How to deal with the exposure of VR panoramic shooting?

No matter what photos you take, whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, you will encounter exposure problems. 360 panoramic photography is no exception. Moreover, exposure is one of the first factors that photographers should consider when lifting their cameras. In fact, in most cases, it is relatively easy to obtain accurate exposure by relying on the exposure value provided by the built-in photometric performance of the camera.

However, due to the complexity of the photographic environment and the fact that the light is difficult to hold me, or if you want to create a unique photographic effect, exposure is particularly important. At this time, it is up to the photographer to control the exposure, and further understand the relationship between exposure-related settings such as shutter speed, aperture and sensitivity. Only by understanding these can we get more accurate exposure parameters.

In addition, it should be noted that this refers to the correct exposure, not the accurate exposure. The word difference has a completely different meaning. For example, in order to make the scene shot in 360 panoramic view have a high-profile feeling, the exposure can be appropriately increased to make the picture slightly overexposed, and in order to make the picture reflect a low dark and gloomy feeling, the exposure can be reduced to make the picture slightly underexposed.

For another example, most photos with accurate exposure require details in any part of the picture, and neither too dark nor too white is allowed. However, when shooting the sparkling water at that time, there were no details about which highlights, so it can't be said that the photo exposure was misplaced. When taking silhouette photography, the silhouette part is mostly black with no details, but this kind of photo is also a correctly exposed work.

Therefore, judging whether a work is correctly exposed depends not only on the details of the picture, but also on whether the content of the work is consistent with the theme expressed by the photographer, whether the theme and accompanying relationship of the picture are natural and whether the main performance is appropriate. Just like a painting, whether the heavy place is heavy or not, and whether the shallow place is shallow or not has a lot to do with the fineness of the painting.
