Second, camera settings. For a camera in manual exposure mode, it is necessary to set up a camera. Set the camera to m and reduce the aperture, usually 8- 1 1, and reduce the ISO, 100 or 200. The shutter speed depends on the situation at that time. You can also take photos to see the exposure effect before making adjustments. Format photos into RAW format. The camera has "long exposure noise reduction", which can reduce noise after turning on, but it will waste your time. Control yourself.
Third, put it on the shelves. Because of the long exposure time, you need to find a stable tripod and turn off the anti-shake function of the camera and lens.
Fourth, the timing. Shoot in the evening when the weather is clear and the atmosphere is transparent, when it is just dark and the street lights are just on. Don't wait until it is completely dark. It is suggested to take the same photo at different times and synthesize it by HDR later, so as to get a photo with details in the dark highlights.
Because there will be strong light at night, the UV mirror in front of the lens may cause dazzling ghosts, which can be removed in advance.
Sixth, focus accurately. At night, you may not be able to concentrate. You can learn about small depth of field or manual focusing.
7. In the later stage, digital photos must go through a certain later stage. If RAW format is adopted, it should be opened with original software and adjusted appropriately, such as dark part, bright part, exposure, color and color temperature. . Output with 16 bit TIF. Then open the TIF file in PS for the second paste, such as color scale, contrast and sharpness. Output as an 8-bit JPG file after completion.
If we can do the above, a high-quality night scene picture will be born.
