Feb. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Night Portrait photography is a more difficult because of the need to consider the prospect of normal background exposure, but also taking into account the prospect of how to make clear pictures of the characters. Indeed, this is the majority of tourists visit the night when one of the problems encountered. In particular, the automatic transmission is shot using the camera when shooting to open the flash from the camera closer to the characters to get the right exposure, but due to limited range of camera flash with the exposure time is short, making the already very beautiful naked eyes look in the camera the night a dark one.

This is because the distance of the night when the shooting takes a long time exposure to the photo on the left of normal exposure effect, and near the people as the irradiation of flash exposure only a short time on it. So the best time to use the camera shooting the manual, will slow the shutter, while forced open the flash photography. After the flash flash proposed to maintain the original position until the person exposed end, which would shoot the characters and background exposure night photos are normal. However, manual camera, night portrait is not patented, and some advanced digital cameras that have automatic fool the shooting mode, Night Portrait, is the use of slow shutter, compulsory flash this principle to set up.

When shooting a fixed camera to use a tripod, because a long exposure in the background when the need to keep the camera stationary, then a tripod becomes a necessity.

Before shooting, who first made clear to the subject, the flash of a bright, does not mean that filming is completed, the need to maintain the original position and the position does not move, until they were told to change or leave. Flash flash Yes, the shutter curtain, the curtain is reached before the end of the film window, a sign of power, but this time not yet reached the pieces after the curtain windows, (with synchronous shutter time).

Only be reached after the curtain closed position through the aperture until the end of the exposure. Results mirror shutter, the shutter open enough to flash the same time shining moment, but not yet closed the shutter after flash. Night Portrait exposure time required for the often about 1 second, or even longer, after flashing the flash, there is still a long time the shutter was open, to feel the night light, if the subject moves, the former being covered The background section will face the camera and continue to sensitive, so have taken photos, portraits part is a transparent or translucent. Therefore, before the shutter is not closed, the subject should remain intact.

In fact, night portrait to be taken not too difficult, as long as the following conditions:

(1) as far as possible not to use "fool" the camera; a lower level or mid-level "fool" the scene in case of low light camera, it will automatically fill flash, flash fill light of these cameras are not enough people view not enough light, resulting in Almost all black people in an environment that is a black background and the characters (especially the face) a dead white, so even the eyes, nose can not appear. So you want to use a manual aperture adjustment, shutter speed the camera function, even if there is shutter priority, aperture and other functions should also be transferred to hand control of shooting.

(2) Do not over-confident "night mode" that some "intelligent" cameras, a "night mode" but this model can only be set at infinity focus, it can not be used to shoot Night Portrait, otherwise, must be Portrait view of clarity of the pine false.
 
(3) use a tripod. Comparison of the dark night scene light, often use a larger aperture and longer exposure time, the "long exposure" such as using hand-held camera to shoot, almost difficult to avoid camera shake. The fixed camera with a tripod, even if the shutter speed will not occur for up to a few seconds the camera moving phenomenon.

(4) flash. Flash lighting with nearly did not as far away according to the characteristics, of course, by the "inverse square law" of the constraints. So, when people are at 3 to 5 meters away from the lights at the scene at 15 meters away from time to time, the scene suffered flash of light that only one-tenth the number of people, or one of ten properly, basically does not work, if you want to portrait reflected in the three-dimensional effect, should be prepared more than two flash.

When the above conditions can have a night after shooting a portrait, which would be:
 
(1) the first shooting. Reach the spot after the first shooting scene to find worth, determined in the shooting range.
 
(2) King of night after the exposure, determine the combination of exposure because dark night, a camera, if the measured optical device chip by conventional ISO 100 speed, often specific data can not be measured. 1600 or 3200 can press the speed of the exposed film, and then progressively converted into the 100-speed, coupled with the "reciprocity law reduction" factor. For the "S" (short-term exposure, the shutter time is not longer than 1 / 10 second)-type films, if using 1 / 4 slower than the exposure should be increased by 50% to 100% exposure. Night view of the Bund in Shanghai, for example, if with 100 photos, all black the day after the new floodlit buildings rely on the night, consider F8, 1 second exposure combination, to change, you can choose F5.6 , 1 / 2 seconds or F11, 2 second exposure combination.

(3) combined to determine the exposure, the aperture of which is the basis for determining the distance standing portrait. The original flash is to index divided by the distance equal to the aperture, but in here, must be another way to calculate: index divided by the aperture equal to the distance, this is because when the night portraits light aperture is determined according to the scene, rather than flash index to determine the distance and lighting. Now, people at the stand or seat position is determined by the light and the aperture to determine the distance, and at this point, note that: the calculation of the conventional methods, a little reverse thinking to consciousness, is made up of people (standing distance) to test the aperture.

(4) filming, who first made clear to the subject, the flash of a bright, does not mean the film is completed, the need to maintain the original position and the position does not move, until they were told to change or leave. Flash flash Yes, the shutter curtain, the curtain is reached before the end of the film window, a sign of power, but this time not yet reached the pieces after the curtain windows, (with synchronous shutter time). Only be reached after the curtain closed position through the aperture until the end of the exposure. Results mirror shutter, the shutter open enough to flash the same time shining moment, but not yet closed the shutter after flash. Night Portrait exposure time required for the often about 1 second, or even longer, after flashing the flash, there is still a long time the shutter was open, to feel the night light, if the subject moves, the former being covered The background section will face the camera and continue to sensitive, so have taken photos, portraits part is a transparent or translucent. Therefore, before the shutter is not closed, the subject should remain intact.
