Composition skills of low-angle photography

Introduction: Taking a low angle as the shooting angle does not mean advocating that people shoot at a low angle blindly. Instead, we can consider shooting at a low angle in addition to the daily angle, so as to diversify the photographer's works. For example, when shooting children and animals, you can try to put down your body and shoot images at the same level as children and animals, so that the audience can look at the world from the perspective of children and animals.

Be patient in framing and composition

When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to frame and composition through the viewfinder, and the result can only be shot by trial and error, which undoubtedly tests the photographer's patience. If the photographer's camera is equipped with Live View real-time display function and rotating screen, it will be easier to shoot.

Using the characteristics of wide-angle lens

Wide-angle lens has a wide viewing angle and can accommodate more scenes; In addition, the wide-angle lens has obvious perspective deformation, and the object close to the lens is larger, and vice versa. Photographers can make more use of the characteristics of wide-angle lenses to shoot images with rich scenery and exaggerated effects. In addition, the wide-angle image can also facilitate the photographer to process the image in the later stage of shooting, for example, after cutting due to the correction level, the subject can still be kept intact.

pay attention to the level

sometimes it is difficult to get the picture level accurately because it may not be possible to view directly when shooting. Photographers can add an external level to the camera. Generally, an external level can be added to the camera's flashing hot shoes. In addition, if the photographer's digital camera is equipped with an electronic level, it might as well be used more. Of course, images can also be processed by computer, but it is time-consuming.

handle image exposure with care

when shooting, you should pay attention to the image exposure. If the contrast between the background and the subject is large, the subject may be underexposed and the background exposure is normal (like silhouette); Or the subject is exposed normally and the background is overexposed (the background is completely white). For example, on a cloudy day, the sky is often white and there is no hierarchy, and the photographed image will be boring. Therefore, photographers should think carefully when considering the shooting angle.

Controlling the aperture and highlighting the focus subject

The aperture can control the depth of field; The focus can determine the clear position of the image. The flexible cooperation of the two, together with proper composition, can help photographers highlight the main body of their works.
