The scenery under Jay Chou's lens is very similar to Monet's paintings. How to take photos with the same style?

It is difficult to take a watercolor-like photo in the early stage, so it must be processed in the later stage. First, master the characteristics of watercolor painting: oil painting is one of the primary schools of western painting, with rich colors, clear interface, clear organization and strong sense of hierarchy. Post-processing should also be considered when taking photos in the early stage. According to previous work experience, the infinite scenery photos taken with slow doors can be easily converted into watercolor photos. It is best to shoot in the evening or rainy day, because the light source in the evening is mild and the colors are bright and colorful.

In rainy days, the light source is symmetrical, which can show the color of the interface itself, which is consistent with the richness and thickness of watercolor colors and the meticulous interface. Taking pictures in cloudy climate is very easy to show the characteristics of watercolor painting in the sky, especially when there are obviously moving clouds, the photos taken are more impactful and easy to show a large area. As shown below, 1-6 presents a visual impact of watercolor in the sky. When taking pictures at night, the light ratio between the sky and the road is large. Taking photos with photometry and applying gradient lens can narrow the light source gap between the sky and the road.

I think the most important thing is to control the color if you want to take a picture of the actual effect of watercolor painting. Color is indispensable for mainly expressing the theme style of watercolor painting, poetic 3D rendering and conveying feelings. It is an artistic language with great visual effect, compressive strength and appeal. Strong colors can make people more intuitively infected and bring them into the world of watercolor painting. When shooting watercolors, the shooting method is also very important. The picture shows an impressionist oil painting I took in He Shan Wetland Park in Benxi, Liaoning Province. The person who knocked down my dye tray used multiple exposure addition and subtraction.

Three exposures, of course, combine the clouds in the sky with the red, orange and green trees in the mountains and rivers, which can accumulate colors well, make the interface more layered, have the actual effect of watercolor painting and have the deterrent effect of visual effects. In fact, photography is the whole process of integration of concept and operation. When taking watercolor photos, photographers must appreciate and analyze the famous oil paintings from ancient times to the present, gain insights and feelings from them, improve their artistic accomplishment and enrich their photography skills.
