Autumn photography skills

Autumn photography, in addition to discovering beautiful scenery, mastering uncomplicated shooting methods and techniques is the only way for you to appreciate beautiful autumn. This autumn's natural palette has given enough material to play, and the artistic reprocessing of photography is a stroke of genius in your hand.

About the shooting time

When shooting autumn scenery, the best time is early morning and evening. The closer the shooting time is to sunrise or sunset, the more prominent the warm color is. Elongated shadows show detail and depth. Cloudy weather is best if you shoot autumn colors in the forest. However, a tripod is essential.

About light

To enhance the feeling of autumn, you may wish to shoot with side light at dusk and sunset. At this time, the light is soft gold, shining on the big forest full of yellow leaves, with suitable prospects and even expressing autumn! You can also see the texture of the leaves in the backlight.

On the application of lines

Lines play an important role in composition or shooting subject matter, and autumn shooting should not be missed! In autumn, rows of tree trunks are lined with yellow leaves, the clear and concise dividing line between reeds and lakes, and the sense of extension formed by stone steps automatically form a good picture. Pay attention to the surrounding lines to make a composition!

Use shallow depth of field

When you encounter a unique tree trunk or beautiful red leaves, you can use shallow depth of field to avoid the clutter of photos and highlight the protagonist you want to shoot: increase the aperture, lengthen the focal length, select a far 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.

Use wide angle and telephoto lenses.

Wide-angle lens can enlarge the sense of space and take a "sense of scene", and telephoto lens can compress the foreground and background, which is suitable for shooting mountain environment covered with yellow leaves or red leaves on both sides of a long road. Sometimes you don't have to take the autumn element directly as the protagonist. Instead, you can add the foreground or background of autumn when shooting other subjects, which makes people feel more wonderful to be in autumn scenery.

Color contrast composition method

If the picture is all red or yellow, which is too depressing, it is necessary to use the contrast of different scenes to form a unique autumn color on a dark tree trunk, hillside or lake. Matching the house or the blue sky is definitely an excellent shooting theme!

Slow shutter

Using a slower shutter (for example,110s or 1/20s), you can take abstract photos full of red and yellow.
