How to shoot the reflection of the scenery in the water

Reflection can add a sense of peace and tranquility to the picture. Some people think that as long as the real scene is near water and lakes. There must be a reaction, but it's not entirely true. In order to get a perfect reflection, a photo usually needs certain conditions. ..... The water should be calm. As the saying goes, "the level is like a mirror", and only the water surface like a mirror can effectively reflect the scenery on the shore. The real scene is best backlit. Even if the water is quiet, the reflection will not be perfect if the lighting conditions are not ideal. Generally speaking, the best light for shooting reflection is weak backlight, followed by side light and diffuse light, and the top light and smooth surface are the most taboo. Under ideal lighting conditions, there will be a strong contrast between the sky and the real scene, and the image projected on the water surface will be clear and distinct. The shooting viewpoint must choose a low angle. The number of reflections on the screen is closely related to the choice of shooting viewpoint. The shooting viewpoint is high, and the reflection appears less; The shooting viewpoint is low, and the reflection appears much more. Similarly, when shooting at a low angle, the reflection appears large and complete. The exposure should be accurate. Reflection is mostly produced on the water surface, and the reflection on the water surface often gives photographers a very bright visual illusion. In fact, the brightness of backlight and reflection in water is not high. When shooting, you can generally refer to the exposure value under the backlight condition, that is, open the aperture 1-2 or slow down the shutter speed 1-2 relative to normal exposure. Because the reflection is often shot on the shore near the water surface, when the shooting angle is low, the lens is easily disturbed by the disorderly reflected light from the water surface, forming a light rush mirror, causing halo phenomenon and affecting the picture. So when shooting, it is best to use a hood for the camera lens.
