What lens to use for landscape photography?

Wide angle lens.

Wide-angle lenses are most commonly used in landscape photography. It is easier to obtain a wide field of view and a vast sense of space when shooting landscapes. Photographers must learn to use lightweight standard fixed-focus lenses depending on the actual situation in order to obtain close-to-human images. Picture from a monocular perspective, or use a telephoto lens to create a sense of compression in the picture.

The scenery captured by the wide-angle lens is large up close and small far away, and the perspective effect is exaggerated. The closer the subject is to the lens, the more obvious the exaggeration becomes. Therefore, when taking portraits, the characters should not be too close to the camera, otherwise it will be easy to take deformed photos with "fat noses and mouse ears". A telephoto lens can take pictures of the moon, and it can take pictures of a very large moon.

Tips for taking pictures of landscapes

1. Shoot from the sky. Angle is very important in photography. When shooting landscapes, you have to choose a creative and shocking angle, such as shooting from the bottom up along the bamboo or along the trunk. Sometimes you need to shoot vertically.

2. Pay attention to gaps and frames. This technique also applies to many ordinary life situations. You can look for those natural frames formed by the natural environment when shooting, and let your subject be in the frame, so that the subject of your photo will be more prominent and specific.

3. Make good use of light. The picture of photography is created by light, which makes the picture gorgeous, rich and diverse. When the normal angle is no longer enough to express, you can try backlighting. Backlighting can outline the outline of the scene and divide the color blocks of the picture. Silhouette shooting from backlight is also the charm of photography.
