Several taboos of outdoor photography
Several taboos of outdoor photography 1, avoiding direct sunlight.
Bright sunshine provides good lighting conditions, making the scenery vivid and saturated with colors, which provides conditions for using high-speed shutters and small apertures. However, strong sunlight can also bring problems. The most prominent thing is that its dazzling light will open the eyes of the subject. At the same time, high-angle direct sunlight will also cause thick facial shadows and skin wrinkles, which will damage the image beauty of the characters. So when taking pictures outdoors, let the sun shine on the subject from the side and avoid facing the sun directly.
2. Avoid ignoring filters.
When taking landscape photos, the light source is beyond our control, so we have to do some work in front of the camera. It is an inevitable action to take horizontal and demanding landscape photos, plus various suitable filters. In addition to polarizers and adjustable nd dimmers, Stender Z series square gradient lenses with various colors are also important tools for shooting landscapes.
3. Avoid people getting too close to the colored environment.
In bright light, the reflection of objects will be enhanced. In this case, people should try to stay away from those colorful scenery (such as newly painted building exterior walls, large awnings and so on). ), otherwise the colors of those scenes will be mapped to people, causing color cast.
4. Avoid using high-speed film.
In the sunny and scorching sun, the light intensity is already very high. If high-speed film is used again, it will often force the aperture to receive a small amount, or it is impossible to use a slow shutter. All these situations will bring certain limitations to photography creation.
5. Avoid standing under a tree and taking pictures.
Light and shadow complement each other. The stronger the light, the deeper the shadow. When people stand by and take pictures of a tree, sunlight often casts leaves on people's bodies and faces, causing mottled shadows, which is not conducive to the aesthetic feeling of the picture.
6, people standing on the concrete floor to avoid the top light when taking pictures.
Because the cement floor surface is flat and light in color, it will form a strong reflection, which is from bottom to top. Footlights? It often has a terrible influence and should be avoided as much as possible.
7, avoid random fill light
In the bright sunshine, the scenery will have a strong contrast. In order to avoid too much contrast, it is effective to use auxiliary light for auxiliary lighting, but we should master the discretion, not only to avoid the auxiliary light being too bright, but also to avoid exposing the traces of auxiliary light (such as the projection opposite to the main light).
