Panorama Tutorial丨How to shoot sunrise and sunset scenes in VR panoramic shooting?

People are always looking forward to witnessing the afterglow of the sunset, watching the brilliance of the sunrise or sunset sprinkled on the sea level, reflecting a different kind of charm.So how should VR panorama shooting capture sunrise and sunset scenes?In fact, this scene is a shooting scene that beginners are not good at. After all, even if you have a high-quality digital SLR, you may not be able to take good-looking night panorama photos.

​

So there is still a need for better shooting methods, which are much more useful than buying high-quality equipment.The first is the light problem of the camera, because the sunrise and sunset are near night scenes and dawn and dusk, and the time is very short, and it quickly turns into night scenes and daytime.Therefore, the time period at night is not as bright as during the day, so in order to meet the needs of VR panoramic shooting, we need to set the aperture to the priority mode, that is, between F8 and F16, and then reduce the sensitivity for long exposure shooting.

In this way, when shooting night scenes or morning light scenes, you can get more satisfactory works. Of course, if your lens has anti-shake, it is better to close the shooting, so as to effectively ensure the stability of the picture.The second is to choose a good weather, otherwise, if you choose a cloudy and rainy day, you may not directly transition to the evening at sunset.The best time to shoot night scenes is at sunset. At this time, there is still a hint of light on the horizon, and the color temperature is also relatively beautiful. The same is true for sunrise, so it is more effective to choose a time when the sky visibility is better.

​

When shooting night scenes outdoors, using the HDR function can help improve the dynamic range of the photo, and at the same time improve the color level of the scene, so that the details of the bright and dark parts of the shooting scene can be shown in the panorama.This is the method of VR panorama shooting night scene. Of course, there is a method, and it needs to be matched with more suitable shooting equipment, so that the night scene panorama can look better.

1. The first is a tripod, because whether it is sunrise or sunset, it is a low light source scene, so if you want to shoot long exposure, you need to prepare a relatively stable tripod to support shooting, otherwise it is very easyA blurry image will be captured;

2. As for the matching of the gimbal, it is recommended to choose a spherical gimbal. This kind of gimbal is not only easy to operate, but also helps to quickly grasp the angle, which is more convenient in framing and composition;

3. Have you heard of the shutter release?It is an indispensable auxiliary tool for VR panoramic shooting of night scenes. It can effectively avoid the vibration caused by pressing the shutter, and can accurately grasp the exposure time.
