1, complete performance window frame

Never look at the beautiful scenery outside the window, just open the window and put the camera outside the window to shoot. In this way, the role of "window" completely disappeared, replaced by ordinary landscape photos. When the complete window frame is included in the picture, the picture composition will naturally form, and the eyes of other viewers will gather outside the window. Scenery in window frames and windows will also provide a certain sense of space and layering for the picture. At the same time, under the condition that the window frame is intact, the picture at this time is very consistent with the feeling of "seeing the beauty outside the window at first sight", and the artistic beauty is more incisive.

2. Use the lines of the window to express formal beauty.

When shooting the scenery outside the window, try to ensure that it is horizontal and vertical, so that the beauty of lines can be fully expressed and the natural scenery and architectural aesthetics can be perfectly combined. In order to reduce picture distortion and avoid "curved" lines, it is recommended to use a medium telephoto lens and shoot horizontally as much as possible.

3. Take minimalist photos outside the window.

The window can be regarded as a "picture frame", and the scenery outside the window is a painting. Some minimalist paintings are very popular now, so taking photos outside the window is not necessarily a beautiful view. Even simple sky and grass can be photographed, and the scenery outside the window can be made as simple as possible through composition and post-production consciously. At the same time, in order to make the "simplicity" outside the window further attract the attention of the viewer, we can also compare it through the slightly messy scenes inside the window.

4. Accurately control exposure

Because there is often a big contrast between the scenery outside the window and the scenery inside the window, some scenes in the picture may be overexposed or dead black. First of all, it should be emphasized that if the contrast between light and dark inside and outside the window is too large and exceeds the tolerance limit of the camera, then overexposure or dead black will inevitably occur. At this time, spot metering should be used to measure the light outside the window to ensure the normal exposure of the scenery outside the window, even if the window is dark, it will not affect the performance of the subject. But in most cases, by carefully adjusting the exposure compensation and observing the histogram, details can be ensured in areas with different brightness in the picture. At the same time, in order to keep the details as much as possible, I suggest you take photos in RAW format, which can be further processed later.

5. Open the window to form a perspective traction line.

If you close the window, you can make the photos form a certain formal beauty. When opening a window, the window line will form a perspective traction line, which will make the depth of the picture more prominent and guide the viewer's line of sight to the main body. It is not recommended that you shoot with a medium telephoto lens at this time. It should be shot with a wide-angle lens. Because the wide-angle lens can make the perspective effect more obvious, thus strengthening the sense of depth and making the photos more visually impactful.

6. Use indoor scenery to enrich the picture content.

If the scenery outside the window is not bright enough, then you can also use the indoor scenery to express a comfortable living environment, so that viewers can feel a kind of comfort. But at this time, it is often necessary to use artificial light to brighten the room, so that the windows and rooms can be exposed normally.
