Key points of framing in landscape photography

Introduction: Key points of composition and framing in landscape photography. Landscape photography composition framing refers to the photographer's organization and refinement of the scene in front of him, so that it can properly convey personal feelings and opinions. The factors that affect the framing effect are shooting distance, shooting angle and shooting direction.

The shooting angle affects the momentum of the shooting scene.

Different shooting angles will cause changes in object shape and scene momentum. Head-up shooting is mostly used to show friendly and natural picture effects; Looking up shooting is generally used to emphasize and exaggerate the height of the shooting scene, but it is easy to cause deformation when shooting; Overlooking shooting is mostly used to express and explain the whole picture of the shooting scene and its surrounding environment.

The horizontal perspective combines some elements such as the sky and clouds, showing the grandeur and broad momentum of the mountain.

Focal length: 24mm aperture: f/ 1 1 shutter speed:1125s sensitivity: ISO 200.

The angle of looking up highlights the tall and straight characteristics of Populus euphratica. Focus: 24mm aperture: f/5.6 shutter speed:1160s sensitivity: ISO 100.

Use similarity and change to grasp the rhythm of the picture

In photography creation, the photographer can arrange the alternation of virtual and real space, the change of density between elements, or the gradual change of length, straightness and size between similar elements through certain technical means, so that the work has a certain sense of rhythm and rhythm.

Taking the stones on the river beach as elements, the stones show a sense of rhythm and formal beauty.

Focal length: 18mm aperture: f/8 shutter speed:110s sensitivity: ISO 100.

Compared with other composition techniques, rhythm is more dynamic, even if the subject matter is dull, once there is a certain rhythm, it will leave a deep impression on people.

Use golden section to highlight the visual center of the picture.

In landscape photography, the significance of the golden section to composition is at least reflected in the following three aspects.

First of all, the golden ratio can be used to determine the frame ratio, such as the height 8 and width 5 of the vertical frame or the height 5 and width 8 of the horizontal frame, which can make the picture look more harmonious and beautiful.

Secondly, because landscape photography often needs to shoot scenes with sky, water and ground, the golden section ratio can be used to determine the position of horizon or horizontal line, for example, shooting water accounts for 5 in the picture and sky accounts for 8; Or the ground accounts for 8 and the sky accounts for 5, depending on the key points to be expressed in the picture.

Finally, using the golden section, we can determine the position of the visual focus in the picture, which should usually be placed at the golden section.

Although the subjects of the above two photos are different, the composition is arranged at the golden section of the picture.

These two photos show how to use the golden section to arrange the proportion of ground or water in the picture.

Handle the picture space reasonably and maintain a sense of balance.

When taking landscape photos, it is very important to deal with the balance of the picture, which gives people a sense of stability and stability visually. To achieve a balanced picture effect, it is necessary to manage all the elements in the picture, such as using the relationship between lightness and heaviness, truth and falsehood, density and simplicity in the picture, so that the picture can achieve a sense of visual and psychological balance, and at the same time inject vitality into the picture and create a non-rigid balance effect.

Focal length: 18mm aperture: f/ 14 shutter speed: 10s sensitivity: ISO 100.

The perspective performance of the wide-angle lens contrasts the foreground with the rocks in the background, and the low-angle framing is adopted to make the gorgeous clouds in the sky contained in the picture, so that the picture can be perfectly presented in a sense of balance and space.

Use the changeable lines of nature to express the picture

There are a lot of lines in landscape photography, including tangible lines and intangible lines. They not only make the picture very beautiful, but also divide the picture, or make the lines of the picture have certain visual directivity. Therefore, the rational use of lines can make the picture more formal aesthetic and spatial extensibility.

Directionality of lines

Lines have inherent continuity and directionality, and people's eyes tend to converge on the subject along the special and obvious lines that appear in landscape photography. Such lines have the function of visual guidance, or directionality.

Focal length: 28mm aperture: f/5.6 shutter speed: 1/200s sensitivity: ISO 100.

When the yacht crosses the water, the spray forms a diagonal line, guiding the audience to look into the distance along the direction of the yacht.

Formal beauty of lines

In landscape photography, lines are an important element of the formal beauty of the picture, and the winding mountain outline and beautiful architectural curves can bring beauty to the picture.

Focal length: 65mm aperture: f/ 16 shutter speed: 1/4s sensitivity: ISO 100.

Shooting with the lines of terraced fields, the grid structure shown in the picture looks particularly charming.
