Xia Guang shooting time

The shooting time in Xia Guang is usually 6 am and 5 pm.

The beauty of sunrise and sunset always attracts countless landscape photographers, but it is still difficult for beginners to shoot beautiful sunset scenery.

Shooting sunrises and sunsets generally chooses places with wider horizons: beaches, lakes, hilltops and even the roofs of cities. Bian Xiao suggested shooting in the wild because the air in the wild is much more transparent than in the city. However, many beautiful photos can also be taken in the city.

Sunrise and sunset are timely, and the scenery is different in different seasons and different time periods. The best seasons for shooting sunrises and sunsets are spring and autumn. Compared with summer, in these two seasons, the sunrise is late and the sunset is early, and there are many clouds, so it is easier to encounter the scene of "colorful clouds all over the sky".

Before and after sunrise and sunset, the color of sunlight changes very quickly. For a period of time after sunrise in the morning or before sunset in the evening, the light is composed of sunlight with low color temperature and weak skylight, with rich red and orange light and less blue and cyan light, so the sunrise or sunset scene will be dyed red and orange, so we should seize the opportunity when shooting sunrise and sunset scenes.

Colorful phenomena caused by refraction, scattering and selective absorption of solar light by the atmosphere in the sky near the sun at sunrise or sunset.

Haze is formed by the refraction, scattering and selective absorption of solar light by suspended particles (dust, ice crystals, water droplets and other impurities) in the atmosphere. The radius of these suspended particles is much smaller than the wavelength of sunlight, and Rayleigh scattering will occur when sunlight hits these particles.

The blue, purple, cyan and other colors of sunlight scatter a lot because of their short wavelength, while the red, orange, yellow and other colors have long light transmission ability and are not easy to be scattered, so the chardonnay I see is mostly red and orange.

Reflected glow: Generally speaking, reflected glow is opposite to the position of the sun. The sun shines directly on the suspended matter, and then scatters to form the glow, that is, the sunrise when there are clouds in the western sky in the morning and the sunset when the clouds in the eastern sky are illuminated by the sunset at night.
