1. What film do you choose on cloudy days?
There are two basic problems in cloudy photography. One is that the light is dark, which causes the shutter speed to decrease. The other is that the color of the film is not well restored because of the dark light, and the color of the photos taken is not beautiful.
You can use a tripod to prevent hand shaking when shooting on cloudy days. In addition, high-sensitivity film can also be used to improve shutter speed and prevent hand shake. Which method to use depends on the specific situation at that time. Generally speaking, tripods can be used to shoot fixed objects such as landscapes. You can capture it with high-sensitivity film. Both methods have their own advantages. The shooting range using tripod is limited, and sometimes even using tripod can't completely avoid the subject shaking. Using high-sensitivity film also has disadvantages. The particles of high-sensitivity film are coarse and the imaging is not very delicate. Take the reversal film as an example. At present, except Fuji PROVIA \u 400 f and TREBI \u 400 are fine-grained ISO400 films, the grains of other high-sensitivity films are relatively thick.
In addition, high-sensitivity color negative also tends to have a less bright color reproduction, especially on cloudy days. Therefore, even on cloudy days, it is best not to use high-sensitivity film. Try not to shoot moving objects on cloudy days. In addition, Fuji Weiya is a low-sensitivity film with quite bright color reproduction ability, which can be used to obtain bright and beautiful images on cloudy days.
Second, how to use the flash on cloudy days.
Another way to solve the problem of poor color reproduction caused by insufficient light on cloudy days is to use a flash when shooting. The light characteristics of flash lamp are similar to sunlight, which can make the color return to normal. However, the use of flash photography is only suitable for shooting subjects such as people and flowers close to the camera, but not for shooting distant subjects such as scenery that flash cannot reach.
Take shooting a bust of a person outdoors on a cloudy day, the light quantity, aperture and shutter speed of the flash should be balanced with each other to obtain satisfactory results. Therefore, it is best not to use aperture priority AE when shooting with flash on cloudy days, but to use program AE.
Even if you use a new machine with multi-zone metering and flash dimming functions, when shooting a bust of a person on a cloudy day, the light shining on the person is very conspicuous, and the person looks very unnatural.
Why is the flash so conspicuous? One reason is that the flash is too strong. Another reason is that the background behind the picture may be very dark, and the dark background sets off the brightness of the flash more dazzling. If these two phenomena exist at the same time, the photos taken are definitely not ideal.
Under the above conditions, it is necessary to compensate the dark background with an exposure of 0.5 ~ 1EV in order to shoot well and make the subject get proper exposure. At present, many AF SLR cameras above the mid-range have the functions of setting flash and exposure compensation, which is very convenient to use.
If the flash amount is too strong, you can set the flash amount to 0.5 ~ 1EV minus the exposure compensation. However, it should be noted that some models only use the built-in flash, and some models can be equipped with an external flash.
When the background is dark, it is usually 0.5 ~ 1EV plus exposure compensation compared with sunny days. However, some camera exposure compensation mechanisms are related to the dimming of the flash. When the exposure compensation is increased, the light quantity of the flash will become stronger. Pay special attention to this. Some cameras are designed with the function of "Don't link the flash during exposure compensation", so you can choose this option. If the camera doesn't have this option, it's better to set it to 1.5EV when using the flash to compensate for the exposure reduction of 0.5 ~ 1 EV.
When shooting with exposure compensation and flash dimming, it may be difficult to judge whether the flash is too strong or the background is too dark. At this time, it is best to take more photos of different combinations, choose the most satisfactory one and sum up experience from it. If you are too troublesome and afraid of wasting film, the result will be farther and farther away from success, and more film will be wasted in the future!
Third, emotional guidance.
The model herself has shooting experience and can understand the expression of emotions well before shooting. After the photographer communicates and confirms the shooting style, the model will soon enter the state. In addition, if you want to achieve the effect that the photographer wants, you need to communicate with the model more and praise the model more during the shooting, so that you can have a more devoted and natural performance. If the photographer finds some subtle movements and expressions unsatisfactory, he can show the film to the model. Through communication, he can let the model know what effect you want to achieve and what can be improved. After the model further understands the shooting intention, there is basically no need to interfere with the model too much, so that the model can express itself. The photographer only needs to adjust the position (personally, the right angle of backhand will make the model feel beautiful).
