How to capture snowflakes flying all over the sky with SLR!

Shooting snowflakes flying all over the sky with a SLR, according to the photography experience, we should pay attention to the following points:

1, the shutter speed cannot be fast. The camera adopts shutter priority mode, and the exposure time can be determined as1/60s-1100s, and then it can be adjusted appropriately according to the actual shooting effect and your own needs. At about1100 seconds, the snowflake is still in the shape of a point, while at 1/60 seconds, the nearby snowflake has become a short segment.

2. The background should be dark. Snowflakes are white, so they should stand out with a dark background. If the background is bright, you can't see the flying snowflakes.

3. The shooting range should not be too big. This is not the same as shooting a snow scene. The contrast between the size of snowflakes and the size of surrounding scenery is certain. The shooting range is large, and the proportion of snowflakes is very small. You can only see the snow scene, but you can't see the flying snowflakes. I have taken some large-scale photos. I can see the flying snowflakes when I zoom in, but I can't see the snowflakes when I zoom out on the computer screen. If you cut off a part to enlarge it, you might as well shoot a small area directly to make it clearer.

Step 4 focus. There must be nearby snowflakes within the depth of field. With autofocus, the focus should be on the nearby scenery. If there is no suitable close-up view, it is easy to focus on the distant scenery. At this time, you can switch to manual focusing, and you can clearly see the snowflakes flying nearby from the viewfinder. The reason for shooting nearby snowflakes is "near big and far small", and only nearby snowflakes can be bigger. Moreover, the nearby snowflakes have a large angular velocity, which makes it easier to form a sense of flying.

5, to shoot flying snowflakes, it is easy to shoot when the snow is heavy. But in snowy days, there is only diffuse light, which is easy to be dull. When shooting, you can choose some close-ups of snow and people wearing bright clothes to enhance the atmosphere.

6. The last trick is to pay attention to protect photographic equipment from getting wet when shooting in snowy days.

How to maintain SLR:

1. Many people like to take sunscreen and mosquito repellent when shooting outdoors to avoid sun exposure and mosquito bites. But these two things, for your camera, will cause damage; Because sunscreen is oily, mosquito repellent contains chemicals, which will cause irreparable damage to sensitive parts such as camera lenses and sensors.

So when shooting outdoors, be sure to wash your hands that have been exposed to sunscreen and mosquito repellent with clear water in time, so as to ensure that your camera will not be damaged by them.

One more thing, please don't put the camera in a bag with sunscreen and mosquito repellent. If this kind of thing leaks out, the life of your camera will be over soon. Therefore, please prepare a sealed bag to seal the liquid substance.

2. Some parts of the digital camera are movable. If sand enters the camera, it will quickly get stuck in the camera or scratch many parts.

Therefore, where there is sand, you must take good care of your camera; You can cover the camera with a sealed bag, remember to turn off the camera, and there should be no sand on your clothes.

Of course, the above measures are far from enough to protect the camera in a sandy environment. You must look around to see if anyone is playing football, throwing a frisbee, or there is a strong wind. If so, you should consider not taking out your camera to use.

In addition to sand, dust is also a great weapon to destroy the camera. Dust does not scratch the internal parts of the camera like sand, which makes the SLR camera unable to work. It generally just pollutes your lens and image sensor, making it impossible for you to take high-quality photos.

Water can do harm to your camera in various ways, and the most serious harm is that it can end the life of the camera in an instant. So when using the camera, be sure to observe the surrounding environment and keep the camera away from the water.

Moisture can also damage the camera. Generally, when the camera is wet outside, when you move it from one temperature to another, it will produce moisture. One solution is to put the camera in a plastic bag when you move from one temperature to another. In fact, this solution is not practical. Never put your camera in a plastic bag.

When used in humid environment, in order to avoid the damage of humidity to the camera, you can only try to keep the camera warm and wipe it regularly.
