Introduction to shooting sunset skills

Throughout the ages, many literati and poets have moved to other places, their ambitions are hard to pay, and their hearts are depressed. When they saw the golden sunset on the horizon, they suddenly thought of their own situation, and their hearts were full of beautiful stories and emotions.

"to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night" is helpless. At that time, some scholars expressed their feelings about the sunset. Now, times have changed, and we have a new view of sunset. "Go and see the sun, even though it is brilliant, even though it is near dusk."

Seeing such a spectacular sunset, we can't help but pick up the camera in our hands and leave this beautiful scene, but the result is often unsatisfactory. At this time, we always complain about how our mobile phone checks pixels and how dim the light is.

Actually, this is not the main reason. The main thing is that you haven't found the skills yet. Then, next, let's learn some sunset shooting skills with Bian Xiao!

First of all, try to shoot in a sunny and cloudy evening.

Try to shoot in a sunny and cloudy evening, so that you can shoot a scene with afterglow, and the clouds in the sky will make your sunset photo icing on the cake.

Second, switch to Av file and set the aperture to F8~F 16.

Switch to Av file (if your camera doesn't have Av file, you can switch to P file, skip this step and go directly to the third step), and set light _ between F8-F 16.

Third, set the sensitivity to 100~400.

Set the sensitivity to 100~400. Low sensitivity can make your photos less noisy, better and more delicate, and avoid rough effects.

Fourth, it is best to use spot metering.

If your camera can't change the metering mode, there is no need to look down, just shoot.

If you can choose, change the focus mode of the camera to central single-point focus, and change the metering mode to spot metering.

After the setting is completed, half press the shutter to focus on the clouds around the sunset, and you can get the sunset effect as shown below. I think this effect can better highlight the wonderful artistic conception of "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night".

pay attention to

After setting to central focus+spot metering, never aim the focus directly at the building or the sun, otherwise the whole picture will appear too bright or too dark.

All right, have you mastered the skills? "When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world", or "The west wind blows away the rain, but the sunshine at the water's edge is still bright", or "I want to embrace the sunset and fly".
