How to make your landscape photos more attractive?

Lead: Regarding landscape photos, I always think that the most basic thing is to have enough aesthetic feeling or visual impact. Of course, it would be even more gratifying if personal feelings could be incorporated into the landscape photos. The following are just some of my humble opinions. Welcome to criticize and correct me.

I. Special weather

Weather is very important in landscape photography. If you can meet special weather that others can't, then you are lucky, and your film is undoubtedly unique to others. All along, many people have an idea: this place is ruined. Is it interesting to shoot again? Personally, I don't quite agree with this view, because a place, different weather and different time periods have ever-changing changes and cannot be copied.

Venue: Xiapu Beibei

Xiapu is indeed a ruined place, but why do so many people go? Because Xiapu has unparalleled charm, Xiapu will have different beauty in different seasons and at different times, and Beibei is one of the most famous photographic attractions in Xiapu.

The film was shot after the typhoon. Just after the typhoon, the clouds in the sky are very special. Because the typhoon blew down many laver shelves, fishermen got off the boat early to sort out these shelves. Under the depressed clouds, the lights on the ship adorn it, creating a very interesting movie. I think this film is very attractive because of its special weather.

Second, special colors.

Bright and rich colors always attract others' attention at first sight, and color is a very important element in landscape photos, which can determine the success or failure of your photos. Color contrast, color collision, the meaning expressed by color and so on, the use of color in landscape photos is one of the most widely used means. Personally, I feel that being good at expressing my ideas with colors is the quality that every excellent photographer should have.

Venue: Xiapu Beibei

At dawn, the rising sun shed a touch of golden light on the beach. Coupled with the rich blue and the touch of golden light, the collision of colors can always attract the attention of others. Two fishermen work at sunrise and stroll on the beautiful beach, which makes people feel the hard work of the working people, but in such beautiful colors, it also reflects a sense of beauty of labor. This is Xiapu, the most beautiful beach in China, with not only beautiful scenery, but also respectable and lovely locals.

Third, special light.

Light, like a brush in a painter's hand, plays a vital role in photography. When you can meet special light, it will make your photos more charming and outstanding.

Venue: Yangjiaxi, Xiapu

People who go to Xiapu usually go to this place. There are too many such photos, but this kind of light is very charming. This light can be interpreted as the' Cadal effect'? Is that what photographers call it? The light of Jesus? . If we really want to say that this photo is different from similar photos, it is that the light has been completely distributed and the light at the top of the tree has come out, so it still has advantages over similar photos.

Location: East Wall of Xiapu

This photo was taken after the rain, and the magic of nature was revealed at this moment. This kind of light is usually hard to meet, pure luck. If you encounter it, be sure to record it. Also, in the process of shooting scenery, we should walk ahead of the difficulties, instead of staying indoors when it rains. Sometimes charming light and color are more likely to appear after rain, and the transparency after rain is particularly good.

Fourth, gorgeous rosy clouds.

Cai Xia is also one of the most commonly used protagonists in landscape photography. Gorgeous Cai Xia will make your photos full of charm and great appreciation. Of course, gorgeous rosy clouds are hard to come by. In order to shoot these gorgeous rosy clouds, we have to leave early and return late. The change of light before sunrise and after sunset creates the ever-changing rosy clouds. If you meet it, the beauty of Cai Xia will be displayed before your eyes, and you will be fascinated by it.

Venue: Xiapu Beidou

The two films were shot in the same place and on the same plane. It's only five minutes apart. From the beginning of Xiapu to the end of the sky, in these few minutes, the beauty of Beidou appeared in front of us little by little, from the shyness at the beginning to the unrestrained at the end, which fully showed the charm of landscape photography. What we have to do is to record it.

Five, wonderful lines

Lines, especially those of nature, are always so beautiful and impressive. In the process of shooting, we should be good at finding and capturing such lines, because beautiful lines are easy to give people a sense of extension and rhythm.

Venue: Xiapu Xiaohao

Every day, the tide rises and falls, causing Xiao Hao to have different lines every day. Similarly, daily tidal changes also cause different waves. Xiao Hao, every day and every season is changing. Similarly, it is one of the most famous photographic attractions in Xiapu. Waves of waves form wonderful lines. Xia Guang reflects charming colors on the waves, and several fishermen walk on the waves, which makes this picture full of vitality. This is Xiapu.

Venue: Qidu, Ningde

With the ebb and flow of the tide, the lines of Qidu are changing all the time, sometimes faintly, sometimes buried, and sometimes exposed. A boat is walking between rows, and two egrets are foraging in the distance. The harmony among people, animals and nature is evident at this moment. Qidu, also known as Ningde Oracle Bone Inscriptions. But now it has been gradually destroyed, because the reclamation project has been going on. I wonder if it can be preserved tomorrow.

Sixth, dynamic and static comparison.

The combination of static and dynamic will make people feel a kind of dynamic beauty in the vision of the picture, and there are many ways to realize the contrast between static and dynamic. For example, the technique of chasing focus, such as the slow door technique, and the later technique, etc. , can form a contrast between dynamic and static.

Venue: Hamaba

At that time, it was cloudy when this photo was taken. It was done by slow door shooting, and then the light ratio was balanced up and down with black cards. Let the clouds in the sky form a dynamic contrast with the ground.

There is another one with the same technique and position, as shown below:

Venue: Hamaba

The above points are just some of my personal views and summaries. Of course, there are still many things we have to do and learn. The above points do not mean that they are correct and not comprehensive enough. Your criticism and communication are welcome.

Write it at the end

In scenery shooting, technology is very important, but thinking is also more important. How to bring your own creativity when shooting is the most important lesson.

Recently, I often chat with some friends who shoot scenery. They are all talking about a problem: lack of emotion is a serious injury in landscape shooting.

Yes, I've been doing it, tried it, and failed to do it well. At the same time, it takes a lot of time and energy to shoot the scenery, and it also needs proper luck. Persistence may not be rewarded, but it will never be rewarded if you don't persist. I firmly believe that as long as I firmly believe that every time I break through myself a little, I will eventually break through my shackles.

All the above photos were taken by me recently, especially Xiapu. Every time I go, I am doing one thing, that is, taking something different from last time. It is very painful to reflect on denying myself again and again and rebuild my faith again and again, but I enjoy this process very much. Maybe that's why I love photography.
