Yuntai shooting skill

The shooting skills of Yuntai: inverted triangle composition, telephoto capture of mountain scenes, water scene exposure-flowing silk, small scene combination, and sketch of dynamic and static contrast.

1, inverted triangle composition

With the help of mountains, part of the environment is intercepted during shooting, which makes the mountains appear mountainous. The inverted triangle composition formed in this way not only makes the picture more active, but also adds a mysterious atmosphere to the mountains.

2. telephoto collects mountain scenery fragments

The telephoto lens can not only take long-distance pictures, which is beneficial to special composition, but also play a role in compressing pictures, so that the mountain scenery photos taken will be compact in form. In order to keep the picture clear, you can choose a multi-section folding tripod that is easy to carry when shooting, and cooperate with cable release to assist shooting.

3, water exposure-silk flow

The shooting of water current requires the ambient light to be as dim as possible. In this way, the exposure time can be extended and the camera can record the process of water flow. The common method is to use the aperture priority mode of the camera to narrow the aperture of the camera and reduce the amount of light entering the lens, thus prolonging the exposure time of the camera and taking a silky and smooth effect. If the ambient light is too bright, you can also use grey mirror (ND mirror) to dim the light. Pay attention to such shooting, you need to use a tripod to help stabilize the camera.

4. Small scene combination

When taking pictures of waterscape, we can look for scenery that matches the environment, such as strange rocks or shoals on the shore, mossy rocks in the water, or aquatic plants flowing in the water. The shooting of waterscape sketches should be different from the primary ones. Don't include too many subjects in the picture, but this doesn't mean that you can't include too many elements, but each element should have a certain unity in form or color, so that the combined photos won't look messy.

5. Schematic diagram of dynamic and static comparison

Dynamic and static contrast refers to the use of the dynamic and static relationship between composition elements to achieve the purpose of highlighting the main body. Static motion or static motion can form a contrast relationship. When shooting water and trees, the subject is very prominent, because the water is constantly flowing and the trees are relatively static.

If the picture is full of static scenery, the whole will appear lack of vitality; If all the pictures are dynamic, it will make the audience fidget. Only by properly grasping the relationship between motion and static can the picture be interesting.
