You must have heard the saying that the best time of day is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the so-called prime time of photography. But more accurately, prime time refers to the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset, and the length of prime time is not fixed.

If you are near the equator, prime time usually lasts an hour or two, and the interval does not change much from winter to summer. But if you are near the North or South Pole, the prime time will be very different and last longer.

Why is it that only prime time is the "favorite" of photographers? The light generated by prime time is relatively soft, will not appear very harsh shadows, the overall look is very warm and pleasant, but prime time is not suitable for all types of photography themes. For example, street photographers prefer contrasting images, so they usually shoot at noon, while some macro photographers prefer to shoot on cloudy days in order to get a sense of color saturation and rich details.

Blue prime time refers to an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset, while blue time refers to an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset. During the blue period, the sky will turn into beautiful cold colors-blue and purple, but the light is not strong enough and it is easy to roll over, but if your technical equipment is online, it will be absolutely amazing.

The prime time light 001 foreground light is directly facing the sun. In prime time, the foreground light is very warm and soft, suitable for shooting people, wild animals and birds, and the sun is not too dazzling.

When the 002 backlight subject stands in front of the sun, there will be a backlight. Backlighting in prime time can have a hazy, mysterious effect, like this.

At this point, it is easy to make the subject underexposed. To avoid this problem, make sure to measure the light of the subject rather than the background.

003 the edge light of the sun will show a halo around the subject. The effect of the halo is more obvious when the subject is in front of the dark background. To create this effect, you don't need to turn your back directly to the sun, just need a relatively dark environment on your back, and then let the sun shoot from a certain angle on the back. as for the specific direction, you can try everywhere before shooting.

004 silhouette is produced when the subject is black against a bright background.

Put the camera down and shoot directly into the light. (make sure you expose the background and not the subject).

Top 5 shooting techniques 001 observe the state of clouds depending on the degree of cloud coverage in the sky, prime time may change or even not appear. Clouds can enhance brilliant sunrises and sunsets, or completely block out light.

So, be sure to watch the weather forecast before you go out. When shooting, you need to analyze the light frequently, and if you are shooting quickly and the sun is constantly passing through the clouds, consider using a semi-automatic shooting mode, such as aperture priority or shutter priority, which will help maintain exposure when the light changes.

002 setting the white balance of the white balance camera is used to correct the color difference, at the same time, you can also change the white balance to highlight the warm tone of prime time. If the white balance is set to cloudy days or shadows, the photos will have a stronger warm tone. If you forget to set the white balance when shooting, you can also add this effect later!

003 large aperture prime-time light will produce a strong background virtual effect. You can use a large aperture, such as f / 1.8, f / 2.8 or f / 4, combined with warm yellow and orange in prime time, and the final background effect will be very special.

004 underexposure if you want to retain a lot of detail and show the vibrant beauty of a sunset or sunrise, you can slightly reduce the exposure and darken the image, making it easier to pull back later.

The 005 HDR photography HDR is when the camera continuously takes several photos with different exposures (underexposure, normal exposure, overexposure) and then overlays them into one, thus preserving the details of the shadows and highlights. Note that when using this method of photography, make sure the camera and the subject are stable.
