On the focusing skills of landscape photography

I'll take you to know about landscape photography-focusing skills.

Talking about landscape photography-focusing skills ● How to choose different focusing methods? Both SLR digital cameras and better consumer digital cameras provide autofocus and manual focusing.

Auto-focus mode is very convenient to use. The photographer can start focusing by pressing the shutter button half-time, and the camera can focus quickly and accurately. When using autofocus shooting, you can also use the focus lock to lock the focus, which is convenient for the photographer to move the camera to re-compose; Photographers should give priority to autofocus mode. Auto-focus is sometimes out of focus for special reasons (the shutter cannot be pressed completely).

Manual focus mode focuses the scene by the photographer rotating the focus ring, which makes the selection of focus position more flexible and can focus accurately under any circumstances; Manual focusing is usually used in situations where the autofocus effect is not ideal, such as shooting through water or glass, scenes with different distances from the camera appear in the picture, and the color of the focused picture changes little.

The photo below was taken in autofocus mode. Using a camera can quickly focus on a clear landscape, and using a small aperture can present a clear landscape picture.

Talking about landscape photography-focusing skills ● Choosing different focusing positions determines the depth of field of landscape photography.

Selecting close focus will blur the background. In autofocus mode, the photographer can determine the focus position of the picture by selecting the focus point; In manual contrast mode, the photographer can control the focus by adjusting the clear position of the picture; When you choose to focus on the main body of the camera in the picture, the depth of field of the picture will become shallow, and you can get better background blur effect.

Selecting the middle focus will blur the scene before and after. When focusing the middle scene in the picture, the foreground close to the camera and the background far from the camera are easy to blur because they are outside the depth of field of the picture. When shooting, the longer the focal length, the larger the aperture and the more obvious the blur effect.

Choosing the far focus can emphasize the sense of distance. Focusing on the scene far away from the picture can increase the depth of field of the picture, keep more details of the middle scene and the distant view in the picture, and make the picture more spatial. Photographers can use the foreground close to the camera to increase the distance of the picture, and can also express the sense of space through the change of the size of the scene in the foreground and background.

Use panoramic focus to make the close-up and distant view clear. Pan-focus, that is, hyperfocal distance, is the shooting distance where the maximum depth of field can be obtained. When focusing at a far distance, the depth of field of the picture is 1/2 from hyperfocal distance to infinity. Pan-focus can increase the depth of field of the picture, so that the middle scene and prospect in the picture can be clearly presented. Photographers can refer to the hyperfocal distance reference table or the depth of field scale on the lens to get hyperfocal distance with different focal lengths and apertures.

The following picture focuses on a far-away building (Beijing West Railway Station building), with a small aperture and short focal length to make the picture have a deep depth of field. In a clear panoramic picture, the rich layering from close range to distant view greatly enhances the sense of space in the picture.
