Experienced photographers, as soon as they see the parameters of this photo, will definitely think that my parameters are wrong. With such a high shutter speed, it is impossible to shoot the lake so silky without any waves. Because in the middle of the day, you want to shoot the silky texture of the lake, you need to add ND to reduce the light, so that the shutter speed can be extended to more than 15 seconds to shoot out. That is, it takes a long time for exposure to try this texture and how it can be shot in such a short shutter time.

Yes, the traditional shooting method is to use ND filter to shoot with weak light intensity. So now there is actually an easier way to shoot, that is, the Sony camera APP "smooth reflection." Let you take long-exposure wire drawing without using ND filters.

Steps:

1, open the smooth reflection APP.

Press MENU to enter the camera menu, find the application list, and open the smoothing reflection APP. There may be differences in the menus for each model of the camera, so the drawings in this article are only for Sony's full-format micro-mono A7RII. Other cameras refer to the search, and the menu difference should not be too great.

2, choose shooting theme.

The smooth reflection APP gives intimate reflections of the night scene, water flow, silence, smoke, monochromatic, and self-defined several common subject selections, together with the applicable scene descriptions and maps for each subject. Easy to understand, you will see it.

If you want to shoot a calm lake, simply choose silence, put on a tripod and press the shutter button to shoot. The camera will automatically take a lot of photos. Don't worry, the final photo is just one. The smooth reflection APP works differently than the slow shutter long exposure. The long exposure is an exposure, and the smear caused by the flow of water allows water to flow like silk. However, smooth-radiation APP is synthesized by a camera software algorithm through a large number of short-exposure photos. However, with the same goal, the final imaging results are similar.

Or when shooting the night lake, select the night reflection and press the shutter directly. You will easily get a standard night long exposure photo. Even the mirror effect obtained by a single long exposure is even more delicate because of the continuous exposure of 21 long-exposure photos synthesized by the smooth-radiation APP.

3. Make some adjustments.

High-end players may not yet meet this effect. It does not matter, smooth reflection APP also provides a wealth of personalized settings. In the smooth reflection shooting interface, press MENU to see these settings.

smooth. Used to control the intensity of the smoothing, and Lo, Mid, Hi are available in three gears to control the smoothness of the water surface. Of course, the higher the intensity, the more the number of shots (32 shots by Lo, 64 shots by Mid, and 128 shots by Hi), which takes longer, and the drawing effect is more delicate.

The self-timer is used to avoid camera shake.

Photo size, aspect ratio, image quality. The key to the first two is that the image quality supports the RAW format, which provides a great color space for post-grading.

4, custom settings.

Seeing seniors here may have found that all the above shooting theme settings have no way to adjust the exposure parameters, because these are given to the camera to determine, which is the so-called automatic mode. P/A/S/M files, all of which do not work here, aperture shutter ISO can not be adjusted. These automatic modes are suitable for beginners, but they are obviously not enough for professional photographers. So smooth reflection APP also has a close custom pattern. In custom mode, photographers can use their favorite M file, aperture, shutter, ISO arbitrary settings. My camera, I call the shots.

In addition to the settings mentioned in “Slight Adjustments” above, the settings in Custom Mode also include: Focus Mode, Diagonal Area, Exposure Compensation, Metering Mode, White Balance Mode, DRO/Custom HDR Off, Creative Style, photo effects and more. Don't underestimate these settings. If you are good at using it, you can make JPG straight out with a high degree of completion. You can use it later or even later. For example, you can use the white balance and creative style to color the photos, you can use the miniature landscape photo effect to shoot a similar effect of shifting the axis, or strong contrast monochromatic shooting black and white photos with high contrast.

5, creative gameplay.

Although the instructions in the smooth reflection APP are all for shooting a wide variety of water streams, smooth reflections are not only useful for capturing water currents. In fact there are more creative games played by smooth reflections, such as the busy traffic between the roads at night.

Or the clouds in the sky can also enjoy silky smoothness.

In short, the smooth reflection APP has replaced the ND filter function from a certain angle, making photography easier. I think this is the power of science and technology to lower the professional threshold for photography so that more ordinary users can enjoy the pleasure of photography. Perhaps the future of photography is no longer better than who's technology, but it is better to compare who's creativity. In any case, it's always a good thing to make photography easier with the advent of APP, and look forward to more novel and fun apps.
