雪夜人像摄影

思路1:要找光源 – 霓虹灯、路灯、车灯,甚至是地面的反光,手中的闪光灯, 手机等

思路 2: 找反差 – 利用灯光的暖色调与雪地的冷色调形成冷暖反差,冷暖色在同一画面中体现。

思路3:找细节,特写画面拍好一个细节特写,身边的细节随时都有,选择有特色,有对比的细节拍摄局部小景通过光影的局部来展现雪景的另一种美

思路 3: 正确使用闪光灯 – 在白天拍摄时,我们往往要选择暗背景,来衬托出白色的雪花;而在夜晚开闪灯拍雪花却恰好相反,需要选择稍亮处作为背景。理由很简单,因为夜晚的环境光本来就不足,开启闪光灯更是会进一步“压暗”背景。

思路 4: 使用慢门 – 夜景在霓虹灯的照射下,如梦如幻,宛如仙境,而夜景是很适合慢门的。使用稍慢的快门速度 1/10 秒

思路 5:逆光拍摄 – 可以借助灯光营造出梦幻的光影效果,逆光无疑是很好的选择,逆光拍摄比正面打光更加容易,光源也更好选择,例如车灯、路灯等都是很不错的光源。而且,逆光拍摄可以直接将主题拍摄为剪影,控制起来也更加简单。

思路 6: 拍出雪花 – 雪花飘落的长度,密集度都可以通过调整iso和快门来调整。如果想拍摄颗粒状的雪花,就调高iso,把快门调快到1/100秒以上。
