How To Get the Light Effect


In my last post, I showed you an out-take of my series that combine nature and sunset-like light. I have frequently been asked how to get this effect in your own pictures. Due to the fact that light is the major part of a picture because you are enabled to add a particular mood, which is quite effective. Such photographs seem to be more expressive. This is why I use to go outside photographing not before five pm. I do not know when the sun sets in your area, but you can easily figure that out by visiting this page and simply typing in your location.

As you probably guessed it right already, to guarantee the maximum of getting this effect you should start to take pictures when this period of time known as Golden Hour is about to begin. The corresponding opposite is known as Blue Hour. During this period of time, your pictures similarly turn out to look quite unique due to the temperature of light. According to my experience, this light is exceptionally suited for panorama shots. Especially, if you are lucky to live close to the sea I urge you to go there very early and capture the sunrise. Believe me, getting up earlier to get this shot is worth it for sure. If not.. No, that is impossible to turn out bad.

Once, you are outside there are merely any steps you need to follow in order to get this effect.
What you need:                             -Your camera

That is all you need. I used both digital cameras and DSLRs and I always achieved the effect I wanted.
What you do:                                 -Search for a location where the sun directly shines to you
                                                       -Reassure that the light either directly shines into your camera
                                                         or onto something you focused on
                                                       -Press the shutter button

That is exactly how it is done. If you are still not content with your images, then you have the possibility to alter the temperature of your photograph.

I know that not everyone is privileged to have professional editing programs like Photoshop. However, who would I be if I did not help you out? Only a minority is aware of the website pixlr.com. It provides a photo editor that looks beautific like Photoshop. Fortunately, appearances are not deceptive when comparing to Photoshop itself. Its photo editor is remarkably powerful and it provides you with abundant tools and even, filters.

Now, nothing can obstruct you anymore from getting these light effects. Always look out for the undiscovered and unnoticed.

If you want to round up your pictures with frames or creating collages, this website is designed to facilitate you that. It is also very easy to use and very beautiful. You should hurry up, because it is still in beta and therefore, it is free! You needn't worry that it is in beta, there are no restrictions and it is flawless.

I hope this post was helpful for you. If I left some questions unanswered, comment below and I will as soon as possible reply and help out.

Bye, Marcel.
