This is the basis of photographers, and the metering of cameras is often not so accurate.

The basic rules of sunshine 16 are as follows: in outdoor sunshine, if the aperture is f/ 16, the shutter speed should be the reciprocal of the international sensitivity index of the film used. For example, in outdoor sunlight, if the aperture is f/ 16 and the film sensitivity is EI 100, the shutter

It should be1100 second.

Exposure formula:

Sixteen sunny days and eight cloudy days

Cloudy, eleven days and four nights.

Cloud cover exceeds 5.6.

Rain, snow and sunset.

Be careful when shooting on cloudy days.

A cloud is like a soft box. On cloudy days, shooting can make colors more saturated.

You really have to shoot at the bottom of the sun.

Reflectors or flashlights can be used to control the direction of light reflection. If it's not for silhouette, try not to let the sun shine directly on the camera. A better way is to change the shooting angle and direction, or wait for the clouds to block the sun before shooting.

Try shooting with a lens of 70 mm or larger.

Many mm will have such a question after reading the photos: "Why does my face look swollen?" . Any lens shooting below 70 mm will cause different degrees of deformation. Telefocus will have the effect of compressing the space, and will also deepen the blur of the background.

Shoot the original file

This point has been emphasized many times. When you modify the white balance, exposure, sharpness, etc. Raw files allow you to retain more details and maintain image quality. 6. Bring a gray card or paper.

Raw files allow you to modify the white balance. Suppose you took 300 photos with automatic white balance. At this time, 300 data will appear. When you adjust later, you may need to readjust the white balance of each photo to be consistent. But you can take a gray card at different points and record it in white balance. In post-processing, you can read data directly and save time.

Avoid direct sunlight and shoot in a sheltered place.

Direct sunlight is strong light, which will make the subject have double shadow, hard shadow on his face and inaccurate white balance. For example, in the shade of a tree, only soft and mottled sunlight can make your subject natural, and sometimes you can create a beautiful light shadow effect.

Select a focus

In autofocus, the camera will focus on the object with the nearest lens, which may easily lead to inaccurate focusing, so the autofocus mode is abandoned. Choosing the right focus is what photographers must learn.

Focus on the eyes

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Eyes are the most sensitive point on the face and the most important part of a good photo. When the aperture is fully open, focus on your eyes, and even your skin will be blurred. At this time, you can also save trouble for peeling.

Full aperture, small depth of field

There are quite a few reasons to buy a large aperture lens for you. The most common is to shoot a small depth of field effect. Amazing lighting effects and charming background blur can be obtained from the large aperture.
