How to shoot night scenes, and what should I pay attention to? SLR

First, grasp the best time.

It's best to shoot night scenes before nightfall. At this time, the lights are on, the sunset has just disappeared, the color of the sky is not black, but with a faint afterglow, and at this time the city's nightlife has begun, and the crowds are surging, so lively.

The advantage of shooting at this time is that the color of the picture is strong and gorgeous, but the night scene of the city is also very appropriately outlined and very beautiful. At this time, the sky looks basically completely dark to the naked eye, but because of the long ** camera, you can still see some clouds and sunset.

2. Tripod, shutter release, low ISO

Shooting night scenes generally requires a good camera position and a long **, these two things are the most basic. And with the support of these two things, you don't need to use a high ISO, after all, a low ISO is of better quality.

3. Use raw

RAW's adjustments to the white balance are largely lossless, which is especially noticeable in night scenes. When you look at the night scenes**, you will actually find one thing in common: the main color of the night scene is very obvious and occupies a large proportion of the picture.

There are many reasons for this, mainly two reasons: first, the light at night is not strong enough to support the color differences of everything in the world. Second, because of the use of long **, the relatively fixed color will be continuously strengthened.

For example, the color of the sky, on the contrary, the surging crowd has a weaker impact on the color than the sky because it is moving and stays in the picture for a short time. How necessary it is to shoot night scenes in RAW mode.

Fourth, choose the seat well.

1.Overpass. The overpass can make good use of the traffic flow, and the light created by the traffic flow is exactly what we need, the light of the traffic flow can form a natural extension line, and the second is to enhance the color of the picture, such as yellow car lights, red car lights, etc.

2.Waterside. The benefits of the surface of the water are: first, it can create symmetrical beauty. Second, it can enhance the overall brightness and color richness of the picture.

3.Sidewalk.

On the sidewalk (not too many people), set up a tripod to measure the night scene, let people walk around the lens, and the final effect is that the "**" complements the night scene.

A tripod is a must, or it should be placed in a place where it can be fixed.

It is better to have a shutter release cable, and the body will vibrate when you press the shutter.

Turn the ISO of the lens down to 100, and if the noise reduction of the fuselage is not good, buy it at night with high noise.

The aperture of the lens is open to f16 or less.

First of all, you need a tripod to shoot night scenes. When shooting, it should be set at the M stop, the aperture should be reduced by two stops (so that the image is ***, the depth of field is moderate), and the sensitivity ISO should be adjusted to 100, which can reduce noise, the imaging is superior, and the shutter time is determined according to the brightness and darkness of the scene light. It usually ranges from 1 to a few seconds.

Of course, you have to get on the tripod!! Small aperture!! The ISO should also be smaller in order to reduce noise! Slow shutter! Only in this way can the stars shine!! That's how it looks good!!

If you want to make the car get the effect of streamers, small aperture (F16 or smaller mentioned above is very much agreed), low ISO (to avoid too much noise), longer shutter time, tripod is best to wear, if not, you can put it in a fixed position, handheld shooting is definitely not possible.

The first thing to confirm is whether you are using an entry-level SLR or a relatively high-end SLR when shooting, and after a brief look at the interactive record of Sesame that was answered earlier, it should be a relatively entry-level SLR, the kind where the flash can jump up on its own.

The second thing to make sure is whether you need to shoot a portrait in a night scene or a pure night scene, which are completely different ways of shooting.

Entry-level SLR cameras have a built-in night mode, which has been misunderstood by many people before, thinking that all night shots can be used in this mode, in fact, this mode is intended for shooting portraits at night, not for professional photographers to shoot pure night scenes, to be precise, the most ideal use should be in the bright lights of the night vista, the person in front of the person is almost completely unilluminated by the light. If the subject is illuminated by other lights, or if the camera flash is too close to the model, one of two things can happen, either the beautiful lights in the distance are completely dim and cannot be seen, or the person being photographed may be blurred due to the long shooting time.

The correct way to use it is to arrange the model in a darker place, the backlight will also have a good effect, the focus is to have an appropriate distance from the camera, the on-camera flash based on the entry-level camera is about a meter, and the model should be agreed to keep the expression after the flash until the end of the shooting, and it is recommended to use a tripod, which can try to ensure that the model in front is clear and beautiful, and the night scene behind is also bright and brilliant.

Regardless of whether you use an entry-level camera or not, the technique for shooting pure night scenes is the same, that is: be sure to use a tripod, use the camera's manual mode, that is, the M file, and it is best to use manual focusing, now they are all digital cameras, and the results can be seen directly after shooting, so the shooting parameters can be set according to the scene situation, there are no certain rules. In general, a small aperture and low ISO can get a longer **time, while a longer ** time can get a beautiful light track, a large aperture, a high ISO can get a shorter ** time, if there is really no tripod, the hand shake problem can be solved to a certain extent when shooting handheld.

Here are some beautiful night scenes**, which can be obtained using these principles using the right combination of focal length, aperture and shutter speed.

Prepare a tripod and shutter release cable.

Gate B ISO100

Aperture 8-10

**More than 10 seconds.
