How to shoot a clear portrait by backlighting

How to shoot a clear portrait by backlighting is as follows:

1, measure the bright background? But if the foreground is completely unfilled, you can get a strong silhouette effect and a good rendering atmosphere.

2. Use a reflector or a flash? More details can be obtained by properly filling the foreground with light.

3. Backlight shooting? It can produce dazzling profile light around the object and strongly outline the appearance of the object. Try to avoid direct sunlight at noon when taking portraits. However, nothing is absolute. Sometimes, just when you think the sun is quite unsuitable for shooting and are ready to put away your camera, you can get some unexpected results.

4. shoot forest plants? When the subject is easy to transmit light, the backlight level can be adopted, and the subject will show stronger texture, and the feeling of light beam will make the picture full of mystery.

5. When the lens appears severe halo? Pay attention to the composition, slightly adjust the lens position to avoid the halo covering the subject.

If you use a tripod to assist shooting on a slope, there are ways to keep the camera away from sudden danger. If we shoot on a rock or a slope on a mountain, let one leg of the tripod point to ourselves, so that the three legs of the tripod can stably support the camera and prevent it from falling.

2. How to avoid underexposure?

Photographers are often underexposed when taking pictures, fearing that turning on the flash will be too bright and sacrifice the natural light of the scene environment. In this case, the best way is to use the exposure compensation function of the camera. As long as the exposure compensation function is pushed up one or two levels, the general darkening situation will be improved.

3. How to focus before composing?

First, focus the center of the picture on the face of the person to be photographed, half press the shutter button to complete the focusing and photometry procedures, press and hold the shutter button, and move the camera horizontally to re-compose.
