Tourism photography skills

1. Select photographic equipment

What kind of camera to use depends largely on your shooting requirements and purpose. On the premise of meeting the shooting needs, try to make the equipment light.

2. Consult relevant information along the route and destination in advance.

Don't be satisfied with what you already know about the tourist destination. Even if you have been there in the past, you should know more about it, which is very necessary for travel. Generally speaking, such as Travel Guide, online travel guide and travel map are of great reference value. We should fully understand the local customs, geographical conditions and climate characteristics.

Practical shooting skills:

1. Characteristic architecture-pay attention to the light and color capture of the building.

Characteristic ancient dwellings, landmark buildings, buildings with unique shapes or sculptures are all landmarks for framing. Of course, light is very important, and it will be better to follow it. The use of light and shadow to create the keynote of architecture is also a way of expression. It still depends on the skill of the photographer's personal photographic vision. If you observe more and learn more, you will certainly develop and create your own unique photographic style.

2. Sunrise and sunset-aperture priority shooting, middle aperture F5.6-F8.0, closed exposure.

The best time to shoot sunrise or sunset is about 40 minutes before and after the sun appears on the horizon; It is best to shoot the sunrise before the sun comes out, arrive at the shooting point about an hour in advance, judge the direction of the sunrise, and complete all the observation and preparation work. So when shooting the sunrise, you have to use a flashlight to touch the dark. The best way to shoot the afterglow of the sunset is to choose one or two days before the rain stops or the typhoon comes. At that time, the clouds in the sky were rich and the twilight was the most beautiful. When faced with this scene, don't pack your camera in a hurry when the sun goes down, but stay patiently for another hour or so to capture the poems and paintings of the sun, because all his glory is buried in the coming night.

4. Humanism-the shutter is preferred, and the shutter is fixed at1125s, emphasizing the collocation of people and scenery.

Humanistic imaging should be a special course, and humanities has always been a difficult subject for beginners, because this picture may be 2? Within a few seconds, it will be completed from framing and composition to pressing the shutter, so the camera should be ready to take pictures at any time, and the shutter takes priority. The shutter is set to1125 s. Generally, I will keep this state when holding the camera. I can take pictures at any time when there is a good picture. Of course, it takes some practice to master that rhythm, and communication with the subject should be skillful.

5. Commemorative photos-each with his own ability.

Generally speaking, group photography does not deliberately emphasize composition or shutter opportunities, but it is very important to handle the environmental description of works with a sense of travel. You might as well choose a mountain peak or a specific landscape as the background, so that everyone can stay here as an eternal memorial. The premise of taking a group photo is to show kindness and nature. Therefore, if the photographed person stands at attention like a basic coach in the army, it will be difficult to show the works of the dispatched person. When shooting this kind of works, the photographer doesn't have to sit, stand, squat, lie down, kneel and lie down, no matter what posture he takes, but when necessary, the photographer can also arrange everyone's unified body movements or shout loudly at the same time to set off a happy climax.

7. Lake-The reflection in the lake shows the lake and the mountain.

The morning light shines on the wide lake. The lake is clear and blue, slightly rippling and rippling, reflecting green forests, colorful leaves, auspicious clouds and distant mountains. They reflect each other beautifully and cling to the photographer's heartstrings, scrambling to capture the beautiful moments of the lake and mountains, setting off the beautiful reflection of the lake and mountains, which not only creates an atmosphere, but also makes the lake more aura.

8. flowers-small aperture takes a big scene, and large aperture takes a small scene.

When photographing flowers, whether they are blooming flowers, budding buds, dead leaves and flowers, or falling petals, the natural environment in which they grow is usually taken as the background to set off the flowers. When the pictures of flowers are too messy or can't show the proper atmosphere, it is really difficult to capture satisfactory works. Before pressing the shutter, the scene environment must be sorted out, arranged and carefully designed. In addition, in order to show the main body in a simple picture, the background should be as simple as possible, and it is advisable to choose a dark or dark background, which will definitely highlight the colorful flowers more clearly; For example, setting the grassland, hills, valleys and other sunny places as the background, or placing flowers at a low angle in the blue sky, can achieve the purpose of highlighting the main body because of the simple background. If you still think that the above methods weaken the elegance of flowers, you can also use a large aperture to moderately blur the background to render the atmosphere, which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also will definitely give people a strong visual experience.
