In our daily shooting, smoke and water vapor is also a very common element, and is very suitable for the performance of a lonely, cold, gloomy style, but also can play up the romantic atmosphere.

So today, let's introduce how to use this element to take a good picture:

1. What kind of smoke vapor looks better? If we want to make use of this element, we naturally have to find it first, but the foggy feeling like haze is not very good-looking. Here are some good-looking smoke and water vapor environments:

(1) the heat coming from the manhole cover on the side of the road in winter is a very good subject. The water vapor emitted from the heating pipe is in the shape of a mass, which has the feeling of urban fireworks.

(2) Water vapor on the road in summer. Now it is almost summer, have you ever noticed that after the summer rain or after the sprinklers pass by, there will be streams of water vapor on the road, and sometimes it will reflect a small "rainbow" in the sunlight, which is also very good-looking.

The water vapor rising from the road is similar to this effect (3) foggy and rainy days. Foggy days do not need to be introduced too much. if you have ever gone out to take pictures in the early morning or at night, you will find that this kind of weather is really suitable for filming.

In rainy days, especially when the rain is particularly heavy, there will also be water vapor, which can show a foggy feeling and look very romantic.

(4) fountain, running water, etc. Fast-flowing water can also form the feeling of water vapor and fog, such as the atomization wire drawing effect obtained by long exposure to running water, and the fountains that are common in our daily life can also show some of this effect, if we find the right angle, it looks very good in the sun.

two。 The performance of hazy feeling because the smoke and water vapor itself can show a kind of hazy feeling, so we can look for a suitable theme when shooting to strengthen this hazy feeling.

(1) the negative space is the "blank" area in the photo, which can be simply understood as the white space of the picture.

Smoke, water vapor is very suitable as a negative space, when we shoot smoke water vapor, leaving more space for the picture will be more concise, but also more suitable for the performance of hazy feeling.

(2) the application of cool color shows a sense of obscurity. We can also start with color. Themes such as smoke can give people a sense of coolness and loneliness, so it is very suitable to use cool color to set off this atmosphere.

Blue, blue-purple and turquoise can all enhance the sense of atmosphere, which is why it is recommended to shoot this theme in the early morning or at night, because the light is relatively weak, there are natural cold tones in the environment.

(3) camera operation-- the principle of "white plus black subtract" and "white plus black subtract" has been introduced to you before. To put it simply, cameras sometimes "make themselves smart". When shooting bright, large white objects, the camera will make the object appear dark and gray.

On the other hand, when shooting black objects, it will be bright and gray, so in short, the exposure is not accurate, so we have to increase the exposure compensation in the white and bright environment, otherwise reduce the exposure compensation.

For example, foggy weather, water vapor and so on are generally white and may be brighter, so the principle of "white plus black subtraction" requires our attention.

However, it should also be noted that in general, in the camera automatic exposure, point photometry, the inaccurate exposure will be more obvious, in other cases generally will not be the case.

3. Performance perspective due to water vapor, fog will form a sense of occlusion, so it is not very suitable for the performance of the three-dimensional sense and perspective of the picture, but if we can use some guiding and transitional elements in the shooting, we can add a lot of color to the picture.

For example, in a foggy day, the farther away the fog is, the thicker the fog is, and the more blurred it looks. If we pay attention to the observation and include the elements that can show the sense of transition into the picture, then we can strengthen the hazy sense of atmosphere.

The clear transition from far to near, for example, if we shoot on the road, the road becomes more and more blurred as we extend into the distance, which can also enhance this sense of atmosphere.

The guide line of sight refers to the distant foggy area 4. With the characters shooting "the lonely and quiet Cold Mountain Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell chimed melodiously to the passenger ship in the middle of the night." on the contrary, the sound of the bell in the middle of the night can better show the feeling of stillness, and so is photography. If you want to show the feeling of loneliness and obscurity, sometimes human existence can highlight this feeling more than complete emptiness.

Foggy days, water vapor and other elements are very suitable for shooting with individual characters, the looming feeling of the characters can enhance the feeling of the picture, and the figure's back and the relatively small proportion of the characters in the picture can also strengthen this atmosphere.

5. Long exposure if you encounter advection fog, or the flow of water vapor, fog, etc., use long exposure to record the flow shape of the gas, very textured.

At the seaside in summer, you can sometimes see this in the evening, and you can get a very good advection fog in the high places.

6. Auxiliary props We have introduced the shooting techniques of the Tyndall effect before. in fact, smoke and water vapor are very suitable for the performance of the Tyndall phenomenon. If we have a light source such as a flashlight, we can create the "Tyndall phenomenon" with the help of colloids such as smoke and water vapor.

In addition, when shooting in foggy weather and water vapor environment, we must pay attention to the protection of the camera, focusing on the lens part, and the mirror wipe paper is best carried with you.

In addition, we must pay attention to the lens, the fuselage inside the water, it is best to shoot within the range of control, do not cause damage to the machine in order to take pictures.
