Follow me to do my homework and prepare a blockbuster!

Bad weather photography tips 1. Early preparation

Prepare one: full-size off-road vehicle!

Before shooting, you must have a flexible and reliable means of transportation. You should know that shooting in bad weather, like extreme sports, will encounter messy roads and rugged mountain roads. The roads are all kinds of bad. If the car is in bad condition, it may be extremely dangerous to get in close contact with death on the way. Therefore, the full-size off-road vehicle is the safety guarantee for shooting.

Second, the shooting style

1, tornado

For tornadoes, this product formed by thunderstorms in the clouds, when the volume of water vapor is reduced due to cooling, the gas arrives unevenly in the surrounding supplementary space, forming tornadoes. If you want to shoot a tornado well, you must be a warrior chasing the wind, with extraordinary courage, and dare to rush to the forefront of tornadoes, just like Robert? Kappa said: If your photos are not good enough, it is because you are not close enough to the gunfire! Run, wind chaser! The following is a video of a crooked nut chasing a tornado:

For a southerner like me, the scene of flying snow is like a dream. However, when I was in artistic conception, thousands of people didn't want to. Why is it so cold? ! So I'm here to recommend various warm-keeping measures for friends who want to shoot snow scenes: warm babies, down jackets and other cold-proof equipment. When shooting, white snowflakes are easy to cause overexposure of camera photometry, so the exposure value should be reduced by 0.3- 1 EV accordingly.

3.thunderstorm weather

It is actually very easy to shoot lightning across the sky, that is, to capture the process and exposure of lightning by long exposure. First of all, when there is lightning and thunder, we put the camera on the tripod, aim at the area where you think there will be lightning, set the aperture value of the camera as small as possible: f/ 16 or f/22, set the shutter to 30 seconds or door B, connect the cable to release, open the shutter before lightning appears, and end the exposure when lightning appears. Because this kind of photography doesn't often appear, but if you encounter it, you might as well try lightning shooting, and there may be unexpected surprises.

4. Foggy days and rainy days

Rainy weather is the most common kind of weather. Compared with when people go out to take pictures, it's like a slogan: It won't rain until after kicking! ? I often change clothes in high spirits, only to find that there is no blue sky and white clouds and afternoon sunshine. I guess this is the lost mood. But how can you shoot the scene of rain in Mao Mao without rain?

In rainy days, black and white effects can be used to enhance the contrast between light and shadow, and at the same time, there is no color interference, which can make the theme more prominent. As shown in the above picture, the flash can be placed behind the figure, and the silhouette effect can be achieved through the off-board flash device, which is quite creative.

At the same time, you can also use HDR effect to make the picture more visually impactful. You can also use some props in rainy days to make the picture more artistic, such as umbrellas, water shoes, flowers and trees, travelers and passers-by.

Not everything in life is wishful thinking. If we just shoot sunny days as usual, it will be noisy and boring. In the face of sudden weather changes, it may be more interesting to change our photography ideas. You might as well try shooting in bad weather. I wish you all a touching picture.
