Photo by Sue Jing NiSi landmark photographer
Shutter 3s, aperture F8, ISO100
Introduction to the work: The site of Yingtianmen in Luoyang City of Sui and Tang Dynasties is one of the famous "Seven Days Buildings" on the central axis building complex of Luoyang City in Sui and Tang Dynasties, also known as "Heavenly Gate", which is the south gate of Ziwei Palace of Luoyang City in Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was built in the first year of Sui Daye (605) and excavated in 1991, and is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
I chose the tall building on the side of the site, which is facing the sunset and has a panoramic view of the site, which is a great climbing position. The shooting time is chosen in the golden hour of summer, which is also the most brilliant time period for sunset. At this time, the camera should choose the widest possible focal length to accommodate the sky and landscape into the photo. Due to this large time, it is necessary to use the pre-method of HDR exposure synthesis to ensure that the highlight and dark details of the photo are preserved. In addition, I also carried out a separate metering of the sky, recording the flow of clouds at sunset time, which is convenient for stacking the sky later, and the sky after the stack is clearly layered, full of order and beauty, and the quality of the photo is further improved.
