Night view effect 1: star awning effect
1
If you want to shoot the star-studded effect, the first thing to do is of course to find a suitable shooting scene. For the night view of the city, it is easy to photograph the light sources in Starlight Glimmer, such as the most common street lamps. You can find a suitable scene on the roadside at night.

Using the A gear of the camera, the aperture of the camera can be adjusted above F8 under the condition of ensuring the safety shutter, which is the key to the starlight shining effect (small aperture). If the light is really insufficient, we can only increase the ISO sensitivity appropriately. Generally, the ISO recommendation of DX format digital SLR should not exceed 1000, otherwise the image purity will be reduced.

Finally, start writing. Put the point light source in the picture into the viewfinder, hold the camera (or fix the tripod) and press the shutter to get a beautiful photo of Starlight Glimmer.

Night scene effect 2: out-of-focus effect
1
The first step of out-of-focus effect is the same as shooting star-awn effect, that is, you need to find a suitable circular point light source in the dark. Slightly different, the point light source with out-of-focus effect had better have bright colors, so the effect is better.

The second and most important step is to switch the focus mode of the camera lens to MF or AF/MF mode, because out-of-focus is a hazy beauty effect caused by deliberately leaving the focus out of the subject, and the camera itself cannot be completed without manual focus.

Turn the lens focus ring to the longest focus end, and manually adjust the lens focus ring until you can see the favorite out-of-focus effect in the viewfinder. The choice of aperture is more arbitrary. Generally speaking, a small aperture can not only produce the star-awn effect but also lose focus, which is very good.

Night scene effect 1: light path effect
The first thing to do in shooting light path is to fix the camera. Holding the camera can't meet the requirements of stability. So you need a stable and strong tripod (a tripod that is too light can't even protect against the wind). It is best to choose a scene where you can see traffic, such as a pedestrian bridge.

Since there is a tripod, it is very important to turn off the camera anti-shake, because turning on anti-shake when it is stable enough will affect the stability of the picture and cause blur. Take Nikon's lens as an example. Turning off VR means turning off anti-shake at the same time.

Select the m range of the camera. In order to ensure long exposure, it is no problem to choose a small aperture above F 13. Shutter mode adopts B-door or self-timer mode to prevent the body from shaking at the moment when the shutter is pressed. Then start looking at the viewfinder composition, and adjust the exposure time until the exposure column in the viewfinder indicates normal. Finally, press the shutter and don't move the camera until the shutter is closed. After that, you can get a beautiful and dynamic luminous road map.
