Winter photography skills

Attention should be paid to taking photos in winter

1. In winter, the temperature outside is relatively low, canvas prints and there is a big gap between it and the indoor temperature. Therefore, it is better to put the camera into the camera bag or carry it tightly when we are shooting outside. Also, it's best to avoid taking long shots at low temperatures, which is because a long period of time in a low temperature environment can cause aging of camera equipment to some extent. A moderate length of time can greatly reduce the aging of the camera due to low temperature.

Fog is a very common phenomenon when shooting outdoors in winter. When the lens fogged, photos on canvas australia we should use professional lens wipe or lens paper to wipe the lens. After wiping, keep the lens cover open and make the camera adapt to the external environment as much as possible. Many people will put the camera into their clothes when they see a foggy lens, so as to keep the camera in a warm environment, but this is a mistake. In simple terms, when we put the camera into clothes, the temperature difference of the moment will be artificially caused by the camera, which will aggravate the atomization.

3. Fog water in the camera is also very easy to appear when shooting in winter, which is the condensation of moisture due to the mixing of cold and warm air. Therefore, before opening the lens cover for shooting, we need to wipe the body's atomized water with tissue paper, and then wipe it with the special cloth of the camera after the atomized water is completely dried. Have to say is that some people on the body of fog is not very care about, still open the lens cap, this is a very wrong, in this case, open the lens cap, will make this appear in normal lens of atomization appear even habits, to cause unnecessary trouble, we will to a certain extent, shorten the service life of camera equipment.

Finally, it's important to take one or more extra batteries with you when you're out shooting in the winter. This is because, at low temperatures, our camera battery life can be much shorter than usual. If you don't want to spend extra money on the camera battery, you should do your homework on the shooting time. You should carefully plan the shooting time, which will make you have fun and shooting well.

1. Filter and polarizer

The selection of filters and polarizers is an important part of keeping winter scenes fresh and natural. The filter can absorb the light of short wave such as blue and purple, and cut helps us to reduce the brightness and adjust colors when shooting, so that the picture taken is more natural and full, and also plays a protective role for the lens to some extent. Polarizers, like filters, are essential. Polarizing lens can eliminate or weaken the spots, such as the strong reflection of non-metal surface, which makes the scenes we shoot more layered, and the degree of color saturation will be greatly increased, therefore, the effect presented will also be added quite a bit.

2. Exposure Settings

Most people don't have much professional knowledge about photography, and most of them rely on the built-in function of digital cameras for automatic exposure. However, if we want to shoot more vivid winter scenes, we need to set the exposure manually. The most typical of these is the shooting of snow scenes. As we all know, snow reflects a lot of sunlight, which leads to a lack of exposure. Therefore, we need to add exposure compensation manually to achieve good exposure effect. Although the situation is random, there are some rules to follow.

In general, only 0.5EV exposure compensation is needed for multi-area metering, while the average central focus metering method commonly used is preferred to increase the exposure compensation to 1.5EV.

The adjustment of white balance

The CCD sensor of many digital cameras does not have the function of self-adaptation, and the self-white balance of the camera is quite different from the actual picture, which puts forward the test of our shooting technology. In order to make the picture color and imaging effect perfect, we have to adjust the white balance of the camera manually according to different situations. However, there is no regulation on the white balance, which is mainly based on the photographer's visual sense. However, not all scenes can achieve a good visual effect by changing the white balance. For scenes with snow crystal tightly wrapped, such as the rime, we can't achieve a good shooting effect by simply adjusting the white balance of the camera. We can use the backlight shooting method, which will make the scene more layered and saturated.

2. Different colors and expressions

Winter scenery is not only snow performance, but also many other scenes with different colors, so we need to adjust the exposure to the main color of the scene. But there are rules. In simple words, give priority to with red things to reduce the exposure, taken the picture is more bright-colored, shooting green scenery must ensure that the exposure intensity, otherwise it will lose the vitality of life image, blue scenery needs to reduce the exposure during production, it can increase a sense of mystery, with yellow, increased exposure will make the image more bright. When dealing with colors like black, white, and gray, we simply adjust them randomly by feeling.

Three, dazzling beautiful night scenery

Night scenery is one of the must-take scenes for many people who go out to play. When shooting night scenes, we need to reduce the exposure to shoot. At the same time, you can use the camera's multi-exposure function to take a more colorful night scene.

Four, backlight beat the sun

The sun is a favorite scene of many photography lovers. People can get different inspirations from sunrise and sunset. When shooting the winter sun, we first need to confirm our composition, large prints the close view of the sun will give a strong visual impact, while the distant view of the sun will have unlimited artistic conception. Second, we need to pay attention to exposure. Since there is a lot of sunlight coming into the lens when shooting the sun, it is easy to cause underexposure. Therefore, we should pay great attention to changing the exposure compensation.
