How to shoot scenery in summer

Lead: Summer is a hot season, during which plants grow vigorously and insects are unprecedentedly active; People's unique activity in this season is to cool off the heat. Therefore, there are three types of photos that successfully reflect the theme of summer: photos of plants, photos of fruits and insects, and photos of people's summer activities. What pictures can we take from the above clues? Let's take a look ~

How to shoot the scenery in summer is different from the plants in spring. Plants have reached the peak of their lives in this season, so it is a bit stingy to shoot small local scenes. It is just right to shoot complete plants, large forests and shade. Botanical gardens or parks are good places to shoot. In addition, all kinds of flowers on the roadside of the courtyard park are also competing for each other, which is just a panoramic view. Many fruits and vegetables in rural areas can be picked, so it is worth considering to let them enter the perspective with farmers or make the vegetable basket the protagonist of shooting.

▲ F9, speed 1/250s, focal length 17mm, ISO 200. Gorgeous summer flowers shot with a wide-angle lens.

▲ Aperture F4, speed1125s, focal length 26mm, ISO 400. Towering green trees. The characters in the painting have the function of visual center.

▲ Aperture F5.6, speed11000s, focal length 400mm, ISO 200. In summer, the graceful lotus flowers and huge lotus leaves in the lotus pond really give people a fresh and comfortable feeling.

In summer, people dare not show up in air-conditioned rooms, but it is the time when most insects are in high spirits, so if you are not afraid of sweating, find a piece of grass by the pond and you can shoot dozens of insects at noon, and they are all in high spirits. The photos taken are clear and colorful.

▲ Aperture F4, speed 1/200s, focal length 105mm, ISO 200. Take a picture of the golden cicada shelling.

▲ Aperture F8, speed 1/500s, focal length 105mm, ISO 800. Insects in flowers.

Because of the strong light and high temperature in summer, you can use a higher shutter speed and a smaller aperture, without worrying about out-of-focus conditions and depth of field, as long as you can hold the camera steady. Try to avoid when the light is too strong at noon. If you can't make mistakes, take photos with backlight. For the main characters, use a reflector or flash to reflect the auxiliary light of the shadow to reduce the contrast and enhance the texture of the shadow.

▲ Aperture F 16, speed 1/200s, focal length 26mm, ISO 100. Natural scenery shot with high shutter and small aperture under strong light in summer.

▲ Aperture F9, speed 1/320s, focal length 60mm, ISO 200. The hazy scene, the houses nearby, the trees in the middle and the fog in the distance present a sense of tranquility.

When shooting sports pictures such as boating and swimming in summer, most of them are in light conditions with large contrast between light and dark, and it is easy to misjudge the exposure time of the subject. Therefore, it is suggested to choose a more precise measurement method, such as point measurement or zoning evaluation measurement. In addition, when the scene changes and the posture of the characters are slightly different, it can be adjusted by re-exposure, so we should carefully grasp the exposure data of each photo, and accidentally there will be a bad situation of overexposure or half overexposure and half underexposure. Gao Fancha is not only easy to appear in summer, but also prone to low contrast, too large or too small contrast, which will cause insufficient layering and affect the texture.

▲ Aperture F5.6, speed 1/200s, focal length 70mm, ISO 50. People swim in the sea in summer.

Summer photography should also pay attention to, if the proportion of characters in the picture is very small, the background is a large area of blue sky and white clouds and a lot of ultraviolet rays. The brightness of the background is much higher than that of the protagonist, which easily leads to the underexposure of the protagonist. Pay attention to appropriately increase some exposure. If the background is mountains, jungles, dark scenes or dark scenes, people will be overexposed. So we need to reduce some exposure time.

▲ F9, speed 1/400s, focal length 16mm, ISO 100. By measuring the sky, people are underexposed and get beautiful silhouettes.
