Shooting skills of Nanjing night scene

Lead: Give inferences about the shooting skills of night scenes. Let's have a look!

Nanjing Night Scene Author: Woodcutter

EXIF information:

Canon 500D aperture: F/ 1 1 shutter: 5s focal length:10miso:100.

First, let the water reflect light smoothly.

In order to make the water surface reflect the light of buildings on the ground smoothly, we need a water surface without big waves (such as the' lake' when there is no wind) for long-term exposure, and we must use a tripod to stabilize the camera during long-term exposure, and it is best to use a reflector to pre-lift and release the cable. This photo was exposed for 5 seconds, making the water surface smooth and reflective. Use a small aperture (F/ 1 1) and a low ISO(ISO 100) to avoid overexposure.

Second, balance the amount of light reflected by the sky and the water.

If you shoot directly with the parameters of step 1, it is very likely that the sky above the ground will be overexposed, or the sky will be exposed normally and the water surface will be dark. Do you need to use it? Black card? Balance the amount of light above and below the horizontal line. The general operation is to cover the upper part of the sky with a black card in front of the camera and shake it up and down to balance the exposure of the whole picture. Specific black card skills can be searched for related topics.

Third, the application prospect

Foreground has always been a factor that cannot be ignored in photographic composition. As an integral part of photos, they can highlight the theme and increase the sense of space and depth of photos. Therefore, in photographic composition, the correct use of foreground and background can make the scenery in the photo more harmonious and unified, thus making it more appealing. Like the wide-angle lens and low-angle shooting in this picture, the sense of angle extension generated by the lens itself further highlights the interest of the foreground.

Fourth, some places that need to be paid attention to when shooting.

Pay attention to the straight horizontal line, otherwise it will make the viewer feel unstable. In addition, the use of good white balance, white balance can change the tone of photos, try different settings, maybe there will be surprises! In addition, barrel deformation is very common in wide-angle shooting. Can you do it in photoshop? Filter > distortion > lens correction? Just correct it.
