How do I photograph the sun? Thank you

How do you photograph the surface of the sun?

No, using the camera to shoot the sun during a solar eclipse or bright light will damage the CMOS sensor.

When shooting sunsets and landscapes, even if there is a sun in the frame, it is only for the moment, so the sun does not cause obvious damage to the camera. However, if you shoot a solar eclipse directly with a camera, because the light is strong during the eclipse, shooting the sun for a long time, even with a high-speed shutter, will cause the camera's sensor to be "injured", because the sun's overheating will burn out dead spots on the camera's CMOS.

This is due to the nature of the lens structure, where strong sunlight is transmitted to the camera's sensor through the lens, just as a magnifying glass is used to gather sunlight and burn the leaves on the ground. In this case, if you do not install a high-powered solar filter, and carry out a long-term operation, the sensor will inevitably burn out.

The light produced by the sun's rays or the lights of the night scene, the principle is that the lens aperture is composed of multiple metal blades, after the aperture is contracted, the metal blades that coincide together will have gaps, and the strong light of the sun will shine through the gaps of the number of leaks to the sensor** to produce light, the shape of the light is the number and shape of the diaphragm blades to determine the search, and the light produced by the night scene light at night is also the same principle, because the intensity of the light is much weaker than the sunlight, and long-term exposure to the light will also produce light.

Hence the premise of shooting the light:

1. Shrink the aperture, generally between 16/F and 22/F, too small aperture will affect the image quality.

2. When metering, it is best to use spot metering to aim at the intersection of the sun and the sky, and then lock the **composition shooting, and use the average metering to appropriately reduce the ** compensation of about one gear to prevent the sun from being overexposed and affecting the effect.

3. It is best to choose the time and angle of the sun through the flowers and trees to shoot the best effect, if the foreground is too dark, you can use an external flash or internal flash to fill the light in the foreground.

Clause. First, the key is to grasp the amount, if directly to the sun automatically, because the sun's rays are too strong will cause the scene to be insufficient and dark, you should press the shutter half to the scene metering and then compose the shutter press, or use manual metering according to the scene to set the aperture shutter, and then shoot at the sun. Shooting in front of the sun for a short period of time has little effect on the camera.

Clause. Second, when shooting against the light, sometimes the protagonist will disappear and the bridge becomes very dark, so shoot the silhouette directly! To create a beautiful silhouette, we need to pay special attention to the silhouette and form of the protagonist, as well as whether the background can highlight the silhouette.

Clause. 3. Photographing sunlight, the sun itself does not necessarily have to be the protagonist, in fact, there is light and shadow, and shadows can sometimes increase interest and provide greater imagination.

The Sun or Sun is a star located at the center of the Sun[3] system, which is almost an ideal sphere intertwined with a hot plasma and a magnetic field. Its diameter is approximately 1,392,000 (km, which is 109 times the diameter of the Earth.

The Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, with the farthest from the Sun in July (called aphelion) and the closest in January (called perihelion), with an average distance of 149.6 million kilometers (astronomical means 1 astronomical unit). At an average distance, it takes about 8 minutes and 19 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth.

The energy in sunlight supports the growth of all living things on Earth through photosynthesis and other means, and also governs the Earth's climate and weather. Since prehistoric times, the sun has been believed to have a great influence on the earth, and many cultures worship the sun as a god.

Everyday sun photography will not cause serious damage to the components of the camera. Because in the daily shooting picture, even if the sun appears, even if it is the noon sun at 12 noon, because the shutter speed of the shooting is very fast, at least a few hundredths of a second, so it will not cause damage to the camera's sensor, shutter curtain, lens aperture blades and other components.

The shutter speed is fast enough to cause damage, but that doesn't mean you won't have a problem shooting the sun with a high-speed shutter all the time. In fact, if you have been shooting the sun for a long time during a period of intense light, even if you have a high-speed shutter, the camera's sensor will be "injured", possibly because the sunlight mold is overheated and burns out dead spots on the CMOS.

There is also a case where both the camera's sensor and reflector may be burned. It is to shoot a solar eclipse or a long shutter time in front of the sun, which will greatly increase the risk of damage to the camera.

Due to the nature of the lens structure, strong sunlight is transmitted to the camera's sensor through the lens, just as we use a magnifying glass to gather sunlight to burn the leaves on the ground. In this case, if the protection is not proper and the operation is carried out for a long time, then the sensor will inevitably burn out.
