Part one: Characteristics of night photography skills

No.1 main body outstanding, distinct themes Night photography, because it was dark, unnecessary damage even picture the scene is deeper into the darkness, and the subject or the main part of the scenery, because your needs, with appropriate lighting to highlight, with distinct impression to people. Such as shooting a construction site, some of which are mixed and disorderly deposits, or old barrack, by difficult to avoid the in the picture during the day, but at night, most of these things were hidden in the dark, the subject can use lights out easily. Visible, night photography has the characteristics of the subjects, themes, and bright.

No.2 exaggerated scenery, apply colours to a drawing the atmosphere Night photography, due to the unique shooting method and processing technique, make it have exaggerated scenery, apply colours to a drawing the atmosphere of the special features. It can use the light tone, the scenery of your subject exaggeration, to make them more outstanding than real-life scenery, has a strong appeal. In addition, it also can take special photography technology, take full advantage of the characteristics of the surrounding environment, rationally rendering, make the atmosphere of the spot is very strong.

For example, shooting at a railway station, if taken in the daytime, the picture is not busy, the train is not much, the atmosphere is not strong. As in the night, you can use the method of multiple exposures, every one train to the shutter, the canvas prints on leaves all bright headlights lines of the locomotive, train Mercedes busy effect is achieved.

No.3 light source is various, effect of double night photography often can appear at the same time a lot of light, and light source is different during daytime. Like light, light, the moonlight, or a sunset, etc. In the night scene photography has a dual role: both lighting light source, is an integral part of the picture. A night scene photography, screen no lights, light, moon lighting scene, so the atmosphere of the night scene photography is greatly weakened.

No.4 the subject, still give priority to At night, the subject is given priority to with the stillness of the scene, should not be commonly taken action quickly. Because the night light weak, all kinds of landscape illumination is very low, when shooting needs a long time. In addition, at night the light contrast is very strong, bright and dark places where it is very wide, if you take quick exposure, the film by underexposure not guild, and reduce the picture level, photograph lacks glamour.

Part Two: Matters needing attention of night photography skills.

No.1 prevent cameras move canvas prints night scene photos, to tighten the camera on the tripod, or in a stable solid place. Adjust aperture, shutter button, observe the scenery, don't touch the motivation, especially when multiple exposure, more strict requirements, otherwise, the film will appear ghosting, make the film failure.

No.2 aperture at night, it is important to pay special attention to use an aperture. Some night, because the light is very dim, shooting distance could not be determined accurately, therefore, often with a narrow aperture increase the depth of field, the range of ways to deal with. Some relatively fixed the position of the scene, the light change is not big, so the aperture may be appropriately smaller, but the exposure time be extended accordingly and in this way, scenery of clear scope can be bigger. When multiple exposure, but according to the strength of the spot light, with aperture to adjust volume.

No.3 the distance on the determination of shooting range to accurate as far as possible, otherwise directly affect the clarity of scenery. Generally speaking, a big scene at night can be put in the infinite distance. Middle, close shot, focus, focus on the more clearly the better. Focus should be on the subject or the main part of the scene, with a torch light before determination. Once established, would not be any change in the process of filming.

No.4 exposure of mastering the night scene photography exposure is more complex, cannot rely on the meter, and should set out from the actual error rule. The exposure method has two kinds: one exposure and more exposure.

(1)An exposure: An exposure is relatively easy to grasp. Before shooting, before shooting, the camera on a tripod, and then determine the scope of the subject and framing. View to complete, and then check the camera fixed, and the shutter release control the shutter open, a time of exposure. Without the shutter release, available lens cover to control has opened the shutter.

(2)Multiple exposures: two or more exposure is called multiple exposures. It was shot in an exposure can't complete the task of using a method. Using multi-exposure, times can absorb part of the scene; make the canvas prints images rich in content, form and lively.

Using multiple exposures, should pay attention to: one is to separate the light intensity of different scenery, make the most dark scene first exposure, exposure, exposure, less exposure after the brightest scenery. 2 it is some scene could not be first exposure, exposure, artificial light can also be used properly to strengthen the brightness of the dark scene, to adjust the contrast of images. 3 it is to some scenery of the light is too strong or too weak, cannot adjust at the scene, can be made into a film on thinning or thickening processing, also can remedy when magnified.

The night scene photography exposure, it is difficult to have a definite number. Exposure time in more than one second, depend on the photographer estimate by experience. Repeated exposure, exposure time of large scale, if found that some of the scenery or some parts of the scene light is insufficient, can again open the shutter remedy. Whether a exposure or repeated exposure, when filming still sunset sky, so exposure time to cut it fine, would rather underexposed, overexposure, an excessive, photos will lose the characteristics of the night.
