The last issue brought you tips on shooting the Tyndall phenomenon, and today we will introduce another shooting technique of atmosphere elements-showing the sparkling texture of the water surface.

1. Camera operation we can focus on two key points: aperture and shutter time.

(1) the size of the aperture can control the depth of field and make a special effect at the light source. We can choose according to our personal thoughts when shooting:

If we want to show a dreamy, hazy effect, we can use a large aperture to focus on part of the water surface to create a blurring effect outside the depth of field, like a halo.

And if we reduce the aperture, the light reflected by the water surface will show a radiant feeling, as if sprinkling a handful of stars on the water, it is also very good-looking.

(2) by increasing the shutter speed, we can record the moment of the water surface, while if we use the slow gate, we can record the flow path of the water surface, and the light reflected by the water surface will change accordingly, which can produce a dynamic effect.

two。 Shooting angle if you want to record the sparkling effect, of course you have to face the light source, such as the sun, moon, light, etc., that is, the angle of backlight.

If the light source is too strong, it may not perform well at the backlight angle, because the light contrast is too strong to control the exposure.

Then we can choose the angle of the side backlight, or block the light source to a certain extent, which will not be strongly disturbed by the light, nor will we miss the wonderful picture.

3. The sparkling effect of the water surface is usually formed by sunlight or moonlight during shooting time, so we can grasp the best performance time of these two light sources.

For the sun, the light near the surface of the water at noon will show a silver-white effect, while close to the morning and evening will be golden, because the light is softer in the morning and evening, which is more in line with the shooting atmosphere. So we can choose these two periods of time to shoot.

For moonlight, we try to choose when the moon is close to the water surface, that is, when the moon rises or sets from the water, and the bigger the moon, the better the light conditions.

Around the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar every month, the moon rises in the east in the form of a full moon at about 18:00, when the moonlight and shooting angle are very good, and we can make good use of this time.

4. If the scenery can be combined with some interesting and attractive scenery when shooting the sparkling effect, it can make the picture more beautiful.

Since we are shooting the surface of the water, we can pay more attention to the water-related scenery, such as boats, waterbirds, plants in the water, etc., which can not only enrich the content of the picture, but also show a romantic feeling with the sparkling atmosphere.
