How to compose a landscape photo?

Landscape photos are the most diverse in photography, because there are many subjects in landscape photos. As long as you think it or one side of it is beautiful and worth recording and expressing with a camera, these landscapes will become the subject of photography. Different scenery materials have different characteristics, and different scenery materials need different composition methods to express their different visual aesthetics.

I. Sunrise and sunset

Sunrise or sunset photography should take the sun as the core part of composition. Then according to the light characteristics of this moment, shoot the sun and the surrounding scenery at this time. Because the color temperature of sunrise and sunset light is relatively small, the color of the scenery under this light is warm orange-red, which is favored by photographers. When taking photos of sunrise and sunset, except for close-ups, generally don't arrange the sun in the center of the picture, because arranging it in the middle of the picture will be expressionless and the picture will be unsightly.

Sunset is the best time for photography. The setting sun gradually sets, covering the earth with red clothes and enriching the clouds. )

Second, waterfalls and streams

The harmonious and charming valleys and spectacular waterfalls make people linger, and these beautiful scenery are very good photographic materials. Famous waterfalls or valleys are very good places to take pictures, but these scenes are something we have known for a long time and are often taken by many photographers. So no matter how we shoot, we will lose our charm and virtually imitate the composition style of other photographers. If you want to make photos more attractive, you will form your own unique photography style. However, all photographic works have their basic nature, and only on this basis can we innovate.

(The harmonious combination of the river and the background constitutes the content of the picture, and then the low horizon is used to compose the picture. The whole picture is harmonious and natural, full of beauty. )

Third, mountains and sea of clouds.

In photographic composition, it is best to take the trajectory of fog or clouds and trees as the main line of the picture. When the sun is low, it can highlight the three-dimensional effect of rocks and trees. Therefore, most of the beautiful mountain scenery photos we appreciate are taken in the morning glow when the sun rises or the sunset glow when the sun sets. Photographic composition basically uses oblique lines or broken lines.

This photo was taken from an angle close to the mountain. Against the background of clouds, the mountain peaks are very expressive. )

Fourth, trees

Simply taking a photo of Zhang Shu is not expressive. If the blue sky, forest paths, pavilions and other scenery layout is reasonable, trees can be given vitality. When shooting trees, you don't need to show the whole part from root to branch on the screen, but choose the most beautiful and distinctive part. For example, when you shoot a tree with distinctive bark, you should emphasize the texture of its bark.

The contrast between cold and warm colors is formed by the blue sky and orange leaves, which highlights the characteristics of trees and greatly increases the expressive force of the picture. )

Verb (abbreviation of verb) sea

When shooting seascapes, sometimes we choose a location where we can enjoy the most beautiful scenery, but the extra background around us affects the framing. At this time, many people will give up the scenery from this angle and find a position where unnecessary background objects can be eliminated. Although some of them are eclipsed, they will directly shoot close-ups of the main scene regardless of the boring feeling expressed in the picture. In fact, we can make full use of these redundant background objects and make them an inseparable part of the picture.

The waves on the sea are also a beautiful scenery on the sea. )

Six, grassland

Because there are few other scenery on the grassland, it is necessary to take advantage of its own characteristics to take such photos. The core of grassland photos is line, surface and color. Using composition and framing, lines and colors can show the most beautiful side and fully express the main connotation.

(It's the sunset in the picture. The sunset dyed the sky and horses red, which strongly showed the beauty of the grassland. )
