Detailed rules for shooting grassland scenery

Quiet in chaos, moving in silence? It is my deepest understanding of Bashang landscape photography. The following are some personal suggestions, which may be helpful for you to take photos when you first come to Bashang. I'll take you to get to know it.

1. Aesthetic consciousness: Whether you come to the grassland for the first time or for many times, you may be confused by her beautiful scenery and changing light and shadow. At this time, you must calm down, observe with confidence, and discover her most beautiful things with your discerning eyes.

2. Theme composition: When you find beautiful scenery, you must establish the theme of your picture in the chaotic scene, that is, what is the artistic conception of your picture, which is the most important thing for the success of your picture.

3. Run out: Once the picture is determined, how can we make a good picture? At this time, you should constantly change your position and shooting angle, use light to express the beauty of your picture curves and lines, make the light and shade clear, enhance the layering and make the theme more prominent. Because of the unique geographical location, the climate changes greatly, the sunrise and sunset times of the four seasons are very different, and the direction and orientation are constantly changing, but the grassland mountains in the hills and the flowers and trees growing on them will not change, and the shooting attractions in each season are different, so you need to be very familiar with the shooting attractions, and use the changing light in each time period to take your own satisfactory photos.

4. Color matching: Whether shooting black and white or color works, the overall color matching of the picture must be coordinated, with clear priorities and natural and harmonious color transition. The main colors of the four seasons in Bashang are Chun Lv, summer flowers, autumn colors and winter rhyme. In spring and summer, the vegetation is lush, the wild flowers are in full bloom, the blue sky and white clouds are beautiful, Lin Qiu is all dyed and colorful, and the winter is snowy and white. In addition, in every season, animals such as cattle, horses and sheep often break into your lens, which makes your picture lifelike and the grassland theme picture more perfect.

5. Shooting skills: With an idea, the picture is in front of you. How to express it with the camera in your hand is of course very important. The most important thing is that you must be quite familiar with the camera function, and use the best combination of camera aperture and speed to achieve the best effect of foreground, middle scene and background, so that you are satisfied and even take unexpected results.

6. Post-production: A good picture, if it is not well shot in the early stage, it will be useless to work hard in the later stage, so I generally pay more attention to the early stage, not to say that the later stage is useless. If you shoot well in the early stage, it is easy to achieve the effect you want in the later stage. However, strong post-production can still save some small mistakes in picture shooting. Of course, no matter how good the work is, if the photos taken are too problematic.

Speaking of grassland, you will definitely think of it? The sky is wild, and the wind and grass are moving to see cattle and sheep? It is very difficult to shoot, but the geographical environment of Bashang grassland is unique, and hills, grasslands, forests, lakes and herds are wonderfully combined. For photographers, either choose a wide-angle lens to shoot spectacular atmospheric scenes or choose a medium telephoto lens to shoot smart light and shadow grasslands. The following two photos were taken at the same sunset shooting location. It seems to be two completely different scenes.

The light beam often penetrates the grassland scenery on the dam in the clouds, which is a moment when everyone who loves photography is too excited to control his emotions. If you are really lucky enough to encounter the picture of the light beam penetrating through the clouds, remember to seize this excellent opportunity to capture it! At this time, it is necessary for you to find an excellent shooting position, and the shooting position should be high, so that you can not only see the light beam, but also clearly see the scenery projected by the light beam on the ground. Because you shoot directly at the light source, you must be extra careful to avoid overexposure. Try to shoot the bright one, then the dark one, and then make a comparison.

In landscape shooting, using golden section composition or tic-tac-toe composition is a common composition technique. If you put the subject at the golden section or the place where the tic-tac-toe crosses in the picture, in many cases, you can make the picture change greatly without making one side of the picture too heavy. For example, putting the center of the subject in the middle may also bring unexpected gains, because the center of the picture is the place that attracts the audience's attention most, and proper arrangement will bring strong visual impact.
