Marine photography skills

To say where to travel in summer, it must be to the sea. For people who love photography remember to bring a camera to record the beautiful scenery while enjoy ourselves. The following are some tips for reference.

(1)Fast shutter speed to freeze rolling waves

To say the sea in addition to the beach, the most typical Marine elements should be rolling waves. Recommend you try to use first high-speed shutter photograph rolling waves at a time. On equipment collocation, the first thing you need to own camera system with a suitable size and quality of qualified waterproof cover or waterproof bag, so as to ensure the safety of the equipment. For the light choice, we recommend to use backlight during the filming of freezing wave. Direct from the lens of backlighting helps perform the glittering and translucent of waves. Of course, this will take more precise metering and exposure, you can test a few times more before formal scene shooting, after all, the waves will continuously snap to you.

In the setting of the camera, recommend the use of more than 1/500 second fast shutter speed, and use of high-speed continuous shooting function, you can rush to catch the waves of instant changes. In filming, you can use long lens to make spindrift fill with pictures, and as far as possible to suppress the angle of the shot, you will be in a position to better performance of the momentum of the waves.

(2)Using surrounded exposure

One of the biggest challenges of midsummer ocean theme is the very strong sunlight, if your camera is in automatic mode, take photos will be most likely underexposed. If your camera has a manual mode, then these are not a big problem, you can try different exposure combination in order to achieve the best results. The simpler method is to use the surrounded exposure to shoot, its principle is to press the exposure metering value within a normal machine, then on this basis to get pictures of increase and decrease exposure

If you are still not sure, you can change more exposure more than a few pictures, according to differential for 1/3EV and 0.5 EV, 1 EV to adjust exposure, exposure of each photo is not the same, so you can choose a satisfactory one from a series of pictures. Sometimes depends on the situation, it's not an easy thing to let the scenery brighter especially where is dark and with light. Usually it is extremely important to first find accurate exposure area, but at the same time make the picture has a very good layout is not an easy thing, this will need to practice and explore.

(3)Capture people silhouette

The sea and sky sea is an ideal background, during the filming of a silhouette in the seaside is easy, as long as to make character appear in between beach and sky, and then according to the sky light conditions normal exposure. Be especially careful when shooting precise metering. At this point you can use the spot metering or central focus on metering model, in view of the sky above the sun's brightness moderate metering, so it can be dark region of the sun glinting on the pressure, improve the success rate of exposure. Silhouette in the foreground can be used carefully chosen through contrast enhanced deep feeling of the space, to foil the sun to be beautiful, foil atmosphere as a whole. Pay attention to leave more white space when filming silhouette picture, in addition to the people, the sky and the sea had better not add other redundant elements. So you can make photos with a layer of more fantasy space, also can often show the broad environment. The best time to take silhouette photographs is half an hour before the sun down, at this time the sun angle, the lowest temperature is the most warm which is easier to produce excellent works of literature and art effect. Silhouette photography, the simple outline of the main outline of the photography has traditionally been easy to attract the viewer's line of sight, but does not take silhouette casually can be attracted to others. The shooting object is better to have a relatively large action or a number of subjects to echo each other, so as to make the picture full of vitality.

(4)Use filter more

Taken with the author of the most commonly used two kinds of filters is gradient lens and polarizer, these two kinds of filters can be respectively used the sea often appear all sorts of weather situation, let us to go into more detail about them separately. The gradient lens used for scene light situation than too much. This kind of situation appeared in the sunrise or sunset, the sky is brighter than prospects. Half the gradient lens is transparent, and the other half is in the grey lens, there is a smooth transition. Use, we will give half of neutral grey lens "cover" in the bright in the sky, half of the transparent cover your outlook, and it can be two kinds of exposure value balance. If you do not have a gradient mirror, you can also exposure to the sky and the foreground, and then in the late synthesis.

Polarizer is a Marine one of the most useful accessories. It not a lot of process, also just can filter out the polarized light. However, this means that it can reduce the reflection and increase contrast. It affects the most obvious place is the blue sky and the sea, there will have obvious effect. If you are the sea water is clear, and then take a polarizer becomes even more important. It can help you eliminate the surface reflective, make the sea water is more clear and blue.

(5)Shot in black and white work when the weather is bad

The sea of summer weather often rain or shine, if sunny day is enjoyable, you can shoot at random. Catch up with this rainy weather if taken pictures can let a person feel dismal color works, then you can use the technique of black and white. The sea because of its unique climate conditions, appear cloudy and rain or larger. After adopting a black and white film can eliminate the colour of the weather a disadvantage, the passive to active. Due to the unique look and feel and colors of black and white work performance, will be treated as ocean as black and white with a hint of sadness and deep emotion contained in the picture, with dark sky and the sea, don't have a taste. Like the sea was recorded using this technique is also a good choice, as long as the temperament model is suitable for the high and bitter words can foil a model composed of temperament. Be required to pay attention to the matter in detail, black and white sea works must ensure that the sea level is absolutely straight and precision, so as to make work there is a feeling of calm. When shooting in a nutshell, if you met the bad weather condition, will shoot the works in the later converted to black and white is a relatively effective remedial measures.
