What if there is snow or beach mode when taking pictures?

Several points for attention in ice and snow photography

Tourism photography mostly belongs to landscape photography, and ice and snow photography is more difficult in landscape photography. It should be noted and understood that:

1, temperature and equipment Due to the low temperature in winter, especially in the ice and snow environment, the exposure speed of the camera mechanical system is often too slow due to the solidification of lubricating oil, which leads to out-of-control shooting. There are also cameras that rely on batteries. At low temperature, the power will soon run out and it is impossible to shoot. Solution: Try to use pure manipulator-controlled models, such as domestic Seagull, Phoenix, Nissan Nikon FM2, Germany Leica R6.2 (Leica R6.2 can guarantee the stability of the speed of minus 20 degrees) and other cameras. Even if there is no electricity, they can't measure light at most, so it's no problem to capture the data. Of course, it is best to have a hand-held exposure meter. At present, most cameras are automatic cameras, so you should try to put the camera in your arms. If you can install lithium batteries, you don't need ordinary batteries. Compared with ordinary batteries, lithium batteries have much better cold resistance. When the camera is outdoors for a long time and the temperature is very low, don't open the lens cover once you enter a warm room to avoid condensation.

2. The difficulty of shooting ice and snow lies in exposure. Because of the high reflectivity of ice and snow, all cameras are based on 18% reflectivity in photometric design, so it is absolutely inaccurate to shoot ice and snow according to normal photometry. In this case, the film will be underexposed in automatic mode. Solution: It is usually necessary to increase the exposure of 1.5 2. At present, cameras on the market generally have+-. If not, you can adjust the metering to the aperture of f 16 and the speed of1/25 seconds, to f 1 1, 1/60, or change the sensitivity of ASA 100 to.

Teach you to shoot snow scenes with DV step by step.

Winter after heavy snow has a unique scenery, and the world wrapped in snow is the favorite of many photographers. At this time, the sky is as transparent as crystal, and the cold trees outline extremely capable outlines on a white background, making the whole winter lonely and cold. Shooting at this time will definitely make a good video.

First, the characteristics of shooting weather on snowy days

Snow scene is characterized by strong reflection and high brightness. Compared with the scenery in the dark, the contrast between light and shade is strong. When snow falls, snowflakes are mixed with the gas and smoke on the ground, so the light is very soft, but the visibility is low, and the picture taken is not rich in tone levels, which is easy to turn blue (high color temperature). So it's best to choose a darker scene as the background.

The best shooting time can be early or late. The angle between the sunlight and the ground is small and the projection is long, so as to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the shooting scene and achieve the relative balance between light and shade. In addition, the projection of the scene can also add vitality and rhythm to the empty and silent snowfield.

Second, adjust the DV parameters for shooting snow scenes.

There is a big gap between the light in snowy days and the normal light, so the parameters of the digital camera must be appropriate before shooting, in order to shoot a suitable image.

1, adjust the exposure. SONYDCR-TRV 17E digital camera is operated as follows:

Step 1: Press the menu key to display the menu settings in camera mode;

Step 2: Turn the SEL/PUSHEXEC dial to select "M", and then press the dial;

Step 3: Turn SEL/PUSHEXEC knob to select PROGRAMAE project, and then press the knob;

Step 4: Turn the SEL/PUSHEXEC knob and select "Beach &;; Skiing (beach and snow) option to prevent the special face of the person from appearing too dark when shooting people under strong light or reflection such as beach or skiing sound. After setting, press the dial to return.

When shooting snow scenes, we can use the following methods to ensure the best exposure effect when shooting. One is to use some objects as reference objects, such as tree trunks or stones that are not covered by heavy snow, because they can receive the same intensity of light as the scene. After selecting the reference object, you can balance the white manually to achieve the best shooting effect. Remember not to use automatic exposure mode. The second method is to use the attached photometer to test the light intensity. Its use method is very simple. Just aim the hemispherical part of the photometer at the lens and press the button, and the correct light intensity will be displayed on the display screen. But be careful not to stand in the shadows during the test

2. Adjust the white balance

Because the brightness of shooting snow scene is quite different, it is necessary to adjust the white balance indoors when setting. The method is as follows: Step 1: Press the menu key to display the menu settings in camera mode; Step 2: Turn the SEL/PUSHEXEC dial to select WHTBAL, and then press the dial; Step 3: Select Indoor from the menu options that appear. Indoor means that the shooting place is a place where the lighting conditions change rapidly and the studio is too bright.
