Night photography skills

1, the use of light as a guide line, night photography in addition to light problems, another difficulty is very difficult to compose, if it is daytime shooting, you can easily find some elements, such as road ah, the river ah to guide the audience's eyes to your picture, or the use of foreground in the object to create some of the main body. But at night, these elements are melted into the dark background, so they no longer have a strong composition, but don't worry, the most prominent elements of the composition of the night and the lights, you can use these lights to give the picture to create a very good composition effect.

Exposure refers to how bright the picture is, and adjusting this setting is critical for nighttime photography, because a dark environment can trick your phone into automatically shooting with a wrong exposure. In principle, your camera will want to expose the darker parts of the picture enough, which will result in all parts of the picture being brighter than it is. So the right thing to do is to set the right exposure for the highlights (the bright parts of the picture) so that the colors and details in those areas are visible, and this will result in the shadows (the dark parts of the picture) being darker than they actually are, which means that the black parts are just going to appear black.

When composing photography, a good practice is to have this well-lit area surrounded by some darker negative space, these black, blank areas will form a frame that better draws the viewer's eye to the main subject being illuminated by the light source.
