Photography skills of taking good pictures of natural scenery

There is no denying that landscape photography is one of the most popular subjects for beginners or veterans. The following are the photography skills I have compiled to take good pictures of natural scenery, hoping to help you!

Looking for a framework in nature

Frame well composition is a common composition method, which refers to framing the subject in the picture with a suitable foreground. This way of composition can oppress and guide the viewer's vision, and make the main effect in the picture more prominent. In landscape photography, the framed composition tests the photographer's eyesight very much. If the messy natural elements want to form a picture frame, they must rely on the reasonable relationship between framing and perspective. Some elements that seem impossible to be framed wells (such as messy branches and leaves in nature) can be used as tools for framing wells after proper selection. Special attention should be paid to exposure skills when shooting with frame well composition, because the color and lighting conditions of the subject inside and outside the frame well may be completely different, and the main body of the picture should be used as the basis for photometry.

Selective use of mirror image composition

Mirror image composition is a unique composition method of natural scenery photography. The premise of using this composition method is that there must be a usable "mirror" in the shooting scene. Among many landscape elements, only the calm water surface has this special function, so mirror image composition has also appeared on the quiet lake.

Mirror composition can copy a shooting element that is exactly the same as the shooting subject in the picture. However, this kind of composition is often dull and rigid. In order to make the picture more varied and impactful, in addition to the horizontally divided mirror composition, we can also try to create composition changes by combining the elements of the picture with light and shade, selectively selecting the mirror part, or expressing the reflection in the water mirror image alone.

Creative observation, capture the rhythm of beauty

In photography, photographers observe the world in many ways. The more creative thinking, the more need to refine, in order to find the subject matter and scenery with shooting value. Sometimes, when we observe some scenery, we will be vaguely inspired, but we feel too inconspicuous to take excellent photos. At this time, don't let go of this fleeting idea. In life, the smallest discovery can also create a magical picture. If the expressive force of the observed subject is insufficient, the photographer will constantly try new perspectives by changing the shooting location, shooting angle and lens focal length, and will eventually gain something.

Changing the field of vision-the strange perspective of special lens

In photography creation, the photographer's observation can not be limited to the excavation of scenery and shooting objects, but also make full use of the performance effect of the lens. Practicing observing the scenery from the lens and being familiar with the lens in your hand can help photographers find a new angle in observation and use the wonderful effects of different lenses to express the scenery.

Fisheye lens is a special kind of lens, which has the function of changing the field of vision. The special optical structure of the fisheye lens can make the edge of the subject produce exaggerated distortion, while the central area is basically not deformed, and the whole picture has great visual impact.
