How to shoot the morning sun

The method of shooting Chaoyang is as follows:

When shooting the sunrise, you can use the automatic aperture mode. Because shooting the sunrise belongs to landscape photography, landscape photography usually needs a large depth of field, that is, shooting with a small aperture. Generally, we can set the aperture between F/8-F/ 16, and a large depth of field can get a clear and sharp picture. In terms of sensitivity, because there is enough light in the morning, the sensitivity is adjusted to the lowest, which can ensure the exquisiteness of the picture to the greatest extent.

There is no need to shoot the sunrise when the sun comes out, because it was still slightly bright a moment before the sun came out, but the sea of clouds has been shrouded in the sunset light against the sun that has not yet come out, and the picture is beautiful. So when shooting the sunrise, be sure to arrive at the shooting location in advance and wait for you. Perhaps the work that makes you satisfied is the glow shooting before sunrise.

Shooting skill

Shooting the sunrise requires large-scale scene performance, so you need to choose a wide-angle lens to shoot. When shooting the sunrise, the most commonly used composition method is trisection. Usually we use 1/3 frame to represent the ground scene and 2/3 frame to represent the sky scene, which not only makes the picture colorful, but also visually balanced and coordinated.

When shooting the sunrise, the ground scenery must be involved in the picture. If you abandon the ground scenery and only show the sky, or just take a close-up of the sun, it will be monotonous and have no artistic sense. When using our composition, we must take the ground scenery as the foreground, which can not only produce a strong contrast between light and shade, but also make the picture feel deep.
