Matters needing attention in shooting scenery

When traveling, the most essential thing is to shoot the scenery. Whether it's a small bridge, a mountain or a river, whether it's a magnificent building or a quaint village, we all love to keep these in our own shots.

But don't the photos you often take look good? Do you know why? You may have made these mistakes. Next, let's look at the mistakes that make the scenery of you and Bian Xiao look bad!

1, contains too many details.

We are always greedy and want to capture as many scenery as possible in one photo, so that one photo can carry all the beautiful scenery we can see.

But if there is too much content, the theme is not prominent, and the picture looks messy. There are too many distracting elements, and we are not interested in a photo, especially in crowded scenic spots. People in the picture will inevitably become distracting elements.

Sometimes we just need to simplify the picture and capture the important scenery we want to capture in the picture, which is enough to take good-looking photos.

2. No horizontal line can be found.

When shooting a landscape with a wide field of vision, whether the field of vision is wide is an important factor to measure the success of a photo, unless you have a special perspective and unique ideas, try to keep the field of vision level.

In fact, this question is not very important. After all, you can easily adjust the horizontal line in the future. However, the later adjustment is more or less at the expense of the edge content of the picture, so it is best to plan it first when shooting.

Press the shutter without thinking.

This has almost become a common problem in travel photos. Go out to play and press the shutter, and when I get home, I find none of them look good. When we face the beautiful scenery, we really subconsciously press the shutter, but we seldom think about what we want to shoot.

Beautiful scenery is always there. Why don't we observe first, think about where to shoot, and then shoot. It's not just the scenery. You should think twice before taking any photos.

4. Most scenes are boring.

Imagine your dream rural scenery in front of you, distant green hills, beautiful rivers and houses built on rolling hills. So you press the shutter and try to record the beautiful scenery in front of you.

However, when you look back at the photos you took, you find that most of them look boring and boring.

In fact, a big reason is that the light is not used well. Sunlight is very important in landscape photography. Without directional sunlight, most photos will look dull and unable to highlight the outstanding sense of harmony and space.

Although we can't control the sunshine when facing the scene, when the weather is good, we also need to choose the appropriate shooting angle according to the light of the scene.

Interference always inevitably exists in the scenery we see, such as telephone poles and pedestrians walking constantly, which will make our picture look extremely messy. So before shooting, we should walk around and try different angles to minimize the interference in the picture.
