Night scene shooting is more complicated than daytime shooting, because of the lack of environmental light sources, it usually takes more effort in exposure, focus, photometry and so on.

Many people have a headache in the face of a weak night scene, because they do not always grasp the main points of the weak light environment, and the photos are either underexposed or overexposed resulting in excessive contrast.

Today, I would like to introduce some points for attention in night scene shooting, so that you can easily learn night scene shooting:

1. When the supplementary light is filmed in the low light environment, the most efficient way to deal with it is to make up the light.

Especially for night portraits, reasonable lighting for the characters is usually the best choice, such as roadside street lamps, window light boxes, etc., we can carry some small light sources.

If there is no reasonable way to supplement the light, we can try to open a large aperture and high sensitivity to prolong the exposure time.

We do not need to over-reject the high sensitivity at all, and think that it has a great impact on the picture quality. in fact, many machines, especially full-frame machines, can completely control the relatively high sensitivity, and about 2500 of them can still ensure that the picture quality is relatively delicate; on the other hand, what is the use of taking a black picture simply to ensure the picture quality?

In addition, when shooting night scenes, it is recommended that you use Raw format to provide more space for later adjustment of photos, which is much more tolerant than JPEG format.

two。 The picture is not the brighter the better, since it is shooting the night scene, the photo had better have the feeling of "night".

For fear of underexposure, some people make the night scene particularly bright, just like during the day, which loses the taste of the night scene. At the same time, the contrast between the light and shade of the photo is also very large, and the impression is not good.

In fact, night scene shooting does not have to be carried out at "night". The best time for night scene shooting is in the "Blue moment," that is, when the sun has just set for half an hour or so, when the sky is not completely dark and blue. The ground scene can still see the details.

This is the best time to shoot all kinds of night scenes, because there is still a certain brightness in the environment, there is no need to worry about no details, the contrast is too large, at the same time, the light is relatively soft, and the photos taken are delicate and textured. Whether it is natural scenery, urban scenery or portraits have a good feeling.

If we can only shoot in the dark night, we can avoid the tough light source to prevent the contrast of the photo from being too large.

When you encounter a rainy or foggy night, you must not miss it. At this time, the ground is moist and can reflect a certain amount of light to make up the light. There is also a certain amount of water vapor in the air, which makes it very suitable for shooting night scenes.

3. Night scene unique scenery (1) the light track is strictly the outdoor light track, such as the car track, in the traffic is more dense at the side of the road, through the long exposure can get very cool light track photos.

(2) Light painting is also long exposure, through flashlights, mobile phones, fireworks and so on swinging in front of the lens, the camera will record the light trajectory and take interesting photos.

(3) Water atomization drawing water will show the shape of "wire drawing" through long exposure, and the longer exposure time will have the effect of "atomization". Like clouds, the blue moment is very suitable for shooting this scene.
