Use a variety of different angles and distances to pattern.

Lead: Try to use different shooting distances, and carefully observe the places close to the subject that you usually don't pay attention to; Switch between different shooting positions, move your steps and feel the surrounding atmosphere; Or look at the world from another angle and try the possibility of various perspectives. Let's have a look!

Overlooking the mountains, the majestic momentum can only be created from a distance.

Photographic distance

It depends on how you choose and use the lens characteristics to take good photos from far or near. Documentary photographer Rob? In his short life, robert capa left such a classic saying: "If you don't shoot well enough, it's because you are not close enough. Of course, not everyone needs to risk their lives on the battlefield like Kappa in order to take a good photo, but this sentence really hits the nail on the head and points out the composition secret of photography: if you can't be far away, get as close as possible, and you will certainly take a good photo. Of course, taking turns using long-distance photography can also take quite wonderful photos, but in contrast, because the distance is not difficult and there is a wide-angle lens to help, if you want to improve your composition skills, you should try to be as close as possible!

Being closer to your cat can not only change the image effect, but also make it show its noble temperament that is easily overlooked.

This is because being close can give people a feeling of intimacy, or with the resolution of the camera, people can find things that they don't usually notice. The more common the theme, the closer it is, the more differences can be found. Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone has to buy a Budweiser to take a good photo, nor does it mean that they should not take the whole picture in the future, but only take a part; Use the standard lens to approach your subject and see if there is anything he/she/it doesn't usually notice. This is the true meaning of composition progress.

Photography position

Where can I stand and what scenery can I see? This is the golden advice of landscape photography, which is also applicable to all kinds of photography fields. ? Position, position, position. ? This may be the golden advice of the real estate industry, but it also applies to photography. Even with the same perspective and direction, the distance between us and the subject may have a subtle influence on the image, making a good photo closer to your ideal image. For users of zoom lenses, because it is too simple to change the focal length, they often ignore the part of moving their feet to change the actual physical distance; However, don't forget that changing the focal length will not change the spatial relationship between different composition elements in the image, but changing the distance will.

Of course, this also means that when changing the position, the aperture size, depth of field range and focal length should be considered at the same time. If you are not sure whether the shooting result is what you want, you can try to shoot a few pictures at different distances, on the one hand, to avoid missing the wonderful pictures, on the other hand, you can also exercise your photographic vision.

Changing the position is particularly important for taking long-distance landscape photos that emphasize space. In addition to the different sense of space, the matching ratio between different scenes will also affect the psychological feeling of photos, which is subtle when changing the focal length alone. Of course, in the performance of other photographic themes, the influence of photographic position on composition is also very important.

Open your photo gallery and have a closer look. Are your ways of dealing with similar subjects too similar? If so, I suggest that you not only remind yourself to move more when taking pictures, but also buy a fixed-focus lens to train yourself to overcome inertia. You will find that there are many image possibilities that you have not explored!

It only changes the physical position between the camera and the model when shooting, which not only changes the psychological feeling of the magnified character, but also makes the sense of space different.

Camera lens angle of view

Many times, as long as you look at the world from another angle, everything will be different. American photographer Gary? Garry Wino Grand (1928-1984) said that he likes taking pictures because he likes to see the world from different angles. As long as there is a camera in hand, even if he lies on the ground and studies a little thing from different angles for hours, no one will treat him as a madman.

Just changing the shooting angle slightly, higher or lower, can cause subtle visual differences.

This illustrates another very important point of his view: it doesn't matter what you shoot, what matters is what you shoot. Higher angle, lower angle, closer angle, farther angle, more oblique angle, corrected angle? It doesn't really matter. The key is that you have the possibility to explore what you may have filmed before and what you don't want to shoot.

Look up

Looking up, looking up can not only find many good subjects, but also show high subjects better. "Climb high, drill strong", used in facade shooting, can best describe the image feeling brought by this shooting method. Many people like to look up when taking pictures, because that's where the sun is, whether it's front light, back light or side light. Looking up, you can often find beautiful things such as flowers that have just opened, sunshine that has been blocked by leaves and so on. When you go to shoot trees in the wild, you must shoot one like this; Living in the city, there are countless tall buildings waiting for you to practice the charm of elevation. In any case, as long as you can find an angle or corner that others seldom notice, you should be able to shoot interesting images.

Because it is easy to backlight when looking up (especially outdoors), please pay more attention to controlling the light, and don't make your head look like a silhouette, obsidian lamp or ghost, which will ruin the atmosphere.

Looking up is best used to express the grandeur and vicissitudes of a building or an old tree.

Looking down from a tall building, you can take a picture that is not very nice.

Watch your feet, maybe a beautiful image is happening. When taking pictures, most people will look around with their cameras, desperately looking for something fresh and interesting to shoot, but in fact, as long as they look at the world from a different perspective, they can also find small scenes worth shooting at their feet.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there are only good things on the ground, and some shooting themes look old-fashioned in overlooking, but because of the good effect, everyone still loves to use them. For example, everyone likes to take pictures of dogs, kittens or children looking up stupidly, and at the same time, they can capture the light of their eyes, which simply takes care of both. However, photography needs new changes. Even with the old method, many interesting shooting points can be found by changing the relative position and habitual angle with the subject when taking pictures. For example, it is a good way to climb a tall building and look down, and we can see the scenery that we don't usually notice.

On the whole, apart from food photography, there is a feeling that the subject will become smaller, helpless or excavated when looking down. Think more about whether this is what you want to express before using it.
