When it is difficult

On rainy days, the light is dim. Wedding photographers often give up shooting in order to prevent the camera from getting wet or the lens from getting wet. However, rain often indicates the birth of new shooting opportunities and creative themes. Showing the dynamics of rain and the warm scene it brings to the world can also produce wonderful landscape works. Rain is transparent and colorless, so it is not easy to show its falling movement. Photographers need to use a low-speed shutter combined with a tripod to freeze the falling raindrops in the picture in a sheltered place. In order to show raindrops clearly, photographers usually need to choose a darker subject as the background of the picture. In this case, the photographer photographed the drizzle under the eaves, used the appropriate exposure time, and chose the building in the shadow as the background of the picture, thus clearly showing the scene of raindrops falling. There are many shooting techniques to show the rain in Mao Mao, such as shooting the ripples caused by raindrops in the lake. Photographers can leave a beautiful drizzle in the picture through ingenious ideas and various photography techniques.

Romantic snow

The snow scene is fresh and refined, and shooting flying snowflakes can make the photos romantic. "Snow Dance" has two expressions. One is to shoot the dynamics of snowflakes falling with a low-speed shutter with a tripod, and the other is to shoot a small scene with a telephoto lens, and with the high-speed shutter, countless tiny snowflakes are fixed in the picture. The focus of snow photography is the heat preservation of the camera and the control of shutter speed. When the weather is cold, the service time of the battery is obviously shortened, so it must be placed inside the clothes to keep warm and save electricity.

Cloud utilization rate

The effect of clouds in photos is largely determined by the tendency of exposure. Because the cloud belongs to the high-light shooting object, the exposure can be appropriately reduced when shooting. Although this will make other objects in the picture underexposed, the level of clouds will be perfectly presented. Clouds are often shrouded in distant mountains, and photographers can use telephoto lenses to shoot such scenes. The telephoto lens has a visual compression effect, which can organically integrate close-range and distant view. In addition, when shooting the beautiful scenery of fog rising in distant mountains, using telephoto lens to include some clear elements nearby that are not covered by fog, such as rocks, can not only make the picture more intimate, but also solve the problem of lack of center of gravity and stability.
