How to make your own scenery move with life?

Lead: In the aesthetic tradition of China people, figures have always been an indispensable part of landscape painting. In China landscape painting since the Tang and Song Dynasties, natural landscapes such as mountains, forests, clouds and water are the main parts of the picture, accounting for most of the proportion of the picture. The characters in the scene are often just interspersed among them, with small shapes, but they play a vital role. Small people often become the focus and emphasis of the picture, covering the author's feelings, sustenance, real life and social needs and other factors. From the aesthetic point of view, the effects of the characters in the scene are varied. It not only helps to fully depict the image of natural beauty, but also helps to manage the position of landscape composition beauty, and also helps to express the theme of people in the natural field and the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Make the picture more artistic and ethereal.

How to make your own landscape photos vivid because of people? In landscape photography, people's appearances often have the same meaning. The traces of people's activities in the landscape often become the center of the picture, and also entrust the photographer's views, emotions and value orientation. This paper will focus on the skills and methods of shooting people in the landscape.

People should be the visual center of gravity of the picture.

When shooting, we should first consider the position of the characters, so that the scenery can be the presentation of the artistic conception of the picture and the inner world of the characters. It reflects the photographer's understanding of life, the praise and criticism of society and the singing of nature, as if a vivid long drama reflecting social life and emotional thinking was staged in the background. Therefore, when framing and composition, we should try our best to create a sense of stage, so that the picture has a dramatic tendency, which can be thought-provoking and exquisite.

The proportion of characters in landscape photography

Although the figure is the center of the picture, the subject should not be too big, otherwise it will become an environmental portrait. We mainly express our understanding and attitude towards the scenery. Therefore, the arrangement of characters should be as small as possible, which will often be regarded as a silhouette effect, and the appearance and expression of characters will often be ignored, which will give viewers a sense of substitution, such as? People travel in the world of painting? The artistic effect of.

Tiny characters need to stand out to become the main characters in the picture, so try to avoid complicated scenes around them. For example, the background around dark characters should be as light and simple as possible, highlighting the shape and dynamics of the characters. On the contrary, the background around light-colored characters is as dark as possible, which is the same.

The decisive moment of the characters in the landscape

Although the subject of shooting is the landscape, because we highlight the role of characters in the landscape, the behavior, actions and emotions of characters often affect the expression of the picture atmosphere. In shooting, people often move and change constantly. We can often choose a scene, wait patiently, and press the shutter in time when the characters have proper movements and positions, which is also a common shooting technique in documentary photography.

Sometimes people have wonderful moments. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the composition quickly and accurately, which requires us to always pay attention to the changes of the scene, concentrate on it, and often never die, and find the most suitable time in the changing scene.

When encountering a good scene, you can also let your partner improvise the role of the people in the play to achieve the effect of perfect control. This is also a shooting method and the most commonly used expression of conceptual photography.

Composition and drawing of one's landscape

When shooting a landscape with characters, the composition of the scene should be arranged around the characters, so as to make the viewer's eyes focus on the characters as much as possible and play a role in comparison and rendering. Therefore, broad vision, repetitive details or rhythmic curve composition are often easier to express the emotions and feelings of characters and make the picture attractive.

In terms of frame, we might as well break through the traditional 3: 2 pattern of 135 frame and adopt wide frame, square frame, round frame or fan frame to make the picture fresh and more China-like, which is also a good attempt to break through the traditional landscape photography.

The difference between landscape photography and landscape photography

Landscape photography is the favorite subject of photographers in China. It is said that there are tens of millions of couples, the most in the world. However, looking at the global photography field of vision, there is no such thing as landscape photography, only the concept of landscape photography. Landscape photography often pays more attention to the traces of human activities in the natural environment, the relationship between man and nature reflected behind the landscape, the influence and activities of human beings on the natural environment, and the social changes, environmental changes and political and economic realities reflected from it.

Many people in China who like to shoot scenery often fall into the trap of pure photography's light and shadow effect and perfect composition. The shooting range is narrow and the shooting scenery is beautiful, but it is often a thousand people, and the artistic conception and photography language are similar, so it is difficult to show a distinctive personality and leave a deep impression on people. Maybe we should change our ideas, absorb the advantages and advantages of foreign landscape photography, and then trace back to the traditional scenery of China. Foreign teacher nature? And then what? Get the heart source in? The artistic pursuit of the unity of things and me may create a unique and intriguing new China landscape photography.

The above picture was taken on a tourist bus from Changchun to Changbai Mountain. Shooting the scenery passing by quickly through the window adds a lot of fun to long-distance travel.

When taking photos in the car, if the light permits, I usually set the shutter priority and manually focus on hyperfocal distance, which is about 8 meters. If the light is stable, I will even manually set the combination of aperture and shutter with M gear to ensure that the speeding scene has enough clarity. At the same time, manual focusing and setting M file can save the steps of metering and focusing, so as to focus on capturing moments and composition.

When shooting in the car, it is not easy to get beautiful images. It takes repeated practice to achieve subconscious shooting with fingers faster than the brain. For the flying scenery, before my brain can react, my finger presses the shutter, which often brings many unexpected surprises, which is also one of the greatest pleasures in my journey.

The above picture was taken in my hometown in winter, and I found that the railing of a vegetable field in the field was very beautiful. Just as a little girl in the country was busy picking vegetables, she squatted down and waited patiently with her composition until the little girl had the right posture, movements and emotions, and gently pressed the shutter.

Photography is subjective only because it is often chosen by the photographer at the moment when the shutter is opened and closed, and the photo becomes a piece of time, reflecting the objective reality, but with a strong subjective feeling of the photographer.

Taken in Hengyang, Hunan, an abandoned railway.

I have always had a soft spot for third-tier cities in the mainland. These cities are quiet and nostalgic. Because of the slow economic development, there are often endless traces of time passing in cities, and people's lives are very different from those of advanced and developed big cities.

The railway is covered with lush grass, which extends to the empty distance. Next to the old residential building built in the 1960s and 1970s, a silent middle-aged man walked slowly along the railway to towards the distant, just like most people's lives.

There is no special shooting skill in this photo, and the anti-composition that deliberately puts the characters in the middle of the picture is to highlight the hidden emotions behind the characters. Knowing how to control the atmosphere and artistic conception of the picture, sometimes you don't need too much lighting and composition skills, but you can also make the photo look impressive and touching.

In the first month of 2009, I grew up at the seaside in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and I am very familiar with it. On this beach, I have my happiness, sadness, hope, confusion and sadness. Although the person in the photo is not me, I seem to be taking a picture of myself.

As for the quality of photos, I only have one standard. I can move photos of myself and others.

Taken at the bank of Xiangjiang River in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province, Xiangjiang River is a mysterious river, especially on a quiet cloudy day. Like most cities in China, it is developing in a pioneering way. There is a slightly mysterious woman staring blankly by the river, which makes the scene a little suspense, as if it were a brief conversation between the past and the future.

I like this photo because there is a scene of modern architecture in the landscape, and the atmosphere of this scene can be contrasted with the characters without being messy. Secondly, I find more and more that if a photo is too clear, too clear and beautiful, it will often be boring. It is often more interesting to create some suspense in the photos and let the audience add their own answers.
