Christmas shooting tips

The atmosphere of Christmas is honest and strong, and the streets and lanes are carefully decorated. Now young people are also enjoying this festive atmosphere. Especially for photographers, the Christmas decoration is very beautiful, so they will go out with the camera to take a few pictures. Today I'm going to tell you how to take pictures at Christmas and what creative and exquisite picture you can take.

High sensitivity and large aperture

Christmas is the most exciting and lively time, of course, in the evening. Whether indoors or outdoors, there are different lighting decorations. So for night vision lovers, Christmas is also a good time to take pictures. Different lighting atmosphere can give the picture to create a different color style, colorful spot can also use the shallow depth of field of the void, into a gorgeous spot.

But at night light conditions are poor, so before you take a picture, you need to slightly increase the sensitivity and aperture of the camera to get enough light in. Using large aperture (f or numerical smaller) lens is more suitable for Christmas theme picture taken, such as high sexual price than 50 mm prime lens is better choice, large aperture taken out of the focal spot are needed to foil Christmas atmosphere, can even directly to the lens focusing ring spinning to screen all along, also can get images of a dream.

However, when metering under complex light conditions, attention should be paid to the average metering of the picture, so as to avoid the low exposure of the dark part of the light source after metering, which will lead to the dim picture. On the contrary, the exposure of the dark part will also lead to the dazzling over-exposure of the picture.

The perfect collision of colors captures the delicacy and beauty of Christmas

In addition, improving the sensitivity will have a certain impact on the quality of the picture, but today's camera products are very effective in noise suppression of high sensitivity, generally speaking, the use of sensitivity is not higher than ISO 3200 can be assured to shoot boldly. Of course, long exposures are also essential for night viewing, so you can always carry a tripod with you in case of emergency.

Grasp details

Christmas tree is everyone's favorite picture to shoot, but if the whole Christmas tree is photographed completely, the picture always seems a little empty, especially at night after the lights are on, in the dark night of the light and shade contrast is too big. Therefore, I don't like to take pictures of the whole Christmas tree, and it is much better to take pictures of the details or parts of the Christmas tree, such as the delicate decorations on the Christmas tree or so on. When shooting parts or details, the background should be properly blurred with the help of a large aperture, so that the part of the shot will not be affected by the outside world.

Color combination

As we all know, Christmas is dominated by rich red and green colors, and some people joke that this may be the only time in the world when red and green are the most beautiful. So at Christmas time, color is also one of the most worthy of our capture. The combination of pure red and green is itself a very unique visual collision and contrast.

Of course, just shooting red or green has a different flavor. Traditional red is the main color of Christmas, alcohol strong red brings infinite surprise to the whole Christmas. Decorate this Christmas with alcohol strong red, the red ribbon of a circle, loud bell and answer the Christmas tree that red of scene collocation is green, the small bulb that becomes a string is blinking ground bright, those bouncing red are hanged on Christmas tree, flow in our palm, in wish transmission. And green is representing Christmas tree, the eternity that symbolizes evergreen, although appear a bit bleak in cold wintry day, but can make a person the mood is calm likewise, sedate and quiet.
