Shooting Tutorial
1. Background selection: Since raindrops are transparent and reflective, it is recommended to choose a dark background. This will make the effect more obvious and allow you to capture the rain. If the background is bright or reflective itself, the rain will not be visible. For example, you can choose dark backgrounds such as trees or buildings when shooting, which can make the rain streaks more distinct.
In addition to choosing a dark background, we can also shoot against the light. Shooting against the light will make the raindrops brighter, highlight the effect of rain streaks, and give the picture more texture.
2. Gear selection: TV or S mode: S mode/TV mode is the shutter priority mode. The camera controls the aperture, and you can adjust the ISO and shutter speed yourself. It is suitable for capturing moving objects. A high-speed shutter is used to capture raindrops and freeze the moment, while a slow shutter is used to shoot effects such as raindrop streaks.
3. Shutter settings: (The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the rain streaks)
1) With a shutter speed of 1/1000 second or more and an ISO set between 400 and 1600, you can capture the effect of raindrops freezing in the air.
2) With a shutter speed between 1/30 second and 1/200 second and an ISO between 100 and 400, you can capture the effect of raindrops looking like silk.
3) With a shutter speed between 1 second and 1/30 second and an ISO set to 100, you can capture the effect of rain streaks like a waterfall.
4. In addition, shooting raindrops through glass, reflections on rainy days, portraits on rainy days, etc., are all good shooting subjects.
