Structural skills of novice photography

Lead: If you like taking pictures as much as I do, it is better to familiarize yourself with the lighting skills of composition, and at the same time, with the use skills of SLR cameras, you can be more handy when shooting, and the photos with diverse perspectives are more exciting. Take EOS 100D as an example to share some composition techniques I often use:

Landscape transverse composition method

Because the visual angle of human eyes is horizontal, and many objects extend on the horizontal plane, horizontal composition has become the most conventional composition method.

When shooting with a SLR camera, the horizontal composition is used to bring the viewer's line of sight to the distant mountains from the perspective of road horizontal composition, which plays a role in highlighting the main body and enhancing the sense of space in the picture. EOS 100D+85mm F 1.8

Mountain scenery is shot in horizontal composition to create a sense of stability of the picture. At the same time, the horizontal and vertical composition can give people a natural, comfortable, peaceful and open visual experience. Eos100d+40mm F2.8

The horizontal and vertical of vertical composition

When there are many vertical lines in the picture, vertical composition is appropriate, which is helpful to strengthen the depth of the scene and increase the vitality and movement of the picture.

For example, when shooting buildings, trees, towers and other scenes with wide-angle vertical lines, vertical composition is often used, which makes it easier to show the height and majesty of the subject. Eos100d+17-40mm F4.

And the most important thing is to ensure the composition of the vertical composition of the building with telephoto? Horizontal and vertical? Eos100d+100mm2.8 was used to shoot the small town of Antwerp, Belgium. Many details such as trains, churches and pedestrians can be accommodated, and the sense of space created by the lens is very unreal.

Show details, leave blank and be more imaginative.

A large number of blank spaces are used in shooting techniques, which can make the whole picture full of enough imagination and achieve success. Fantasy fairy tale world.

Use EOS100d+100mm2.8 to capture a golden cat on the roof and look up at the heart-shaped clouds floating overhead. Where is the sky? It's so comfortable. I don't know what to do. It is better to stay here for free like a cat and wait for the sunset glow of 10 thousand colors.

Stripping the sculpture decorated on the roof from the whole building complex, re-composing and shooting, and taking the blue sky and white clouds as the background, you will find a brand-new picture. The soldiers who are about to go to war have returned to the literature and art in the new period with my thoughts, which has made the building more vivid. EOS 100D+ 100mm F2.8 .

Natural blank space in portrait shooting

Blank composition is also very practical when shooting portraits, so as to avoid the visual effect of the picture being too? Crowded? And then what? Crushed? There should be a certain gap in the direction of face line of sight to stimulate the viewer's thinking and guessing, enhance the readability and uniqueness of the picture, and make the picture more artistic.

Blank space can not only make the picture appear distinct, the theme clear, and fit the mood of the characters, but also make it easier to express the story and artistic conception of the picture. Eos100d+50mm F 1.4.

In order to create a sense of space, you can shoot the subject with a clean background, and use trisection or middle composition to express your meaning more prominently. A large area of white space on the left side makes the picture more readable.

Reflection and the charm of reflection

Photography can be without technology, but it can't be without feelings. We can find subtle beauty in the edge, such as reflection, reflection, and capture their expressions, so that dignified buildings can have the same vitality. When the light is good, you can measure light evenly. At sunrise and sunset, measuring light, using a smaller aperture and increasing the depth of field will make the scene and its reflection very clear.

For example, shooting the flowing water on the roadside reflects a corner of the Champs Elysé es and the blue sky. The reflection in the water is the art of light and shadow, which makes the picture full of dreamy colors.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop reflect the shadow of St. Michel's Cathedral in Brussels, which is so charming that it is even more charming if it is looming. Explain the mystery of architecture from a new angle? Quality. Eos100d+17-40mm F4.

The forms of reflection are ever-changing, and there is no certain law. If you want to shoot different beautiful reflections, you must master the speed of the shutter. Quick snapshot can freeze the water surface, and the reflection presents a world that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, while the slow door can blur the details of the reflection and create a dynamic special artistic conception. These all need us to discover and exercise in practice. Eos100d+50mm F 1.4

Low-angle camera

Photographs taken from a horizontal angle often appear ordinary and boring. Changing the angle when meeting the right subject can make the photo fresh and vivid, and shooting at a low angle can bring new visual impact to the photo.

Especially when shooting children and animals, you can try to put down your body and shoot at a height with ta, so that the audience can see the world from the perspective of ta. Eos100d+50mm F 1.4.
