Tell me about the rime photos by the stream.

This is the foothold of Sandy's love of life, photography and travel.

In winter, after a heavy snow, everything is white. The white earth, white houses, white trees and the world wrapped in silver give people a pure and romantic atmosphere. Snow, snow crystals, fog, snow catching, snow-capped mountains, streams in snow, trees in snow, etc. In the snow scene, it will bring a lot of photographic subjects to photographers. Next, Shantou will share with you some tips for shooting various scenes of winter snow scenes, so that you can bring back different photos when you travel.

Many southerners go to the north to see the snow in winter, one of which is the rime, among which the rime in Jilin is the most famous, and it is called one of the four natural wonders in China. Rime is a very rare beautiful natural landscape in winter. Rime does not belong to snow, but is the result of water vapor freezing in the air and accumulating on branches and other objects at extremely low temperature. Rime will appear as a mixture of ice and snow crystals, showing white or transparent color, which will produce reflective effect under the irradiation of light. So you can master some tips when shooting, so that you can bring back different photos when you travel.

Tips 1. When shooting rime in winter, we should grasp the time when rime appears.

The formation of rime requires two basic conditions: 1, which is cold enough; 2. There is enough moisture in the air, and the time of rime formation varies slightly from place to place or every year, but it is very rare to appear once a year in February-March, which requires budget time.

Rime days usually disappear more than an hour after the sun comes out early. If you want to shoot rime, you must get to the shooting location before the sun comes out. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next opportunity.

Tip 2: Choose a suitable shooting angle when shooting rime in winter.

You can shoot the rime from all angles, but if you want to better show the layering of the rime, you'd better choose the angle of backlight (the light is opposite to the shooting direction), side backlight and side light, because the rime is a kind of ice and snow condensation thing, when the light is in the rime, it will reflect light, and the backlight, side backlight and side light can be very good.

Tip 3: You can use a polarizer to shoot "rime" in winter to avoid the influence of "reflection".

Rime is a kind of ice and snow condensation. When the light shines on the rime, it will reflect the light. When changing the shooting angle can't eliminate the influence of reflection, you can use a polarizer to shoot. The direct light in the beam is eliminated and filtered by the polarizer, and the picture taken is clear and natural.

Tip 4: Set the shooting parameters of rime in winter.

1. Because rime has the characteristic of reflecting light, we choose the partition metering mode for metering. The zonal metering mode has the ability of automatic backlight compensation.

2. According to the principle of "white plus black minus", if you want to make the snow whiter, you need to increase the exposure compensation value of 1-2EV. In addition to white, the rime is more crystal clear.

3. Reduce the sensitivity as much as possible (generally set to ISO 100, no more than 400), so as to ensure the shooting quality.

Tip 4: the composition of "rime" in winter

The main body of rime shooting in winter must be rime. At the same time, we should observe the surrounding environment, add different forms of sky, trees and rimes, and even make the picture richer and more story-telling through props or characters, so as to shoot different rimes from different angles. You can also go to more places, look for more shooting angles, and find a beautiful perspective that belongs to your heart.

Finally, a word of caution: when shooting snow scenes in winter, due to the great temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, when shooting outdoors, don't take out your camera immediately, leave it outdoors for a while, and then shoot after the temperature drops. At low temperature, the battery consumption of the camera is very fast, so take more spare batteries. Keep the battery warm and put it in a close-fitting pocket. Electronic equipment is easily damaged when it is wet with water. Pay attention to waterproof when shooting in snowy days to prevent water from entering the camera after the snow melts. The most important thing is to travel in the snow, and you must pay attention to personal safety when you slip on the road.

Photography is interesting, but it is also a science. Welcome everyone to participate in the improvement and discussion to improve the photography level together.
