How to shoot sunrise and sunset?

I feel the same way with you. I also like the color of dusk. Looking at that color photo, I will think of many things. Here I will talk about some techniques for shooting sunrise and sunset for your reference. First, preparation: choose the right place, the right time, and use the right equipment to shoot the sunrise and sunset. Everyone knows that the sun rises and sets in the west and crosses the sky from left to right. When you think about it in advance and want to shoot an effect, for example, you want to use a rock that needs to be out of the ground as the foreground, but the sun doesn't just set behind it; The sun will move to the right and may miss this stone. If your purpose is to photograph the sun falling on these rocks, you must first move to the left to get the ideal picture. Second, the right season: the best season to shoot sunrise and sunset is spring and autumn. In summer, these two seasons are later than sunrise and earlier than sunset, which is beneficial to shooting. In spring and autumn, there are more clouds, which can increase the shooting effect. 3. Cloud: Cloud is a natural reflective object in shooting, which can spread the red light of the sun, thus constantly changing the similarity of works. Clouds can also be the subject of shooting. But pay attention to what happens when clouds cover the sunset; Light will come out from behind the clouds, which will add a very touching effect to the photos. The clouds are too sleepy. When the clouds turn green, there will be a bright scene, which is also very suitable for shooting. Watch carefully and take a snapshot when the sun gradually appears from the middle of this bright edge. 4. Reflection: Shooting the reflection of the water surface will add color to the photos of sunrise and sunset, and the calm sea surface or lake surface can reflect the scenery in the sky. It presents a mirror-like image, which is always disturbed by the breeze blowing over the water. Leave more dazzling light on the water, and draw a light edge from the horizon to the foreground of the picture. When the sun goes down, this light path will extend to your eyes. Facing the sun directly, the exposure reading is always inaccurate. This will result in only the sun in the photo, while the rest is underexposed. There are two ways to help you determine the appropriate exposure reading. One is to put the sun in three different positions in the viewfinder and then take the average of these three exposure readings. Another method is to use exposure readings directly when shooting overhead. When shooting sunrise and sunset, using different exposure will produce different shooting effects. You can choose to shoot one exposure reading up and down (increase one file and decrease one file). 6. Lens: You can shoot the sunset with any lens. But if the sun itself is the subject of the picture, use a long focal length as much as possible. On a standard 35mm picture, the sun is only1100 of the focal length. If it is a 50 mm standard lens, the size of the sun is only 0.5 mm, and a 200 mm lens is used. The size of the sun is 2 mm With a 400 mm lens, the sun is 4 mm Once the sun starts to set, the brightness of the light will drop obviously. You will soon need to use a very slow speed and hold a telephoto lens in your hand, which is very unstable. So get a tripod ready when shooting the sun. 7. Aperture; When sunset is the theme of the work, you should pay more attention to controlling the size of the aperture. A small aperture can make the sun look like a star, and the smaller the aperture, the better. Eight, the line is reflected from the lens surface to the film to form a dotted line. A high-quality hood helps to limit glare, and using the smallest aperture can reduce these spots. Contrast imbalance is absolutely inevitable, but the facula lines generated by the reflection on the lens surface can be used as the composition part of the work. Using a single-lens reflex camera will have this kind of light effect, but using other cameras is more prone to errors and problems. Nine, color arrangement: when the sun gradually falls in the air, the color temperature decreases, forming a warm tone. Long before the naked eye saw that the sun was red, it began to appear dark yellow on the film, then orange and finally red. This effect will add color to the picture, but few photographers can remember to change the tone that is essentially wrong. For photographers who want to shoot real scenes, 82A light blue filter can remove warm tones and warm tones from sunrise and sunset photos. Ten, pay attention to protect your eyes: when the sun is close to the horizon, it is generally safe to observe through the viewfinder. The higher the sun is in the sky, the brighter it is. At this time, it is more dangerous to observe the sun directly, especially with a telephoto lens. To be on the safe side, you can stick an exposed or black film (35 mm long is ideal) on the viewfinder to observe the sun and determine the best composition.
