How to take creative landscape photos

Lead: If you want to do landscape photography, you need to have a creativity besides excellent basic skills! Many friends will reach a certain bottleneck after learning photography for a period of time, and will be trapped by some inherent creative ideas, because they can't find new ideas in photos and are not remembered. At this time, if you do the opposite, you may get more different results.

How to take creative scenery photos 1, the effect of abandoning super wide angle is extraordinary.

In landscape photography, the super wide-angle lens can stretch the environment and buildings wonderfully because of the lens perspective, making the face change more magnificent. Although on the one hand, it can show the grand overall beauty of the big scene, on the other hand, the scenery photos of the big scene will ignore the details, and the wide-angle lens can not highlight the details in the environment well. If you want to get a close-up of the scene and capture delicate details, you need to use a telephoto lens to shoot.

Because of the perspective of lens space, telephoto lens can compress objects in space and weaken the distance relationship between different objects. In the shooting of landscape photos, because of its special lens perspective, entering the scene can make the unremarkable scenery in the space cleaner, the lines more beautiful and highlight the sense of unity.

2, can't be obsessed with ND, HDR effect.

Medium gray density mirror, also called ND filter, can also be called reduction mirror. Its main function is to reduce the intensity of light. Similarly, ND will be divided into many models, including different gears according to the dimming level, and gradient gray mirrors with different transmittance, etc. In the gradual grey mirror, it is the most widely used. In the daytime or high light ratio environment, the sky is often overexposed by the sun, and the gradient clock density mirror plays a great role. But not all scenes are suitable for use. First of all, the gradient gray mirror is only suitable for the sky and the ground, that is, the highlight and the dark part are in the same line. If you are not on the same line, there will be some underexposure, and the photos taken will be very strange.

In the two photos seen above, due to the incorrect use of the gray filter in the gradient, the peaks in the sky are also covered by ND, resulting in some underexposure and strange effects. There are still many things to pay attention to in the correct use of medium gray filter. In this case, the effect of HDR will be more appropriate. Take three different photos of exposure value in three gears, and then use PS to synthesize them later, and the effect will be more appropriate.

3, color is not necessarily the most emotional, black and white is enough.

Most of the landscape photos you see use color effects. Color photos can truly restore the shooting scene, while color photos may not necessarily highlight the center of the picture in some pictures, but in black and white photos, color interference can be reduced and the theme of the picture can be more prominent.

4, the same angle, you can shoot it again.

In the minds of some white people, it is enough to take a beautiful photo in the same environment and from the same angle. However, this is a big gap, which hinders the progress of our photography technology. Life is full of beautiful scenery, even if it is the same angle, the same scenery, the same weather, but it will not take the same photos. On the contrary, different seasons, different weather, the same angle, the same scenery, together, the feeling of the photo will be very interesting, a little change, the photo can get different new ideas.

5. Shooting doesn't have to be sunny.

Lazy photographers are often only willing to go out to shoot when the sun is shining, so we see that their photos are always white and sunny in the south, and they will feel monotonous after watching them for a long time. Just like without sadness, happiness becomes dull, so the ever-changing nature is also a valuable landscape. The photos captured by photographers are not only sunny days, but also lightning, thunder, dark clouds, Mao Mao rain and other weather, which are all good creative weather. In some great photographic works, perhaps because of the lightning trajectory, the probability of forming an effect is only one in ten million, which also makes this one.

abstract

There is no fixed formula for great photos. You can only copy parameters and angles, but never the meaning behind them. To create unique photos, we must first abandon the inherent plagiarism mode and start with small changes and limited photography. Routine? Out of it, if you have been in the routine, you can only master the photos of the routine and never get out of the bottleneck.
