Shooting skills of landscape photography

1, with the help of light and shadow, the scenery is more stereoscopic.

When shooting mountains, deserts, grasslands, cities and other landscapes, we all like to choose side light, so that the main body of the picture has high highlights, shadow areas and intermediate tones. With the help of these light and shadow expressions, our picture is more stereoscopic and layered.

2, strewn at random the main position, showing a three-dimensional sense

When taking landscape photos, you should walk around more, find more shooting angles, make the theme scattered, have prospects and backgrounds, and make the picture more layered.

3, choose the focal length, zoom in and out to avoid clutter.

To take a landscape photo, you need to use a wide-angle lens to increase the shooting angle and make the picture more visually impactful. However, in many cases, tourists will block or other distractions will have an impact on the picture, so zoom should be used appropriately to enlarge the subject of the scene appropriately to make it more prominent. In landscape photography, the wide angle has visual impact, the telephoto highlights the main body and has a sense of space compression.

4, the application prospect, the picture is richer and more layered.

In landscape photography, it is a good method to use foreground to make the picture more layered. When shooting, you can use the branches above as the foreground to limit the blank area in the picture so that the picture will not be in space; Roads, flowers, stones, rivers, etc. The following is often used as a foreground to enhance the layering of the picture, guide the audience to highlight the main body, and highlight the main body through front and back comparison.

5, character embellishment, the soul in the landscape

Simply shooting the scenery is beautiful, but it always feels boring. As shown below, adding a villain to the picture immediately makes the photo have a soul. At the same time, it is more intuitive to compare the size of the villain and the big scene. Therefore, when shooting scenery, embellishing the picture with characters will improve the level of the photo.

6. The best time to shoot the scenery

We need to use natural light to photograph the scenery. The strong light around noon is definitely not suitable for us to shoot. Morning and dusk are the best shooting time, the light is soft and the sun is low, which will form shadows and have a more layered feeling. So remember to "go out early and come back late" when taking scenery, and you can take better photos at this time.
