Training method of photographer's basic architectural skills

Lead: It is said that taking good photos depends on inspiration and talent. In fact, this is only one aspect. Skills cannot be ignored. Here are some composition training methods for you. Let's have a look!

Horizontal and vertical composition

Theme: scenery, mountains and rivers, architecture, people, etc.

Requirements: Use horizontal composition to show stability and breadth, and vertical composition to show depth and height. There should be no useless space in the picture.

Suggestion:

1, shooting the same theme with horizontal and vertical composition methods respectively, and comparing the different feelings of the works.

2. In horizontal composition, use the lens above the standard focus when expressing the sense of stability, and use the wide-angle lens when expressing the sense of width.

3. Use a wide-angle lens when the portrait composition expresses the sense of depth and height, and pay attention to the position configuration of the close-range and distant view in the picture. Pay special attention to the horizontal and vertical when composing a composition, and use a tripod.

Triangular composition

Subject matter: triangular or triangle-like scenery, architecture, character modeling, etc.

Requirements: Use triangles in different positions in the drawing to show a sense of stability, jumping, height and width.

Suggestion:

1. There are easily recognizable triangles in the picture, and the focus of complex objects composed of triangles should be balanced in three dimensions.

2. For tall and slender scenes such as tall buildings and roads, use a wide-angle lens below 20 mm..

3. Use the depth of field prediction function.

Symmetric synthesis

Subject matter: all symmetrical scenery, figures and buildings.

Requirements: Use symmetrical composition, showing a sense of stability and surreal artistic conception.

Suggestion:

1, choose a beautiful symmetrical shape, the focus on both sides of the symmetrical shape should be solid, and each symmetrical shape should be obvious.

2. Try to use a lens with a standard focal length or above, and keep the camera parallel to the subject when using a light angle lens.

3. Use a polarizer when shooting a scene with a symmetrical composition of shore and water.

When you have to shoot Quan Jingshen with a small aperture, please use a tripod.

Vertical and horizontal composition

Subject: landscape, architecture, etc.

Requirements: the picture is a simple beauty composed of multiple parallel lines or vertical lines.

Suggestion: the lines of the picture should be horizontal or vertical, and the lines should be beautiful. The horizontal or vertical lines should cover the whole picture and use a tripod.

S-shaped and diagonal composition

Subject: S-shaped or diagonal urban roads, rivers, mountains, bridges and roads.

Requirements: use an S-shape to express the sense of depth, use diagonal lines to express the sense of breadth and movement, and the S-shape should reach both ends of the picture. If it breaks down halfway, there should be room in front.

Suggestion: The configuration of S-shaped and diagonal lines should have a sense of balance, and we should carefully feel whether the works have a sense of depth and breadth, whether the theme is clear and whether the theme is prominent.

Golden section composition

Subject: Any one will do.

Requirements: the subject to be represented should be at or near the demarcation point, line and composition should be balanced. The main body should be prominent, and there should be no extra parts in the picture.

Suggestion: Write a composition according to your own ideas first, and then use the golden section flexibly.
