How to prevent the reflection platform from reflecting the camera when taking photos

When shooting at night, each scene has its own unique features that are different from other scenes. These different landscapes are inseparable from certain surrounding environments and conditions, and they complement each other. The effect of mutual echo. As a result, the characteristics of the scenery itself are more distinct and prominent. These characteristics are often reflected in content, form, scale, geographical environment, climate and other aspects. To grasp these characteristics, sometimes we first need to understand the internal conditions of the photographed object, which ones are primary, which are secondary, as well as the activity patterns, etc. Here are several scenes that play different roles in night scene photography. 1. Light (or moonlight) Light (or moonlight) is often an important component of night sceneries. It is also the main light source for night scene photography. Without lights or with scarce lights, objects cannot be expressed, or the expression is unclear. With enough lighting, not only can the physical appearance be layered, but the picture can also be made brighter and clearer. Flowing lights (car lights, ship lights and other movable lights) can present stripes of light (i.e. light pillars) on the film, which can add atmosphere to the content and achieve better effects on the picture. 2. On rainy days and foggy days (or weather with humid air), the lighting on rainy and foggy days can create a beautiful halo in photos. The color of the sky is caused by the water vapor in the air being affected by the lighting, and sometimes reflecting other colors. On the screen, if shot with color film, the effect will be more obvious. Because the asphalt road or smooth ground on a rainy day can show the reflection of objects and lights, the result will be more vivid. 3. Water sometimes plays a certain role in night scenes. Buildings by the sea, rivers and ponds. Due to the reflective effect of water, it can increase the brightness of the lights on the shore or around it, bring out the outline of the scene, and add a lot of life to the picture. When shooting at night, mastering characteristics, choosing angles and utilizing natural conditions are closely related. In other words, the choice of angle must be based on the characteristics of the subject and the natural environment of the scene. The three aspects of mastering the characteristics, selecting the angle, and using the natural environment must obey the requirements of the subject and cannot be done in isolation. The quality of angle selection also has a great impact on expressing the theme and highlighting its characteristics. For example, a night view of a construction site that shows the huge scale of the project is better from a high angle. To express the tallness and majesty of the building, a low angle is more appropriate. Choose the angle and pay attention to the camera position. Under normal circumstances, the sky at night on a clear day is bright in the west and dark in the east. Looking from east to west, the water is white, and the reflection of the water is not much different from the light of the sky; looking from west to east, the reflection ability of the water is very weak and appears gray. When shooting night scenes in the evening, the effect is better when shooting from east to west, while when shooting in the opposite direction at dawn, the effect is better. For example, on rainy or cloudy days, there is no need to consider these issues. How to shoot night scenes 1. Night scenes of construction sites. Construction sites generally refer to reservoirs, power stations, mines, bridges, factories, buildings, etc. that are under construction in the wild. The following points should be paid attention to when shooting: (1) According to the characteristics of the project, the shooting angle should be determined in advance. Understand the relevant situations during the day and the patterns of night activities; (2) Choose the appropriate shooting time. It is best to shoot this type of subject when the project reaches its climax, when the face of the large-scale and tense project is basically visible; (3) Pay attention Use the surrounding natural conditions - mountains, water, trees, bridges, buildings, etc.; (4) The sky should not be exposed to too much light; (5) When expressing the scene, the angle should be high rather than low; (6) One or more exposures. 2. Photographing city street night scenes. Photographing city streets can be done during festivals or at ordinary times. It is generally better to take pictures during festivals. Because during the festival, streets, shops, cityscapes, and windows are organized and decorated. Larger buildings have also been added with colored lights, neon lights and slogans, and the demolished images will look more prosperous and beautiful. The angle should be chosen appropriately. Too high or too low angles can easily deform the roadside buildings. The camera should be placed in a place that is not easily collided and does not hinder traffic. It is better to choose a location with concentrated lights, concentrated vehicles, concentrated buildings, and a place with certain characteristics. 3. Shooting fireworks. Shooting fireworks in night scenes cannot be as easy as shooting at a construction site. It is more stressful. During the entire process of shooting fireworks, set up the half-camera. When the fireworks are about to rise, open door B and let them bloom and float in the night sky within the shooting range until they go out, so that the entire process is recorded on the film. In the shooting part, after the fireworks start, open the shutter when the flowers are about to bloom or bloom, and capture the most representative moment. You can shoot with the multiple exposure method, using the same negative film and exposing it in two or more times. When shooting fireworks, the exposure time can be shorter, and when shooting ground scenes, the exposure time can be longer. In addition, it can also be shot separately with two negatives, that is, one negative is used to shoot fireworks, and the other negative is used to shoot ground scenes and people. The exposure times are different. After they are developed, stack the two films together and make sure that the fireworks and scenery you want to shoot are not in the middle of the film. It is best to have the fireworks on the top of the film and the scenery on the bottom of the film. It saves you a lot of trouble when enlarging the negatives together. 4. Photograph the moonscape. To photograph the moonlight scene, you can use the following methods: (1) Use a long exposure to photograph the scene illuminated by the moonlight alone; use a short exposure to photograph the moon alone, and then stack the two negatives. Zoom together. (2) When exposing a piece of film, use your hand to cover the moon on the lens (it is best to try it before shooting to prevent the scenery from being blocked), and wait until the last few seconds of exposure are reached. Move your hands away to expose the moon on the film.

5. Shooting night scenes and portraits At night, it is also very interesting to shoot night scenes and portraits, which is a different kind of lifestyle photography
