How to deal with the relationship between people and scenery in travel photography

When traveling, it is essential to take pictures wherever you go, but the relationship between people and scenery during the shooting process is not an easy problem to deal with. When taking travel portrait photos, you should pay attention to the use of foreground and background, mainly the use of background. The proportion of characters in the picture should not be too large. Because the focus is on the face at this time, and the depth of field is small, it is likely to be blurred and the meaning of the travel souvenir photo will be lost. The proportion of the characters should not be too small, otherwise the faces cannot be clearly seen. Generally speaking, the maximum should not exceed the bust, and the minimum should not be less than 1/3 of the vertical line of the screen. Also, don’t get too close to the branches to prevent clutter from entering the frame. When taking photos, I often feel excited, and my attention is focused on the position and angle of the person, and the relationship between the person and the background. Some small objects around are often ignored. Telegraph poles, fruit bins, and signs such as "Please don't spit" slip into the frame, greatly overshadowing the commemorative photos. When taking portraits while traveling, it is not necessary to clearly remember the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth in every photo. Take a few silhouette photos to record the postures and movements of people during tourism activities. You can also use the language of sports to express the interest of tourism. The character's clothing should contrast with the background and foreground. If you wear a white dress and use the blue sky as the background, the photo taken with black and white film will only show the head floating in the air and the body blending into the blue sky, which is not a good effect. At this point, the best solution is to add a yellow filter in front of the lens.
