The basic points of photography

Composition, this is the most important moment before pressing the shutter. A good photographer does not shoot what he sees in the viewfinder in a short time, but uses this short time to arrange the layout of the whole picture reasonably and skillfully to show the theme and artistic effect of his work. Composition is one of the most important subjects in this subject, and it is the key to the success or failure of a work. If you rise to the art category, composition is not too difficult, and other skills and knowledge are no matter how good and difficult. Since composition is so important, how can we constantly improve our level and skills? Efforts should be made in the following aspects: first, learn more about composition and master the basic rules of composition theoretically; Second, read more famous works to understand their creative characteristics and experiences, but avoid repetition and imitation; The third is to grasp the characteristics of ice and snow, observe more and take more pictures, and accumulate more, which will naturally improve your composition ability. I also pay great attention to the application of lines in composition. Vertical lines symbolize strength, solemnity and firmness, such as towering buildings and towering ancient trees. The use of vertical lines makes people feel its solemnity and steadiness. The horizontal line symbolizes tranquility, broadness and broadness. For example, shooting the endless sea, the horizon suitable for horizontal lines gives people a very wide feeling. Slant lines symbolize the feeling of instability and dynamics, and can also show the effect of depth. Because of the perspective, the subject will become a diagonal line, leading to the distance, where the diagonal line will guide people's attention to the depths of the picture, reflecting a depth effect. Curves symbolize softness, romance and elegance, which will give people a very beautiful feeling. In addition to specific lines, some abstract lines, such as light bands formed by long-term exposure, are very dynamic, and the curves formed by waterfalls under slow shutter are dynamic and elegant, so lines do not exist objectively in concrete entities, but we must rely on our own eyes to explore and create. This paper summarizes eight composition methods about the prominent subject: 1. To represent an object as a close-up or close-up requires close-up shooting, and the picture range has only a small space.

2. Place the subject in the foreground, so that the picture can contain enough space to become a Zhang Quanjing photo.

3. Make the subject and background have appropriate differences in tone or tone, or form sharp contrast.

4. Emphasize the main part of the composition with light to make it the brightest.

5. Focus on the main body accurately, so that the secondary part or background loses its clarity.

6. Make the main line in the picture gather to the meaning center and emphasize it with light spots. This method is often used to represent the inside.

7. Set the subject at or near the center of the picture. If there is nothing particularly eye-catching nearby, the audience will first notice the subject.

8. Use the shooting angle to emphasize the subject. However, it should be noted that extreme depression angle or elevation angle should not be applied. (1) The shooting direction can be divided into front composition, side composition and back composition.

1. The front composition produces solemn beauty and symmetrical beauty, which sometimes appears dull.

2. The side composition makes the picture vivid, three-dimensional and dynamic.

3. The following composition, through the explanation of the background environment, expresses more complex connotation in a more subtle way, giving people more imagination space.

(2) The shooting angle can be divided into-Ping She, overhead shooting and overhead shooting.

1. Ping She's pictures are similar to people's visual habits.

2. upward photography produces a majestic and tall effect.

3. High-altitude photography is the level of shooting large scenes, and the depth perspective effect is obvious, giving people a vast and far-reaching feeling.

(3) Shooting distance

The pictures taken are divided into distant view, middle view, close view and close-up. For example, through the close-up description of local details, it gives people a subtle and strong visual impression. The most widely used method in photography is "golden section". Make two imaginary bisectors for the whole frame, and four lines form tic-tac-toe. These four lines are called "golden section line". These four intersections are called "golden section". We usually arrange the subject near the golden section, which is in line with people's aesthetic consciousness. Be accepted by people and widely used. After thinking about the shooting direction, where should the subject focus on the photo? Most people are used to putting the center of gravity of the subject in the middle of the picture, which is the focus of general cameras. This place is the easiest place to take photos with clear focus, but it may not be able to take photos that successfully catch people's eyes. It turns out that the central part of the photo is not the focus of the viewer's line of sight, and some lines that divide the photo into equal parts can also make people feel dull, so someone put forward the golden section method in painting a long time ago, and it should be used in photographic composition later. The ratio of the golden section method is about1:1.1618, but it is not necessary to be so accurate when shooting. There are probably a few points to remember. If there is a line in the picture that exaggerates the photo, such as the horizon and horizontal line in the landscape photo, it is best to put it in the upper third or the lower third of the picture, not in the middle. Similarly, it is usually better to put the subject in the third position horizontally or vertically than in the middle. In addition, the golden section method also derives the well-shaped composition method, that is, as long as the picture is divided into three equal parts with two horizontal lines and then divided into three equal parts with two vertical lines, the four intersections of the four lines are the focus of attention. Putting the most important part of the picture on these key points will naturally attract people's attention.
