Analysis of 10 Common Wrong Composition

Lead: From a certain point of view, photography is a process of taking pictures of reality, so how can we shoot good works with poor composition? Here is a list of 10 major composition mistakes for everyone to see what you have made. If you dare to tell me that you didn't commit 1, then I can only say: you are a genius! Let's test how many you made!

1, the screen body is too small.

When looking at the scenery, our brain can focus on a point well and eliminate the interference of the surrounding scenery in some way. But different photos will make the surrounding scenery clear, and the subject will appear small and irrelevant. So before you press the shutter, you need to think about whether it will be more expressive if you take a few steps forward or enlarge the camera.

Step 2 shoot when you see it

Many novices will be so absorbed in discovering things that they forget to think about how to shoot well. When you see something, just take a picture, and you will record its appearance, but you will not capture the atmosphere of the whole environment.

When you see a flower in the garden, don't just take pictures of it, but look at its environment and see if you can find an angle to show the whole flower sea.

3. The subject is in the middle of the picture.

Although sometimes it may be ok to put the subject in the middle, in most cases, we'd better follow the principle of trisection and put the subject on the side of the picture. Many cameras can set the reference line of the trisection, and then you can put the subject at the intersection of the two reference lines.

There is nothing in the future.

Whether shooting scenery or still life, the foreground needs attractive scenery that can reflect the level of the picture. A foreground with nothing is like an obstacle to the eyes, which just want to pass through, wasting screen space.

Whether it is wild flowers, rocks or waves, there are some scenes in the foreground of most landscape photography to create visual interest points for the picture. You need to put something in the foreground when shooting still life composition ~

5. Adjust the aspect ratio later.

This is often related to? There is nothing in the future. Parallel, because now people like to improve the picture composition by cutting off the blank space in the later stage. This cropping method is good, but if the aspect ratio of the picture is considered in the early shooting, it is easier to take a good photo. Cameras generally have an aspect ratio setting, and you can see different proportions of pictures through the viewfinder and display screen.

6, chaotic background

In a hurry, it is easy for us to take pictures with messy backgrounds. Sometimes, we can avoid this mistake by changing the shooting angle, changing the lens, or using a larger aperture. The key is that you should finish these operations before pressing the shutter.

Develop a good habit of looking around for the best background and shooting location before shooting and composing music. If you're waiting for something, look for the background first, and then shoot it when it happens.

7. Inappropriate depth of field

Depth of field is a very powerful tool for composition, because it can determine which elements in the picture are clearly visible. It is usually no problem to get a larger depth of field by shooting with a small aperture, but when you want the subject to stand out from the surroundings, you'd better use a large aperture to control the depth of field.

8. Pixels are irrelevant.

Many pictures, preferably all the elements, can be connected in a unified way. A landscape photo, in which there is a guide line of footprints, extends from the foreground to the spectacular main body, connecting the two elements of the picture, which can guide people's eyes to watch this work. The guide line has this function, which allows us to better understand the atmosphere of the scene and the proportion between different elements.

9. This picture is oblique.

An oblique perspective, whether in landscape photography or in the background of portrait photography, is very bad. So try to ensure the level of the picture. Many cameras have electronic level meters, which can appear on the viewfinder or display screen to ensure that the photos you take are horizontal.

10, regardless of color elements.

The color elements and arrangement in the picture play a great role in the success of the photo, so it must be taken into account when composing the picture.

The color of the object is the complementary color of the environment, which is more conspicuous in the picture. For example, the complementary color of red is green, and a red puppy in a green field is definitely the most attractive thing in the picture.

Then, it is not necessarily a good thing that two complementary colors are in the same picture. For example, a piece of red garbage in the green field will be as conspicuous as that red puppy. We don't want people to see this small piece of garbage, but because of the color, it's hard for people not to look at it. The solution is also very simple, take it away, or change the perspective and not frame it in the picture.
