It's not easy to take pictures in rainy days? Only by mastering these five skills can you make a good film in rainy days.

Shoot pedestrians on the street in rainy days.

Rainy cities and sunny days have different atmospheres, and rainy days also have their own melancholy. Pedestrians walking under umbrellas, people working in the rain, people running in the rain, everyone in the rain has their own stories. When sweeping the street at this time, you may see many pictures that you can't usually see.

Night view on rainy days

In the city where it rained, the night became more beautiful, with the reflection of traffic and the fog of neon lights in the rain. It is rare to see it at ordinary times, and the scene of rainy night is more gentle and delicate than sunny day. When shooting at night in rainy days, pay attention to finding the color of light, highlight the contrast between cold and warm colors in the picture, and have more visual impact.

It's a common way to shoot the night scene through the glass. Let raindrops serve as the foreground and blur the lights in the background, so that you can get a charming night view photo. When you shoot a mobile phone, you just need to focus on the water droplets on the window, so that the background will be blurred and the flashing neon lights are actually very simple.

Rainy nights are the easiest way to shoot charming attractions, create a picture of contrast between reality and reality, and make the rainy atmosphere stronger.

Raindrops/drops

Just now, we talked about shooting streets through glass with water droplets as the foreground. Raindrops or water droplets can also be used as the main scene of the picture. Raindrops on glass, raindrops on umbrellas, raindrops and ripples in pools and raindrops on plants are all worth shooting.

It is particularly important to note that the shooting range should be as small as possible, and you can shoot local small scenes, close-ups and special features of water droplets, so as to better highlight water droplets as the theme in the picture.

Angle of reflection

On rainy days, the ground is wet, and there are reflections where there are beaches. This is the photographer's favorite scene. On sunny days, I also bring my own mineral water as a reflection, and it can be seen everywhere on rainy days, which has a better sense of artistic conception. Using reflective composition, the visual angle is different from the conventional visual angle, and it can also produce novel and unique visual effects.

It should be noted that when shooting a reflection, you should take a low-altitude view, squat down and keep your mobile phone as close to the water as possible. The lower the viewing angle, the more prominent the reflection will be. You should also look for scenery with people or buildings as the main body in the reflection picture. If street scenes or buildings are the main body, try to find more prominent buildings; Taking people as the main body, it is best to take pictures in advance and get ready for shooting. When people enter the picture, they will press the shutter to shoot, which can greatly improve the shooting efficiency.

umbrella

Umbrella is a shooting prop that needs to be prepared separately in sunny days, but in rainy days, passers-by have umbrellas and we can see them everywhere. Photos about umbrellas are also a subject worth shooting.

Umbrellas come in different colors, such as black, red, colored and transparent. The color of the umbrella can be compared with the line, shape, street view and even the color between umbrellas. When shooting, you can focus on the contrast between the umbrella and the surrounding scenery to make a composition.

Although rainy days can make people feel depressed, there are many subjects to shoot, especially street shooting. There are also moments worth recording in trivial daily life, only a pair of eyes that are good at discovering.

The light is weak in rainy days, so the exposure can be increased appropriately when shooting. In the very dark scene, you can use the professional mode of mobile phone to extend the shutter speed, which can improve the exposure of the picture. In the later retouching, we can adjust the brightness according to the brightness of the picture to make up for the underexposure.

Scenes taken in rainy days are very rich. I hope this article can help you find some ideas and inspiration for shooting in rainy days, and I also look forward to your submission of rainy days photography works. Next time it rains, try the five shooting methods explained today.
