How to take good pictures of the scenery?

Using clouds to express the fairyland effect of mountain scenery

Mountains and clouds always accompany each other, and there are many "clouds of the sea" in the famous landscapes of famous mountains and rivers. For example, Huangshan, Taishan and Lushan can take beautiful photos of the sea of clouds.

When taking photos of misty mountain scenery, the composition should be left blank, and the front light or front light can be considered in the use of light, so that the picture can form an ethereal high-profile effect. Backlighting mountain scenery is easy to form a silhouette, which can form a contrast between reality and fog, and it is easier to express the beauty of the outline of mountain scenery.

When clouds cover the mountains, the mountains will become blurred, some details of the mountains will be covered, and the covered peaks will contrast with the uncovered peaks, resulting in a sense of uncertainty. Shooting such a mountain will give the picture a mysterious and ethereal effect.

Choose the right angle to express the mountain situation.

Shooting mountain scenery from different perspectives can get completely different picture effects. For example, when shooting mountain scenery from a head-up angle, the true face and undulating lines of the mountains can be highlighted to the maximum extent; Shooting from an upward angle can set the mountain off in the sky to the maximum extent; Taking a bird's eye view from the air can not only show the panoramic view of the mountain scenery, but also give people the feeling that other mountains are short under the sky. Through proper composition.

Make use of the prospect to highlight the beauty of mountain scenery

When shooting all kinds of mountains and rivers, if you can arrange the foreground in the picture and use other scenery (such as animals and trees) as a foil, you can not only make the picture three-dimensional and layered, but also create a different picture atmosphere and enhance the expressive force of mountains and rivers.

For example, with the background of wild animals, the mountain peaks will appear more quiet, comfortable and energetic, and at the same time, it will increase the interest of the picture. If you shoot with water or flowers as the foreground, you can increase the feeling of beautiful scenery.

Choose the best time to shoot sunrise and sunset.

The prime time to shoot sunrise and sunset is when the sun appears around the horizon. During this time, the human eye will not feel dazzling when looking directly at the sun, and the light is very soft, which is convenient for shooting scenery.

Because the light of sunrise and sunset changes quickly, we should be good at grasping this short shooting opportunity. Shooting the sunrise should start when the sun has not yet risen and the sky begins to appear rosy clouds, while shooting the sunset should start when the light intensity of the sun begins to weaken and the surrounding sky or clouds begin to appear red or yellow sunset clouds.
