How to shoot sunrise and sunset with Canon 450d

First of all, it is important that no matter what camera, whether it is Canon 450D or Nikon D90, the basic procedures for shooting sunrise and sunset are the same. If there is, it's just the setting and operation of the camera and your familiarity with it.

1. If you shoot the sunrise, it's best to make a field survey the day before, so that you can grasp the position of the sunrise and help you find beautiful prospects (preferably interesting prospects, such as beautiful rocks). At this time, it is best to determine the position of your tripod and the height of your camera. This process is very important and determines your composition.

2. Check the local sunrise time and set the alarm clock to ensure that you can reach the shooting position set the day before 30 minutes before sunrise.

3. Set up a tripod, don't shoot in a hurry, first adjust the horizontal line and framing range, and make the ratio of heaven and earth 1:2 or vice versa according to the site situation (the general center is too dull).

4. Turn off anti-shake and switch to self-timer mode to minimize ISO and maximize photo quality.

5. Set the format to RAW and keep the original data for later use.

6. Ready to shoot, adjust the aperture to the middle to the minimum aperture, focus on the whole ground 1/3, then take photos at the shutter prompted by the camera after metering, and then add or subtract 1~2 files on the basis of this shutter to take more photos (because the machine metering is not necessarily accurate).

7. 30 minutes before and after sunrise and sunset is the golden moment. During this time, please don't be stingy with your camera and try to shoot with different exposure combinations.

When you come back and tune it with PS, you will be amazed at your work ~ ~ ~ hey hey ~ ~ ~
