Can you make good films in strong sunlight?

Turning over the photography textbook and recommending the shooting time, most of them suggest "seize the golden time before and after the morning and dusk". Then the question arises again - can't you really take pictures in the daytime sunshine? "No suggestion" in photography does not mean "no permission". Practice is the joy of photography. Breaking the rules often brings you different perspectives.

How to shoot in sufficient sunshine? Here are some key points you can try:

『』

In the daytime, the sun is intense, and the exposure reference point should be carefully controlled. Click on the screen focus box and select the scene in the middle key. When the light ratio in the scene is too strong, it is preferable to shift to under-exposure to avoid high-light over-exposure. Dark details can be adjusted later.

『』

Adequate sunshine is very advantageous in representing the level, color and texture of the scenery. Find different layers of highlights, middle tones and dark parts, as well as all kinds of materials and textures with bright colors and rich details, so as to make the picture richer and more rhythmic.

『』

If you are not good at dealing with the high brightness and contrast of outdoor scenes brought by the strong daylight at noon, the shooting time in the morning and later in the afternoon should be well utilized. Unlike the low-angle sunshine in prime time, the sunshine intensity in the morning and afternoon is stronger, and the plasticity of the scenery is clearer and clearer.

『』

Since there is plenty of sunshine, the corresponding shadowing elements must also be more abundant. Take the sunshine and the shadows covered by the scenery as the main body of the content to grasp. Start with the direction, shape and proportion of the shadows, look for the projection with design aesthetic feeling, and interact with the shadows of creative characters. Shadow elements can greatly enhance the interest of the picture in daytime shooting.

『』

The shape and outline of the building, the composition and material of the facade and so on, show the details of geometry and material in the transition of sunlight illumination, and bring a lot of possibilities of change through the conversion of different angles and light positions.

『』

Don't think it's difficult to use daytime smoothness well. You don't have to stick to light and shade contrast and angle. Make full use of smoothness. Using the composition angle perpendicular to the background plane, you can easily take flat, regular and beautiful pictures.

『』

If the film can not be produced smoothly in the sunshine, it is advisable to reverse the thinking and excavate the scenery from the large area of the background sun. Because of the reflection and scattering of sunlight in the environment, and the enough illumination in the sunny day, the backsun is also suitable for shooting and creation, and the uniform and comfortable tone of the film, so when the sun is strong, it is also a good choice to find the back of the building and the indoor lighting.
