​Seven reasons to shoot on a rainy day

Soft, shadow less environment

Light and shadow is photography players like the effect, but not only strong contrast, canvas prints light quality is usually harder, more suitable for shooting the image of a heavier sense of personality. So when we want to emphasize the surface texture of the subject, or make the image appear gentle and soft, we will need to soften the light quality, bring people into the shadow or use white reflector to control the light, which is the technique we often use.

What is interesting is that when it is cloudy and rainy, the clouds in the sky are like a super-large light-controlling screen, which makes the sky and earth present a soft and beautiful shadow less environment. If the blue sky is not used as the background color in the picture, canvas prints australia it can make the portrait shooting easier and easier. Cloudy days can be roughly divided into dark cloudy days and bright cloudy days.

A bright overcast day requires only a few extra exposure levels (evs) to create a transparent Japanese image. And dark cloudy days due to ambient light generally not bright, coupled with wind and rain close, it is recommended to moderately increase the sensitivity and exposure. Of course, you can also take advantage of this environment by using flash lights as the main light source, split canvas prints and leaving the ambient light slightly underexposed which not only emphasizes the details of the cloud formation in the sky, but also adds tension to the image.

Free dramatic spectacle: thunder and lightning

Unlike normal, stable weather, the thunder and lightning of a summer afternoon thunderstorm in Taiwan is most shocking, which is why movies or plays always arrange a night of thunder and rain whenever there is an important plot twist. Of course, we don't encourage people to shoot portraits outside on a thunderstorm day, but it's a good idea to shoot landscapes directly or as material for future composite images. In addition, if the contest works are tried to be processed in the way of synthesis, it will be easily revealed because of the inquiry of weather historical data and the large number of photography players. If you just want to publish your works for people to enjoy, it is better to admit that it is a very interesting creation.

Because the lightning light cannot control where to fall, coupled with the occurrence of a blink of an eye, making it difficult to shoot quite high, want to get the perfect lightning shape and location, luck is still an important factor cannot be erased. In addition, when the lightning occurs, the location of the photographer is also very important. In addition to the basic safety issues that should be paid attention to, the collocation of appropriate scenery is also a very important link, with the characteristics of scenic spots, can make your work faster to attract the attention of others.

Charming rain effect

Charming rain always let heaven and earth covered with a layer of beautiful and special confusing effect. But really want to take a beautiful rain, but is not easy to imagine. Like to shoot the rain, the light need to choose the direction of the light or the backlight, to shine through dripping water droplets to form the rain, even more interesting is the rain is a process of moving rain, so I need through the slow shutter, light also needs to give priority to with continuous light sources, the static photographs taken with us common flash condensation obviously different. Therefore, the best time to shoot rain is the sun rain in the evening. Of course, you can also arrange the flash light behind the main body diagonally, which not only helps to draw the edge light, but also helps to condense some of the raindrops, so that the picture has a layer of raindrops and raindrops at the same time. As for the time if not with, so it is necessary to look for the background of the deep distance, the use of contrast, let the front rain can jump out as far as possible.

Colorful rain gear

Have you ever thought rain gear could be a highlight of your shoot? Umbrellas used to be mostly black in color, but that seems to have changed in recent years, especially since convenience stores offer a wide variety of brightly colored styles for their lightweight umbrellas. In addition to all kinds of umbrella, raincoat rain shoes can also be used to match the good props, especially rain shoes, long from the past yellow, black monochrome tone, many beautiful patterns or bright matching colors, let a lot of girls as clothing to wear a part of the. In addition to choosing rain gear to wear deliberately, it can also be used as an interesting element in street shooting, including motorcycle riders wearing raincoats of different colors, or the circular composition of pedestrians holding umbrellas from the Angle above the overpass, all of which are unique subjects to shoot in rainy days.

Special emotional contagion

What kind of condition just can let a person wanton catharsis mood in rainy day? Logically speaking, it is common to hold an umbrella or hide under a cover. Unless you want to get out in the rain, it is probably because you are emotionally aroused and not afraid of the wind and rain. Because of this abnormal state, with all kinds of expressions, more can emphasize the emotional agitation of the heart. So the tragedy of the series always rain, touching reunion is also in the rain, even the movie spider man and destiny true female Mary Jane kiss is also in the rain, is to emphasize the emotional intensity. In terms of portrait creation, in addition to using negative emotions such as boredom, sadness and even crying to cooperate, readers can also try to guide the Model to shoot with positive emotions such as nifty, naughty and happy laughter, believing that there will be more special emotional expression.

A rainbow of hope

Rainbows, which appear briefly in the clear sky after a rain, are often seen as symbols of hope and dreams. Rainbows occur because they contain a wide spectrum of sunlight, refracted and reflected by water in the air, forming a semicircle in the sky. Interestingly, if you have the opportunity to see a rainbow in an airplane, you have the opportunity to see a full circle. The observation position of the rainbow also has its own conditions. One is that the rainbow must appear in the opposite direction of the sun. In addition, to see a clear rainbow, there must be no clouds in the direction of the sun, but there are clouds or rain fog in the opposite direction to make the sky darker and the position of the sun is better in a lower Angle. In addition, many people see two rainbows, but most of them see "neon" with opposite colors. The reason for the formation of the rainbow is that the light is refracted through the two raindrops, so the color is just the opposite of the common rainbow. The interesting thing is that the neon bow is located on the outside of the rainbow, so the color and brightness are dim. Of course, under perfect conditions, it is possible to see multiple rainbows with a third or fourth reflection, but the chances are very low.

Reflections copy the world perfectly

When this world suddenly becomes two perfect corresponding worlds, how amazing it is. In fact, this is not difficult to achieve. As long as there is water on the ground and waves rise without wind, we can see the perfect corresponding image. Although we can see the reflection in water, but want to make clear images, we had better use low Angle shots, because by this time the light appear close to the total reflection condition, so after can let the reflection of image brightness, canvas floating frame closer to the real brightness, plus the water reflects the light is less, so more can present as a mirror reflection effect. Since low-angle shooting is required, and the water on the ground is easy to contaminate clothes or soak the camera into water, it is better to use Live View composition or a type of camera with rotating screen to shoot which can not only protect the camera from water, but also shoot easily.
