What proportion of pictures do you usually use to shoot landscapes?

The picture proportion of the photographic landscape can be adjusted according to the diversity of styles, as follows:

I. Square frame (1: 1)

Drawing can usually simplify the picture and make the object in the center of the picture have an impact force. The square frame can effectively change the way the audience looks at the picture-not from left to right or from top to bottom, but make the line of sight more focused on the center. At the same time, the square border naturally reduces the number of background scenes. Keep the width and height of the picture equal and reduce the distance from left to right.

2.6:4 format -35mm format (also called 3:2)

Therefore, the default ratio of 35mm film is that of most Nikon/Canon Quan Huafu and aps-c cameras. The width of the picture is obviously longer than the height, so the reader will subconsciously look at the picture from left to right, and the diagonal guide line will be more appropriate here.

Third, the widescreen format (16:9)

The proportion and width of this kind of pictures are completely dominant, which is suitable for presenting landscape pictures taken with telephoto lenses at a certain distance. When using this format, the width is the main presentation factor, but the depth will not be enough. This format is also suitable for displaying horizontal lines (such as extended horizon/sea level). ).

4. Panoramic format (2: 1 or 3: 1)

The commonly used aspect ratio of panorama is 2: 1 (medium format film machine) or 3: 1(APS). This format is usually used to present the result of stitching two or more images-it is difficult for a single photo to reach such a width, and the distortion will be very serious. However, the shooting effect will be much better after stitching multiple photos with a medium focal length lens.
