Photographic skills of sunrise by the sea

Lead: There is wonderful light at sunrise. How can I shoot the sunrise by the sea in a short time? Let's take a look!

1. Before shooting

Scene shooting often encounters rapid changes, and some scenes are difficult to meet. The original plan was to shoot the sunrise at the seaside at 4 am, but at that time, the clouds were covered and the sun was hiding behind them. Until 7 o'clock, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds, and the golden light shone on the earth instantly. So I quickly ran close to the cliff, found the perfect angle between the sun and the cliff, quickly measured the sky, and started exposure around 5 continuous shooting. After the shooting, the sun hid in the clouds and refused to come out?

2. Shooting experience

The appearance of this photo was unexpected. Sunrise shooting summer shooting time is about 6 am, when the sky is just a little white and the light ratio is not very large, so it is easy to shoot a good film. At 7 o'clock, the sun was already high, and I was about to call it a day when the beautiful scenery mentioned above appeared, so I did not hesitate to take this scene and got this photo. The opportunity to shoot sometimes comes suddenly. You should be good at observation and can shoot beautiful things.

3. Shooting skills

Peripheral exposure: in the case of high light ratio, such as backlight shooting, the sky and the ground can be exposed many times, and the post-synthesis method can replace GND in most cases. Here, I would like to commend D4 for its strong inclusiveness. Although there are five exposures around, actually two exposures are enough.

4. Post-production

Later, two films were used, and the sky part was called out with a mask after adjustment. Pay attention to the combination of sky, cliff and sun, which is natural and harmonious. Using the change of color temperature, the whole picture shows warm and cold colors, making the picture cleaner and more transparent. In addition, the atmosphere is well rendered from the aspects of tone, light and shade, so that the picture has a three-dimensional effect.
