Shooting skills of reflection in rain

Yesterday was summer. In a sense, autumn has come slowly. Many cities have experienced a thunderstorm, and the wet reflection is the tail of a rainy day. Whether it is sunny or rainy, nature has its unique charm, and our inspiration for shooting will be inspired. Photographer Yodamanu noticed the magic of reflection in rainy days and shot a series of works called "reflection".

There is a shallow layer of rain on the smooth asphalt road, and different people walk back and forth in the reflection. The small vortex formed by raindrops is integrated with fallen leaves, traffic lights, shopping malls, zebra crossings and other scenery, which is constantly changing, sometimes blurred and sometimes clear. This constant reflection has become so romantic and interesting, which is reality and nothingness. These wonderful pictures can only be seen on rainy days. The' world' we see from another angle is untouchable, but it is real. Every photo is like a hazy oil painting, poetic and beautiful.

The key skill of taking this kind of photos is to master the shooting angle. Only by grasping the principle of light reflection and thinking about the angle according to the position of the subject can we shoot an image close to the real color. It is not recommended to use a polarizer to avoid weakening the special effect of reflection. Contrary to the common composition technique that takes the real scene as the main body and the virtual scene as the auxiliary, this kind of image takes the reflection in the water as the main body, reverses the photo and shows a different world. City lights, pedestrians' clothing, different styles of umbrellas and gray-blue sky, which are usually unremarkable in our eyes, will become a special and romantic charm in the world of reflection.

When it rains again, don't rush to hide from the rain, try to record the world from another angle. In addition, before going out, in addition to wearing a raincoat, remember to waterproof your camera!
