Résumé

TLDRI videon diskuteras vikten av ljus i fotografi, olika typer av ljus och hur ljuset kan förändra bilder. Naturligt ljus är en fotografs bästa vän och det är viktigt att kunna hantera detta ljus för att ta bra foton. Gyllene timmen och blå timmen är specifika tider på dagen som erbjuder speciella ljusförhållanden. Överbelyst ljus och hårt ljus runt middagstid kan också användas för att skapa intressanta bilder. Stormigt och dimmigt ljus kan ge dramatiska effekter. Videon avslutas med vanliga misstag att undvika när man arbetar med ljus i fotografi.

Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    I den här videon diskuterar jag ljusets betydelse i fotografering och dess påverkan på bilder. Jag delar även med mig av några tips och vanliga misstag att undvika. Citat från Ansel Adams lyfter fram ljusets roll i ett bra foto. Naturligt ljus är det lättaste att arbeta med, men kräver förståelse och hantering. Ett av de bästa naturliga ljusen är "golden hour" som inträffar strax efter soluppgång eller innan solnedgång.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:06

    "Blue hour" inträffar en timme efter solnedgång eller innan soluppgång och ger en mystisk känsla med sina djupa blå nyanser. Molntäckt ljus ger mjuka skuggor och är idealiskt för porträttfotografering. Mitt på dagen med starkt ljus kan också skapa fantastiska bilder med rätt teknik. Stormiga och dimmiga förhållanden erbjuder dramatiska bildmöjligheter. Jag diskuterar också sex vanliga misstag vid hantering av ljus, såsom överexponering i starkt ljus och underexponering i svagt ljus.

Vidéo Q&R

  • Varför är ljus viktigt i fotografering?

    Att förstå och använda ljus korrekt är avgörande för att ta bra fotografier.

  • Vad är naturligt ljus i fotografering?

    Naturligt ljus innebär ljus från solen och kan vara svårt att kontrollera, men är viktigt för att skapa bra bilder.

  • Vad är gyllene timmen i fotografi?

    Gyllene timmen refererar till en timme före solnedgång och en timme efter soluppgång, där ljuset är mjukt och varmt.

  • Vad är blå timmen?

    Det är ljus som finns en timme före soluppgång och efter solnedgång när himlen fortfarande har blå nyanser.

  • Vad är molnigt ljus?

    Det sker när himlen är täckt av moln och ljuset blir diffust, vilket är bra för att fotografera porträtt och landskap i skogar.

    in this video I'll talk about the most
  • 00:00:02
    important element that makes photography
  • 00:00:04
    possible why
  • 00:00:06
    [Music]
  • 00:00:16
    I'll explore different types of light
  • 00:00:18
    and how it can transform your images and
  • 00:00:21
    I will also share some tips and some
  • 00:00:23
    mistakes that you want to avoid along
  • 00:00:24
    the way there are two quotes from Ansel
  • 00:00:27
    Adams that at their core at their
  • 00:00:29
    Essence talk about light a good
  • 00:00:32
    photograph is knowing where to stand
  • 00:00:35
    or sometimes I do get to places just
  • 00:00:38
    when God's ready to help somebody click
  • 00:00:40
    the shutter
  • 00:00:41
    both of these quotes talk about light
  • 00:00:44
    light is the decisive element is the
  • 00:00:47
    element that makes you click the shutter
  • 00:00:50
    now let's talk about different types of
  • 00:00:52
    light natural light is a photographer's
  • 00:00:56
    best friend it's the easiest light to
  • 00:00:58
    encounter because it's everywhere around
  • 00:01:00
    us
  • 00:01:01
    Sometimes It's tricky to master it so if
  • 00:01:05
    you want to make the best of every
  • 00:01:06
    situation as a photographer you need to
  • 00:01:09
    master the understanding the
  • 00:01:12
    understanding of life because you can't
  • 00:01:14
    change natural light it's there
  • 00:01:17
    and you have to know how to use it in
  • 00:01:20
    order to take great photos
  • 00:01:22
    number one the best natural light
  • 00:01:25
    possible it's golden hour our golden
  • 00:01:28
    hour as the name suggests you can think
  • 00:01:30
    of it as an hour before Sunset and an
  • 00:01:34
    hour after Sunrise it's not necessarily
  • 00:01:37
    one hour it depends on the season in
  • 00:01:39
    your location but you get the idea if
  • 00:01:42
    you are photographing within this hour
  • 00:01:45
    you're going to get longer Shadows lower
  • 00:01:49
    contrast and you're going to have those
  • 00:01:52
    lovely orange reddish tint on your
  • 00:01:56
    subjects this is the perfect moment if
  • 00:01:59
    you are a landscape photographer or also
  • 00:02:01
    a portrait photographer it enhances the
  • 00:02:04
    skin color it enhances the landscape the
  • 00:02:07
    colors of fall the colors of the snowy
  • 00:02:10
    if you're photographing in Winter
  • 00:02:12
    everything is
  • 00:02:15
    um looking like a fairy tale if you want
  • 00:02:18
    the second type of light is blue hour
  • 00:02:20
    now the name says blue hour but it's not
  • 00:02:22
    one hour it's in the hour after sunset
  • 00:02:27
    or in the hour before Sunrise it's those
  • 00:02:31
    moments when the sky it's not fully
  • 00:02:35
    black it still has some blue in it and
  • 00:02:38
    it has deeper Dark Shades of Blue and if
  • 00:02:42
    you're photographing for example
  • 00:02:43
    landscapes in Winter you're going to see
  • 00:02:46
    those shades of blue really well because
  • 00:02:48
    the snow will reflect this type of light
  • 00:02:52
    and you will have some eerie and
  • 00:02:54
    dramatic and really beautiful scenes now
  • 00:02:58
    this type of light is perfect to
  • 00:03:00
    photograph cityscapes because at this
  • 00:03:03
    moment you also have details in the sky
  • 00:03:06
    but you also get the lights in the city
  • 00:03:10
    and you are capturing a magic moment if
  • 00:03:14
    you want the third type of light
  • 00:03:16
    overcast like this is happening when
  • 00:03:19
    you're having clouds all over the sky
  • 00:03:22
    and the clouds are acting like a really
  • 00:03:25
    huge diffuser then the Shadows are
  • 00:03:28
    really soft and you can't necessarily
  • 00:03:31
    see a true direction of light although
  • 00:03:34
    this uh the direction of light can be
  • 00:03:37
    visible in some elements this is the
  • 00:03:39
    perfect moment to photograph portraits
  • 00:03:42
    because you have even light and you
  • 00:03:45
    still get some really thin and low
  • 00:03:49
    contrast Shadows that you can control it
  • 00:03:51
    really easily it's the perfect moment if
  • 00:03:54
    you're a landscape photographer to
  • 00:03:55
    photograph inside the forest before
  • 00:03:57
    photographing in the forest in a day
  • 00:03:59
    with when the Sun is up in the sky
  • 00:04:01
    you're going to get all those patchy
  • 00:04:04
    areas of light that don't look
  • 00:04:06
    interesting but now you're having evil
  • 00:04:09
    light and there's a lot it's a type of
  • 00:04:11
    light that kind of floods the forest and
  • 00:04:14
    it can create really beautiful and
  • 00:04:16
    interesting images the the fourth type
  • 00:04:19
    of light is Harsh light or midday light
  • 00:04:23
    this type of light is characterized by
  • 00:04:25
    having Deep Dark Shadows and the
  • 00:04:30
    contrast is really big the differences
  • 00:04:32
    between the highlights and the Shadows
  • 00:04:35
    these are um are really great in terms
  • 00:04:38
    of stops of light and that is why some
  • 00:04:41
    cameras have problems in capturing the
  • 00:04:43
    entire dynamic range and in only one
  • 00:04:47
    setup and even in this type of light you
  • 00:04:50
    can have some really interesting
  • 00:04:52
    opportunities if you're photographing
  • 00:04:54
    portrait you can look for buildings that
  • 00:04:57
    either block the light of the sun
  • 00:05:00
    completely and now you're having a
  • 00:05:02
    uniform light on your subject or you can
  • 00:05:05
    use buildings to reflect the light on
  • 00:05:07
    the face of the subject
  • 00:05:09
    you can also use elements inside cities
  • 00:05:14
    that filter this type of light and then
  • 00:05:17
    sometimes create beams of light or let
  • 00:05:20
    only part of the light to pass and
  • 00:05:23
    you're having the subject in that
  • 00:05:26
    Spotlight in that area of light and you
  • 00:05:30
    can create some contrasty and beautiful
  • 00:05:32
    images now if you are a landscape
  • 00:05:35
    photographer some people are afraid of
  • 00:05:37
    photographing in the middle of the day I
  • 00:05:40
    if I'm in the perfect location and the
  • 00:05:44
    perfect location for me for the midday
  • 00:05:46
    is for example in the Dolomite where
  • 00:05:49
    there are so many Peaks and you get
  • 00:05:52
    areas of Shadow and dark and Darkness
  • 00:05:55
    and Light and this alternation between
  • 00:05:58
    these two elements can really create
  • 00:06:00
    some beautiful and spectacular black and
  • 00:06:03
    white images and the last type of
  • 00:06:06
    natural light before I talk about some
  • 00:06:09
    mistakes When approaching light and
  • 00:06:11
    photography is stormy and foggy
  • 00:06:15
    situations these two types are let's say
  • 00:06:18
    something
  • 00:06:20
    that can happen in any day but when you
  • 00:06:25
    get stormy light you have
  • 00:06:28
    um a part of the sky covered by storm
  • 00:06:31
    clouds and then you get to have a place
  • 00:06:34
    from where the sun is shining its light
  • 00:06:36
    through those clouds and those moments
  • 00:06:39
    are really great they're dramatic they
  • 00:06:42
    are for great contrast and they're
  • 00:06:43
    really spectacular
  • 00:06:45
    the other type 4G situation it's perfect
  • 00:06:49
    to photograph inside the forest it's not
  • 00:06:51
    a situation when you want to photograph
  • 00:06:54
    on top of the mountain because only the
  • 00:06:57
    only thing you see is fog in front of
  • 00:06:59
    you but if you are in the forest you are
  • 00:07:02
    going to get some really nice images
  • 00:07:05
    that you can relate them to fairy tales
  • 00:07:08
    if you want and now let's quickly talk
  • 00:07:10
    about six mistakes that you can do in
  • 00:07:14
    approaching light one you can overexpose
  • 00:07:17
    in her slide when you have deep and big
  • 00:07:21
    contrast between the highlights and the
  • 00:07:24
    Shadows I always prefer to consider
  • 00:07:26
    details in the highlights and take the
  • 00:07:29
    Shadows even to completely black mistake
  • 00:07:32
    number two is underexposing in low light
  • 00:07:35
    the problem with this is when you're
  • 00:07:38
    going to want to increase the exposure
  • 00:07:40
    depending on the camera that you're
  • 00:07:43
    having and the sensor you're going to
  • 00:07:45
    have have lots of noise that's why if
  • 00:07:48
    you had to increase the iso in a low
  • 00:07:50
    light situation make sure the exposure
  • 00:07:53
    is okay you don't need to drag it even
  • 00:07:56
    more to expose it even more mistake
  • 00:07:59
    number three is ignoring the white
  • 00:08:01
    balance now you can set the white
  • 00:08:02
    balance in camera or in Lightroom but
  • 00:08:05
    you need to not forget about it if a
  • 00:08:08
    photographing for example the blue hour
  • 00:08:11
    in Winter you want to have those blue
  • 00:08:15
    tints you want to have that blue feeling
  • 00:08:18
    if you're using going to use a shade
  • 00:08:21
    white balance in a situation like that
  • 00:08:23
    then you will probably get rid of most
  • 00:08:25
    of the blue and you're not going to have
  • 00:08:28
    that feeling again if you're going to
  • 00:08:30
    use another white balance that can take
  • 00:08:34
    the oranges of the golden hour and shift
  • 00:08:38
    them more towards blue then again you
  • 00:08:41
    lose that feeling of golden hour so
  • 00:08:42
    white balance is really important
  • 00:08:44
    mistake number four is not paying
  • 00:08:47
    attention to the Shadows sometimes
  • 00:08:50
    especially in harsh light the Shadows
  • 00:08:52
    are really short and can create some
  • 00:08:55
    artifacts that are not pleasant to look
  • 00:08:58
    at so make sure you pay attention to the
  • 00:09:00
    Shadows mistake number five is not
  • 00:09:02
    exposing for light usually I'm looking
  • 00:09:06
    for scenes where I'm having Darkness I'm
  • 00:09:08
    sitting in the in the darker area
  • 00:09:10
    and I'm photographing towards light and
  • 00:09:12
    you always expose for that area of light
  • 00:09:16
    and mistake number six is not placing
  • 00:09:20
    your subject in light the area of light
  • 00:09:23
    will attract the more
  • 00:09:25
    um the most attention so it makes sense
  • 00:09:29
    to have the subject over there and to
  • 00:09:31
    also expose for the light and create a
  • 00:09:33
    contrast and have an image that
  • 00:09:37
    represents something and talks about a
  • 00:09:40
    subject now if you want to learn more
  • 00:09:42
    about landscape photography I have a new
  • 00:09:44
    book on my website I also have a
  • 00:09:47
    workshop slash photo touring to skinny
  • 00:09:49
    next years and people are already
  • 00:09:51
    starting to join the list for that
  • 00:09:54
    Workshop so if you want to learn more
  • 00:09:55
    about landscape photography there's a
  • 00:09:58
    link to my website in the description of
  • 00:10:00
    this video and until next time keep on
  • 00:10:02
    photographing because it's the only way
  • 00:10:04
    that you can get better bye bye
