From this week, photography life is starting a series of weekly photography tips on our member page! These replace our daily tips, but not at the cost of the volume – we will still make seven tips every week (or photography quotes, inspiration, assignments, and so on as equivalent. Generally, these are only available to our paid members, but I was happy with our inauguration post and wanted to publish it here too!
In particular, I want to share some suggestions related to weather and astronomical events. I use these tips in the field at all times, especially for landscape photography.
1. Rainbow appears opposite the sun
This tip is very self-distinct, but if you did not already know it, I think you will find it very useful! At any time when I am taking pictures of both rain and sunlight, I always take a moment to see in the opposite direction of the sun. The rainbow will appear here if there is any. (This also means that if the sun is very high in the sky, the rainbow will appear below in the direction of the ground, that is, it will not appear until you stand on the edge of a valley.)
2. How to catch “Pink Hour”
Photographers always talk about golden hours, and, to some extent, up to blue hours. But what is “pink hour”? This is a rare phenomenon, and it is Definitely Does not last an entire hour – only in a few minutes – but the whole sky can actually change a beautiful shade of saturated pink! The pink hour occurs only with a blanket near the cloud of clouds or near the ground level, combined with thin clouds in the upper atmosphere. It usually occurs shortly before the official sunrise, or immediately after sunset. I have only seen it many times. However, it is enough to explain to me that sunrise and sunset photography still seems to be meaningful in a day!
3. The full moon is all night
If you want to do Milky Way Photography, it is usually best to avoid full moon. And not just because it is very bright … also because you cannot work around it! The full moon is above the horizon all night. However, a half -moon or semi -chandelier moon will be below the horizon for at least part of the night. Knowing this, you can plan your milk efforts accordingly, and you can only look at the moon and know whether it will go below the horizon.
4. How to know when the Milky Way Core is the highest
Talking about night sky photography, do you know when the core of Milky Way is the highest in the night sky? The answer is during the months of June and July (especially on Sankranti around 20 June). This is true in both northern and southern hemisphere. You can still take good night photos at other times of the year, but if you expect to travel around June/July, be sure to check the moon schedule and plan for some milky shots!
5. Fog is most often visible in the morning
Many landscape photographers make the mistake of thinking that sunrise and sunset are basically equivalent. As an owl of one night, I want this to be true, but the simple fact that sunrise is often going to be better for photography than sunset. Why? Fog! The dew collects overnight, and then it starts to evaporate with the sun’s early rays. This process can lead to some incredible photos that you cannot capture at any other time of the day.
6. Dust and pollution how to affect sunrise and sunset
This tip is both good and bad – good because it can give rise to some beautiful colors in your photos, but bad because the underlying cause is not pleasant. In short, if there is a high level of wildfire, volcanic explosion, or air pollution, you will be terminated with too much vivid colors around sunrise and sunset. Although it has the ability to some unique photos, but be careful not to stay out for a very long time, where the air quality index it is bad.
Quoting this week:
“Bad weather makes good photography.”
-Sell adams (probably)
Some sources claimed that this is an an ancell adams quotes, but I could not find that they originally said, if they did it. But no matter who said this, take it from the heart! I personally capture at least half of my favorite photos in the weather conditions at least in the event, below the cold to the temperature. More interesting accessories are just in crazy weather conditions, so go out from there and – safely! – Take some photos when the conditions deteriorate 🙂
