What are the common photographic composition methods? In daily life, we can record the wonderful moments in life through photography, and the composition of photography is the basis for us to learn photography well. Next, I will take you to know about the related contents of common photographic composition methods.

What are the common photographic composition methods 1?

1, longest golden section composition: the scale value is close to 0.6 18. This is the longest-used classic rule.

2. This style of composition method: As the name implies, it is suitable for the structure of the central subject of the picture, and the left and right symmetry gives people a quiet and balanced aesthetic feeling. Especially suitable for classical architecture.

3. Horizontal line composition method: use horizontal lines in the picture to make composition, and horizontal lines can reflect the boundary. Composition with horizontal lines is suitable for expressing boundless beauty. Usually shooting the endless horizon or grassland will make people imagine beyond countless pictures.

4. Vertical line composition method: Compared with horizontal line composition, the vertical line of the subject is still used for composition, which is suitable for representing tall and straight objects, such as trees and pagodas. Can make the image higher and more powerful.

5. Diagonal composition method: use the diagonal line of the subject to make composition. Note that the horizontal or vertical lines are generally rotated into diagonal lines by changing the shooting angle. This kind of picture will have dynamic beauty, break the dullness and attract attention.

6, curve composition method: soft and smart, you can use this composition when there is a curve outline in the picture. The curve composition is ever-changing, showing the most beautiful "S" shape, which is suitable for expressing winding mountains and flowing water.

7. Triangle composition method: use the triangle outline in the picture to shoot. It is stable, regular triangle is the most stable, oblique triangle and inverted triangle are the most dynamic and impactful.

What are the common photographic composition methods: 2 1 and trichotomy?

Triangular composition should be the most common and basic composition method. This composition method divides the picture into nine equal squares with four straight lines. This composition is vivid and concise.

At present, most digital cameras and even mobile phones have built-in nine-grid auxiliary composition lines, which are suitable for all kinds of shooting subjects, the most commonly used ones are landscapes, people and so on.

2. Symmetric synthesis

Symmetrical composition has the characteristics of balance, stability and echo, but its disadvantage is that it is too rigid and lacks change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

3. Prospect and sense of depth

The photo itself is flat, but if you add foreground to the picture and shoot it wide-angle, you will have a sense of depth, thus achieving the effect of 3D.

4. Frame composition

Choosing a framed foreground can lead the audience's eyes to the scenery in the frame, highlight the main body and create a sense of depth. Forming a frame around the main image can create a mysterious atmosphere, just like a person peeking at a place from a hiding place. Frame composition is helpful to integrate the main image with the landscape and give the photo greater visual impact.

5. Criteria

Guiding line composition method is to guide the viewer's eyes with the lines in the picture, so that his eyes will finally converge on the focus of the picture. Of course, the guiding line is not necessarily a specific line, as long as it is directional and continuous, we can all call it a guiding line.

In real life, roads, rivers, neatly arranged trees, colors, shadows and even people's eyes can be used as guiding lines.

6. Diagonal lines and triangles

Diagonal and triangular composition can increase the dynamic tension of photos and make them look more vivid. Relatively speaking, the horizontal and vertical lines are very stable. If a person stands on a horizontal plane, it looks stable, but on an inclined plane, it will cause a sense of tension. This composition method is more used in architecture and sports shooting.

Eight points for attention in landscape photography 1. Be prepared and leave room: it is best to arrive at the shooting location one hour in advance and make all the preparations for shooting. To bring all necessary photographic equipment and accessories, a tripod is essential, and enough film and batteries should be prepared to prevent "running out of ammunition and food" at that time. If you shoot the sunrise, you should arrive before dawn, make full preparations and wait for the fleeting sunrise.

2. Be patient: an impatient person can't be a good landscape photographer. The "patience" mentioned here is not just waiting for the clouds to clear up, but when you find a scenery that you think is really worth shooting, and the shooting conditions are not ideal at this time, you can shoot it later, or shoot it in another season, or even spend several years waiting for the right shooting opportunity.

3. Be familiar with your equipment: changes in natural light often lead to rapid changes in the subject's situation, so you should be good at grasping the fleeting moments in shooting. The premise is that you should be really familiar with and fully master the equipment used, especially the various functions of the camera. It is unforgivable to miss an excellent shooting opportunity just because you don't know the equipment.

4. Take more photos: When you are intoxicated with the charming scenery in front of you, you will think that this must be a perfect landscape photography. However, the shooting angle you use is only a point in the circle around the subject. How can you be sure that only this location you choose is the best shooting point? Although we don't really need circular shooting, it is very beneficial to change the shooting viewpoint and angle, use lenses with different focal lengths and different exposure combinations (that is, adopt circular exposure).

5. Learn to use bad weather: mist, dark clouds, coming storms ... these so-called bad lighting conditions can be used. In fact, many excellent landscape photos we saw were not taken under the clear weather conditions in Wan Li.

6. Don't ignore the role of attachments: in landscape photography, flexible use of various filters can add icing on the cake to the work. Of course, the filter cannot be abused, nor can it destroy the original outdoor lighting conditions, otherwise it will feel artificial. You can also use the flash to play auxiliary light to increase the foreground details in the work.

7. Flexible use of composition: Although many works conform to these typical composition rules, never apply the rule of three-point composition when shooting. Dare and be good at breaking these laws. Good composition can only be obtained through careful observation, careful understanding and courage to practice. It is impossible to shoot excellent landscape photography by mechanically copying composition.

8. Maintain a healthy body: It takes a lot of physical strength to engage in landscape photography, which is beyond the reach of "sick seedlings".
