Reflections are common, especially on clear days, when blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the lake, forming a spectacle of water and sky.

If you encounter such beautiful scenery, I believe you will take out your mobile phone and take a picture. Recently, I used p40pro+ to have some shooting experience in Guangzhou Dafushan Forest Park. I am happy to share the following experiences.

presents the spectacular scenery of water and sky. There is no doubt that wide-angle shooting is the best, but wider is not always better, because super wide-angle can easily cause distortion of and . Most of the pictures I took were in 4:3 format, which is a focal length of about 24mm, not the super wide-angle 18mm. In addition, the parallelism between the mobile phone lens and the scene should be controlled to make the reflection more realistic.

can be used to shoot water and sky scenery in normal, professional, HDR, large aperture, full pixel and other modes. However, the large aperture only has 3× light change, and full pixel cannot zoom. So Normal, Professional and HDR are more suitable. Especially for backlight shooting, selecting HDR can balance the light ratio and better show the details of bright and dark parts. The picture below p1 was shot in professional mode, and p2 and 3 were shot in HDR mode.

When shooting this kind of scenery with a mobile phone, exposure is very important. The focus is how to accurately expose the blue sky and white clouds. Therefore, you should choose blue sky and white clouds for metering, and just click on the screen with your finger. As for the underexposure of the reflection part, it can be improved by brightening the dark parts in post-production.

When taking pictures of landscapes with your mobile phone, you should be careful about the composition. Especially for scenes where the water and sky are the same color, you should not stick to mirror images, which are too symmetrical. You should open up your imagination and be creative. For example, vertical banners, above and below water, more and less, all based on beauty, flexible choices. Even better if the prospect is taken in smartly.

The above is just a practical experience and may be biased. Your valuable opinions are welcome!
