Introduction to sunset photography techniques

Throughout the ages, there have been many literati, poets, and poets who have had unrealized ambitions and been depressed. When they saw the golden sunset on the horizon, they immediately thought of their own situation, and they kept saying beautiful words and feeling filled with emotion.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk" means helplessness. At that time, the famous literati expressed their feelings about the sunset. But now, with the passage of time, we have a new state of mind towards the sunset. "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, even if it's almost dusk."

Seeing such a shocking and spectacular sunset, we can’t help but pick up the camera in our hands to capture this beautiful scene, but the results are often unsatisfactory. At this time, we always blame ourselves How to check the pixels of a mobile phone and how dark the light is.

Actually, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that you have not found the skills. So, next, let’s learn with the editor what photography skills are used to shoot the sunset!

< p>First, try to shoot in the evening when the weather is clear and cloudy

Try to shoot in the evening when the weather is clear and cloudy, so that you can capture the scene with the afterglow, and the clouds in the sky will make your sunset Photos are the icing on the cake.

Second, adjust to Av file and set the aperture to F8~F16

Adjust to Av file (if your camera does not have Av file, you can adjust to P file and skip For this step, go directly to the third step), set the light_between F8-F16.

Third, set the sensitivity to 100~400

Set the sensitivity to 100~400. Low sensitivity can make your photos less noisy, have better and more detailed images, and avoid rough effects.

Fourth, it is best to use spot metering

If your camera cannot change the metering mode, there is no need to look down, just take the photo.

If you have a choice, change the camera's focus mode to central single-point focus and the metering mode to spot metering.

After the settings are completed, half-press the shutter button to focus on the clouds around the sunset and take a photo, and you will get the sunset effect in the picture below. I think this effect can better highlight the wonderful artistic conception of "the sunset is infinitely better, it's just near dusk".

Note

After adjusting to central focus + spot metering, the focus point must not be facing the building or the sun, otherwise the whole picture will appear too bright or too dark. .

Okay, have you mastered the skills? "The sunset sets in the west, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world", or "A gust of west wind blows away the rain, but the setting sun is still bright by the water", or "The sunset is beautiful and red, I want to embrace the sunset." Master these skills, you can take pictures Such an artistic conception.
