What are the construction skills of landscape photography?

Framing is a very important problem in photography. Only by choosing the shooting direction and angle that best represents the subject can we better express the characteristics of the subject, and only by adopting a unique composition can the subject present eye-catching visual effects in the opposite direction. We can directly apply these modes in natural scene photography to obtain perfect works.

Natural scenery photography is characterized by a wide field of vision and many scenery. If we take an all-encompassing approach without making any trade-offs, the situation will be chaotic and the theme will not be given due emphasis. Therefore, when shooting, we should make reasonable arrangements for the scenery within the shooting range. In order to make the picture as simple as possible, we should also pay attention to the distribution of colors and tones in the picture when shooting, and be careful not to make the colors and tones in the picture messy and uneven. The following problems should be paid attention to in landscape photography composition.

First, highlight the highlights and set off the theme. In the shooting of natural landscape, we should highlight a beautiful point, make it form a harmonious combination with the scenery, and make the picture present the overall beauty. The composition method can be Huang Jinlv or Law 37, and the best shooting angle should be carefully searched. Highlighting the theme is the primary task of natural landscape shooting. Only when the subject image is clear can the photo have a strong visual impact. One way to highlight the subject is to put the subject in the interesting center of the picture when composing. In addition, the body and environment of the foil should play the role of setting off the main body of the picture.

The application of foreground is very important in natural landscape photography. The big foreground can beautify the whole picture, and the small foreground often plays a good role in rendering, embellishing and decorating the picture. The specific prospect can depend on the subject.

Second, enhance the depth with layers. When taking natural landscape photos, we should try to form a sense of space depth in the picture. Without spatial depth, the scene in a two-dimensional picture cannot have a three-dimensional sense of space.

In natural landscape photography, we should be good at capturing the level of scenery and the depth of space. There are three levels of scenery: distant view, middle view and close view. Using the levels of near and far scenes in natural scenery photography is the best way to create a sense of space, but for beginners, it is enough to use two levels of near middle scenes or middle scenes and distant scenes. There is no need to unilaterally ask for multiple levels of scenery from the beginning, otherwise the photos will become messy if they are not handled well. Using the perspective effect of the scene is also an effective way to enhance the spatial depth of the picture. Perspective can form a strong change in the size of the shouting surface, so that the scene has a rich sense of hierarchy between the size.

The spatial layout should be reasonable in natural landscape photography. You can use methods such as borrowing scenery, dividing scenery, and isolating scenery, such as shooting scenery from doors, windows, holes, etc., which is interesting in isolating scenery.

Third, the position of the horizon in the natural landscape is very important. Normally, the horizon should not be centered. If the clouds and other scenery in the sky are very rich, the horizon should generally move down. If the clouds and other scenery in the sky are a little dim, we should move the horizon upward, which is generally parallel to the upper and lower borders of the picture, especially when shooting architectural scenery, otherwise the buildings in the photo will feel inclined.
