Detailed explanation of photography composition skills of night posters

1, the broad momentum of commanding heights: looking for commanding heights, you can climb to the top of the mountain or beach near the lighthouse and look for commanding heights overlooking the panorama. It's easy to look empty when shooting from a height, so pay special attention to composition. Brightly lit docks and houses form the foreground, with Kaohsiung's important landmarks, the Eighth Five-Year Building, the seagoing trail and the Five Mountains of Peking University as the middle scene and the distant sky clouds as the beautiful background. If you use the medium-long focal length, you can also take photos with long artistic conception through the sense of compression and layering.

2. Horizontal line and capturing silhouette: The endless sky by the sea is the ideal background for taking silhouette, and the horizontal line at sea level is more important. It is easy to take a silhouette at the seaside, as long as people appear between the sea and the sky, and then expose them normally according to the sky light conditions. Pay special attention to accurate metering when shooting. At this time, you can use spot metering or central partial average metering mode to measure the sky with moderate brightness above the sun, which can darken the area dyed red by the sun and greatly improve the success rate of exposure. In the foreground, carefully selected silhouettes can be used to enhance the depth of space through the contrast between light and dark, thus setting off the brilliance of the sun.

3. Play the backlit portrait and silhouette effect with the sea as the background: Facing the beautiful sunset, I believe you can't help but pick up the camera and press the shutter to freeze this beautiful moment. When the background is sunset, it is often suitable for taking backlight photos. When shooting the sunset, if you bring a camera, you can choose "sunset mode" to shoot, which will make the light warmer and the overall color yellow, which is very beautiful in the sunset. As for backlight, you can also choose the "backlight mode" shooting of the card machine. However, when taking photos against the light, it is often prone to silhouette effect, which is why different white balances should be set to capture various seaside scenery when facing beautiful seascapes. When shooting seaside scenery, we can also adjust different white balance according to different light, so as to achieve different effects. For example, setting the white balance to direct sunlight, cloudy or even cloudy mode can fill the lens with a warmer sunset or make the photo look cooler. You can try this.
