How to shoot the beam?

1, streamer generated by sunlight; 2. Stage lighting; 3, ordinary light source (such as flashlight lighting, etc.). ). The main things that can give people a strong sense of beam are shed light and stage lighting. 1. Use manual exposure mode. In my experience, only in manual mode can you expose according to the photographer's intention, instead of giving it to the camera for exposure in aperture priority mode. This kind of camera often measures more light automatically than manual exposure, which leads to overexposure. 2. Use spot metering. Spot metering will darken the background and highlight the light beam, which can distinguish the light and dark parts more accurately and clearly. When metering, we should pay special attention to an important issue, that is, metering position, which is the key to ensure accurate exposure. I often put the metering point at the edge where the light source contacts with objects, such as people under stage lighting, and measure a little inside the edge of the face, so as to ensure that the face is exposed clearly and the light beam will not be too bright to lose its texture. Of course, the position I'm talking about is a general position. As for the specific shooting, we can take more photos according to the specific lighting conditions and find out the best exposure parameters, which is also necessary. 3. Try to use a tripod. If possible, try to use a tripod, especially under the stage lighting. The light source is often very complicated and needs a tripod to stabilize the camera. 4. Find a good shooting angle. The purpose of choosing a good shooting angle is to apply light correctly. In the application of light, side backlight or side backlight is generally used, and backlight is also used, but it is difficult to grasp. Use less forward light, so that the objects in the forward light are bright and lack of contrast between light and shade. I think it should also be pointed out that don't shoot with the overhead flash that comes with the camera, which is often a way that novices like to use. Improper use will destroy the texture of the work. As for some people who say to shoot with a small aperture, I haven't realized the necessity of using a small aperture, so I won't say it here. What is discussed above is the shooting method in general. If you are a professional or a photographer, you can also take the following measures to enhance the beam effect of your work: 6. Make full use of objects such as gaps between leaves and trees. In these objects, it will be easier to shoot the beam effect. 7, conditional can artificially fill the light of the subject. For example, the application of reflector often has a good effect. 8. use RAW format. When shooting in RAW format, my biggest feeling is that it is more convenient to adjust the color temperature of the work, and it is easier to adjust the warm color of the light to make the work more delicious. Let's take my previous works as an example to say in detail: (Because of the time problem, I practiced more when I first learned photography, so we will wait and see. Enough to explain the problem) 1. Color bleeding light generated by sunlight: Figure 1- 1. I shot Swan Lake 1-2 in Yantai Yandunjiao. I waited for about half an hour at Jinshanling Great Wall and took a photo of 1-3. I took this photo in Jiang Xiaodong, Chenzhou, Hunan, when the dawn was coming. The picture 1-4, taken with a heavy tripod in a hurry, was also taken in Jiang Xiaodong, Chenzhou, Hunan. 2. Stage lighting: Figure 2- 1. Attended a concert in Wuxi Grand Theatre for Mr. Lin Guzhen, the head of Qinyuan Chinese Orchestra in Taiwan Province Province and a famous artist. 2-2. Go to Wuxi Grand Theatre for a concert. Photographed for Mr. Lin Guzhen, the head of Taiwan Province Qinyuan National Orchestra and a famous artist. 3. Ordinary light source: Figure 3- 1, the scene of pilgrims praying in Linze Temple, Canglang Garden, Shanting, Zaozhuang (fireworks bunching). Figure 3-2, the scene of pilgrims praying in Linze Temple, Canglang Garden, Shanting, Zaozhuang, about 1. We took pictures of our daughter together at night in East Lake Park, Zaozhuang. Figure 3-4 Lantern in Zaozhuang People's Park on the 15th day of the first month (using the method of fast zooming to get the light beam) 4. Using smoke: Figure 4- 1, taken in Confucian Teahouse (light beam formed by steam) Figure 4-2, the scene of pilgrims praying in Lin Ze Temple at Canglang Edge of Zaozhuang Mountain Pavilion (sunlight forms a strong light beam under the action of fireworks) Figure 4-3, taken in Lin Ze Temple at Canglang Edge of Zaozhuang Mountain Pavilion. Make full use of leaves gaps, forest gaps and other objects: Figure 5- 1, I shot it in Jiang Xiaodong, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, at the moment when the shed light was about to disappear, Figure 5-2, I shot it at the edge of a virgin forest in Bashang, Hebei Province (sunshine at about 6: 00 in the morning) 6, application of reflector: Figure 6- 1, application of reflector to fill the light on the model's face (. Figure 7-2, taken in the ancient city of Taierzhuang Canal, was later adjusted by image-adjustment-shadow/highlight; Figure 7-3, Yicheng, Zaozhuang City.
