Shooting skills of common landscape photos

Lead: Digital cameras can bring us a lot of happiness. Students can appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers and the beauty of urban and rural scenery. How to improve your shooting skills and show these beautiful scenery? The following are the shooting techniques of common landscape photos that I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to them!

Indoor scenery

Shooting indoor scenery from the outside usually needs to be done through the window, and outdoor light is generally stronger than indoor light. At this time, two problems need to be solved, one is the exposure time, and the other is to avoid window reflection. If the digital camera has manual control function, you can set the long exposure. If the digital camera is a fool, you can improve the ISO sensitivity setting and shoot with ISO 200 or ISO 400.

It's best to shoot indoor scenery with triangular brackets. If not, find a place to support it, such as a wall or against a door. The reason for this is that long-term exposure is easy to cause camera shake, which will lead to blurred images. It is best to use cable release or selfie to avoid moving the camera. Note: Do not turn on the flash unless absolutely necessary to avoid excessive reflection.

In order to avoid the reflection of the glass window, you can shoot with a polarizer.

How to shoot outdoor scenery

When shooting scenery, you can arrange some people or things in the foreground of the picture, which is helpful to express the sense of spatial perspective in the picture. Find a high place to shoot, such as balcony, roof, hillside, etc. Usually afternoon is the best time to shoot scenery. When shooting, use a polarizer to adjust the brightness of the sky, darken the sky and highlight the white clouds in the blue sky to enhance the sense of spatial depth of the picture.

Many digital cameras without manual exposure control have scene shooting mode, and landscape mode is definitely one of them, and players can use landscape mode to shoot.

Digital cameras with manual exposure control can choose aperture priority mode to shoot, and the aperture is best to choose F8 or F 1 1 to make the picture more layered.

How to photograph buildings

The city is changing with each passing day, especially the graceful buildings, which are also the favorite subjects of many digital photographers at present.

But generally speaking, the lens of digital camera has barrel distortion, so in order to minimize the upward convergence deformation of the image, it is best to choose a higher viewpoint to shoot. For example, on the stairs, or other places where you can improve your vision. If you can't find a suitable foothold, you can reduce the distortion by taking a step back and staying away from the subject. Use the largest wide-angle lens you have. A bright sky can make up for the gloom of the building. Use polarizers to reduce or eliminate the reflection of glass on buildings. Of course, mastering backhand can also create a unique artistic effect.

In addition, pay attention to the choice of distinctive details, which are generally its doors, columns or windows for buildings.

How to shoot water

When shooting sprayed or splashed water, you can use side light or backlight to make the water translucent. Many beginners envy such photos of flying flowers splashing water. In fact, they can easily take them, which can make the rushing water look softer and have a romantic fuzzy effect. When the shutter is controlled around110 to 1/6s, splash photos with flowing aesthetic feeling can be obtained.

Of course, there are still many shooting skills of splash and splash, which will be discussed in more detail in the future.

How to shoot a sunset

The best time to shoot the sunset is when the sun just touches the horizon, and the sunset is 10-30 minutes after sunset. Usually, automatic photometry can measure exposure well. When shooting, try to add people or other scenery in the foreground of the picture to increase interest or characteristics. Either you can have a reflection by the sea, or you can make the horizon lower than the camera. At this time, the zoom lens is very useful. When using the slow shutter, you need to use a tripod or other support to stabilize the camera.

How to shoot at dusk and night view?

The best time to shoot the dusk scene is 15-30 minutes after sunset, when there are still some colors in the sky. In order to increase the depth of field of the picture, you can shoot from one end of the bridge or find some characteristic scenes facing yourself. At this time, a tripod is also necessary, and automatic exposure is usually enough, but we should try to take some photos of manual exposure and cable release control, and compare them with shutter speeds of 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 seconds respectively.

Of course, in some cases, ISO200 can be used for shooting, but we should pay attention to whether the noise control of digital cameras is acceptable. If the noise is too loud, you should still shoot with ISO 100 supplemented by a tripod.

In fact, sometimes night shooting doesn't necessarily need to shoot buildings and roads step by step. If you change your thinking and shooting technique a little, you can get a unique effect.

How to shoot in bad weather?

First of all, please remember: bad weather doesn't mean bad photos.

Cloudy skies reduce the contrast and are more suitable for shooting trees and plants. The tone of the shot may look a little cold, with a little cyan. Remember to adjust the proper white balance. If the color of the sky is annoying, you can use trees as a cover, or you can not shoot at all by raising the horizon of the picture. When the clouds are low or rainy and the color saturation is lower than that in sunny days, we might as well use the black-and-white shooting mode of digital camera. Few students use digital cameras to take black and white photos. In fact, you can get very deep and infectious photos by shooting in black and white mode on cloudy days. Of course, if the lighting conditions are poor, the ISO sensitivity of the digital camera can be improved appropriately, so that sufficient exposure can be obtained.

In addition, storms or snowstorms can add drama and strength to photos; Dark clouds will cause some interesting parts of the pattern to stand out from the clouds, especially the storm on the open ground; Smoke can make lakes, rivers and valleys look hazy, light and mysterious. Rain and snow can make people's clothes look colorful. When shooting snow scenes, a little overexposure (slow shutter speed or "+1") can make white look different from gray.

When shooting, be sure to protect the camera with an umbrella, coat or plastic belt.
