Introduction skills of landscape photography composition

Composition also has a great influence on the overall effect of photos. Let's watch the introduction skills of landscape photography composition with me.

(1) Try both vertical and horizontal shots!

Vertical shooting and horizontal shooting will achieve different effects. Either shooting method is actually acceptable, but the actual situation must be considered. Sometimes you can't try to shoot vertically if you clap a lot of irrelevant things horizontally, and vice versa. Another issue that needs to be considered is the display. For example, if you can print photos or give them to customers for commercial use, you must design blank spaces and corresponding tailoring in advance.

(2) Looking for prospects

The word "foreground" is very important for students who study photography, because beginners often neglect to look for the foreground, which leads to blurred pictures and always seems to miss something. In mountain photography, although not every photo can find a bright future, if possible, please pay attention to whether this "prospect" exists first, which can often show your photos more richly and permanently!

(C) make good use of guidelines

When walking in the mountains, you can find many trails, railings and even the connection between mountains from time to time, which is also the theme of some guiding lines. When using guide lines, remember that you don't have to look for substantive lines. Try to change an angle and this line will appear!

(D) Make good use of contrast

Villains and mountains can also be a good contrast! Photo by Alpine light & structure

There are many methods of contrast composition, such as color, size, distance and so on. You can make more use of this contrast composition method when shooting mountains. Another contrast technology that is very suitable for use in mountainous areas is the "movement" of the sky/sea of clouds and the "quietness" of the ground. Recording the flowing clouds with slow shutter and tripod complements the quiet atmosphere on the ground!

(5) Use the three-point method

Of course, the trisection, or "golden section", is the most commonly used composition technique. How can it be lacking in mountain photography? When you come to a scenic spot, you might as well consider the composition of the triad first, and then find some special angles and scenery to shoot, so that your combination can change a little more!

(6) shoot yourself!

Try taking pictures of yourself!

Sometimes it's boring to take a picture of the scenery. You have worked so hard to climb to the top of the mountain, of course you should take a picture of yourself! Of course, it can also make readers feel "experienced"!
