Three elements of shooting scenery

Do you know what are the three elements of shooting scenery? The focus of shooting is to fully express the environmental characteristics, which is often achieved with an open perspective and atmospheric composition. Matching props and other elements are combined to achieve a scene blending picture. Let's take a look at the three elements of landscape shooting with me, hoping to help you.

Three elements of landscape shooting 1 1. Different shooting distances and picture effects.

Different shots bring different changes to the scene, and different scenes have different expressive force.

The foreground has a distant landscape background, the characters are very small, and the range of scenery photographed is broad and far-reaching. Foresight focuses on the performance of the scene and the momentum of the scene, emphasizing the overall structure of the scene and ignoring the details.

The vision shows the momentum of the scene.

(2) The panoramic scene is smaller than the foreground, and the panoramic picture dominated by people can see the whole body of the characters in a certain environment. Panorama is good at expressing the whole picture of the subject and the characteristics of its environment. Relatively speaking, the subject of the panorama is more obvious than the foreground. Vision and panorama require a great depth of field.

(3) In the middle shot, the bust or bust of the character is shot, and the facial expression is clear. It is used to express the relationship between people, people and things, things and things, paying attention to the gestures and emotional communication of characters, and the middle scene wins with the plot.

④ Close-up highlights the main part and mental outlook, and the characters are mainly above the chest. Delicate description of the main features of the characters' demeanor or scenery, while showing the gesture, pay more attention to expressing inner feelings and facial expressions.

When representing the middle scene and the near scene, the background can be slightly empty.

⑤ Close-up mainly shows the face and other parts of the characters, or focuses on a certain part of the scene, which is more delicate than close-up description, showing more prominent detail structure and forming a strong visual impact.

Facial expression is the main expression, expressing inner activities and emotional expression; The movements and postures of hands and feet are very vivid. The close-up picture shows the big picture from the small, with far-reaching artistic conception.

The close-up highlights the parts that people usually don't pay much attention to, which gives people a deep impression.

The above scenes can be shot at different distances with the same focal length lens, and similar effects can be obtained with lenses with different focal lengths at the same shooting distance. However, the perspective change of the scene before and after the picture is different from the scene when the shooting distance is moved, and it has the perspective performance characteristics of the lens at each focal length.

Close-ups emphasize visual impact.

2. Different directions and picture effects

① The positive direction shows the positive image of the subject, showing the beauty of symmetry. Produce a sense of stability, solemnity, majesty and silence, and the characters appear cordial. However, frontal shooting lacks three-dimensional sense and spatial perspective, and it also appears calm and dull.

(2) Obliquely express the three-dimensional sense and space sense of the scene, which makes the picture vivid and helps to highlight the main body. Different tilt directions have different effects. When two people are together, the person in the front direction often becomes the main body of the picture, and the person in the back direction becomes the companion.

(3) The positive direction indicates the side features of the object, which makes the object have obvious directivity. Represents the side or outline of a character. Shooting people face to face from the front can show their equivalent relationship and their connection. Shooting profiles of people mainly shows the trend of action.

Follow-up shooting, this angle is better.

Follow the shooting of moving objects in the positive direction.

Generally, it is not suitable for shooting buildings from the front, which will weaken the three-dimensional sense and sense of space of buildings.

④ The back direction represents the back features and images of the object. Such as headdresses, braids, and costumes behind the characters. Taking pictures of the back focuses on grasping people's posture, reflecting the inner world of the characters at the moment through painting, and helping readers to have associations and feelings.

3. Different heights and picture effects

Different camera positions will produce different pitch angles. From this perspective, the camera has three shooting angles.

① Head-up shooting is also called head-up shooting. The camera and the subject are at the same height and shoot at a horizontal angle. The picture effect of head-up shooting conforms to people's visual habits, and it feels close and immersive, but it is easy to generalize and lacks new ideas.

Head-up can keep the original perspective effect of the subject without deformation. Head-up is also suitable for highlighting and representing foreground objects, which helps to block some scenes in the background and make the subject stand out.

Head-up feeling is very close

(2) shooting up is also called shooting up. The height of the camera is lower than that of the subject, and the camera head shoots upward. When shooting tall objects, we usually shoot them backwards.

Looking up at his figure, he looks tall and full of charm. The lens is shot at the knee height of the character, which can make the character slender.

Shooting up causes the angle of view to change. Tall buildings and lines converge to the top, and improper handling will cause the illusion of falling down. Shooting upward is helpful to emphasize and exaggerate the height of the subject, but it is necessary to prevent distortion due to excessive tilt.

Looking up, it gives a fresh and strange feeling.

Looking up, it looks slender, giving people a visual feeling of being tall and heroic.

3 prone shooting is also called overlooking shooting. The height of the camera is higher than the subject, and the camera looks down to shoot. Using the overlooking angle, the foreground and background can be fully displayed on the screen, which is helpful to show the size of the scene, the number of subjects, the rich scene levels and the far-reaching space.

Panorama is a special shooting angle, which is used to shoot the facial expressions of people looking up. A brand-new angle gives people a peculiar visual effect.

Three elements of landscape photography 2 For landscape photography, we need to take a camera to shoot outdoors. The theme can be natural scenery or urban architecture. One of the core advantages of using card camera in landscape photography is that the camera itself is very light, just like carrying a mobile phone, but the image quality, color and blur effect are better.

First of all, let's talk about natural scenery. Because the night scene will be introduced separately, the daytime shooting is mainly introduced here. The shooting of natural scenery mainly pays attention to three elements, one is framing and composition, the other is shooting angle and the third is parameter setting.

There are overwhelming introductions of framing and composition on the Internet, so I won't go into them separately here. Common compositions such as central point composition, symmetrical composition, golden ratio composition, TIC-tac-toe composition, guide line composition and so on. These specific scenes are analyzed in detail, but everyone is required to know these compositions and remember them when using them.

Don't always look up (shot by Canon G7X2)

Shooting angles are divided into three types: upward shooting, downward shooting and horizontal shooting. We often shoot from the head-up angle, but this angle can only take mediocre photos. So I suggest that you can try two shooting angles: shooting up and shooting down. Shooting up can take pictures of flowers, buildings, some souvenirs and so on. Can make the photographed object look taller and more majestic. Generally, high-altitude shooting is taken from high buildings. Of course, those with good economic strength can shoot overhead from helicopters and hot air balloons. Overhead shooting is mainly to take a close-up of a big scene or an area, which can make the landscape more hierarchical. Pay special attention to whether the elements in the picture are beautiful when taking pictures.

You can use F8-F 1 1 aperture for large scenes (shot by Canon G7X2).

Finally, the camera parameter setting. For landscape photography, I suggest you use the AV file of the camera, because the light changes quickly, and the AV file only needs to control the aperture and ISO, and the shutter is judged by the camera. If it is a close-up, you can use F4 or larger aperture; If shooting a large scene, you can use the aperture value of F8 -F 1 1. In the ISO part, while ensuring the shooting stability, try to use a smaller ISO value to ensure that the picture is clean and noise-free.
