Matters needing attention in sunshine shooting

Lead: Sunny weather is what many photographers pursue. Because of the strong sunshine, you can get a strong contrast, which can make the blue sky look more beautiful and the color of the main body become bright. But many times, photos taken on sunny days will be exposed. Next, I'll bring you the precautions for shooting in sunny days. Let's have a look!

Precautions for shooting in sunny days When you wake up in the morning and see the sunny day outside the window, you will be in a good mood and want to pick up your camera and go out to shoot. Sunny weather is the weather that many photographers pursue. Because of the strong sunshine, you can get a strong contrast, which can make the blue sky look more beautiful and the color of the main body become bright. If we can make good use of sunlight and shadows, we can show the picture effect of telling stories. However, you need to pay attention to the direction of light at this time.

The most important thing to pay attention to when shooting in sunny days is exposure. The exposure difference between the part facing the sun and the part in the shadow of the sun is quite large, so there may be many photographers who are troubled by exposure. At this time, the most important thing is to make clear the desired picture effect. If the exposure is suitable for the shadow part, then this part will perform well, while the bright part will be overexposed. On the other hand, if the exposure is calculated according to the part facing the sun, the shadow will be completely destroyed. Therefore, even if you shoot the same subject, you will have a completely different shooting effect, which is also one of the pleasures of shooting. If you don't know how to make a decision, you can change the exposure compensation, confirm it with LCD while shooting, and finally determine the desired picture effect. This is a skill that can be used when using a digital camera.

In addition, we should try to consider the picture effect that will only appear under the condition of sufficient sunshine and strong contrast. For example, the water surface reflects the beauty of the blue sky, which is a landscape only on sunny days. In addition, in character shooting, close-up shooting will have a strong shadow, which should be noted. When shooting the whole body and using the background flexibly, we should also actively use the blue sky or distinctive light, so as to show good results.

Scenes that can only be shot on sunny days? The water reflected the blue sky.

Improve the contrast and emphasize the three-dimensional sense.

In the above picture, the photographer captured the sunlight through the trees, and such a scene can only be found on a sunny day. In order not to make the contrast too low, it is necessary to carefully adjust the exposure when shooting.

There's nothing better than taking pictures of the scenery? Sunny day? More favorable conditions. You can bring the scenery and the blue sky into the picture together and get a very ideal picture effect. Especially shooting the hills under the blue sky is a rare opportunity to shoot. The combination of the blue sky and the open flower fields on the gentle hillside is a good scenery not to be missed. Add white clouds to the picture, not to mention. On the other hand, in addition to mountain scenery, there are still some scenes that need to be photographed by sunlight, such as elongated shadows on the snow surface, reflections on the lake, point light sources in the background and sunlight shining through trees, etc.

But when shooting scenery, shooting with your back to the sun and light will make the subject look flat, so I don't like this effect very much. It is very important to make good use of side backlight or backlight, choose a good opportunity and angle, and work hard to shape the three-dimensional sense of the subject.

The blue sky is the best background in the landscape.

In the above picture, there is nothing more suitable to be included in the main body of the picture with blue sky than mountains. When shooting under the blue sky at noon, we should pay attention to the shooting position and angle, showing the three-dimensional sense of the subject.
