minutes after sunset, not more than one and a half hours at the latest. Half an hour after sunset, the sky is still bright, and the lights in the city are on at this time; In the next hour and a half, some people like this period very much. Although the sky is dark, the photos will show a charming color of dark blue.
