Sunrise shooting skill parameters

Many friends will think about shooting at sunrise and sunset. Why? Because these two scenes can be regarded as the most beautiful and unique scenes under the light. The sunshine of the rising sun and the setting sun has a unique photographic taste, which is not as dazzling as the scorching sun, but has its own softness.

Shooting modes: aperture priority mode (AV) and full manual mode (M).

Parameter setting: Generally, a small aperture is used when shooting sunrise/sunset, and the aperture is adjusted between f/8-f/ 16. Sensitivity is 50-200, the lowest possible sensitivity. Shutter speed is uncertain and needs to be adjusted according to the change of light.

Composition: three-point composition.

Putting the sun in the lower third and leaving a blank space above the composition will make photography feel better.

Note: In order to prevent glare, it is recommended that you use a hood. If you can use a tripod, try to shoot with it. When measuring, you can measure the light above sunset, and increase the exposure compensation of 1- 1.5EV, and the shooting effect will be better. Shoot slow-door works

Shooting mode: full manual shift (M gear)

Setting: After fixing the camera on the tripod, set the parameters. Because of the long exposure shooting, the shutter speed is slow, even a slight shake will make the picture paste, so it is necessary to loosen the tripod and cable. If no cable is released, it will be burned to a great extent, because there will always be jitter when pressing the shutter. The shutter speed must be slow, so that you can shoot the softness of the painting, otherwise your slow door photography will fail, but remember that this shutter speed needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

Composition: foreground composition, three-point composition, vertical composition.

Note: tripod and cable release are necessary. Because it is a long exposure shooting, the picture will be blurred if you shake it a little, so the tripod and cable release is certain.
