Landscape photography is to combine weather, geography, people and harmony.

Landscape photography is to combine weather, geographical location, people and several conditions to shoot an ideal scenery blockbuster, and we need to wait for the light, so as to shoot the most beautiful scenery at the most beautiful moment. Let's learn about landscape photography together.

1. time

Want to know the knowledge of landscape photography, first of all, right? Scenery? With a better understanding, the shooting scenery we see is the relationship between man and nature. What kind of realm should we shoot? Beautiful? The effect really needs a balance between technology and consciousness, and the final picture should also pay attention to the balance between light and color, content and form. So our landscape photography class is classified according to weather, place, people and equipment. Simply put, photography is to use up all the light? Painting? This process, especially for scenery shooting, we have to wait for the light. Different natural scenes will give birth to different light changes, so let's start with it. Time? See how to target different natural environments. Painting?

① wind. Wind plays two roles in landscape photography. One is to make the leaves and flowers move, and an ordinary scene will look more interesting under the action of the wind; Another result is the use of high-speed shutter shooting, shooting the effect of dynamic solidification, but also to show the movement of objects.

(Different shutter speeds have different effects on the picture under the action of wind)

② It rains. Shooting in rainy days can be divided into three stages: before rain, during rain and after rain.

Before it rains, the clouds are densely covered, so a misty and rainy scene can be shot through a small scene.

In the rain, it is easier to show the existence of rain, especially under the premise of dark background, the falling process of rain silk will be reflected and more expressive. In addition, when there are clouds and rain, you can shoot local rainy scenes, which is also a very ideal rain scene shooting effect.

After rain, it is another way to show the freshness after rain. After rain, the air visibility is higher, and the wet dark road surface can increase the atmosphere of rainy days.

However, it should be noted that the light is dark in rainy days, or the contrast between light and dark is large, which has a certain impact on photography. At this time, the exposure should take care of the dark part, and the bright part is easy to overexpose. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably control the exposure of bright parts and appropriately increase the exposure of dark parts, so that there will be a good adjustment space for post-processing. There is also omitting the composition of highlights to make the brightness more balanced.

③ sunny day. The weather is sunny and sunny, and the shooting effect is excellent at sunrise and sunset. The exposure adopts manual exposure mode, taking the surrounding sun as the photometric benchmark, and manually controlling the specific exposure to shoot. You can also try shooting by backlight, sidelight or light level.

4 cloudy day. In fact, this kind of weather is not conducive to shooting landscape works. At this time, the light of shooting scenery works is relatively flat, and the sense of space is not good, which is not conducive to shooting big scenes. However, taking some scenic photos of small and medium-sized scenes can avoid the problem of poor performance of the dark parts in the shadows when there is light. Also, when shooting, try to avoid shooting the sky, or cover the sky with objects such as tree crowns and roofs, so that the overall effect of the picture is ideal.

⑤ Cloud. Can you go as the subject? Performance? But most clouds are shot to add color to the picture, that is, as a foil to the picture. Therefore, the clouds at this time should have a sense of lines or rich shapes, and it is not easy to use small clouds that are too small and broken.

6 snow. It is a good shooting subject, and the best shooting effect is sunny after snow. Attention should be paid to the role of light and the different shooting effects produced by different light levels (front light, metering and backlight). When shooting the snow scene in the composition, try to make the picture mostly in the white area, and simplify the appearance of other colors, so that the picture will look clean and tidy.

⑦ fog. Will bring mysterious colors to the picture, but also simplify the feeling of the picture, especially when it is matched with classical architecture, the artistic conception of the picture is very beautiful. When shooting foggy days, we should first choose a higher shooting position in the composition, and then pay attention to controlling the exposure. Histogram as we all know, first of all, we must ensure that the exposure of high-light areas does not overflow, and more fog levels can be adjusted later. At present, cameras basically have the functions of highlight protection or brightness priority like Canon cameras. Turning on this function will have a better effect on light white objects in the picture. Never expose a large area of white, which will become a plane.

8 lightning. Shooting lightning requires a long exposure, and the exposure can be selected according to different environments. This also needs to predict the direction of lightning, so as to make early composition. It is normal for lightning to appear in an unsatisfactory position, and catching up is a blockbuster. Most of these photos are blindfolded.

2. Geographical location

In fact, it is a matter of location, and there are high and low shots. High angle of view is generally used to shoot large scenes, middle angle to shoot panorama and details, and low angle to shoot towering scenes. For landscape photography, different perspectives have excellent expressive force for different environments, so don't blindly pursue perfection when shooting landscape works.
