Shooting skills of slow door night scene

Many novices buy cameras to take pictures of night scenes, but they always make a mess. They don't know how to shoot the night scene correctly. What I brought to you this time is the skill of slow shooting night scenes. Let's have a look.

Since it is a slow door shooting, I believe everyone should have the knowledge of the necessary tripod. Here, I suggest that all photographers start with a tripod, which will definitely help your photography career. S bought a tripod twice, once as a student, and didn't have much money. He bought the most basic plastic version for tens of dollars, but it has been used for many years. Although the plastic tripod looks rubbish, it is extremely cheap, and it is good to make do with it at a critical time.

No matter how poor you are, it won't be difficult to buy a tripod for photography. It can be solved in one meal. The second time, when Mr. S had a little budget, he bought Sirui A 1005, which happened to be on sale, otherwise he still couldn't do it (everyone's financial situation was different). Generally speaking, the weight is moderate, and all aspects of performance such as the number of knots and the maximum height meet the requirements of ordinary players. It is indeed a good choice with high cost performance.

Tripod is the major premise. With this premise, you can start playing slow door. The so-called slow door is the shooting of exponential second exposure time. Whether you use a SLR camera or a mirrorless cameras, the shooting method is similar, but there are many ways to play the slow door, so you need to master the basic points.

There is no doubt that a wide-angle lens is used in the choice of focal length and lens. The slow shooting of ordinary night scenes does not require a large aperture, so the threshold is relatively low. And in actual shooting, the aperture is f/ 1 1 or even smaller, and with a low ISO value, a "slow" shutter can be realized. If the brightness of the photo taken by the slow door is not what you want, you can change the effect according to the situation. If the ISO is low enough to change, please continue to reduce the aperture or speed up the shutter when it is too bright. (When the aperture is reduced to f/22 at most, f/32 will affect the image quality. )

The advantage of the slow door for night shooting is that even if there is a shadow in front of your camera, it will not stay in the photo. SLR cameras are best advised to shoot with countdown shutter time or remote shutter. You can shoot immediately without manually pressing the shutter button. If you decide to shoot with a tripod, you can safely remove the anti-shake function of the lens.

You must shoot more shots and practice more. Most of the works of Great God on the Internet are post-produced, so it is normal for you to feel that there is no big painting style when you shoot them. The most important thing is that you must be satisfied with your composition, and the clarity of the scene should be high enough (not shaking at all). The color of the picture depends on your camera brand. Every camera manufacturer has a different definition of color. For example, Fuji camera itself is excellent. Maybe you don't need PS to add color after shooting, which is already very good.
