Talk about scene selection and composition in photography

Photography and composition

Balanced composition

Gives people a feeling of satisfaction. The picture structure is perfect, the arrangement is clever, the correspondence and balance. Commonly used in moonlit nights, water surfaces, night scenes, news and other themes.

Diagonal composition

Arranging the subject on the diagonal can effectively utilize the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time, it can also create a direct relationship between the companion and the subject. It is dynamic and lively, easily produces the tendency of lines to converge, attracts attention, and achieves the effect of highlighting the subject (for example, a spotlight illuminates the subject).

Nine-square grid composition

Also called tic-tac-toe composition

Place the subject or important scenery at the intersection of the "nine-square grid". The four intersections of the word "well" are the best positions of the subject. It is generally believed that the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it’s not set in stone. This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, highlighting the subject, and making the picture more balanced.

Landscape Photography Tips

I found it occasionally online and it is very practical.

Here, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the master who created this formula.

Great scenery depends on hard work, and check the weather before going to bed.

There is no good light at noon, but good light is in the morning and evening. Note: The best times of the day for photography are in the morning and evening.

The scenery is full of atmosphere, and the rain and fog will not let you go

Bring a camera when it rains, and wait until it clears up in the evening

Zooms are prone to glare, so try to use fixed focus lenses. Note: Fixed focus lenses have better image quality and are less prone to flare.

Remove the protective lens and install the hood

The tripod should be locked and the reflector should be pre-locked

When measuring landscapes, the gray should be reduced, and white plus black should be reduced. Note: Exposure compensation, white plus black minus (for bright areas in focus, add positive exposure compensation).

Meter frequently for long exposures and wrap a few shots up and down. Note: When the exposure time is long, meter more frequently and use exposure bracketing.

Negative films should be slightly oversized, positive films can be slightly reduced.

Wide angle emphasizes the subject, telephoto compresses the scene. Note: When shooting with a wide-angle lens, pay attention to the composition of the subject.

Small aperture depth of field, wide open to blur the background

Backlighting the flowers from the side, slow shutter speed to create a sense of movement Note: It is best to shoot flowers with backlighting from the side, use a slow shutter speed, the film will be more vivid Dynamic.

Long exposure is suitable for streams, which are continuous and dense. Note: When taking pictures of streams, you also need to use a slow shutter speed.

Look for side light when you see mountains, and take pictures of reflections when you see water

Focus on the subject, and keep the level level

Polarized light to remove reflections, gradients to smooth out contrast. Note: Positive bias The mirror can remove reflections, and the gradient mirror can reduce the contrast between light and dark in the image.

If the contrast is too large, the black card effect is better

Avoid car lights for long exposure, and the rocks should be moist

Prefer cloudy days, focusing on cloudless ground : When there are clouds, use more sky when composing the picture.

The foreground position is key, divided into three parts and nine squares

The characters add interest, and the finishing touches should be highlighted

Remove clutter while viewing the scenery, and pick up rubbish before shooting
