How to make the night scene not yellow?

Night photography is the most common shooting content in daily life, especially the bright lights in the metropolis at night during festivals make people linger. If you use a digital camera to shoot night scenes, the following points can be used for reference.

The exposure time of night scene shooting with tripod is long. When the shutter is pressed, it takes a certain time for the photoelectric sensing assembly of the camera to convert light, and the stability of the camera will directly affect the clarity of the photo. It is recommended to use a tripod. If there is no ready-made fixed support, you should hold the camera firmly with both hands to reduce shaking.

turn off the LCD screen. Many digital cameras use color LCD screens for framing and composition, but they need a certain distance when framing, which will affect the stability of the camera. Therefore, users are advised to turn off the color LCD screen and use the optical viewfinder when shooting night scenes, which can avoid shaking when shooting.

select night view mode. some digital cameras have night view function of people, which helps to take good night view photos. If there is no night scene function, it needs to be set, such as setting the shooting mode to the automatic file, and then setting the flash to the forced flash mode. The effect is good, but it is still somewhat different from the digital photos with night scene mode. For digital cameras with manual exposure adjustment, we can measure light according to the field light, then set the shutter and aperture, and then start the forced flash function, and the effect is very ideal.

Set the metering mode. Set the metering mode of the digital camera to average metering or multi-area metering. This metering can obtain ideal exposure effect, especially suitable for shooting pure night scenes. If the scene light is complex and the contrast is large, it is necessary to adopt spot metering method and select the main light source for metering, so as to make the theme exposure correct.

using optical zoom skillfully. most digital cameras have optical zoom function. If you want to take a photo with both a portrait and a background, use a wide-angle end as far as possible, which can improve the exposure speed, reduce the decline in photo clarity caused by the shaking of the hand-held camera, reduce the parallax of optical framing, and capture more background.

exposure compensation calibration: After each photo is taken, you should browse it on the color LCD screen in time. If you feel that the effect is not satisfactory, you can delete the remake, which is also a great advantage of digital cameras. Some digital cameras have exposure compensation, and ideal digital photos can be obtained by re-shooting after exposure compensation calibration.

select the white balance. for the white balance of digital cameras, users can select the automatic file without adjusting the white balance. If you have special requirements, you can make some adjustments, but it will affect the effect of the night scene. It is suggested that users set the sensitivity on the automatic gear, and try not to raise the sensitivity as much as possible, otherwise it will increase the granularity of the photos and affect the clarity and beauty of the photos.

Try to shoot as close as possible. The built-in flash index of digital cameras is low. When shooting, keep the subject within 3 meters. Too far away will make the exposure insufficient.

the parameters and modes of the digital camera are set when shooting the night scene, and it must be restored after shooting, otherwise it will lead to inaccurate exposure or other adverse consequences when taking photos in other states.
