I use a SLR camera. What are the skills of backlight photography?

1, multiple exposures. It refers to fixing the camera with a tripod, making sure the composition is focused and taking two photos. One is to measure the light spot of the face and expose the face correctly. In the second picture, the sun or background is measured and the background exposure is correct. The last two overlapping faces were correctly exposed by PS and grafted on the background one by one.

2, flash fill light, you can choose internal flash or external flash.

Step 3 use a reflector.

4. Balance the two photometric values, that is, if the correct exposure of the face needs to go to F2.8 and the correct exposure of the background needs to go to F5.6, then adjust the aperture to? F4? Balance the existing values of two points and take the middle existing value.

5. shoot Raw format. In the later period, PS will restore the high light and highlight the medium light.

6. You can try to use a circular polarization filter or a polarizer.

Extended data:

Attention should be paid to when shooting:

1, central key measurement. Central focus metering is to avoid shooting without a fixed theme. Because it is backlight shooting, although the light is very strong, shooting without a range will make the tone of the whole photo dull. This method is to find the center and focus.

2. Find a good angle. The shooting angle can be changed at will. Backlight is one aspect of shooting, but other angles may be smoother or have a strong light sense, so you can find a clearer picture from different angles.

Single-lens reflex camera means that the photographic exposure light path and the framing light path * * * use one lens, unlike paraxial cameras or double reflex cameras, the framing light path has independent lenses.

"Reflection" means that a plane mirror in the camera separates the two light paths: the mirror falls when taking a view, reflects the light of the lens to the pentaprism, and then reflects it to the viewing window. When shooting, lift the reflector quickly, and the light can shine on the film or photosensitive element CMOS or CCD.
