Why do we get accurate focus on cloudy or low-light conditions, but the resulting photos always feel blurry, with flat light, no detail, no texture, and flat tones. Why is it that when I take pictures outdoors sometimes, the exposure of the people is normal, but the sky is overexposed or the sky looks blue and white, but the people are very dark?
This is because under certain conditions, the ambient light is not ideal, and the photos taken are affected by the latitude of the digital camera. There are many ways to improve this situation, but the most convenient and effective way is to use a photographic fill light when shooting.
The benefits of using a fill light when photographing are as follows:
1. Outline a beautiful contour light or hairline light
2. Fill light when shooting with backlight
3. To generate the required light ratio, the use of fill light allows the photographer to completely or partially control the light, and to control the light to produce the light ratio we need.
4. The sky can be darkened, so that the expression of the main characters will not be affected because the sky is too bright.
Outline a beautiful contour light or hairline light, the method is to put a fill light at an appropriate distance behind the person, between the person and the camera, and make the light, person and camera in a straight line, and then use a light on the camera. The front side of the character, used as the key light.
To generate the required light ratio, if the ambient light ratio is too large to exceed the latitude of the digital camera, you can use a lamp to fill in the dark part of the character to reduce the light ratio. On the contrary, if the portrait is taken outside on a cloudy day, because the light is too flat and the light ratio is small, you can use a fill light to increase the light ratio.
