Photographic composition skills of SLR

Introduction: Composition is very important in photography. Let's take a look at the composition skills of SLR photography.

horizontal composition

because of the existence of the horizon, horizontal composition can be said to be the most commonly used composition method in landscape photography. The rhythmic horizontal sorting method gives the photos a stable, stable and atmospheric temperament. Of course, there are also such horizontal lines in nature, and the appropriate horizontal line can be captured by using the photographic eye. (The original picture was taken by mobile phone)

Vertical line composition

Vertical line composition gives people a sense of order, stability and sureness. Suitable for towering scenery. Such as: buildings, trees, mountains and cliffs, waterfalls, etc. (original shooting parameters: F/16, 1/2 second, ISO2, focal length 35mm)

Diagonal composition

Directional composition, artificial arrangement is obvious. Can easily guide the viewer's line of sight to the two corners of the photo, and return again. Increase the time for viewers to stay in photos. At the same time, diagonal composition gives photos a sense of movement, liveliness and spatial extension. Often used to shoot portraits, water, roads, buildings, etc. (original shooting parameters: F/4, 1/4th second, ISO5, focal length: 35mm)

S-shaped composition (curve composition)

Natural objects have a variety of shapes, such as the scenery on the screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and produce a feeling of beauty, elegance and coordination. Often used to shoot scenery, roads, rivers, paths, etc. (original shooting parameters: F/5.6, 1/8 second, ISO2, focal length 8mm)

C-shaped composition

C-shaped composition has the characteristics of curvy beauty and can produce varied visual focus, and the picture is simple and clear. However, when arranging the main object, it must be arranged at the C-shaped gap, so that people's vision can move to the main object with the arc. C-shaped composition can be adjusted in any direction. Generally speaking, it is mostly used in industrial and architectural themes. (original shooting parameters: F/16, 1/2 second, ISO2, focal length 2mm)

Frame composition uses the frame of the scene as the foreground, which can increase the vertical contrast and decorative effect of the picture and give the photo a sense of depth. (original shooting parameters: F/13, 1/25 second, ISO125, focal length 22mm)

TIC-tac-toe composition (Jiugongge composition)

Tick-tac-toe composition is also called Jiugongge composition. Put the subject or the scenery that needs to be highlighted in? Well? On the four intersections of words. According to people's viewing habits, the top left corner is the best, followed by the top right corner, the third left corner and the last right corner. Usually, digital SLR cameras have a nine-grid reference line setting, which can set the display, making it easier to accurately point when shooting. (original shooting parameters: F/1.8, 1/125th second, ISO32, focal length 5mm)

vanishing line composition (vanishing point composition or converging line composition)

The visual feeling is far and near small, especially in wide-angle lens. Visible or invisible lines disappear in one point. If the subject is arranged in the center of the vanishing line, it can not only highlight the subject, but also firmly grasp the line of sight of the light viewer and increase the time for the line of sight to stay in the photo. (original shooting parameters: F/16, 1/2 second, ISO2, focal length 26mm)

Symmetric composition method

is usually used in landscapes, buildings, reflections and other scenes to form a symmetrical artistic picture. (original shooting parameters: F/14, 1/2 second, ISO2, focal length 31mm)

Closed composition

Closed composition comes from painting, and a successful painting should be complete and balanced, and its content is limited to the picture. (original shooting parameters: F/1.8, 1/125 second, ISO32, focal length 5mm)

Open composition

Open composition does not pay attention to the rigor and balance of the picture, and the image of the picture is incomplete, so as to emphasize the existence of the space outside the picture and its organic connection with the space outside the picture, and enhance the visual impact. The impression is not intentionally piled up, which increases the realism of the photo. (original shooting parameters: F/1.8, 1/125 second, ISO32, focal length 5mm)
