How to take landscape photos with a mobile phone?

Catch the fleeting light

The use of light is very important in landscape photography. Once a landscape photographer described the importance of light to landscape photography and said: Sometimes I will spend my whole life waiting for those short seconds. . As the saying goes, opportunities always favor those who are prepared. The so-called preparation, in my opinion, is to know what you are waiting for and have a blueprint in mind; The second is to have technical support. For people skilled in photography, when shooting special light, they will not be in a hurry, thus leaving less regrets. Some friends like to take different cameras out to shoot, and when shooting, they find that the film sensitivity in each camera is different, which is very hectic. My experience is to use a camera so that I won't be distracted when shooting. I can expose, compose, and press the shutter, and I can shoot an image that blends with my emotions in one go.

Xiaojing Qing Ji

Small scenes are more details in the big scene. ? Details determine success or failure? It is also suitable for use here. Small scenes need to be summarized by the author and extracted from the big scene. In my opinion, it is often more difficult to shoot small scenes than big ones. Because this requires photographers to constantly sum up their experience, especially in a short time, it is not easy to choose a part from the complicated scenery to express their feelings. Xiaojing needs to be very precise in both lighting and composition. The relationship of depth of field is also an important expression in photographic language, which can well express the depth relationship before and after the scene. The prospect of reality is not an immutable law. If the prospect is illusory, you need to pay attention to whether it will interfere with the performance of the theme.

Virtual-real relationship

The contrast between reality and reality is a common shooting technique in landscape photography, which can be virtual before reality, or real before reality. In addition, dynamic and static contrast can also achieve the effect of virtual and real coexistence. Now many photographers like to use large aperture lenses, because large aperture lenses can highlight the theme and blur the background well, but don't forget that telephoto lenses can also achieve a good effect of blurring the background. This photo uses Hasselblad 500mm lens plus 2? Range finder, aperture f/64, shutter time 1/8 seconds, focusing on the stone bridge. Because of the long shutter time, the willow fluttering in the wind is blurred, and this prospect makes the movement, light and shade, reality and reality of the picture just combine together, forming a good sense of hierarchy.

I want to say a little more about the level, because it plays an important role in the form of the whole art field. Music pays attention to melody, painting pays attention to color and poetry pays attention to rhythm. In photography, levels are reflected in the differences in hue, color, light and depth of field. If there are more levels in the picture, the whole work will be rich and there will be more room to increase the information of the picture, but if there are too many levels, it will appear visual fatigue, too complicated, and if there are too few levels, it will appear visual sense thin. If you want to take photos with a strong sense of hierarchy and reasonable levels, you have to use a variety of techniques to form a patchwork and row upon row effect.

Low light shooting

Shooting rocks by the sea in the moonlight, when the light is very dark, takes a long time to expose. The tide kept rushing to the reef, and the seawater looked like a mist because it was exposed for 15 minutes. Of course, when shooting flowing water, you can also choose a high-speed shutter to capture the splash and water droplets splashed by the water, resulting in another effect.

Light and dark colors

The essence of photography is the art of light and shadow, and the importance of shadow need not be emphasized. In fact, the appropriate tone is not necessarily the standard exposure, and it is often necessary to control the tone through exposure to achieve the release of personal feelings.

Dark tones often form a large area of dark image tone, but also a small area of' bright parts' to set off the dark parts. Dark tones give people a sense of mystery and solemnity, and also leave more room for imagination. When shooting the theme of the Royal Garden in Beijing Summer Palace, I used a large area of black to reflect the mystery and history of the Royal Garden. When shooting a dark tone image, we should not only pay attention to the full exposure of the bright part, but also pay attention to the preservation of the details of the dark part.

Sunrise and sunset

The sun is often regarded as a symbol of life, and the charming brilliance of sunrise and sunset always gives people strength. Sunrise and sunset are also the best time to shoot the scenery. Sunrise and sunset, low color temperature, large change, low illuminance, easy to model.

Personalized works

The big scenes in landscape photography are easy to shoot and easily repeated by others. If you use the same wide-angle lens and automatic exposure in one direction, it is difficult to see the photographer's unique vision and personal feelings he wants to express. How to make your photos different, such as adding personal feelings?

I often use exposure control. Decide the composition of the photo according to your understanding of the current scene and your thoughts when shooting. We often say that standard exposure is not suitable for exposure, which is the reason. Adding filters and multiple exposures can also be used to express personal feelings and thoughts. As long as it is used properly, it will also produce unexpected results. There is no better way to express personal feelings in the big scene than paying attention to details.

Frame composition

Framing and composition is the most commonly used method to shoot gardens, which can give people a strong sense of space. In China gardens, the architectural space is often relatively narrow, and the lens can't be opened when shooting, so it is easier to concentrate on the delicate characteristics of the gardens and produce the feeling of painting in picture. When the weather is gloomy or the contrast is small, the picture composition can highlight the level and emphasize the sense of depth. Generally speaking, the picture composition should use a small aperture and a large depth of field, and the foreground and background are within the depth of field, which increases the appeal of the picture.

Painting effect

Photo photography, using filters, multiple exposures, post-production and other methods, can easily achieve the desired results. In my opinion, photography pursues the effect of painting, and more importantly, it is to learn the artistic conception and connotation of painting. Painting and photography are both visual arts, and photography is closely related to painting. Whether it is China's ink painting or western oil painting, in excellent photography, you have me and I have you, so we can learn from each other.

Looking for space

Space is a very mysterious thing. It can use a wide-angle lens to express a larger space environment, and it can also use a wide frame to create a visual effect that is more in line with the human eye. But sometimes we can also use telephoto lens to intercept the space in our minds. I compare my lens to space, because my scenery is determined by my subjective consciousness. I can add pictures to crowds or streets, or compress them into close-ups of people. Different spaces give different amounts of information. If we want to find space in the environment, we should try our best to find space in our personal consciousness.
