How to shoot scenery films

1, good at introducing prospects. Many people can't figure out why there is no problem with the exposure and clarity of their photos when shooting landscape themes. But the photos just look bland and not brilliant. The reason why this happens is mostly because the foreground and background are not properly matched. Going out to take pictures will see if there are any prospects in the picture, such as rocks, boats, broken wood, hillsides and so on. If there is, it will be used as the foreground of the picture, thus increasing the depth and three-dimensional sense of the picture.

2. Pay attention to the details of the sky. People who like landscape photography basically don't like the blue sky, because such a sky has no details and no center, and adding it to the picture will only be counterproductive. People who like to take pictures of scenery like the sky to present various shapes, textures, brightness, colors and so on. Such a rich sky and the scenery on the ground are good scenery photos.

3. Maximize the depth of field. Beginners like to shoot with a large aperture, and take shallow depth-of-field photos with blurred background and clear subject, which is ok for shooting still life, portraits and other subjects. But the scenery is not good. Shooting scenery requires the overall clarity of the picture, that is, the depth of field. If there is wind, only the subject is clear and the background is blurred. Can you imagine what this scenery looks like? The scenery is basically shot with a wide angle and a small aperture, so as to ensure that the whole picture is clear and can be better displayed.

4. Try to find the lines. There is often a problem with landscape themes: how to guide the audience to see the visual center of the picture. There are many ways to achieve this effect, but the most direct and effective way is to use lines. The lines in the picture are not necessarily physical objects, but can be randomly composed of objects in the picture or made by the photographer himself. If there are lines in the picture, it can guide the audience's line of sight and make the photo more stereoscopic and vivid.

5. Grasp the "golden" moment. The prime time refers to one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset; At this time, the light is soft and colorful, which is most suitable for taking pictures. But during this time, you can't just take pictures, you need to think more and find the golden shooting moment of the picture.

6. Be good at using telephoto. Each focal segment has its own scenery composition, depending on whether you can give full play to its advantages. Here we focus on a telephoto lens, because telephoto lenses can not only narrow the field of vision, but also have certain limitations. For example, you can't choose your prospects freely. In addition, everyone should be familiar with the advantages of telephoto lens, such as narrowing the field of vision and compressing the space. In use, we should give full play to the advantages of telephoto lenses.

7. Seize the excellent opportunity. It's difficult to take a good picture of the scenery. In addition to taking time to wait, photographers should be adaptable enough to seize the opportunity. Sometimes the best light in the picture is just a moment. In such a short time, you should quickly compose the composition and adjust the camera shooting. In addition, the screen sometimes enters other elements. When other elements enter the picture, you should be able to quickly judge whether it is conducive to shooting. If it's suitable for shooting, then you should take it with your camera. This is more difficult, requiring photographers to be very familiar with their own equipment and have enough adaptability.

8. Boldly bring in characters. Bringing people into the landscape is something that many landscape photographers often do, because it can express the interaction between people and the landscape well. There are people at the scene, which can make the audience feel immersive when singing. In addition, people can also contrast with the scenery, highlighting the momentum of the scenery.
