How to shoot changeable clouds

Lead: Cloud is the condensation of wet places in the sky, which will condense, move and dissipate with the weather changes in the sky. Clouds are really beautiful, with many different images. Generally, there are floating clouds, blossoming clouds, fish scale clouds, sheet clouds, strip clouds, stratus clouds and flaming clouds.

How to shoot a changeable cloud People who like to shoot scenery especially like clouds. A landscape note is more beautiful because there are clouds. Many good scenery often lacks clouds in the sky, which makes the sky on the picture too empty and fly in the ointment, and even affects the structure and tone balance of the picture.

Clouds can not only increase the beauty of the scene and balance the picture, but also show the season and climate of the scene with different cloud images. For example, thin clouds in spring morning, stratus clouds that can't condense in summer, beautiful fish scale clouds in autumn and sparse strip clouds in early winter; Clouds in the morning and clouds in the evening, beautiful clouds in the wind, fiery red clouds on the eve of typhoon, dark clouds coming in the storm and so on. , representing every different season, climate and time. Even though the scenery itself has no obvious time characteristics, because there are clouds in the scenery, we can know what season it is to repair the climate from the images of clouds. Clouds are diverse and have different images. We use white clouds to set off the scenery, and we should also pay attention to whether the image of white clouds is suitable for the scenery. For example, if there are obvious horizontal stripes, don't use horizontal stripes as a foil, otherwise it will make the picture produce more horizontal lines, which will make the picture dull and the lines unchanged. Another example is taking white clouds with the same size as the main body of the scene, which will also cause the separation of the guest and the host. Therefore, we must pay attention to the image of white clouds as a foil, which is obviously different from the main object, in order to make the picture vivid and touching.

Secondly, the white clouds have no deep and shallow levels, and are not suitable for any scenery, let alone as the main body. Generally, white clouds with strong layering are mostly produced in the morning or afternoon when the sun is slanting. Therefore, shooting scenery in oblique sunlight is the most suitable companion to make use of the white clouds in the sky. The image of the cloud is constantly changing with the wind. We should seize the opportunity and be patient to get a good Yun Guan. However, attention should be paid to the use of color filters, color plus polarizer, and yellow and orange filters for black and white photography.

Shooting a scene with various fog layers or haze layers can make the perspective change of the scene closer or farther. It can also make the color of the scene change deeply or shallowly, giving the scene rich layers. When the morning fog has not been evaporated and dissipated by the heat of the sun, and the peaks of each mountain are prominent above the morning fog, the mountain scenery with backlight will be photographed. Because there are morning fog with different thicknesses in the far and near mountains, the fog layer irradiated by backlight is very bright. As long as the main mountain layers nearby are used as the exposure basis, rich and colorful photos will naturally appear.

Clouds often move in the direction of the wind on the mountain, but sometimes they stay on the mountainside or only show the peaks. There are layers of fog in the forest, and sunlight shines into the forest from the space with sparse branches and leaves, producing sunset rays. This kind of different light changes the projection direction and angle with the height of the sun, showing bright and dark beams. These changes in natural scenery have created favorable conditions for us to shoot mountain scenery. As long as we are in the landscape and grasp the natural changes of the landscape in time, we can take high-quality landscape photos with strong artistic sense.

Sunset occurs in the evening. Because there is less humidity in the evening space, it is often weaker than the fog in the morning. If you shoot a scene with sunset glow, the distant scene will show the atmosphere of sunset glow, and the scene with a shorter distance will be like no sunset glow. If you shoot the sunset scene with backlight, the place with sunset will show the shallow level of the scene like the scene with morning fog. When the backlight illuminates the sunset scene, the nearby scene is easily influenced by the light of the distant sunset scene because there is no smog, so it is underexposed. Therefore, when shooting summer static, if the nearby scenery is the main body, the nearby area should be used as the photometric standard. Sometimes when shooting a distant sunset scene, we need to zoom in with a long focal length lens to make the scene occupy a larger area on the screen.

Rainy days are the least favorite weather for photographers. Whether it is heavy rain or light rain, few people take a camera to take pictures of the scenery outside, and some even think that it is impossible to take pictures of the scenery on rainy days.

As we all know, you can take pictures with light. You can shoot night scenes at night, of course, you can also shoot rain scenes during the day, and you can also shoot dynamic rain scenes, even rainy nights. Rainy scenery also has its unique emotional appeal, not to mention rainy days are also an indispensable scene in people's lives. In order to reflect more life scenes and enrich the content of scenery, rain scene is also an essential subject for our shooting.

When shooting a rain scene, in order to show the rain stripes in the rain scene in the photo, in addition to choosing heavy rain, it is necessary to have a dark background as a foil. If the background of the rainy scene is the sky, then the rainy sky must be white and dense clouds. Even if it rains heavily, it can't appear because the background and rain bars are white. The closer the background is, the more prone it is to rain bars. The farther the background, the bigger the scene, and the rain bars are not easy to appear clearly. Therefore, the shooting range of the rain scene should not be too large, and it is more important to avoid the white sky occupying most of the picture and affecting the performance of rain bars in the scene.

When it rains, the brightness of the scenery is generally weak. Therefore, when shooting a rain scene, it is generally necessary to use a larger aperture and a slower shutter speed, so that the rain scene has sufficient sensitivity. In order to show the rain bars that have not yet landed in the scene space and master the dynamics in the rain, we should shoot at a higher position. Generally, when shooting a rain scene with the shutter speed of 1/60s, the rain bars that have not yet landed in the space can be exposed. If the rain stripes in the rain scene space are short when shooting with shutter speed, a longer rain scene can be obtained with a slower shutter speed, and the dynamics in the scene may not be clear enough.

Shooting a scene in light rain, because there is not enough light rain in the scene, it is impossible to show rain stripes. However, when Mao Mao rain is used to shoot dark Woods or mountain layers, because there is no sunshine in the scenery, the objects in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone are all colored, and Mao Mao rain will be like a fog layer between dark objects, showing a far-shallow and near-deep color. If the framing range is not very large, you can also show a misty rain scene in the scene with the brightness of nearby objects as the exposure tone. Every summer, there is often a sudden heavy rain under the sun, which is the best time to shoot the rain scene. When shooting a scene in heavy rain, the camera lens is easily wet by rain. This should be considered in advance before shooting, and rain-proof preparation tools should be prepared.

Snow is white crystal. When it is scattered or piled up on the scene, the objects with different shades in the scene are covered by it and become white objects. Therefore, the snow scene is a scene with more white parts, which can give people a lovely feeling of white. It is precisely because the white part of the snow scene occupies a larger area and is brighter than other scenery, and it is brighter when there is sunlight. It is also more sensitive to the light on the film than ordinary scenery. Snow is a transparent crystal, and its texture can be clearly displayed only in a far place. Therefore, in order to show the light and dark level of the snow scene and the transparent texture of the snow particles near it, it is most appropriate to shoot the snow scene with backlight or backlight. So even the foreground has a far-reaching atmosphere because of the backlight or side backlight. If you shoot the snow scene with front light or top light, because of the relationship between light level and vertical light, not only can you not make the snow-white fine-grained object have light and shade levels and texture, but it will make the object lose its three-dimensional sense. Backlight or sidelight shines on the snow scene with a large white area, and objects of other colors will inevitably become black objects if they are not covered by snow. In order to make snow and other objects appear in layers in the snow scene, soft sunlight must be used to shoot the snow scene.

When I'm sleeping, shooting a snow scene, just like shooting in the rain, must have a dark background as a foil, so it's easy to show the flying snowflakes. If you shoot a wide range of sky scenery, you can only see some snowflakes in front of dark objects, and other snowflakes can't appear.

In order to make the blue sky not too white, you can use color filters (polarizers) when shooting snow scenes in the sun.

In order to get a more concise picture of the snow scene and clearly show the levels and lines of the objects in the snow, we can choose local scenery with beautiful lines, and use soft backlight and side backlight to fully show the levels and lines of the objects in the snow, so as to obtain a more beautiful snow scene.

When the sun just rises from the horizon or is about to set in the west, there is a certain sunrise or sunset on the ground to cover the light scattered by the sun, and a round sun without light scattering appears. This is the time to shoot sunrise or sunset. When the sun just rises or just sets, there are often some colored clouds on the horizon against the light in the sky. We can wait until the sun clouds have no light scattering before shooting the sunrise or sunset. This can not only avoid the halo on the negative caused by sun scattering, but also make the scene in the sky not only have a lonely sun.

When the sun has just risen or is about to set off on the mountain layer, because there is no reflection of water between mountains, it is in complete contrast with the black tone of the sky with the sun. Therefore, when shooting a sunrise or sunset scene on a mountain, only when clouds cover part of the sun or enlarge or increase the exposure of the sky can the colors of the sky and the mountains be more balanced.

It is also common that there are no clouds in the sky when the sun has just risen or is about to set. In order to avoid the sky being too monotonous, using some sparse leaves and branches as the foreground of the empty sky can help balance the structure of the scene. But if there are too many branches or leaves, it will cover most of the sky and affect the balance of the picture.

There is not much difference between the image and tone of the sun in the morning and evening. If you want to distinguish between sunrise and sunset from photos, you should distinguish them by scenery and color, because the sky on the horizon is generally clear in the morning in Wan Li, and when the sun rises, it will quickly disperse the light. At dusk, the sky on the horizon is generally cloudy, and there is no scattered light when the sun is far from the horizon. As far as hue is concerned, the sky is red with yellow in the morning and magenta in the evening.

Therefore, when shooting the sunrise, you should shoot it as soon as the sun comes out of the horizon, and you can't miss it. Shooting the sunset can start when there is no light scattering, and it can only be taken with confidence when it is about to enter the horizon.
