How to photograph the Tyndall effect

Step 1. Choose a suitable location

The Tyndall effect must be blocked to be seen. For example, clouds block the sun and the beam of light is transmitted from the edge of the cloud; or light The light shines on buildings or trees and shines through the gaps between them. This effect is more obvious in the early morning after rain or when there is mist. The shooting times that are easy to capture are generally concentrated in the morning and evening, especially about an hour before and after the sun rises in the morning.

Step 2. Select manual exposure mode

Only in manual mode, the camera can expose according to the photographer's intention. Do not use aperture priority mode and let the camera automatically select the exposure. , automatic metering often produces overexposure.

Step 3. Use spot metering

Spot metering can darken the background, not only making the light beam stand out, but also more accurately distinguishing light and dark parts. Be sure to pay attention to the metering position when metering, it is the key to ensuring accurate exposure. Generally, you can place the metering point at the edge where the light source contacts the object, such as a person in the sun. Measuring it slightly inside the edge of the face can ensure that the face is clearly exposed without making the beam too bright and lose texture.

Step 4. Find a good shooting angle

Choosing a good shooting angle is to apply light correctly. When shooting, side backlighting or side lighting is generally used, and backlighting is also used. But it is more difficult to grasp. The reason why forward light is not used is that objects in the forward light will be bright, so there will be no contrast between light and dark. It is not recommended to use the built-in flash of the camera to take pictures, as it can easily damage the quality of the photo.

Step 5. Artificially fill the subject with light

For example, using a reflector can get a better sense of light and texture, which often produces good results.
