Simple filtering skills of frozen trees

CPL and GND filters. Shooting in the ice and snow will be more challenging than usual, whether it is to protect the camera or control the exposure. You can refer to the following technologies and methods:

1, correctly control the exposure.

When the camera faces a large area of snow, it will automatically reduce the exposure, which will make the snow look dirty and dark. At this time, we should use the photographic principle of "white plus black minus" to increase the exposure manually.

2, the correct use of natural light

Natural light is divided into three main kinds of light: front light, back light and side light. When shooting a snow scene, we usually use backward light and side light, because if we use forward light, the picture will be too bright, the scenery will be dazzling, and there will be no texture and layering.

3. Choose the right filter

When shooting a snow scene, it is suggested to use a polarizer, which can effectively eliminate reflection and strengthen the absorption of blue-violet light without affecting other colors, thus making the blue sky bluer and the snow whiter.

4. Choose the right shooting time.

In the prime time of shooting the sunrise and sunset snow scene, the cold and warm colors of the snow scene are rich and the color contrast is strong. Shooting against the light or side light at sunrise can show the whiteness of snow; Shooting at sunset can show the warmth of sunset and the beauty of ice and snow.

5. Simplify the pictures appropriately

When the earth, trees and houses are covered with ice and snow, the picture becomes very simple. You can use this scene to highlight the minimalist snow scene when shooting. High and low color temperatures can be used to highlight the beauty of the snow scene, and the audience's imagination can be stimulated by the change of the depth of single tone.

CPL filter can better highlight the color of the sky and the level of clouds, make the blue of the blue sky appear bluer and purer on the picture, and make the white snow and ice picture more prominent.

Using the medium gray gradient filter GND can balance the exposure, highlight the color of the sky and make the picture more vivid.
