Techniques of shooting autumn scenery.

Lead: Students who like landscape photography should know that each season has different photography themes, and outdoor shooting in autumn is more suitable. Yellow leaves, red leaves and Woods are all good protagonists, so what are the skills to take these photos? How should novices prepare for shooting? Look at these 7 tips to make you more confident to shoot beautiful autumn works!

(a) Make full use of the characteristics of "wide angle" and "telephoto" mirrors.

If you want to immerse the reader in the photo, you might as well shoot with a wide-angle lens. You will find that the photos will conform to (even exaggerate) the physical law that "the distant thing is small and the near thing is big". If you print a big photo after shooting, you can increase the presence of the photo!

However, if you find that the distant objects are too small to see clearly, you can use telephoto lenses such as 200mm and 300mm to shoot, and the distant objects in the photo will become almost as big as the nearby objects (or the gap will become smaller), making the foreground and background look like they are "compressed" together, which is most suitable for shooting a mountain environment covered with yellow leaves or red leaves on both sides of a long road!

(B) the use of shallow depth of field to highlight the protagonist

When you walk into a dense forest, or want to shoot a red leaf on a tree, if you shoot as usual, it is difficult to highlight the protagonist you want to shoot, resulting in disorganized and unfocused photos. You can use the "shallow depth of field" shooting method. First, find out the protagonist to be shot, such as the distinctive trunk or the complete and beautiful red leaves, adjust the aperture to lengthen the focal length, select the distant background, focus on the protagonist and press the shutter, then your background will become blurred, and you can express the protagonist you want to shoot more effectively!

(3) Contrast composition of colors

In addition to highlighting the protagonist with the shallow depth of field mentioned in the second point, another technique commonly used in autumn is the "color contrast method", because leaves tend to turn red, yellow and yellow in autumn, and a unique color will be formed on dark trunks, hillsides or lakes, which is an excellent shooting subject!

(4) Let "autumn colors" become a foil tool.

How can I express the feeling of autumn in photos? Sometimes you don't have to take the elements of autumn as the leading role directly, but you can add the foreground or background of autumn when shooting other subjects, which can make people feel wonderful in autumn scenery!

(5) Look for textures and lines

Texture and lines play an important role in composition or shooting theme. Of course, autumn shooting can't be missed! A long row of trunks covered with yellow leaves in autumn, or taking pictures of the texture on the red leaves in the backlight, will also add a special theme to your autumn photo collection.

(6) Make good use of "golden light" to shoot autumn colors.

In order to enhance the feeling of autumn, we might as well use sidelight shooting at dusk and sunset. At this time, the light is soft gold, shining on a large forest full of yellow leaves, plus appropriate prospects, you can express autumn!

(7) Slow shutter and creative composition

Try to use a slow shutter (for example,110s or 1/20s) to aim at the flowing stream, and you can take a time-sensitive photo!
