Doesn’t everyone like to go out with a lot of photographic material and photo accessories to photograph on the street?And not everyone can buy that kind of paraphernalia, if we are lucky enough to have the Sun, an amazing and free light source, why not take advantage of it?Natural lighting can present several challenges, and that’s what makes it interesting in your thousand and one possibilities Are we going to solve this mystery a little more?
Natural light doesn’t have a single direction! Think about the role of the hitter: this causes incident light to spread over a surface that hits the reflector and refill shadows, only influencing lighting because they are constructed of neutral colored materials, such as white and silver. However, they are not gray, so they reflect light and color. Just like a gold batter, the scene, by placing your model next to a vegetable wall, the image will invade the green. Obviously, the intensity of this invasion will depend on the color tones and the amount of light that influences it.
- Window light is one of the most used to photograph portraits.
- But you have to master it and shape your interest.
- Try to imagine the window as a large box of light: in the same way with the light of a light box directed towards your model’s ears it will not be so cool.
- The window light in the same position will not be.
- As it will end up creating very marked shadows on one side of the face.
- Highlighting undesirable expression marks.
- Since it is not possible to change the window as if changing a light box.
- The solution is to reposition the model a little more in front of the light source or.
- In case you prefer a more dramatic and contrasting light.
- Add a paste to your lighting system.
It’ll be a lot cooler if you take a batter! Natural lighting won’t give you complete control of photography, but a batter can be very effective at mastering light. Sunrise and sunset are the best times to photograph, but as these are. moments of strong light and very lateral, you may have difficulty prioritizing photometry. If you give priority to the high lights, the shadows will be very dark; If you want to record shadows, the clear areas will fly, not that it is a problem, because depending on your choices the result can also be amazing in these conditions, another great challenge in these cases is the approach, which is very difficult if you shoot backlight. A hitter (and someone holding it) can be a good way to avoid these episodes!Even if it is preserved, it is better to prevent than to cure.
Measuring natural light is very difficult! You won’t look up at the sky to see when the sun hides or hides behind a cloud and interferes with the quality of the lighting. These natural variations greatly interfere with the progression of a photo shoot, especially if you’re photographing an event and there’s not much time to repeat the click, since the camera photometer isn’t very reliable, especially if you don’t know how it measures your priority, a quick fix is to point the camera in the palm of your hand and restart it there. and then record the scene in front of you. The palm of your hand works more or less like an 18% gray card, so the tones will be well balanced.
You don’t need a 50mm lens to take great photos!This is considered the photographers’ favorite lens, but most end up becoming their slaves and leaving a variety of possibilities just to make close-up portraits with bokeh, especially when photographed on a sunny day. days, there is nothing wrong with closing the diaphragm, increasing the focus area and discovering certain textures. Your lens kit is amazing too!
