How to shoot the night scene?

Every holiday, all kinds of buildings, shops, streets and trees are decorated with bright lights, which makes the city's night scene sparkling and beautiful, attracting many photographers.

How can I shoot a good night scene?

1. Shoot the night scene with a tripod. Fix the camera on the tripod, cover the lens cover to open the door B, and control the exposure time and times by removing or covering the lens cover.

2. Don't expose too much. Generally, the normal exposure time is reduced by 1/3 or 1/2, so that the sky in the night scene is light ink and the night atmosphere is maintained. If the exposure time is too long, the light will lose its bright color because of too much exposure. For example, when the shooting distance is15 ~ 20m, the aperture is 8 and the exposure time should be 1 ~ 6 seconds. When shooting the night scene of a large city, the scene condition is a commercial center with concentrated lights, the aperture is 8, and the exposure time should be 20 ~ 30 seconds. Please refer to related books for specific exposure time and accumulate experience in practice. 3. When shooting, the direction of the flash should be consistent with the direction of the light source. You can also use cross filters or starlight glasses and other auxiliary equipment to shoot, which can achieve special effects.

4. When shooting night scenes, we must pay attention to the selection of pictures, which are simple and highlight the theme. Because there are many lights in the night scene, if you don't pay attention to the composition, a string of lights will appear in the photo, which is dazzling and difficult to see for a long time. 5. You can also use the smooth ground and water surface in rainy days to shoot the reflection of buildings and lights in the night scene, so that the theme and reflection set each other off.
