How to shoot the rain

First, choose a scene with heavy raindrops and a certain wind force. Raindrops are large, and the formed raindrops are obvious. The wind can make raindrops drift sideways. It is best for raindrops to have a certain inclination angle in the picture, and the line structure is more beautiful and dynamic. This kind of picture is rainy.

Second, to show the state of rain, it is generally not appropriate to choose a large area of gray sky as the background, which will make the rain "disappear" in a bright background, but should choose dark objects as the background, such as dark mountains, plants, buildings, bird clouds and so on. In order to clearly set off the transparent and slightly reflective rain. The closer the background is, the easier it is for rain to appear. The farther the background, the bigger the scene, and the rain bars are not easy to appear clearly. Therefore, the scope of the scene taken by shooting the rain scene should not be too large.

Third, when shooting a rain scene, a larger aperture and a slower shutter speed are generally used. Because the light is dark, it is necessary to increase the exposure with a large aperture. In addition, the large aperture and small depth of field make the rain scene clear and the background blurred, which can make it more realistic and highlight the rain scene. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the rain gets on the screen; The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the rain. The general speed is 1/30 seconds or slower.

Fourthly, under the condition of the same raindrop size and shutter speed, the raindrop length obtained by photographic lenses with different focal lengths is different. The longer the focal length of the lens, the longer the raindrops formed on the screen. The shorter the focal length of the lens, the shorter the raindrops formed on the screen. Their relationship is in direct proportion.

Fifth, when shooting a rain scene, we 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 needed intentionally.

6. Backlight shooting, raindrops or raindrops are crystal clear, with rich layering and strong three-dimensional sense. For example, in rainy nights, in front of headlights, under street lamps, at doorways and windows, the rain is particularly bright, clear and full of emotional appeal, which is a good place for us to obtain good backlight effect.
