How to take good photos with light?

The way to take a good photo with light is as follows:

1, local light forms a strong contrast between light and shade.

On a sunny day, sunlight belongs to hard light, so there will be a strong contrast between light and shade after being blocked by the scenery, which will highlight the bright parts in the picture.

At this time, if we can control the proportion of bright parts in the picture and highlight the main body, we can shoot a picture with strong visual impact.

2. Pay attention to the use of "shadow"

Where there is light, there is shadow, also on sunny days. Because the light quality of natural light is hard at this time, the shadow will be particularly clear. The key point of shooting is that the picture must be concise, otherwise the shadow will be easily ignored. If we can also make shadows or shadows and scenery have a certain echo, then an excellent photographic work will be born.

3. Be good at using specular reflection light.

The reflection on the calm water and the image on the glass or mirror are all formed by the light reflected by the mirror. This kind of light can be used to shoot a symmetrical composition with a strong sense of form. And as long as the plane is low enough, even a small pool of water can take amazing pictures.

4. Pay attention to finding light sources with different colors.

In addition to the color of the scene itself, the light source will also emit different colors of light. However, in some scenes, the colors of light sources are different and have certain conflicts, so it is easy to take photos with strong visual impact when comparing.
