Many people think cloudy lane. shooting portraits, in fact this concept isn't correct.

Relatively thin bright clouds cloudy, because light scattering fairly soft, but the best photography climate. In clouds sinking thick dark days or cloudy climate change rapidly, will really on the photographer's formation of larger technology challenges. Want to shoot good cloudy in portrait, at least to pay attention to three important factors: exposure considerations, white balance and color is used. First, we note the cloudy in portrait taken, often more flat supplemental lighting using Flash, easy formation models face hard, but the background is the main Dim.

To exposure, face a hard body regulating or background is dark Genesis, are in the main body of the fill light too. 1. try not to use Flash, large aperture and slower shutter, shutter if unable to maintain the security shutter, consider increasing the ISO level (or use a tripod). This way, at least you can let the subject and the background light more consistent. No subject and the background too light, too dark. 2. If the decision to fill light, you can use a. will supply light hit the reflector, then the reflection to the character's face. B. Flash available manual control, noting the supplemental lighting intensity, not higher than the spot light (which is a bit of supplemental lighting, can improve the camera level data as well). 3. in the cloudy shooting, one important principle is that prefer slightly Under, be sure not to Over, once Over, the color will appear to be flat, but the system is on. White balance and color of the application in portrait photography on a cloudy day, if you want to make a beautiful model is, in fact, you can mix of 「introduction color 」 efforts. For example, a model is in the background darker lines, in perception, the skin will appear whiter, brighter; if the model is a light-coloured background, of perception, the skin will become more scarce, are heavy.

In addition, cloudy color temperature is too high, so that the photo of hue slightly eccentric blue feeling, if your camera has 「introduction cloudy 」 white balance of the project, you can use the project to adjust the color temperature. 1. make a model wearing a lively, beautiful clothes, to avoid a sense of dark and cloudy. 2. make a model is in the background darker lines, skin will appear whiter, brighter. 3. Despite the cloudy sky brightness may still poor and modelling of the skin, a number of levels in the shooting, we should pay attention to this factor. 4. set the 「introduction cloudy 」 white balance project in order to avoid biased blue photo. Observation if it is cloudy match into a 「introduction LLL 」 environment, then we will find: 1. Sun obscured by clouds, it is a diffuse light though, but in the open, the light too is black and white, no shade.
