Why don't you get an erection?

Normal shooting, 90% is horizontal composition. Especially in landscape photography, horizontal composition is used more. If you try to compose vertically, it may have more visual impact.

Vertical composition is becoming more and more popular.

Why do few people compose music vertically?

Usually everyone is used to horizontal composition, because the design of the camera is a banner, which is a habit.

But now the vertical composition is more and more popular, because the mobile phone is vertical screen, you can try the charm of vertical composition.

Many people will use horizontal composition in panoramic photos, and vertical composition is very popular. The influence of vertical composition seems to be stronger.

Now we are all used to browsing on mobile phones. Mobile phones are more suitable for reading still photos with vertical screens. If you want to choose a screen saver, you will also choose a portrait photo.

I am obsessed with vertical composition because of its unique artistic conception. This observation method from near to far, from far to near, is gradual, and it is easy to highlight the center.

So what are the applications of vertical composition in photography? How to highlight the visual tension and artistic beauty of vertical composition?

First, line composition

There are many kinds of lines, horizontal and vertical (including regular and irregular. )

1, vertical line: When the lines in the picture are mainly vertical lines, vertical lines are used for composition. There are many vertical compositions in Master He Pan's works.

It is difficult for a single line to highlight the main body. At this time, the vertical composition can highlight the vertical tension.

2, horizontal line: you can use telephoto to compress the picture, it looks more rhythmic, so that the picture forms an extension effect from near to far.

Many times, we will use horizontal composition when shooting car tracks. If we use vertical composition, we can fill the picture with light traces.

Second, point the composition

Still life photography will be monotonous if there are no interesting points. With this interesting point, the vertical space can be expanded and people can imagine.

1, highlight size contrast: the selected point should be small enough, or find something that can be compared with the main body to highlight the depth effect through size contrast.

2, increase the sense of hierarchy: point composition should also pay attention to levels, with birds as the center, and the picture is divided into three levels from near to far, close shot, middle shot and long shot.

3, light and shadow decoration: the picture should not only have vertical lines, but also have light and shadow decoration. With the help of the narrow light formed by the occlusion of mountains and clouds, the foothold is concentrated in one place.

4. Deepen emotion: If you can find an interesting point that echoes the environment, such a work will make people feel more.

Third, leave blank.

Blank space comes from Chinese painting, and the ancients also made good use of vertical composition in painting, using blank space to express simple pictures and highlight artistic conception. The Wolf clan wrote an article "Learning from Chinese Painting and the Significance of Blank Space in Photography" before, explaining that blank space should not only leave room for imagination, but also leave room for imagination, so blank space is also very particular.

1, blur the background and leave blank: even if a leaf is simply left blank, it has a beautiful artistic conception. To shoot such a picture, you only need to enlarge the aperture, lengthen the focal length and increase the shutter speed.

2. Change the composition and leave blank: With the help of frame composition and leave blank, the picture is another feeling.

3. If there is fog, there is blank space: autumn and winter are good seasons for shooting fog, and fog is the best way to show blank space.

4. Leave white space and black space: We can also call it leaving black space. Choosing a dark background can highlight the main body.

A dark background requires light to illuminate the subject, thus darkening the background.

Fourth, the shooting techniques of scenic blockbusters

Nowadays, people like to use foreground composition to shoot scenery. In order to highlight the foreground and show the wide-angle impact, many later methods will be used, such as panoramic stitching, depth of field synthesis and focal length synthesis. These techniques are not only used in horizontal composition, but also widely used in vertical composition.

Wide-angle composition often adopts vertical composition, exaggerating the foreground and making the picture richer.

The same is true for shooting the stars. Choosing stones or flowers as the foreground is also the key to vertical composition. Book a plane, shoot the scenery in the moonlight, and shoot the starry sky after the moon sets.

In order to take a clear picture from far and near, it is necessary to set the plane, change the focus, take multiple pictures from near to far, and then synthesize them later.

Because the foreground of wide-angle composition will be exaggerated and the distance will be shortened, it is necessary to change the focal length to shoot close-range and distant view respectively, and then highlight the whole picture through post-synthesis.

Of course, there are many shooting techniques of wide-angle and vertical composition, which should be judged according to the geographical environment. When the foreground of the picture is prominent and the lines are suitable, the vertical composition is more suitable.
