When there are multiple light sources in the picture, if they are outside the depth of field, they will show a kind of flare and halo effect, which looks like a sense of atmosphere.

How should we make good use of spots like this? Today, I will introduce to you the techniques of shooting light spots:

1. If the camera operation wants to get the misty and romantic feeling of the spot, we can use a large aperture when shooting. At this time, the light source outside the focus will show a vague feeling, the light will become hazy, and the color transition is natural. It looks like the ink has just entered the water.

The virtual effect brought by this large aperture is also convenient for us to shoot the main body in front of the spot, so that the virtual spot as the background will not affect the main body too much.

If you like to let the light source show the effect of radiation, we can use a small aperture.

A small aperture not only expands the depth of field, but also makes the source point show strips of radioactive light, just like the shining stars, which also looks good.

two。 The hazy light spot of the character shooting is very suitable for matching with the portrait, because using this kind of light spot as the background can not only enhance the expressiveness of the picture, but also highlight the sense of atmosphere.

When shooting portraits, we should focus on the problem of exposure. Generally, we can arrange the characters in a brighter place, or light up the faces of the characters, otherwise the background will be bright and the characters will be dark.

Led lamp line is very suitable as an auxiliary prop for portrait shooting, which can not only play a certain role in replenishing light, but also cooperate with the light spot of the background to enhance the sense of atmosphere.

Taking silhouettes of characters with the help of light spots is also a good choice, which is very suitable for showing the sense of outline.

3. In the later stage, adjusting the shooting spot effect in the later stage is still an important step, because generally this effect is completed with the help of the lighting effect at night, and the lights are often complicated in color, which will be very messy if we do not make proper adjustment.

The color is too complicated and a little messy, which affects the performance of the main body, so in the later stage, we mainly edit the color of the light spot. First of all, we have to make it clear that the theme we want to express should match the actual effect of the light. for example, if we want to show a warm atmosphere, then warm colors such as orange and yellow are more appropriate, while cool colors are not a good match.

Orange is suitable for the performance of warm, warm atmosphere. Secondly, we should screen the colors to a certain extent. In order to ensure that the theme is prominent and the picture is concise, we try not to let too many colors appear in them. Generally, three or less are more appropriate, and then it is easy to appear confused. We can edit the saturation and brightness of colors with the help of HSL tools in the later stage. For example, warm colors can be uniformly close to orange. Cool colors can be uniformly close to blue and so on.

Less color can highlight the sense of existence of the subject. finally, the color matching techniques we have introduced before can also be used here, such as adjacent color collocation, complementary color collocation and so on.

4. Special elements finally, I would like to introduce several special elements that are suitable for matching with light spots:

(1) on rainy days, the air is full of water vapor, and there will be stagnant water on the ground, so shooting the light spot will have a better performance, and the reflection effect of the water surface will also make the light spot show a better effect.

(2) the glass shooting light spot through the glass will also have a very good effect, and if there are water droplets on the glass, each small water drop will refract the light spot again, the effect is very strange.

(3) the technique of transparent lens cap should also be known to many friends, when we cut a shape on a piece of paper and then cover it on the lens, the light source will show the shape we cut, that is, we can artificially change the spot effect, this technique is also interesting.

You can try some of the above techniques when you go out to take pictures at night.
