9. Creation of Light and Shadow Atmosphere
The charm of light and shadow is endless. As a master said, using light means sculpting objects. Light and shadow is a magician, he can make the atmosphere of the picture be well expressed.
We can use the video lights to create the light and shadow changes of the picture according to the theme. Such as: Want a peaceful atmosphere or a world of images with interlaced light and shadow. When making light and shadow, the choice of light intensity is very important. If the light is too weak, the shadow is not obvious, so choose a lamp with a higher power. Secondly, some accessories should be used, such as the mottled light and shadow produced by the grille, the heavy light and shadow produced by the honeycomb, the soft light and shadow of the soft box, and so on. Finally, pay attention to the height of the lamp and the direction of projection, which will determine the direction of projection.
10. The Flash Can Get High-sharpness Pictures
The sharpness and clarity of photos are what we often require. The turbid and unclear pictures do not meet the requirements of photography under normal circumstances.
Then, we need to clarify the several conditions that determine the sharpness of the photo, namely, small aperture, stereo light, good imaging lens, high-pixel photosensitive material, and so on. Among them, the small aperture (a smaller aperture has a large depth of field and a long clear range), and the two points of the stereo light are related to the flash. When the light is illuminating from the side, the surface mechanism and texture of the subject can be expressed very well.
If we want to get a smaller aperture, then the flash must reach a certain intensity. Only in this way can we ensure that we close the aperture while ensuring adequate exposure. The different position changes of the flash can get different three-dimensional changes of the model, such as side light, front side light, side backlight, etc.
11. Pay Attention to the Temperature of the Tungsten Filament Lamp in the Continuous Light
Light that does not flash instantaneously, we call it continuous light. Among them, the tungsten filament lamp is the most typical. The light it emits is a kind of soft light, and the contrast between light and darkness caused on the model is small, and the projection is softer. The lighting area is large and the brightness is relatively uniform, which is suitable for uniform lighting of a large area. Tungsten filament lamps also produce relatively high temperatures during use, so be careful to avoid strong vibrations during use, and do not touch them to avoid danger.
12. Constant Lighting Makes it Easy for me to Control the Depth of Field
Although continuous light also has strong illumination brightness, it is still very weak compared with the flashing studio light. So when shooting indoors, if we want to get a smaller depth of field and blur the background environment, to a certain extent, we must first use a large aperture to shoot. A weaker continuous light can meet this requirement of ours.
13. The Color Temperature of Tungsten Light Will Make You Warm
The color temperature of light is different, the color presented is obviously different. The color temperature of a tungsten lamp is about 3200K. Under such light source illumination, the model will be biased towards the light source color. In this way, a light source with a lower color temperature will show a yellow and red color tendency, which makes the picture produce a warmer tone. This is suitable for shooting classical portraits. The light of the sunset in the evening is also close to the color temperature of the tungsten lamp.
14. Continuous Light Quality
Today’s continuous lighting is basically led by LED lights because of their high intensity. In terms of light quality, we can basically divide it into soft continuous light and harder continuous light.
Soft LED continuous light is basically a weak light. The concentrating LED continuous light can make the model produce very obvious light and dark light and shadow effects. These are hard light. Due to the strong brightness, the model tends to feel dazzling. Therefore, when we use it, we basically use the soft continuous light as the main light. And use the concentrated continuous light as the auxiliary light, contour light or modification light. However, when performing drama or highlighting the personality of a character, we will use the condensing LED light as the main light, pursuing large light and shadow and contrast.
