Jakarta - One photograph subjects that usually attract attention is the ray of light. Bias sun is shining on the earth memorable dreamy and magical.
Actually not difficult to photograph rays of light, just that we need to observe the light well, is in position and the right camera settings. Some tips to get ray of light (ROL) the following may be tried:
1. The morning in the highlands
In the morning shortly after sunrise, and in the highlands, usually a lot of fog are quite low, as the sun shines through the fog, that's when we can see quite clearly biased light.
2. Photographing behind trees / leaves
Trees and foliage can be split bias sun light so that the lines look more apparent.
3. Find a dark background
Background such as climbing walls, a dark room, or leafy trees will make a ray of light more clearly because of differences in the light dark contrast.
4. Use smoke to refract light
If there is no mist, you can use the smoke to get a ray of light effect. Cigarette smoke and incense (incense) are two popular enameled smoke. Make smoke in the path of light rays.
5. Setting the camera exposure
The sunlight is too bright camera light can outwit calculation (metering). Cameras assume the light is too bright, so choose a setting to limit light, the results can be rather dark picture.
Thus, we often need to set the ISO, shutter speed and ISO manually to get the desired dark light. For the opening, my advice using a relatively small openings such as f/8-f/16 to limit light and improve contrast.
