What are the composition skills of using fisheye lens photography?

There are many photographic techniques in China's composition methods, but they are all developed according to six basic composition rules, namely, the golden section rule, the triangle rule, the diagonal rule, the top blank rule, the motion blank rule and the balance and stability rule, which all exist objectively. Only by making full use of these six basic principles of photographic composition can ordinary photographers complete a photographic work more easily.

First, the golden section method

The so-called "golden rule" is to use the word "well" generated by straight lines on both sides of the photographic composition as the basis for dividing the picture. The positions of these four dividing lines should not only be used as ideal positions for placing objects in photos, but also their four intersections should be used as the visual focus of the whole picture to complete the structure of "interest center". In this way, the pictures of realistic photography works, especially landscape works, not only have no dull feeling, but also can improve the vitality of the pictures by "static braking"; On the other hand, if the subject or even the subject is placed in the central area of the picture to complete the visual image according to the habits of most people, the proportion of picture composition will not be so appropriate and beautiful.

Second, the triangle rule.

"Triangle rule", that is, three-point composition method. Three points are not connected on a line to form a plane. In photographic works, the existence of plane is necessary.

Generally speaking, in natural scenery photography and portrait photography, it is easy to find two points that exist horizontally and vertically. It is difficult to find a third point that corresponds to it or even does not exist at all. This requires the photographer to leave the subject to find or artificially create a third point. Otherwise, the picture composition will lose its sense of plane, and it is impossible to complete the meaning fusion between words. In a realistic photographic work, the triangle plane is composed of many * * * lives, which are intertwined. There is a sense of both lateral and depth of field; There are bright colors, colorful ones and so on.

Third, the diagonal rule

Due to the objective existence of the golden section law, there are naturally two diagonal lines crossing each other between the four intersections generated by the straight lines bisected on both sides of the picture. Therefore, it is particularly important to make good use of two diagonal lines to reflect the photographer's intention of picture construction and then complete the construction of semantic artistic conception.

Fourth, the rule of blank space in the sky.

After the rational layout of the subject and its surrounding scenery is completed, it is necessary to leave a "blank" above or below the horizontal "golden section" line of the picture to arrange a picture space with no specific image, such as the sky or the earth. The use of screen blank can not only contrast and highlight the existence of the subject, but also create the visual movement and spiritual drive of the screen, and also complete the depiction of artistic conception and the rendering of atmosphere.

Five, the law of motion blank

Proper use of sports blank means reasonable arrangement of sight distance. Not only can the photographer have enough time and grasp to accurately shoot the instantaneous still picture with dynamic objects, but also can let the static objects enter the subconscious level of people, thus generating dynamic thinking. On the other hand, in a realistic photographic work, if there is not enough space in front of moving objects and line of sight, it will not only hinder people's line of sight, but also weaken the dynamic potential of the picture.

Six, the method of equilibrium and stability

In a sense, photographic composition is the composition of camera lens. It is an effective symbol generation system and visual editing combination method that uses the imaging characteristics of camera lens and photographic modeling means to form a certain picture and show the cultural and aesthetic implications of the outside world. Especially in the photographic works that conform to the traditional aesthetic habits of the Chinese nation, a balanced and stable image is very necessary. This is because the balance and stability of the picture and even the tone can not only give people a sense of security and tranquility, but also give people a sense of fighting and symmetrical structure.

Twenty composition methods derived from six basic developments and their applicable scenarios;

1. composition balance: it gives people a sense of satisfaction, the picture structure is perfect, the arrangement is clever, and it is balanced. It is often used for moonlit nights, water, night scenes, news and other topics.

2. Symmetrical composition: it has the characteristics of balance, stability and relativity. Disadvantages: dull, lack of change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

3. Changing the composition: deliberately arranging the scenery in a corner or side can give people thinking and imagination, leaving room for further judgment. Full of charm and interest. Often used in small landscapes, sports, artistic photography, humorous photos, etc.

4. Diagonal composition: arranging the subject on the diagonal can effectively use the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time, it can also make the companion have a direct relationship with the subject. Dynamic and lively, it is easy to produce the convergence trend of lines, attract people's attention, and achieve the effect of highlighting the subject (such as spotlight illuminating the subject).

5. Cross-line composition: the scene is in the form of diagonal cross layout, and the intersection of the scene can be inside or outside the picture. The former is similar to cross composition, and the latter is similar to diagonal composition, which can make full use of screen space and lead the line of sight to the center of the cross or to the outside of the screen. It is lively, relaxed and implicit.

6. Elliptical composition: it can form a strong sense of wholeness and produce visual effects such as rotation, movement and contraction. It is often used to express that it does not need special emphasis, but focuses on the picture content of the scene or the main body of the rendering atmosphere.

7.X-shaped composition: the lines and tones are arranged in an X-shape, which has a strong sense of perspective and is conducive to guiding people's line of sight from the periphery to the center, or the scenery has the characteristics of gradually enlarging from the center to the periphery. Often used in architecture, bridges, highways, fields and other themes.

8. Fractional composition: Divide the picture left or right or up and down into two, forming a left or right echo or up and down echo, with a relatively broad performance space. Among them, half of the picture is the subject and the other half is the partner. Often used to express people, sports, animals, architecture and other themes.

9. Sketch composition: A composition method to turn a small scene that is not surprising into a humorous picture full of interest and profound meaning through close-ups and other means. It is characterized by free imagination and eclecticism. There are no certain rules in this composition.

10. Compact composition: enlarge the main body of the scene in the form of close-up, so that part of it is covered by the picture, compact, delicate and microscopic. Often used for portraits, micrographs or showing local details. Depicting a character's face vividly and unforgettable.

1 1. Jiugongge composition: put the subject or important scenery at the intersection of Jiugongge. The four intersections of the word "well" are the best positions of the main body. Generally speaking, the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it is not static. This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, with the characteristics of highlighting the subject and making the picture tend to be balanced.

12. horizontal line composition: it has the characteristics of calmness, tranquility, comfort and stability. It is often used to express calm lake surface, rippling lake water, endless plain, vast and flat Yuan Ye, endless grassland in Liao country, etc.

13. Vertical composition: It can fully show the height and depth of the scene. It is often used to show pictures composed of vertical lines such as towering trees, steep rocks, waterfalls and skyscrapers.

14. Diagonal composition: it can be divided into vertical oblique vertical lines and horizontal oblique horizontal lines. Sports, maneuvers, inclinations, bumps, imbalances, tensions, dangers, thousands of miles away and other scenes are often shown. Some pictures use diagonal lines to point out specific objects and play a fixed guiding role.

15. Triangle composition: Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the positions of the scene are arranged by the geometry of three points in a plane to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible.

16. Cross-shaped composition: the composition, tone or color changes of the scene on the screen all appear in an orthogonal cross. This composition can leave more space, so it can accommodate more backgrounds and foil bodies, so that the viewer's eyes can naturally focus on the cross. It is mostly used to arrange and combine stable objects, or to shoot regular moving objects.

17.S-shaped composition: the scenery on the screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and have a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling. When it is necessary to express the subject in the form of curve, we should first think of S-shaped composition. Commonly used in rivers, streams, winding paths, paths, etc.

18.L-shaped composition: surround and frame the main body that needs to be emphasized with lines or color blocks similar to L-shaped, so as to highlight the theme. L-shape is like a half-enclosure, which can be a straight L-shape or an inverted L-shape. It can focus people's attention on the enclosure, make the subject stand out and make the theme clear. Often used in pictures with certain rules and lines.

19. Centripetal composition: The main body is in the center, and the surrounding scenery is in the form of a composition that focuses on the center, which can strongly lead people's eyes to the center of the main body and play a role in gathering. It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it will also produce the feeling of oppression and embarrassment.

20. Radial composition: The composition with the subject as the core and the scenery spreading around can focus people's attention on the subject, and then have the function of opening, stretching and spreading. It is often used in situations where the subject needs to be prominent and the scene is complex, and it is also used to make people or scenery produce special effects in complex situations.
