The photographer stands slightly to the side behind the model, shooting at eye level, using a centered composition with the model, dressed in black sportswear, placed in the center of the frame. A medium telephoto lens is used to make the background lights and buildings more compact, while appropriately blurring the background to highlight the model. 1. Equipment settings: ① For the roadside position, a wide-angle or medium focal length lens is recommended, such as 16mm-50mm; ② For the manhole in the middle of the road, a super-wide angle lens is suggested for snapshots, with safety in mind; ③ For the farthest position, a telephoto lens is recommended, such as 50mm-200mm. 2. Post-processing suggestions: To capture clear subjects with trailing pedestrian shadows, set the camera to S mode (shutter priority). The shutter speed should be between 3s and 1/15s, adjusting the aperture and ISO to match the shutter speed based on the trailing effect. Daytime settings: Aperture F16-F22, ISO 50-100; Nighttime settings: Aperture F2.8-F5.6, ISO 50-100. 3. Props for shooting: ① Instant camera: Try it out, no need to explain; ② ND filter: A great tool to reduce shutter speed during the day; ③ Portable tripod: Recommended for nighttime shooting due to slower shutter speeds, improving photo quality, and then capturing the moment with an instant camera. Additional tips: Always keep your personal belongings safe when taking photos.
