Six techniques to make your photography more interesting.

When students shoot for a period of time, do you find that the exposure of the photos is correct and the composition is not too bad, but the photos are always a bit dull and ordinary? Here are 6 tips to make your photos more interesting. Join them next time, the photos will be more attractive!

(A) add an interesting point

Many friends also like to take landscape photos, especially those who are new to photography. Because the scenery doesn't move around like people or animals, and it doesn't need communication, it feels easier to learn, but the most beautiful scenery is photographed a lot, and there is also a chance to become boring. At this time, we might as well think about how to add an "interesting point" to the photo, so that the photo can have more changes and it is easier to have an observation center. But when choosing "interesting point", remember to choose something meaningful or related. This interesting point can be used as a foreground to set off the picture, which is very useful!

Add an eye-catching yellow street sign to the photo, which is richer than just shooting the blue sky and white clouds behind it!

(2) Join yourself

Shooting is lonely. As a photographer with a camera, most people or other landscapes are photographed. Next time you travel or see interesting pictures, consider joining yourself! In addition to building a good picture, it is also a good way to let others press the shutter for you, using tripod+selfie countdown. Pay attention to the focus on yourself, or nearby stones, railings and other things on the same plane (distance), so that you can stand in the expected position when shooting!

Even the beautiful aurora and yourself will make the photos more interesting!

(C) the use of scale comparison method

How do readers feel about the magnificent scenery? We can simply make good use of "size contrast", such as adding huts, bicycles and even people to the picture, so that we can compare what we will see in daily life with the scene environment, and then we can set off a magnificent scenery! In fact, this can also be used in conjunction with the previous "add points of interest" rule.

(4) Change another angle and focal length.

Of course, these traditions have their value and reasons, but sometimes if you want to shoot interesting effects or add more changes to your photo collection, you must break these "rules" and try to shoot in the same scene with lenses with different focal lengths. Of course, you should also clearly understand the characteristics of various focal lengths, for example, wide-angle lenses will deform and exaggerate the sense of space; TV focusing can compress foreground and background and increase shallow depth of field. But as long as you think hard, you can make good use of these characteristics to take good photos!

Wide-angle lens brings out exaggerated deformation effect.

On the other hand, different angles will have a great impact on the impression of photos, so don't forget to try shooting at high angles, low angles and different backgrounds. Many times, you will be surprised that photos suddenly become very interesting!

Finally, if there is an opportunity, try shooting with interesting fisheye glasses!

(5) Make good use of light and shade effects

Photography is taking "light and shadow". If the light in your photos is often unevenly distributed, it will easily become ordinary and dim. In order to enhance the impact of photos, you may wish to pay more attention to the light and shadow around you. If you can grasp the lighting effect, you can usually take more dramatic and interesting pictures!

Light and darkness can increase the dramatic effect of photos by adding water and bamboo.

(6) intentional overexposure or underexposure

Generally speaking, beginners should learn "correct exposure" to avoid overexposure or underexposure of photos, but after mastering the exposure skills, sometimes deliberately overexposure or darken photos will make photos feel stronger and bring out the desired effect! Overexposure is usually used to backlight photos, while underexposure can produce contours. Two photos can also be beautiful and distinctive. Remember to taste it!

Proper overexposure can take beautiful backlit photos.
