The ultimate skill of photography in summer and rainy days

Going out to travel, especially long-distance travel, will inevitably encounter rainy days. When it rains on cloudy days, the whole light becomes dim, but the light is uniform. But when you take pictures at this time, you will always find that the whole picture is very dark, so most people don't like taking pictures on cloudy days and rainy days. The following is the ultimate skill to introduce summer rainy day photography, welcome to read!

The ultimate skill of summer rainy day photography 1, clever use of stagnant water

The characteristics of rainy scenery are that, except for the high brightness of the sky itself, the ground scenery is gloomy and unknown because it can't get direct sunlight and its average brightness is low. At the same time, the light and shade between the sky and the ground will be too wide. Therefore, it is generally not appropriate to choose a large area of the sky as the background for shooting in rainy days. As shown in the figure below, there will be more or less water on the ground in rainy days. Using the mirror reflection of stagnant water, you can also form a' reflection' of the scenery in the water, which can increase the layering of the picture.

2. Pay attention to the choice of scenery

Rainy weather is suitable for shooting scenes with simple outline lines, large fluctuations and large brightness intervals. Scenes with messy shapes and inconspicuous levels are not suitable for shooting in rainy days.

3. Flexible expression skills

When shooting a rain scene, there are many ways of expression, such as making a foreground through the doors, windows and car glass where the rain flows, resulting in a hazy and almost blurred picture effect; If you need to create, you can also paint a thin layer of vaseline or other oily things on the foreground glass, so that water droplets can easily stay on the glass and enhance the effect of rainy days.

Step 4 capture the beauty of nature

On rainy days, there are many beautiful natural landscapes that can't be seen at ordinary times, but they are extremely difficult to grasp. Rainbow is one of them, beautiful and fleeting. Shooting a rainbow-themed work requires not only outstanding luck and patience, but also a good camera with high shutter speed and continuous shooting function.

Bad luck? Not patient enough? The camera is weak? Don't worry, there is another theme that is easy to find after the rain, and that is plants. After the rain cleared, I took my beloved camera and went out to a place with green plants. These crystal clear water drops are waiting for you to shoot.

When shooting a color picture in rainy days, the scene is illuminated by scattered light from the sky, and the blue-purple component increases, and the color temperature of the light source is high. So when shooting a color picture, the colors of the scene in the picture are often blue and cyan. If you want to restore the color of the scene, you need to adjust the color temperature of the light source according to the color temperature of the real shooting scene, and use filters or camera settings to correct the color temperature.
