Four common sense that a novice photographer must learn.

Beginners learn how to find subjects and composition in photography.

Determine the theme

When we see beautiful scenery, do we feel that our eyes are full of amazing beauty? Where can we see everything? However, if you take everything in the photo, it won't look good. You must find a subject and use everything else as a foil to take a good-looking photo.

Figure 1: Different from other photographic works, shooting the rolling mountains shows a ridge leading to the horizon. Horses and herders running on the ridge make the lines of the picture clearer and the main body more prominent.

Figure 2: The main body of this work is prominent, which is different from other pastoral works. This work is only set in the field, and the main body is people standing on the edge of rice fields. Is this work more story-telling?

Find a good angle

The same scenery, some people take a good look with a large sense, and some people take a dull picture, which has a lot to do with the shooting angle. This requires everyone to improve their aesthetics and creativity, and find more angles when shooting!

Figure 1: Isn't it creative to shoot the sun like this? The stone peak also acts as an aperture. If the stone peak falls, this photo will be too ordinary!

Figure 2: When you meet a tree full of flowers, do you just want to photograph the whole tree? If you shoot the whole tree, the effect is actually not very good. This work uses diagonal composition method, and the picture feels different from another composition angle!

Learn to use light

Photography photography is to shoot light and shadow, and our photos are more layered because of light and shadow, so when shooting scenery, we must learn to use light to improve the texture of photos.

Figure 1: This is the shared Ye Guang, that is, the Tindal phenomenon. Is there a beautiful and sacred feeling? Want to know how to shoot, look through the notes in front ~

Fig. 2: This kind of backlight shooting is very suitable for photographic works with a sense of story. Pay attention to blank space, simple composition, and make photos more expressive.

Learn to use lines

Although the scenery is beautiful, you must have a sense of composition when shooting, in order to shoot a large-scale landscape. There are also many lines in nature. Using these lines well can not only guide the line of sight, but also increase the penetration and depth of photos.

Figure 1: Is it more layered to extend people's visual focus to the distant sea surface with the bridge extending to the distance as the guide line than to simply photograph the sea surface?

Figure 2: The radian of the train track is connected with the distant urban buildings in a diagonal shape, and ready-made lines are also used to enrich the picture.
