How to shoot magnificent and breathtaking mountains?

Hello, there are a few points for reference when shooting.

1, surface decoration: Peach blossoms under the snowy mountains are a key point of this picture. Without the reference and embellishment of peach blossoms, snow-capped mountains will regard them as tasteless. Peach blossom is in the lower third of the picture, and its color is in great contrast with the snow-capped mountains, which increases the color sense of the picture. At the same time, peach blossoms are soft, snow-capped mountains are steel, and soft steel is more meaningful.

2. Sense of space: It can be seen that there is no foreground picture. Although there are lines in the lake, the sense of space before and after is not strong. The vertical extension of the picture is immediately enhanced because of the foreground, and the two-dimensional image has a three-dimensional effect.

3. Light: Light is very important for the composition of mountains. The mountain in the above picture has sunshine, yin and yang, and it has a strong three-dimensional effect. The light in the picture below is almost backlit, and the light in the red circle indicates that the sunshine will increase the irradiation range in the near future, so the shooting time is not good at this time.

4. Set off by the shady mountain: the mountain on the sunny side (light receiving side) is particularly prominent. Generally, when shooting a mountain, it is better to shoot at 90 degrees from the sun, because the side light can highlight the three-dimensional sense of the mountain, with yin and yang and strong contrast between light and shade. Generally, it is difficult to reflect the three-dimensional sense and texture of the mountain under positive or negative light.

5. Contrast between no prospect and prospect: no prospect just makes the picture stay on the hill, but with prospect, the picture returns to the ground from the hill and becomes a more spatial picture. Generally speaking, if you want to show the details of the mountain, you can often zoom in on the mountain with a telephoto lens, but if you want to get a picture of artistic conception, it is a better choice to choose a suitable foreground. After all, in landscape photography, close-ups can only depict objects, but artistic conception often needs a lot of elements to set off.

6. Reference, reference is often used to reflect the height and majesty of the subject. Because there is no reference for comparison, who knows how high the mountain is? This reference can be a person, a tent, a tree, and any object whose size can be perceived by ordinary people. However, the reference does not always exist in the scene, so we should consciously look for it when composing. When we shoot scenery, we often choose a living reference, which can not only set off the greatness of nature, but also increase the vitality of the picture.

If there are beautiful clouds over the mountains, you can consider using the mountain-occupied picture 1/3, or the composition form in which the sky and the mountains each occupy half of the picture, so that the two can echo each other. At this time, it can not only reflect the balance of the picture, but also show the overall artistic conception of the body. If you want to show the height and steepness of the mountain peak and enhance the depth of the picture, you can shoot vertically with a camera.
