Get the perfect shot in the Strong Sunshine

After the beginning of spring, it is time to welcome the energetic summer! Blue sky and white clouds always arouse people's desire to take photos. Although many people think that it doesn't need any skills to take photos on sunny days, canvas prints it still needs some preparation to take the ideal photos. Here are some tips for taking photos in fierce sunshine:

To get the ideal shot, you must first decide on the subject and then choose the right equipment. There is no camera or lens in the world that can meet all your needs.

A wide Angle (28mm or lower focus) lens is a popular lens for many people who shoot landscapes. If you are shooting large buildings, cheap canvas prints australia a wide Angle lens can be used to shoot at a relatively close distance to achieve a shocking visual effect. For example, if you go to a suburb and want to take a full picture of the green forest, but there is not enough space for shooting, the wide-angle lens can also play its role.

But a wide-angle lens is not everything. When you shoot with a cluttered background, large canvas prints it is easy to capture unnecessary elements that may even affect the look and feel of the picture and the composition of the picture. At this time, you may need to change a longer focal length (e.g., 50mm-100mm) to highlight your subject.

Under the condition of high contrast of light using the gradient ash filter landscape, have you ever tried, clearly visible to the naked eye can see the blue sky is very blue, white clouds very white, the whole landscape a look you know who is "postcards" class, but it is another thing, you may be the sky white, can the buildings or the people in this photo is so dark and so on.

It's all about the difference between the sunlight and the foreground. Because there's so much more sunlight (the sky) than the foreground, the camera's metering doesn't capture the sky at normal exposure, and vice versa. Using a gradient grey filter when shooting is one way to solve this problem.

The so-called gradient gray is actually a special filter with the upper half dimming and the lower half transparent. To use it, we put the filter in front of the camera lens, so that the dimmed part obscures the sun and sky, while the transparent part obscures the foreground. This Narrows the difference between the brightness of the sun and that of the foreground, allowing the camera the ability to take both at the same time.

Even if you don't want to take pictures of sunsets and sunrises with extreme differences of light, in general, you can make the sky look more beautiful!

Choose different daylight hours

The sun rises from the east and sets in the west, which is a natural phenomenon known to human beings. Therefore, as long as we calculate the location, we can know roughly when the sun appears in what position, helping us to accurately compose the picture!

In addition, if the portrait is taken, we will avoid shooting at noon time in many cases. Because the sun will fall on our head (directly above), the light is relatively "hard" and the shadows created are relatively strong. The feeling of shooting is not natural enough.

So, try a little earlier (before 10 o 'clock) or later (after 3 o 'clock), when the sun sets on the left and the right, and give the subject a little side light. And if the right amount of clouds, as nature's soft shade, will completely eliminate the shadow on the face, the effect is better.

Of course, the shadow is strong or weak, depending on your film material and want to create the effect, first try different matching, and then find their favorite photo style!

The concept of composition and framing

Since the development of photography, there have been many basic rules of photography for your reference, what the golden section or "well" word composition, you can easily find a lot of reader’s online search. In addition to following these rules, we should know what we want to shoot, what message or feeling we want to bring out, and then decide what lens to use, and then decide what distance and Angle to take a picture of, and then think about these composition skills.

Because if your equipment (such as the focal length of the lens) is limited, you cannot remedy it purely on composition. Therefore, you should first understand what different focal lenses can allow you to shoot, or when you take different focal lenses to shoot an object of a certain size, panoramic canvas prints how close or far you need to go, practice and become familiar with them, and you will be more comfortable with composition.
