Ten essential skills of landscape photography How to shoot the landscape?

1. When shooting landscapes, it is also important to choose the appropriate shooting time in addition to the appropriate parameter settings. Because the light is constantly changing during the day, the same scenery will be taken at different times, and the effect will be different. It is necessary to seize a specific time of the day to shoot beautiful scenery. If it's a place where you can't come again, there's nothing you can do. However, if the schedule is relatively loose, you can shoot not only during the day, but also in the early morning or evening when the light is oblique. Many impressive landscape photos were taken during this period.

2. Shooting itself does not need too complicated technology, but it is very important to choose a suitable shooting mode, especially when you want to shoot distant scenes very sharply, you should choose an aperture that can give full play to the resolution of the lens and the imaging ability of the camera. Although the performance of different lenses is different, generally speaking, when you want to take a sharp perspective, setting the aperture of the lens between F5.6-8 can give full play to the resolution of the lens.

3. The commonly used shooting mode is Av (Aperture Priority Auto Exposure) mode. Because the photographer can choose the aperture manually, it gives the photographer more choices than those shooting modes where the aperture is set automatically by the camera, so it is very popular with users.

4. Whether the sharp performance can be obtained is also greatly affected by the focusing conditions. It is recommended to use a tripod and choose manual focusing for real-time display shooting.

5. When taking a landscape photo, it should be remembered that you should not hold it up blankly, but find the theme of the picture in the landscape. In the above picture, the distant mountains become the theme of the picture. In order to control the composition, you can use a variety of lenses from wide angle to telephoto, or you can try to express the scene in a vertical way.

6. Pay attention to the fact that the picture can't be tilted when taking landscape photos. When shooting, the grid lines are displayed in real time, which can be used as a reference for detecting whether the picture is horizontal or not. In addition, some models are equipped with electronic level meters, so it is recommended to use them flexibly. You can also use a level that can be hung on the camera's hot shoes, or a level with a tripod.

7. As mentioned above, using a tripod can make the composition more stable. Also, when using Av (Aperture Priority Auto Exposure) mode to narrow the aperture for shooting, if the light is weak, the shutter speed may decrease, so be sure to prepare a tripod.

8. When shooting a distant view such as a landscape, the focus position is at infinity. If you want to focus with high precision, you can use the real-time display function to enlarge the LCD monitor screen and focus manually according to the enlarged detail definition, so that you can focus with higher precision. The method of aiming the focusing ring at infinity is easy to produce focusing error and is not recommended.

9. Especially when shooting with a telephoto lens, even the action of the camera endoscope will become the cause of the picture jitter. To suppress the action of the mirror, it is suggested to use real-time display to shoot. Because the real-time display shows that the reflector has risen in the shooting state, there is no bouncing vibration. In addition, the mute mode that makes the mirror quiet and the mirror pre-lift function that can lift the mirror before shooting are also very effective. It can also be released with a cable, and pressing the shutter button will not cause vibration.

10, use PL-C circular polarization filter to get clearer picture quality. When taking landscape photos, circularly polarized filters are often used. It is a kind of filter that uses polarizing lens to bend light, which can make the sky bluer or the foreground clearer. In addition to the above effects, it can also inhibit the reflection of the water surface, so it is also very effective to shoot the lake. In addition to inhibiting the disorderly reflection of light to improve the contrast of the picture, it can also filter out harmful reflected light and restore the tone of the subject well. When using wide-angle lens and circular polarization filter, in order not to produce dark angle, we should try to choose thin frame polarization filter. When choosing a polarizing filter in the market, be sure to choose the one with the same caliber as the lens in your hand. When shooting natural scenery with many trees, sometimes the disorderly reflection of leaves on light will make the picture appear blurred. At this time, it will be very effective to use circularly polarized filters.
