How do famous scenic spots take unconventional "punch-in" photos?

Taking unconventional "punch-in" photos in famous scenic spots requires learning some shooting skills.

First, define the subject of the photo.

This is the advice that countless professional photographers will give. The most common misunderstanding in photography is that I hope that the composition of my punch-in photos will focus on "punch-in" and "scenic spots" at the same time, which leads to the ambiguity of the subject of the photos, thus becoming a tourist photo of "visiting here". "Unconventional" punch photos naturally can't have this problem. Generally speaking, there are two ways to define the subject of excellent punch photos.

1, the scenery is the main body, and the punch is integrated into the photo in the form of foreground.

The most conventional way is to use the so-called "three-point composition method", which puts people in the lower third of the photo as a foil, and the landscape part occupies the main body. At this time, the shooting and later stage of punching photos should follow the law of landscape photography and regard people as part of the foreground.

It should be noted that the main body, that is, the landscape part, is best to attract people's attention, while the character part should be clean and concise (don't shoot other tourists, garbage scattered on the ground, etc.). ). Taking the unique elements such as starry sky, sunset, sea of clouds as the main body, it is a good method to silhouette or figure out the background.

2. Take the scenery as the background and the characters as the main body.

At this time, just follow the general portrait shooting method. Of course, we should pay attention to punching in, don't let the scenery as the background "take the lead", but also reflect the characteristics of "scenic spots" For example, these two photos taken in Chaka Salt Lake highlight the wonders of the "mirror of the sky". If you are taking a group photo, you need to deal with the position of the characters, maintain the "sense of balance" of the picture, and put on some cool pose to avoid being cliché.

Second, try an unusual perspective.

Changing the shooting angle is the easiest way to make the punching photos unique. When there is no clue, it is often a miracle to try to shoot down or up to get a different perspective from usual. We can make good use of selfie sticks, tripods and so on. Use a small plane even if the equipment allows.

Third, blend in with the scenery and pose in a cool position.

Especially for a group photo, if only a simple person walks to the next stop of the camera and presses the shutter in a hurry, it is difficult to avoid the photo being too serious and tacky. At this time, it is necessary to predict the final effect of the photo according to the characteristics of the scene, communicate with the subject, and then take a view and make a composition.
