Basic skills of photography

As we all know, "ma bu" or horse stance just look is a basic skill. In fact, composition is also the basic skill of photography.

What is the basic core of composition? The composition gentleman once again raised the sword of thinking, digging deep for everyone and tracing back to the source. They are points, lines and faces. A good photo must be a perfect combination of a certain point, a certain line or a certain surface.

Post-90 s friends who like to take selfies now, old friends who have money and leisure, and so on. We often travel to take pictures. In fact, there is no shortage of themes, just the lack of elements to calm down and decompose the themes. In fact, as long as you choose a good combination of elements, you can shoot a blockbuster.

1, point

Point is the basis of all pictures. In photography, it can be a real point or a surface in the picture. As long as it is a small object in the picture, it can be called a point. The position of the point in the photo directly affects the visual effect of the picture and brings different psychological feelings. The picture below is an arc composed of different points.

When composing a composition, you can use one point to highlight the main body, two points to form a contrast in the picture, or three or more points to form a picture, such as the hydrogen balloon in the picture below, to form a very beautiful visual effect.

2. Lines

A line can be a real solid line in a picture, a "dotted line" with connected lines of sight, or a line generated by gathering enough points in a certain direction. The expressions of lines are also various, such as straight lines, round lines and so on, as shown in the following figure.

The lines in the composition actually include oblique lines or curves, which are composed of different lines to form a strong visual effect.

Step 3 face

A surface is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional effect formed by certain connections or combinations on the basis of points or lines. Just like the spider web in the picture below, it is composed of a circle of lines, and a circle of lines is composed of different nodes.

The following picture shows a special picture effect, which forms a unique perspective window through the lines of the door frame to present the contents inside, and it is also a tunnel composition in the composition mode.

Points, lines and surfaces can be said to be important elements. We can use them individually or in combination. As long as you form a beautiful and unique vision, you can hold up your mobile phone and record wonderful moments!

At the moment when the picture was frozen, what we recorded was actually our youth and story.

"Composition is everywhere, always pay attention." As long as you have a pair of eyes to discover beauty, there are compositions everywhere under the lens, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere in life.
