Ricoon R1V night scene shooting skills
I have seen some articles that take the night scene, written very professional, and most of them are films based. There are very few digital based, lectured, and there are fewer views. Since most of the pocket DC is a fool machine, there is still a lot of different and traditional cameras and all manual digital cameras. Of course, the biggest advantage of pocket DC is that you can record the beauty of your side, this is another professional cannon. Summary Some things that you use R1 to shoot night scenes share with you. Since it is just the beauty of the surrounding, it is impossible to resist high-end cameras like professional photographers, and go to the best place to beside the mountainside, so it is just some amateur experience.
First, how can I not be caught?
Because the aperture of the R1 is not large, there is no manual fool machine, so many novice friends ask, how the R1 night view, in fact, the maximum aperture of R1 is F3.3, than most DC's F2.8 in the same scene In slow half, take an example, in the same light line, other DC shutter is 1/6 seconds, R1 is 1/4 seconds, the gap is not very large, R1 is passed, and more than other DCs Also paste. That is, in most cases, it is necessary to use DC to take a good night scene. All must be a triangle. Unless there is iron hand, it can guarantee that the hand holds for 1 second or can use other methods to stabilize DC (in fact, I am big Most nights have no tripod, all of which are available on site, with a window sill, guardrail, I, bicycle seat or even roadside garbage bin, after all, it is impossible to carry a triangular frame throughout the day). In other words, the idea stabilizing the camera is a prerequisite for shooting night scenes.

Second, about Xingmang
The traditional night scene is a tripod, a small aperture, low ISO extension shutter, which can take the star to add the cargo effect. But these are not fully applicable in small R1, because R1 does not manually, when night scenes can only default the maximum aperture .... and due to the reasons of the R1 shutter shape, even if R1 uses a small photoender, it is the same as the star mangoma ( I used a small photoil during the daylight, so we could only take the R1, try to take a good night scene, as for the star maiden effect, don't expect. Of course, there is no star, it can take a good night scene.
Third, about shooting time
Generally, the best time to shoot the night scene is within half an hour after the sun is arriving behind the mountain, this time is not completely dark, the Hua light is in the beginning, plus the light is already relatively dark, the shutter is slow. If you can shoot the dynamic shadow effect of the small DC is difficult to shoot, you have to take this kind of virtual combination, the photo of the bright and color, can only take advantage of this half hour. However, in this half hour The inner light is complicated and the light change is very fast, so the control shutter speed is critical. Although the fool machine does not directly adjust the shutter directly, R1 will display a diaphragm shutter while pressing the shutter and playback, so you can use some tips to adjust the shutter speed.
When the sky is not fully black, you can take the night scene of blue sky.
After the sky is black, you can extend the shutter time and make the traffic look more intensive.
Fourth, about adjusting the shutter speed
Coke before shooting. R1 has a function of restricting slow shutter, very practical, lock the shutter speed in 1 / 8-1 / 30 seconds, when shooting some lights brilliant buildings, use 1 / 8S shutter with 1/8s, and The average person has a few more than 1/8 seconds, and it is not a paste.
Shutter 1 / 8S, hand-held construction when the intersection is waiting for red lights
When the shutter is in 1/8-1/2 seconds, the general light still does not have the effect of the long line, but this shutter speed is enough to shoot the dynamic effect, this time is more difficult, it is best to find Stabilize the camera in a place.
Shutter 1 / 3S, use the roadside electric pole to rely on shooting
The shutter speed can be adjusted within a certain range by adjusting the exposure compensation or semi-press to reform. Since the darkness of the night scene is large, it will cause a lot of trouble to measure the light, so it is not possible to excessively believe the camera's metering, but also determined according to the image displayed on the LCD (the advantage of digital cameras), because the Light R1 LCD The brightness can be adjusted, so it can be adjusted to the LCD brightness to the computer screen display in advance, which can be played back to the exposure in time. It is not accurate. In order to avoid exposure of the light, it is best to reduce the exposure compensation of 0.3-1 EV. It is also possible to measure light after lightning, and then refine the shutter. When the sky is further dark, the shutter will need to reach 1 second. At this time, it is not too accurate through the shutter. (Because the slow shutter of R1 is 1 / 2S, 1S, 2S, 4S, 8S multiplied up ), It is recommended that you can use mediation ISO approach to get more accurate exposure, which is generally available from ISO64 ISO100 ISO154 (automatic) ISO200.
In addition, because of the randomness of the traffic light, it is recommended to shoot more, anyway, the digital is not waste film.
5, pedestrians will have a lot of color to the picture
Many friends like to avoid pedestrians when they start shooting the scenery. In fact, they don't have to be in the evening. Because of the car flow, most pedestrians taken under the night becomes vain, and the portrait will have a lot of color to the picture if the figure is in the appropriate position of the picture. If the processing is performed properly on the photo in the later period, it will add a lot of human feelings.

Six, the selection of scenes
The city night scene actually pats the nightlights and buildings, so it is best to choose a bustling place or more lights in the evening, more distinctive places, so if there is a water around, it will be more beautiful, if you want to shoot The sky of the sunset is reflected, and it is also necessary to choose a relatively open scene, do not let the high-rise building block the sky. Generally speaking, near the bridge, urban square, high-tech development zone, city logo special building is a good photographing location

Seven, the choice of white balance
In fact, this is a problem with personal hobbies. Different white balances bring different tones, there will be different effects.
Let's talk about so much first, I will summarize the two most important points of shooting night scene: 1 must stabilize the camera (you can use yourself); 2 must take more
