How to take pictures when the sun is too bright?

Methods of taking pictures when the sun is too big: adjusting shooting time, using shading tools, adjusting camera exposure parameters, using light reflection, shooting angle and composition.

1, adjust the shooting time: avoid the period with the strongest sunshine, such as noon. Choose whether to shoot in the morning or at night. These two periods have low sunshine angle and soft light, which is suitable for taking pictures.

2, the use of shading tools: you can equip the camera lens with a hood to reduce the chance of direct sunlight on the lens. In addition, you can also use umbrellas, hats and other items as the shooting object to block the strong sunlight.

3. Adjust the exposure parameters of the camera: according to the actual situation, appropriately reduce the exposure compensation of the camera to avoid overexposure of photos. At the same time, you can try to use the camera's "exposure surround" function to take multiple photos, so as to select the best works later.

4. Use light reflection: You can use sunlight reflected from buildings, water surfaces and other objects to provide soft light for the subject. At the same time, you can use the reflector and other photographic accessories to change the direction of light and make the photos more stereoscopic.

5. Shooting angle and composition: Try to choose the shooting angle oblique to the sun to avoid direct light. In terms of composition, you can use the shadow formed by the sun to add a sense of hierarchy to the photo.

Precautions for taking pictures

1, color and white balance: adjust the color and white balance of the camera reasonably, so as to make the photo present true or ideal color effect.

2. Stable shooting: In order to avoid the photo blur caused by hand shaking, it is recommended to use a tripod or other stable equipment to shoot. If you shoot by hand, keep your body balanced and stable.

3. Creativity: When taking photos, try different shooting techniques and creativity, such as time-lapse photography and multiple exposures, to increase the interest of photos.

4. People shooting: When shooting people, pay attention to maintaining good communication with the person being photographed and capture natural expressions and movements. At the same time, pay attention to avoid lens distortion and try to shoot with a standard lens.
