What are some tips for taking excellent photos?

No matter what you do, you will have a goal. Writing articles will have a theme, and photography is no exception. An excellent photographic work must first have a theme, so that people can understand what you want to tell others at a glance. If there is no theme or the theme is not clear, others will not know what you want to express. Even if the picture is beautiful, it cannot be called an excellent work. Without a clear theme, it means no soul. Of course, the meaning of a work depends on the viewer's understanding of it, which may or may not conform to the author's original intention, which is normal.

2, the main body should be prominent

In an excellent photographic work, there must always be a bright spot (interest point), which is what we usually call the "visual center", which can condense the attention of the viewer. The visual center can be a real subject, such as a person, an animal, a tree, a meadow, a red sun, etc. It can also be in a specific form, such as a certain color, line shape and so on. The area occupied by the subject in the picture can be large or small, it should be real rather than virtual, and it should be less rather than more. Usually a picture is enough. Too many pictures are messy. Instead of becoming a visual center, it will be easy to usurp the role of the host.

3, the picture should be concise

Photography is different from painting. Painting is addition, photography is subtraction. Photography is constantly screening in the complicated scenery, and choosing the picture you need through subtraction, that is, making a reasonable choice in composition. Facing the scene in front of the camera, what should be put in and what should be avoided should be expressed through composition. The picture should be as concise as possible and express your intention in the simplest way. In addition to the subject, only the elements that set off the subject or are related to the subject are retained, and the elements that disperse the subject are excluded, so as to obtain accurate theme expression and beautiful visual effects. )

4. Instantly wonderful

Photography is to freeze the wonderful moments in the photos. The movement process of an object is continuous and uninterrupted, and wonderful moments are often hidden in this movement process. If you use video to express this movement process, it is a long arc; And expressed by photographic photos, it is a point. Needless to say, even the static scenery has wonderful moments, because the light and shadow are constantly changing, and it is precisely for this reason that some photographers crouch at a point for several days or even dozens of days to shoot a picture of Zhang Fengguang.
