How to use filters in night scene shooting

It is also useful for some special filters in night photography. Because the dark background and bright subject in the night scene set off each other, which has the characteristics similar to Gao Fancha, some special filters play a role.

1, starlight mirror. The filters of Gaojian series 055, 056, 058 and 059 can form different starlight effects. In addition, some other filters can also be used for night photography, such as the REF059 soft cross mirror built by Gao Jian.

2. Soft lens. Soft lens is suitable for shooting some scenes with a certain contrast between background and subject, so it also plays a certain role in shooting night scenes. After adding a soft lens, it can make the junction of light and dark in the night scene or the bright subject diffuse into the night sky, which is quite strange.

3, overspeed mirror. For example, the 2 17 overspeed mirror of Gaojian series has a rising feeling, and the image is half bright and half dark, elongated, as if it were a fast-moving object. What if it will? Speeding? If this part is placed at the bottom of the scene, there will be an effect that the upper part is clear and the lower building rises upward in the night sky.

4. rainbow mirror. Generally, rainbow mirror is suitable for shooting the content of strong point light source in the picture. The concrete effect is that there is a bright spot in the middle, surrounded by rainbow-like light. But it should be used according to the actual situation of the picture, so as to avoid abuse and painting a tiger into a dog.

5. Multi-prism. The main function of prism is to refract a simple object, so that several identical objects appear in the picture, just like looking at the scenery from a kaleidoscope. However, the filter also has its shortcomings, that is, the imaging quality is poor and the picture is easily confused.

6. Polarizer. Polarizer is used to eliminate polarized light, so as to improve the color saturation in the picture and eliminate the reflection of non-buildings. When shooting at night, the scene light can be obviously dimmed, and the photographer can choose a lower shutter speed. By extending the shutter speed, the exposure time can be increased, so that the film can have enough exposure time for the running lights to form a stripe effect, and at the same time, some bad reflections on the glass can be eliminated.

7. Gradient mirror. The gradient mirror is half colored and half colorless. Gradient mirrors are mainly used to adjust the contrast between the upper and lower parts of the scene. When shooting night scenes, if it is still early and the sky brightness is too high, you can darken the sky with the help of a neutral gray gradient mirror. When the sky is getting dark, you can change the color of the sky with gradient mirrors of other colors, and so on.

In short, if you use the filter according to your own needs in night shooting, you will definitely add luster to night shooting as long as you open your mind and use the filter well.

How to capture wonderful pictures with continuous shooting skillfully

Shooting continuous shooting is similar to taking ordinary photos, but there are still some differences: the purpose of shooting continuous shooting is to capture wonderful moments, and it is difficult to make up for missing them. Ordinary photos (such as taking pictures, etc.) ) you can take it repeatedly until you are satisfied. So, how to use it successfully? Continuous shooting? In order to capture the wonderful moment of the function, in addition to making the above basic settings in advance, we must also pay attention to the following points:

1. Minimize shutter delay time. When shooting, most people always press the shutter when they see the lens they need. At this time, the camera needs to focus automatically, measure light, calculate exposure and choose the appropriate exposure combination, which is the main reason for the shutter delay. The correct way is to press the shutter halfway first, let the camera complete the preparations such as autofocus and automatic exposure, and then press the shutter to the end when the shooting time is up, so that the shutter delay will be greatly shortened.

2. Choose the appropriate photo size. Because every time a digital camera takes a series of photos, it needs to process the data, and the final photos are stored in the memory in digital form (such as memory stick, SM, SD card, etc.). It takes a certain amount of time, unlike the traditional camera that can take a second picture at one time. The length of this time has a considerable relationship with the set photo size. The larger the size, the greater the amount of data and the longer the storage time. Too long time interval will seriously affect the next photo shooting, leading to the loss of some wonderful moments. Therefore, in the absence of special circumstances, it is best to use a small size in the camera continuous shooting, which can reduce the camera processing time and shorten the shooting interval.

3. There must be a certain advance payment. Photographers must always keep their concentration, pay close attention to the subject, and press the shutter quickly before the wonderful moment is coming, otherwise they will lose a rare opportunity because of the delay of the shutter of the digital camera.

4.because? Continuous photos? In mode, the built-in flash of digital camera is forbidden to be used, so the requirement for light is higher. The author once used the automatic mode provided by digital camera to shoot in poor light, and the photos taken were seriously underexposed. Therefore, if the ambient light is dark, you should use manual functions to shoot, such as shutter, aperture priority mode or full manual mode, and manually adjust the shutter speed, aperture size, exposure compensation, etc. At the same time, if conditions permit, you can also use auxiliary equipment such as tripod or manual flash, so as to achieve better shooting results.

5. After pressing the shutter, the digital camera continuously shoots at a speed of more than 2 frames per second according to the preset program (which varies greatly with different models). During the shooting process, the LCD screen is in a black state, and there will be no image like when shooting a single photo, so don't move the lens, lest the photo taken is far from your expected effect.
