Can a mobile phone take beautiful scenery photos? How to shoot? For "landscape", it is also one of the favorite scenes to be praised and praised, such as beautiful scenery, green mountains and green waters ... At the same time, scenery is also one of the most easily encountered shooting themes in life and travel. So, can mobile phones also take beautiful scenery photos? The answer is of course yes, but how to shoot it?

▲ Beautiful scenery

The most basic things are light and shadow, composition and color. I've talked too much about this before, so I won't go into details here. So, besides, what other good ideas and shooting skills are there?

1, clouds add hazy artistic conception

Mountains and clouds always accompany each other, and clouds can cover up the chaotic background, highlight the subject and improve the expressive force of photos. At the same time, it also gives people the feeling of fairyland, which can add poetic and hazy artistic conception to the photos.

▲ Some details of the landscape are blocked, forming a contrast between reality and reality, adding a sense of quietness and mystery to the picture.

In the use of light, we can consider more side light and backlight, which can better show the perspective and layering of the picture, and the light and shadow effect in the picture can present a more ethereal artistic conception. When shooting against the light, you can use the silhouette and fog of the mountain to form the contrast between reality and light, showing the beauty of the outline of the mountain scenery.

▲ Under the backlight, the silhouette is used as a foil to make the fog in the distance more ethereal and mysterious.

2. Use "magic time" to shoot beautiful light shadows.

People always want to shoot in sunny days, but the weather is changeable. The use of dramatic "magic" weather can add color to photos and convey emotional appeals.

Sunrise and sunset

At sunrise and sunset, the light angle of the sun is low, the light quality is soft and warm, and the whole picture is full of attractive charm. At the same time, at sunrise and sunset, the light changes rapidly and is fleeting.

▲ The light in the sunset is soft and golden, and the color of the reflection on the water surface adds a lot of color to the picture.

② starry sky

On a dreamlike night, the Milky Way is full of stars. For photographers, this gorgeous phantom of the Milky Way has indescribable magic.

▲ The water surface reflects the stars all over the sky, echoing each other from afar, which is wonderful.

In short, for photographers, clouds, sunshine, rain, snow and fog, storms, rainbows and so on. Different "magic time" has different shooting methods, and each weather has its own unique charm.

3. Aesthetic effect of slow door on water surface

Since the shooting of water is mentioned, we must not forget to shoot the running water slowly, which can turn the running water into a long stream and create a lingering artistic conception. Whether it is Huawei's "streamer shutter", the professional mode of other mobile phones, or even the third-party mobile phone APP, this aesthetic effect can be shot.

▲ Use the slow door to shoot the flowing water, creating a quiet poetry of falling leaves.

I've talked too much about slow water, but I still want to remind you that it is not infinite to fill the picture with vague and gorgeous beauty, but to set it off through comparison. Consciously select a small number of still scenes to set off the virtual shadow, so as to achieve the purpose of virtual reality. In the principle of composition, redundant elements unrelated to the main content of the picture are also eliminated as far as possible, and the scenery with the highest "face value" and obvious characteristics is selected as a foil.

▲ Use the still mountain as a perspective to increase the layering and spatial sense of the picture, and at the same time, the dynamic and static contrast highlights the water flu.

4. Use reflection to express the beauty of the picture.

Reflection and introspection are the subjects that many people are keen to shoot. How can you forget the existence of reflection by patting water? The reflection of water can not only balance the composition, but also make the picture more impactful.

▲ The reflection on the water makes the picture more colorful and abstract.

It should be noted that you don't have to have a large water surface to get a good reflection. As long as the shooting angle is right, even a pool of water can map out the whole picture. Please refer to how to use the accumulated water after rain to shoot the reflection. 6 shooting skills and ideas, shooting multiple patterns.

5, black and white picturesque scenery

With its concise and distinctive style, photo photography shows the beauty of humanity and nature, and embodies the charm and Zen of China's painting style. You can use the mobile App to process it into black and white and monochrome, and then add appropriate materials as decorations, such as birds, boats, flowers, people, seals and so on. , so that the photos have a freehand brushwork, detached from reality, elegant and ethereal pen and ink style.

The change of light and shade of mountains, the blank of mist, the black and white treatment in the later period, and the addition of words and seals make the whole work quite Chinese painting.

It should be noted that although this style of photos will inevitably go through post-processing, it will test the photographer's cultural precipitation and his ability to compose and capture light and shadow. You can refer to the above picturesque ink photography skills to shoot Zen-like ink China!

The above are some creative skills shared by individuals to shoot scenery with mobile phones. Of course, there are many skills worth exploring together. Finally, I want to say that maybe the mobile phone can't shake the position of the SLR camera in my heart, but I have to say that at least it has become a part of my photographic equipment, and the mobile phone can also be competent for shooting most subjects.
