How to shoot the ends of the earth in Sanya?

First, it is very important to prepare in advance to determine the shooting concept.

The sky and the ocean are a perfect combination. When the sky is full of clouds, it expresses the same strong feelings and makes the sense of space stronger. In such a powerful gas field space, the expressions of the characters are cold and strong, which can form a sharp contrast. In the choice of lens, it is best to combine wide angle and medium telephoto, which not only has a sense of atmosphere, but also depicts the emotional details of the characters.

Second, master the skills of flash, metering and exposure.

If you want to present a scene with blurred background and scattered sea, you must use a large aperture, because the ambient light is very bright, and the shutter speed can reach 1/8000 seconds at the earliest. If you use a flash, the flash speed can't be reached. A reflector is recommended. If you use a small aperture, you can use a flash at a certain shutter speed, but the wave light shows stars.

Exposure skills: In seaside portrait photography, the sea surface is a key point, so the exposure control is carried out on the premise of ensuring the sea surface, and of course, the consideration of sky exposure cannot be less. At this time, the exposure of characters is secondary, but the details must be guaranteed. To do this, in addition to the use of various fill light technologies, we also need to know the tolerance range of the camera, so as not to be irreparable afterwards.

Third, try a variety of compositions to achieve a perfect artistic conception.

Aerial photography: This photo aims to show a sense of helplessness. The characters stand in the middle of the vast sea, lonely, confused and helpless. Using high-altitude aerial photography, using terrain assistance, standing on the dam for aerial photography, so that there is no sea level in the picture, creating the illusion of endless sea surface.

Breaking the dichotomy makes the picture full of motion: the inclined sea level, sea surface and sky avoid half of the composition, and the characters are not in the center of the picture, but they are not at the golden section. The action of the characters moving forward, coupled with the sloping sea level, brings a feeling of wading forward.

Hainan has a long coastline and is suitable for photographing seaside portraits all year round. As long as you master the essentials, you will be able to shoot satisfactory works.
