How to improve the level of landscape photography works

First of all, thank you very much for answering this question here. Let me take you into this question. Now let's discuss it together.

Grasping the opportunity is an important factor in landscape photography, and to make the picture better, we can use the foreground to increase the sense of space of the picture, or find the rhythm of the picture from the composition, and even the reflection in the water can become the creative elements of landscape photography. Here are some tips that I recommend carefully for you to shoot good scenery, hoping to help you.

10 Skills of shooting good scenery

First, capture the most beautiful light at dawn and dusk.

It should be noted that shooting in such a time period is prone to overexposure, so remember to carefully select the metering point and accurately measure the light. In addition, trying to use fluorescent white balance, or shooting in RAW format, can often bring you some surprises.

Second, use clouds to enhance the picture effect.

Cloud is a good helper to enhance the effect of landscape photos. White clouds will make the scenery look fresh and bright; The brilliance of Xia Guang will make the picture brilliant and moving; Deep clouds make people full of mysterious reverie about the story behind the scenery. Choosing charming weather and time to capture the most beautiful cloud form in the ever-changing can often play a role in balancing the picture and enhancing the momentum.

Third, repeat the rhythm and rhyme of the lines.

Landscape photography pays attention to formal beauty, so it pays special attention to the design and application of lines. Repetitive lines are an attractive theme in landscape photography, which can bring rhythm and beauty to the picture.

Fourth, use reflection to expand expressive force.

Reflection can bring interesting visual pleasure to the picture. Dramatic reflections were brought into the picture when shooting by a quiet lake. In a static state, the extension and repetition of the picture can effectively expand the scope and expressive force. Enabling the reference line function can better grasp the level of the symmetrical line.

Fifth, use the prospect to enhance the sense of space.

Foreground is an important element that cannot be ignored in landscape photography. When shooting, don't completely concentrate on the subject you want to express. You should carefully observe the surrounding environment, look for suitable prospects, increase the sense of space and depth of photos, and make the picture more infectious.

6. Panoramic photos show magnificent scenery.

Many times, the scenery in front of us is so charming that it can't be fully integrated into the picture even with a wide-angle lens. At this time, panoramic photos are an effective means to show magnificent scenery.

There are three points to ensure when taking panoramic photos: the shooting position is fixed; The focal length of the lens is fixed; The combination of aperture and shutter is fixed. At the same time, we should pay attention to keeping the camera level, so as to take a group of photos with the same viewpoint and exposure. Splicing them together can produce spectacular panoramic works.

Seven, the visual experience of slow shutter novels

Whether shooting streams, waterfalls or traffic at night, using a slow shutter below 1/4 seconds can often bring people a novel visual experience. Enabling long exposure can reduce noise and get better picture quality.

Eight, the big scene scenery pays attention to blank space

When representing the vast scenery of a big scene, we should pay attention to leaving enough "blank" for the picture to avoid being too full. This kind of space is often called "blank", and it is always refreshing to see such works.

Nine, pay attention to the guiding role of lines

The unique outline and shape of the lines can easily attract the attention of the audience. In landscape photography, it is very important to find and discover lines, which can guide the audience's line of sight, make the subject more prominent and the form more beautiful.

X. choose the right shooting angle.

Choosing the right shooting angle according to the theme and performance effect is the key to shooting a good work. This work was shot from the perspective of overlooking, showing all the pictures from close range to distant view with a small aperture, showing the layering and depth of the picture.

(A) in a limited space to accommodate more scenery

Wide-angle lens can shoot many things, but sometimes in some extreme environments, such as shooting tall buildings at close range, or shooting in small places on the mountain, the venue does not allow you to retreat and shoot more scenery, so a super wide-angle lens will help! By the way, if the super wide angle can't capture all the pictures, can the ultimate "weapon" capture 180? Fisheye glasses!

(b) Using exaggerated deformation to increase tension

One of the reasons for using super wide-angle lens is its exaggerated lens deformation effect! Using super wide-angle lens, you can shoot the exaggerated effect of "far small and near large", which is also very helpful for composition (middle composition, guide line composition, etc.). ) and highlight the scenery. This extremely tense effect is beyond the reach of other lenses!

(C) significantly increase the sense of space

The sense of space can make the reader immersive, and the use of super wide-angle lens can greatly increase the sense of space, which is especially suitable for shooting grassland, flowers, fields, Shan Ye and other vast environments, which can't be copied by other lenses!

(d) Making hand-held photography easier.

A very useful convenience of super wide-angle lens is its strong hand shock resistance, that is to say, because it is wide-angle, even if the camera shakes slightly due to hand shock, the photo will not become blurred and the influence can be reduced. Compared with when you use a telephoto lens, a little vibration can blur the photo! Moreover, some super wide-angle lenses have built-in hand shock prevention function, which is more helpful for hand-held shooting!

(5) A large aperture can also capture a deep depth of field.

If you have paid attention to the previous teaching article "How to shoot a shallow depth of field", you will know that "focal length" is one of the most influential factors in shooting a shallow depth of field-the longer the focal length, the easier it is to shoot a shallow depth of field. Because the focal length is very short (10mm, 16mm, etc. ), it will be a little difficult to shoot shallow depth of field (but), so what's the use of this function? Think about it. In a dark environment (such as churches and museums), you can't use flashlights and tripods, you can only shoot by hand, trying to get a clear picture of all the scenery. At this time, you can shoot with a super wide-angle lens with maximum aperture and moderate ISO. Because ultra-wide-angle focal length is not easy to shoot shallow depth of field, even if the maximum aperture (such as f/2.8, f/4) and medium ISO,

This question is very important to photographers. Appreciating the experience can be used for reference in future landscape photography and make good works. Personally, landscape photography should be "careful and not careless" and should pay attention to the following points:

1, prepare lessons carefully before shooting, so that you know what you are doing. For the majority of photographers, taking photos of the scenery group is an opportunity to go out to play several times a year. When traveling, the choice of scenic spots should try to arrange places that most people have never been to. This brings a challenge to photographers: the new scenery is an eye-opener, but my mind is blank! Coupled with the tight schedule, "time is hasty" and "countless hearts" overlap, it is difficult to be "careful" and "not sloppy" when shooting landscape films. What to do is to predict and prepare lessons for the scenic spots to be visited, plan what to shoot, check cameras and lenses, and make backup arrangements for shooting equipment through the internet and knowledgeable people before departure. In particular, take a closer look at how others take these scenic photos.

2. Use both hands and brains when shooting, and your mouth is diligent and your legs are fast. Although you have carefully prepared your lessons in advance, the scenery of the brand-new scenic spots will still make you dumbfounded. Therefore, please invite more tour guides and insiders to listen in all directions; We should also look at six aspects. When we see the subject to be photographed, we can choose the appropriate shooting angle and position. It is also necessary to "turn around the subject" and shoot from multiple angles, scenes and sides. Studying more, asking questions frequently, and being quick with your legs and hands are the basic guarantees of being "careful" and "not careless"

3. Check immediately after shooting, and remedy the problems in time. Although we have done everything we can before we set out and during the filming, we still need to look back at the shooting effect of the scenery film in time, especially to check whether there are any missing places, and then take remedial measures immediately, otherwise "there will be no next store after this village"!

I think, when shooting scenery films, the above points can basically ensure that you are "careful and not careless", and it is not difficult to do this.
