How to form pattern lines with shadows

Lead: The use of shadow composition is very flexible. Let me have a look with you.

The position of the pattern line can be changed at will.

In the composition of the three-point line, the most representative example is shooting? Peak? Photos of. This case is a sunrise scene taken by a photographer. In this case, instead of showing the sunrise rising in Ran Ran, a large area of the sea surface was intercepted to show the sunrise reflected on the sea surface and the scenery presented at that time. When shooting, the photographer did not consider composition methods such as dichotomy, but would distinguish? Key performance targets? And then what? Secondary performance target? As a key point, a comprehensive composition consideration was made. At this time, if there are clouds with decorative effects, the effects of the sky and the ocean may be very different. So what happened at that time? Elements? Decided the change of composition. Because my own job is advertising photography, I am not allowed to change the composition of photos at will, but I have to rely on myself when creating photographic works? Willful? Press the shutter. This kind? Willful? It is the photographer's feeling that can bring vitality to the work. Triangular composition in a sense? Unstable? Composition. But because of this, a good composition of the three-point method can bring movement to the photos.

The reflection of the horizontal line and the water surface attracted the attention of the viewer.

Use shadows to represent the existence of light.

Where there is light, there is shadow. The idea that the composition is dominated by shadows is very common when shooting natural scenery. Of course, the strength of the shadow in the scene at that time can determine the composition, so the stronger the shadow, the better the effect. If the shadows and bright parts are blurred, the persuasiveness of the composition and the expressive force of the work will be weakened.

Shadows can be used to show different effects of pictures. Because there is light, if we can make good use of it, we can weave a picture of light and darkness. In actual shooting, the number (area) of shadows is good or not, depending on the theme that the photographer wants to express. In this case, what is it? Visiting the earth at sunset? . If the shadow area becomes two-thirds, then it can be expressed? The sun will set and darkness will come? This momentum. Therefore, there is no hard and fast rule about the area occupied by shadows, and photographers should allocate the area on the basis of clearly expressing their shooting intentions.

Add shadows to show the sunset.

Create a unique composition with only light and shade.

When shooting scenes such as mountains, it is difficult to get an ideal picture under the top light. In contrast, the oblique light at sunrise and sunset is ideal. When shooting a mountain, the oblique sunlight will be blocked by the mountain peak, and there will be two parts: the sunny ridge and the sunless ridge. In mountain photos, using such ridges for composition can achieve very good results.

Basically, it is very important to use eye-catching highlights instead of shadows. In this case, the photographer arranged a ridge on the diagonal extending from the upper right direction to the lower left direction of the picture. At this time, the proportion of light and shadow in the picture is almost the same, so the photographer reduces the area where the light shines on the ridge and highlights the shining ridge where the sun shines.

In addition, it should be noted that the protagonist in the photo is the birch tree on the mountain, not the light and shadow effect, so it is necessary to adjust the composition according to the position and performance effect of the birch tree.

Consider birch for diagonal composition.
