Shooting skills of mountain scenery

Mountain scenery shooting skills are as follows:

1, fill the frame

The mountain is huge in nature. There is no need to put the whole scenic spot in a frame. You can also fill the frame with elements that attract your attention. You can use this mountain as the background in the image, which may be an attractive attempt to seek broad prospects within the framework. But if you take the time to discover some small details and take an interesting photo, you may find unexpected things.

2. Use reflected light as much as possible.

If you shoot a mountain near the water, then the frontcourt has already had great interest in vision. Please wait until the water hasn't stopped if you can. Then you can use the reflection of the mountain peak in the composition, which will take more distinctive photos.

3. Display the scale with smaller elements.

Mountains are usually very big, but when using a super wide-angle lens, the angle of view will eventually be pushed back, and it is difficult for the audience to really feel how big things are in the picture. This can be achieved by including a creature that can show the scale, or by adding people to mountain scenery photography to convey the size of the mountain.

Step 4 shoot at sunrise

Want to shoot the effect of Rizhao Jinshan, shoot at sunrise. At this time, the golden sunshine will dye the shade of the snowy mountain top golden, but the place where the sun can't shine is still very dark.

5. Side light enhances the three-dimensional sense of the mountain.

The projection direction of the side light forms 90 degrees with the shooting direction of the camera. Under the irradiation of this light, there will be obvious shadows on objects with uneven surfaces, and the contrast between light and shade in the picture is obvious, so it can highlight the three-dimensional sense and texture of the subject.

If you want to fully show the three-dimensional sense of the mountain in the picture, side light is the most ideal light. When the side light shines on the mountain, there will be a strong contrast between the rugged rocks on the mountain, which can not only show the three-dimensional sense of the mountain well, but also highlight its rough texture.
