Scenery photography skills freeze the wonderful blues dusk.

The white balance mode of incandescent lamp can strengthen the blue sky at dusk and keep the normal color temperature of street lamp.

Readers' questions:

I tried to shoot the scenery at dusk with the white balance of sunlight, but the colors in most photos looked a little dull. Is there any way to improve it?

Editor's answer:

Dusk scenery has always been a photographer's favorite theme. Just as the period before sunset or after sunrise is called "golden moment", the period before sunrise or after sunset is also called "blue moment". This is because when the sun is below the horizon, its light is reflected by the sky, thus showing a wonderful blue luster.

But because the brightness of light changes very quickly, this moment is fleeting. Therefore, if you want to include it in the lens, you need to set the camera as soon as possible and choose the correct shooting position in advance. In order to obtain the best image quality, it is best to use a low ISO value-but this means that it takes several seconds or even as long as 1 minute, so it is very important to use a tripod or other stable support.

Composition can never be ignored. If there are large areas of water or wet paths in the picture, the reflective photography skills they produce can also add a lot of color to the picture. The artificial light source in the city and the blue natural light in the evening complement each other and also have a good effect. Grasping the balance between the two can further enrich the color of the work.

If you use the automatic white balance mode, you can compare the "normal" blue sky with the yellow street lamp. At this time, if you switch to the daylight white balance, the blue of the sky and the orange of the street lamp will be weakened.

In fact, in the "blue moment", using incandescent white balance or fluorescent white balance mode can get better results. In these two white balance modes, the effect of street lamps looks very natural, and the blue of the sky has been further beautified.

It needs to be emphasized repeatedly that we always recommend shooting in RAW format. In this way, you can freely adjust the white balance settings in the post-editing stage.
