How to shoot the rain scene

It is easy to get an elegant and hazy effect when taking pictures in rainy days. Because of the reflection of rain, the distant scenery is bright and the image is hazy, and the scenery in the picture has a strong tone and a unique flavor.

1. Exposure shot in rainy days

The light changes in rainy days are very complicated. Sometimes, like cloudy days, the brightness is very low, the sense of direction of light is unclear, and sometimes the brightness of rainy scenes is very high. The exposure between the two can be different by many times. Therefore, when shooting, it is best to use exposure meter photometry.

When shooting in rainy days, we usually take the method of reducing the exposure, that is, reducing the exposure by one step to one and a half steps according to the normal exposure, which is helpful to improve the contrast of the picture. Because water droplets, water droplets and water traces are almost transparent, it is easy to lose the texture of "water" due to overexposure in dark environment. There is often overexposure when shooting in rainy days. The contrast of rainy scenery is small, and overexposure will make the contrast smaller, so the picture taken is gray.

2. shutter speed when shooting a rain scene

the shutter speed when shooting a rain scene should not be too high, because high speed will freeze the rain and form small spots without the feeling of rain. If the shutter speed is too slow, the rain will stretch into long strips, and the effect is not good. Generally speaking, it is better to use the speed of 1/3 second to 1/6 second. At this time, the shutter speed is not high, which can emphasize the movement when the rain falls. We can try to shoot with reference to the law that the rain is slow and slow, and the rain is fast and high.

3. The distance between the lens and the raindrops when shooting

When shooting a rain scene, you should pay attention to the distance between the lens and the raindrops. When the raindrop is too close to the camera, a small raindrop will also cover the distant scenery. Of course, sometimes this special effect is intentionally needed. Be careful that the camera can't get wet in the rain, and don't splash rain on the lens. Generally, you can cover the camera with an umbrella or put it in a plastic bag, and expose the lens and the framing part

4. Attention should be paid to shooting rain scenes:

1. When shooting rain scenes, the bright rain can be highlighted on a dark background, and the sky or light-colored scenery should not be used as the background.

2. The layers of ripples caused by raindrops falling on the water will be a good shooting point in the rain scene.

3. indoors, if you want to show the outdoor rain scene through the window, you can coat a thin layer of oil on the outdoor glass window, so that the water drops are easy to hang on the glass and render the rainy atmosphere.

4. When shooting a rainy night scene, the picture will be very vivid because of the reflection of the lamp light and the reflection of the water on the ground. Especially, when shooting with color film, the color effect of rainy night scenes is more abundant than that of ordinary night scenes.
