How to photograph traffic flow

I believe many photographers have tried to walk to the overpass near the expressway and shoot the light traces of vehicles on the expressway from top to bottom. However, have you ever tried to shoot a composition at a low angle? Some photographers think that the way of overlooking the light track in the past is relatively flat and visually unattractive. However, there are many commercial buildings in the city and the streets are lit up one after another. Use the lights of commercial buildings or streets as the background, then set the tripod in a safe position between the tram lane and the road, adjust the tripod to the minimum, and capture the ideal angle by the camera's field of vision.

The momentum of the car trajectory can also be photographed at a low angle.

Tip: Shooting skills

Shoot the night scene, and the exposure should be accurate. The longer the exposure time, the more tracks.

Pay attention to the number of car dealers, about 3-4 cars are better, and then adjust according to the number of light rails you want.

When the vehicle leaves the lens, it is the ideal effect.

Composition is very important. Strengthen observation from photography experience and pay attention to lens characteristics.

Shooting on roads and tram tracks can be dangerous, so pay attention to safety when placing tripods.

Common track images are all in color, so black and white can have different tastes.

2.m-file shooting

The best time to shoot this night scene is from 6 pm to 1 1. In order to make a composition, it is inevitable to take pictures through different commercial buildings and overpasses. You can shoot with the camera in the M range (or at night with the B shutter). Narrowing the aperture, combined with low sensitivity ISO and slow shutter under long exposure, the longer the time, the longer the light track of the lamp will drag, and the small aperture will make the street lamp appear star-shaped effect.

M file is a common mode for many photographers to shoot night scenes.
