What should I pay attention to when taking wedding photos at night?

1, the way to fill the light

When it comes to shooting night scenes, the most important thing is the treatment of light. In addition to the clever application of ambient light, it is often necessary to use various artificial light sources to supplement the light. The core principle of fill light is to ensure that the main characters are eye-catching and the skin color is restored normally, but also to balance the contrast between the characters and the environment and ensure the reasonable expression of the whole environmental atmosphere. However, the light changes greatly at night, so if you want to make the whole picture have a better visual effect, you need to consider exposure separately. The usual habit is to use built-in parameters to control the rendering effect of the environment, and use external lighting equipment to control the light of the characters and some important details in the environment.

2. Noise control

Night scene shooting often uses higher ISO, especially long exposure can easily increase the noise of the picture. It is recommended to shoot in RAW format. The white balance adjustment of RAW format is basically intact, and the night scene is more obvious. The color of the light itself will be more eye-catching in the night photos and will occupy a large proportion in the picture. This is because the light at night is not strong, and the color performance of non-luminous body is weak. Long exposure will make the color of the light strengthen. Therefore, effective color control can greatly improve the quality of night scenes.
