When we shoot trees, we always like to shoot them from low to high with wide angle, so that the trees can form a curve under the deformation of the lens and form a visual convergence point at the top of the lens.

When I was shooting in this way, in order to make the picture fuller, I added some ground environment to the foreground, so that the picture gradually spread from the front to the height; The foreground and the thick roots and grass in the soil make the whole forest look more vivid.

Because I look up and shoot, the light enters the lens directly, so it is easy to make the trees too dark and lose details when shooting; At this time, in order to shift the viewer's attention from the bright white sky to the trees, we must ensure that the colors and details of the trees are restored. When shooting, we only need to increase the exposure compensation from 1 to 1.3, and we can simply achieve the desired picture. If you shoot in the early hours of the morning, remember to adjust your white balance settings, and don't make the picture blue because of the fog in the Woods.

Trees are not uncommon in nature, and the beauty of trees is even more. So how should we photograph trees? The scenery of the forest changes with different seasons. Trees in the forest have different colors and densities in four seasons. When shooting a forest, the photographer must first find out what kind of environment he is shooting in and what kind of feeling he wants to get. Whether it looks dark or bright; Whether the color is gorgeous and elegant; Whether to show the whole or highlight local characteristics. Shooting the forest after the snow is always full of fantastic beauty and loneliness. Photographers should first pay attention to exposure when shooting forests after snow.

If the weather is cloudy after snow, take the right picture and the following picture as examples. In addition to the magical beauty, the picture gives people a sense of loneliness after being covered by heavy snow. At this time, there is not too much color modification, and the picture taken in the middle tone is like an elegant ink landscape painting. If it is sunny after snow, it will give people a very clear feeling. The accumulation of snow on the branches makes up for the vacancy of fallen leaves and makes the whole picture more colorful. At this time, in the case of smooth light, use the camera's evaluation metering mode to shoot. If the color of the snow on the branches cannot be well restored under normal exposure, the photographer can also appropriately increase the first-level exposure compensation to show the bright scenery in front of him. After the warm sunshine, when most of the snow on the branches melts, another scene is presented to people at this time.

Especially in late autumn and early winter, when most leaves are still on the trees, in order to enhance the contrast effect between forests of different colors and the ground covered with residual snow, photographers can stand at a high angle and record the picture at this time through a wide-angle lens. Shooting the forest before sunrise is influenced by the high color temperature of sunrise, and the picture is easy to get mysterious blue-purple tone. If photographers want to better represent the lines of trees, they can use certain exposure compensation methods to shape the feeling of dawn forest. If you shoot on a cloudy day, you won't get this effect. Like taking other photos, taking photos of forests also requires finding the right points of interest. It may be a strangely shaped trunk, a winding path and so on. No matter what composition method, it should be able to guide the audience into the painting.
