How to shoot seascapes

Hello!

Techniques for shooting seascapes-

In hot summer, many people love to spend their holidays at the seaside, where there are vast seas, rough waves, all kinds of rocks and colorful swimsuit tourists. On the clear water beach, people sit or lie down, or face the waves of the sea, or run and play on the beach. These are excellent photographic subjects.

Portrait photography by the sea, mainly taking swimsuit photos. This photo is dominated by people, with the surrounding scenery and water as a foil. A good swimsuit photo should not only show the curvy beauty of human body shape, but also show the texture of human skin color. Such as graceful female body, handsome and plump male body. Most swimsuit photos are busts and full-length portraits. When shooting, the subject's posture should not be rigid, and he can sit, stand, turn, lie on his side, lie on his back, etc. Also pay attention to the bathing environment, such as parasols, swimming crowds, drifting white clouds and sparkling water. But people should be the main body and others should be the foil.

If you want to take pictures of children splashing water, you'd better take a group. The children are playing with sand by the sea. First of all, stay away from the sea, beaches and children before filming the sand. Then close up the process of children playing with sand. Finally, the finished sand pile and the child's satisfied expression were photographed in the middle distance. Such a set of photos looks more memorable.

When taking photos of seascapes, we should pay attention to highlighting the characteristics of the seaside.

For example, rocks can make the picture curve, and rising clouds, splashing waves and flying seagulls will make the picture more vivid and interesting. Pay attention to using it up when shooting. With backlight, you can shoot realistic spray and spot effects; Side light can better reflect the level of seawater, so pay attention to the shutter speed. Shutter speed1125 seconds can fix the splashing waves, while shutter speed 1/30 seconds will blur the picture, but it will produce motion.

When taking photos at the seaside, you should also pay attention to exposure. The seashore is vast, the sun is strong, and the water surface is reflective.

You can take photos of the seaside by properly reducing the exposure, which is generally 1 ~ 2 lower than shooting on Yuan Ye. In general photographic exposure, if the aperture is F 1 1 and the speed is1125 seconds, then exposure at the seaside only needs to use the aperture F 16 and the speed is1125 seconds. Overexposure overexposure, the water in the photo will turn white and you can't tell the level of clear water.
