What exposure should I take for the silhouette?

Silhouette shooting should focus on background exposure.

Shooting is taking pictures of people and things with cameras and video recorders. Different scenes have different shooting techniques, including night scene shooting, rain scene shooting, building shooting, portrait shooting and so on. With the progress of science and technology, shooting has become more and more simple and popular.

Night scene shooting

Shooting night scenes mainly refers to the scenery under outdoor lighting or natural light at night. When shooting, lights, firelight, moonlight, neon lights and shuttle cars on the street are the main light sources. When shooting, we must first keep the atmosphere at night and the authenticity of the lighting. We should use tripods, cable release and other accessories, and use one or more exposure forms.

When shooting a clear scene, the aperture should be smaller, and the shutter should be placed on the B door or the T door. According to the brightness of light, the film can be exposed in sunlight, and it can also use films with higher sensitivity such as ISO50, ISO64, ISO 100. The exposure time of low-sensitivity film can be longer, and the particles of the film will be finer after shooting. Can perfectly show the beauty of the night.

Rainy days are the least favorite weather for photographers. Whether it is heavy rain or light rain, few people take a camera to take pictures of the scenery outside, and some even think that it is impossible to take pictures of the scenery on rainy days. As we all know, you can take pictures with light.
