Choose wide-angle scenery to enhance quality advantage.

Lead: Understanding the characteristics of wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens can show a sense of space and emphasize a sense of distance when used in landscape photography, which is a special effect that ordinary standard lenses and telephoto lenses are difficult to show. Therefore, wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens are indispensable lenses for landscape photography. This time, I will show you the advantages of wide-angle lens in landscape photography.

When shooting with a super wide-angle lens, try to hold the camera as much as possible to obtain a certain natural charm and avoid the dull picture. Only by mastering the characteristics of wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens and using them flexibly can we freely express the width, size, distance and depth of the picture.

Advantage 1: Emphasize the sense of distance.

Using this feature flexibly in landscape photography can express the sense of distance and three-dimensional sense of the picture. That is to say, wide-angle lens and super-wide-angle lens can show a narrow space as a relatively wide scene, and show a strong sense of distance for scenes with weak sense of distance. The key scenes in the picture make people feel far away.

In addition, wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens can also emphasize the foreground to a great extent, so that the foreground and background are separated and the foreground becomes the focus of the picture.

Advantage 2: Get a large depth of field.

When using a super wide-angle lens, all the scenes from 50 cm to infinity in front of the lens are within the focus range, and all the scenes can be taken clearly. This feature is called hyperfocal distance, and the aperture is about F 16 or F22.

On the contrary, when the maximum aperture is used, the focus range becomes smaller, the foreground becomes larger, the background is blurred into a soft tone effect, and the subject is emphasized, so that the viewer can feel the appeal brought by the shooting environment more strongly.

Advantage 3: Unique sense of space.

This feature is very obvious in the ultra-wide-angle lens. 17mm and 20mm ultra-wide-angle lenses have the most obvious sense of space, while 14mm and 15mm ultra-wide-angle lenses have more unique sense of space. Using this characteristic of super wide-angle lens, we can get a space effect that is invisible to the naked eye.

Whether this characteristic of super wide-angle lens is obvious or not is directly related to the length of focal length. The longer the focal length, the weaker this characteristic is. The focal length of 35mm slightly retains the flavor of wide-angle lens, while the focal length of 50mm becomes a general description effect.

Advantage 4: The contrast ratio is higher than that of telephoto lens.

When shooting hyperfocal distance with wide-angle lens or ultra-wide-angle lens, not only the image is sharp, but also the contrast is high. In addition, if polarizers are used together, this feature is particularly prominent and has a very strong three-dimensional effect.

Therefore, it is best to use a polarizer when using a super wide-angle lens to express the stereoscopic effect of the subject. Polarizer can reduce the density of space to a certain extent, improve the contrast of the picture appropriately, and make the picture more stereoscopic and spatial.

Advantage five, the prospect opens up a sense of space.

When shooting with a super wide-angle lens, the most important thing is to realize the importance of the foreground in the picture. The picture taken with super wide-angle lens is wide and has a large field of vision. But this does not mean that everything is shot into the picture without a purpose. We must realize the importance of foreground in the picture. If the photographer doesn't realize this, he will only take a distant view with no prospect, and it will become an ordinary photo with no connotation and no value.

Therefore, when shooting a composition with a super wide-angle lens, it is absolutely necessary to process the position of the foreground in the picture in order to show the spatial effect.
