What are the skills of landscape photography?

Lead: landscape photography, whether it is a landscape map or a figure landscape map, needs to master certain skills to take good photos. What are the skills of landscape photography? Come and have a look with me!

What are the skills of landscape photography? 1. Plan first.

Like any trip, you need to do your homework in advance and fully understand your destination. Antelope Canyon is divided into two parts? Upper canyon and lower canyon? It's all on Paige. March to 65438+ 10 is the most suitable season for photography, and the best time for photography is from noon 1 1 to afternoon 1. At this time, the light will shine from above the canyon, fully illuminating the canyon. There is a photo tour of the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, which is more expensive than the ordinary tour, but it is really worth it. The guide of the photography team will be of great help to you in capturing light. Highly recommended.

Step 2 equip

Did you bring it? Arsenal? The widest shot in the movie. You definitely need to take a wide picture, so you need a wide-angle lens. If you don't have a wide enough lens, try renting one. A tripod is also necessary, and the anti-shake function of the lens or fuselage should be turned off. Remote shutter is also a necessity to eliminate camera vibration and carry it with you.

3. Try not to change the lens

If you shoot with a digital SLR camera, it is very important not to change the lens when shooting in this canyon, because there is sand everywhere. You don't want to change the lens in the canyon. If you have a second camera, you can use another lens. Of course, don't forget to bring things that are easy to clean the lens, such as hair dryer and brush. Never use lens cloth/paper to directly wipe the lens with sand on its surface.

4. Use Live View (Live View)

This kind of canyon is generally crowded, people come in and out from the slit, and there must be people before and after. It's easy for someone to break into the viewfinder here. Try to use Live view to take photos on a clear and bright LCD (most of the latest digital SLR models now have this function), and press the shutter quickly when it is confirmed that there is no problem. Another advantage of using live view is that you can take into account the surrounding situation when shooting.

5. Use manual mode and RAW format

Set the camera to Manual (M) mode and shoot in RAW format. To take the best photos, the aperture should be kept at f/ 1 1- f/ 18, and the shutter should be between 2-6s, which varies according to the light. Always check the histogram to check the exposure results.

look up

You may often have to wait for the crowd to pass before you can start shooting. At this time, you can try different compositions, such as looking up. But remember, taking pictures of people is not always a bad thing.

Find a hiding place

Antelope Canyon is a sacred place for Navajo people. It tells the story of various shapes formed by these rocks after being eroded by water. One of the best photos of these canyons is to find the unknown places and show them in the photos.

8. Try to photograph the person in the photo

The appearance of someone in the photo will bring some life to the photo. In the following photo, please ask a tourist from South America to stand there. His clothes are in sharp contrast with the environment, which makes this photo more vivid.

9. Gao Fancha

High contrast will make the picture vivid. Many scenes of Gao Fancha can be found between the darkest area and the brightest area.

10. Bring a water bottle.

Finally, food is not allowed to be brought into these scenic spots, so if you plan to stay in these scenic spots for a long time, remember to have a full meal and bring a bottle of water before entering the scenic spots.
