What are the methods of landscape photography?

1.? Foreground+subject+background? Composition method. Generally, a good landscape photo usually has three elements: foreground, subject and background. The foreground can be a stream or lake or the outline of the ground. The theme is architecture, mountains or visual focus. The background is blue sky and white clouds, or the sky in the morning and evening.

2.? Vertical and horizontal composition? Law. Most landscape photos should be represented by banner composition, because it can show a wide and boundless effect. However, when the front and back scenes are properly arranged, or there are super-high buildings, the composition with straight frames can not only show a long history, but also enhance the three-dimensional sense.

3. Make full use of the layering of light. Besides composition, the creation of light is also very important. For example, a little side light along the light can present the best far and near level, which is the decisive factor of beautiful scenery. The host will choose the most suitable time and weather when taking pictures, and even visit again and again, just for the best weather. In terms of tourism photographers, we should also collect detailed information and plan to shoot in the morning or afternoon in advance in order to get smooth or photometric shooting.

4.? Three-point horizon? Law. According to the special characteristics of the sky or foreground, the position of the horizon should be determined as 1/3 or 1/3 on the screen. For example, when encountering the scenery reflected by the water surface, most people may take the approach of putting the horizon in the middle of the picture. Actually, it depends on the scene If the foreground is prominent, such as dark rock layer or foreground silhouette, let the foreground occupy 2/3 and raise the horizon. If there are a lot of clouds in the sky, lower the horizon below 1/3.

5. Built-in flash. Don't think that flash is used to fill the light for portrait photography. In fact, when scenery photography is backlit, you can also use a flash to fill the light. For example, when shooting a scene full of cherry blossom fishing, you can use the built-in flash to fill the light, so that the cherry blossom stamens are clearly visible.
