Tips for taking landscape photos

1. Look for bright light: Light is the soul of photos. As long as you get the right light, your photos will become different! Shoot in a beautiful landscape at noon and your photos will still be dull, but if you shoot at dusk or sunrise, even the most mundane places can produce stunning results.

2. Contain a clear purpose: The element that needs to be paid attention to is that the photo should contain a clear purpose. Although it seems easy to understand, it is actually easy to be ignored. When you see beautiful scenery, you will naturally want to take pictures of flowers, trees, rivers, mountains, etc. Then the photo will become very confusing and lose the main subject for readers to focus on. Usually after arriving at a scenic spot, it is best to first see what scenery is most attractive: is it the mirror reflection of the lake? Is it a yellow flower among all the green flowers? Is it a flowing stream? Then make it the subject of the photo so that the main character is clearly highlighted.

3. Concise background: Like the second point of "clear goals", a concise background can allow you to avoid clutter and distracting things. To capture a simple background, we often have to change the angle so that we can get a satisfactory effect when composing the picture.

4. Interesting and varied composition: Painting starts with a blank space and then slowly adds elements, but photography is exactly the opposite. We must try to remove unnecessary things. So what elements can be used in the composition? Lines, knots, textures, geometry, light and shade, and contrast. You can try to include one to three or more elements in the composition, and you will also take beautiful photos.

5. Make good use of the gradient gray filter (GND): When shooting landscapes, especially during the day, the light ratio between the sky and the ground will be very large. If you shoot directly at this time, the sky will be overexposed. , or the ground is underexposed, make good use of the gradient gray filter (you can use a black card for long exposure), you can capture the ground while retaining the details of the sky, and the overall feeling will be much more professional.
