Photography experience 1 "How to shoot stars"

Generally, the wide angle of the star is less than 35mm+ small aperture, which is taken against the sun.

If you shoot at the sun for a long time, it will do harm to the image sensor. But if it is sunrise, or the sun is in the Woods, it is still possible.

Special reminder, don't look at the sun with your eyes on the viewfinder, it will seriously burn your eyes. The correct way is to use the screen to view the scene, just look at the screen.

If you use the aperture F 16-22, sometimes the light will be longer, and your shooting content determines whether it will affect the picture.

Don't let the aperture be too large. If the aperture is too large, it will cause light erosion and directly affect the appearance of light, depending on which effect you like.

Avoid overexposure to cover up the stars, and you can choose prime time shooting.

Shoot at the moment the sun rises or the clouds come out. This time period is the best and often the best time to make a movie.

At the same time, the small stars in the lens aperture are prominent, and the details in the bright part are rich, but the details in the near and dark parts are easily lost due to insufficient exposure.

You can use a flash to brighten the foreground and enrich the picture level, especially when taking portraits, you can use a reflector to fill the light.

Negative exposure compensation can also be increased. The best way is to shoot alone with a fixed camera, and finally through post-synthesis.

When shooting, try to use stones, trees, buildings, etc. As a shelter, it will be easier to highlight the effect of the stars.

Generally speaking, telephoto is difficult to shine! Small aperture makes it easier to shine!

Different lenses have different lens groups, so the amount of light entering is different, for example, some have only a few, and some have as many as a dozen.

Finally, summarize the shooting method:

Wide angle less than 35mm end+small aperture, shooting at the sun;

Use the screen to view the scene to avoid burning eyes;

Choose prime-time shooting to avoid strong light;

Control exposure, fill light with flash, or increase exposure negative compensation;

Try to use stones, trees and buildings as shelters.

In fact, the lighting is to make the picture interesting, just try more.
