Composition tips for camera shooting How to use camera to shoot composition

1. Horizontal line composition. Due to the existence of the horizon, horizontal composition can be said to be the most commonly used composition method in landscape photography. The rhythmic horizontal sorting method gives the photos a smooth, stable and atmospheric temperament. Of course, such horizontal horizontal lines also exist in nature. Use your photographic eye to capture the appropriate horizontal lines. (The original picture was taken on a mobile phone).

2. Vertical line composition. Vertical line composition gives people a visual experience of order, stability and solidity. Suitable for towering scenery. Such as: buildings, trees, mountains and cliffs, waterfalls, etc. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/16, 1/200 second, ISO200, focal length 35mm)

3. Diagonal composition, directional composition, artificial arrangement is obvious. It can easily guide the viewer's eyes to the two corners of the photo and back again. Increase the time the viewer stays in the photo. At the same time, the diagonal composition gives the photo a dynamic, lively, and spatial extension feeling. Commonly used for shooting portraits, water flows, roads, buildings, etc. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/4, 1/40 second, ISO500, focal length 35mm).

4. S-shaped composition (curve composition). Natural objects come in various shapes. For example, the scenery on the picture is in the form of an S-shaped curve. It has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic. It creates a sense of beauty, elegance and coordination. Commonly used for shooting scenery, roads, rivers, paths, etc. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/5.6, 1/80 second, ISO200, focal length 80mm).

5. C-shaped composition. The C-shaped composition has the characteristics of beautiful curves and can produce a variable visual focus, making the picture simple and clear. However, when arranging the main object, it must be arranged at the C-shaped gap so that people's vision follows the arc to the main object. The C-shaped composition can be adjusted arbitrarily in the direction. Generally, it is mostly used in industrial and architectural themes. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/16, 1/200 second, ISO200, focal length 20mm).

6. Frame composition uses the frame of the scene as the foreground, which can increase the vertical contrast and decorative effect of the picture and give the photo a sense of depth. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/13, 1/250 second, ISO125, focal length 22mm).

7. Tic-tac toe composition (nine-square grid composition), tic-tac-toe composition is also called nine-square grid composition. Place the subject or the scenery that needs to be highlighted at the four intersections of the "well" character. According to people's perspective habits, the upper left corner is the best, the upper right corner is second, the lower left corner is third, and the lower right corner is last. Usually digital SLR cameras have a nine-square grid reference line setting, which can be set to display, making it easier to accurately point when shooting. (Original picture shooting parameters: F/1.8, 1/125 second, ISO320, focal length 50mm).

8. Vanishing line composition (vanishing point composition method or converging line composition), the visual experience of large and small near and far, especially in the wide-angle lens, the effect is exaggerated and obvious. Visible or invisible lines converge and disappear at a point. For example, placing the subject in the center of the vanishing line not only highlights the subject, but also firmly captures the viewer's gaze, increasing the time the gaze stays on the photo. (Original photo shooting parameters: F/16, 1/200 second, ISO200, focal length 26mm)

9. Symmetrical composition method, usually used in scenes such as landscapes, buildings, reflections, etc., to form a symmetrical artistic picture . (Original picture shooting parameters: F/14, 1/200 second, ISO200, focal length 31mm).
