What is smooth shooting?

Shun-light shooting refers to the shooting mode in which the main light source is placed in front of the subject. If it is sunlight, the sun is behind the photographer, and the photographer is shooting with his back to the sun. Shun-light shooting has a good performance on color, but it has a very limited performance on the three-dimensional sense and texture of the subject. If the pixel of the lens is not too high, it will still have a certain impact on the definition.

Smooth light is commonly used in shooting. When shooting a scene along the light, the light is sufficient, the brightness is high, the contrast between light and dark is low, and the shadow is small or no shadow, and its shadow is blocked by the object itself. The subject receives light evenly, and the exposure is easy to grasp. Generally, there will be no overexposure or underexposure. The photo taken along the light is bright in color, clear in imaging, high in saturation and good in color reproduction, which is closest to its prototype. This kind of light is suitable for showing the details and colors of scenery and shooting flowers, insects, handicrafts and so on.

When shooting portraits in light, it is best to shoot portraits from the front of the characters, which is stereoscopic and conforms to people's visual habits. Face-slapping is too peaceful. It is best to shoot in sunny morning or evening, when the sun shines obliquely, the color temperature is low and the light is soft, which is suitable for shooting scenes. Guang Shun is suitable for taking group photos. There are many group photos, and they are taken from the front, so it is not easy to block each other.
