Skills of taking landscape photos

The beauty of China's landscape can be either ink and wash landscape painting or color oil painting. Whether it is the flowing water of small bridges, the majestic mountains and waterfalls, or the tranquility of mountain springs here, it is an indispensable part of this painting.

Then, every time we feel these beautiful scenery, we should not only regret it. Such a beautiful scenery, I can't even take a tenth of it. We can only miss these beautiful mountains and rivers by memory, which is really a great regret in life.

Then, don't mind. Next, Bian Xiao will help you sort out some shooting techniques for taking landscape photos. Study hard, I believe you can take the photos you want to keep.

Shooting skill

(1) Try shooting vertically and horizontally.

Vertical shooting and horizontal shooting will achieve different effects, but the actual situation must be considered. If you shoot a lot of irrelevant things horizontally, you can try shooting vertically and vice versa. In addition, if the photos you take need to be printed or used by customers for business, you need to leave them blank in advance.

Direct shooting can also take imposing photos!

Wide-angle lens can shoot a wide environment.

(2) Looking for prospects

Prospects are very important for new photographers! Many beginners tend to ignore this point, resulting in blurred pictures. When taking landscape photos, please pay attention to the application of foreground, which will enrich the content of the picture.

Taking the hut as the foreground can enhance the richness of photos.

(3) Make good use of guide wires.

When walking in the mountains, you can find many trails, railings and even the connection between mountains from time to time, which is also the theme of some guiding lines. When using guide lines, remember that you don't have to look for actual lines. Sometimes lines will appear from another angle!

You can also find the composition of the guide line everywhere!

(D) Make good use of comparative method

There are many ways to contrast composition, such as color, size, distance and so on. You can make more use of this contrast composition method when shooting mountains.

There is also a contrast technique that is very suitable for mountains, such as the movement of the sea of clouds in the sky and the quietness of the ground. Record the flowing clouds with a slow shutter tripod to set off the quiet atmosphere on the ground!

(5) Use the three-point method

Triangulation and golden section are the most commonly used composition techniques. When you come to a scenic spot, you may wish to consider the three-point composition first, and then find some special angles and scenery shots to make your portfolio change a little more!

(6) shoot yourself.

Sometimes it's boring to shoot scenery. You climbed to the top of the mountain so hard, of course you should take a picture of yourself! It's more of an immersive feeling.

Bian Xiao has compiled so much, I hope it will be useful to everyone. Let's get ready, give it a try and see how it works!
