How to take photos of scenery in travel?

When traveling, you must take photos, whether it's scenic spots or people's photos. Now Bian Xiao will tell you the skills of taking photos while traveling. Now let's go and see if you need these.

Shooting the sunrise

When taking a landscape photo, using a small aperture will make the picture clearer and more transparent. A small aperture will make the sun appear stars, but the sky outside is darker at sunrise, which exceeds the safety shutter.

hand-held photography will shake, so use a tripod; If there is a cable release, there is no self-timer mode;

try to choose center metering and average metering. Don't face the sun, but face the surrounding clouds (or the sky slightly above). You can turn on exposure compensation, just use automatic or daylight white balance.

If the light in Qinghai Lake is very strong, you should lower the aperture by one level when taking pictures. The angle should not be too close to the lake, and the lake and the coast should be distributed in proportion. The general foreground can occupy one-third or one-half of the picture. The best angle of sunrise is the moment when the sun just rises above the sea level, and it is also the moment when the sun just shines. It is necessary to judge the trajectory of the sun in advance. Below the aperture f11, the shutter is about 5 seconds, and the focal length is more than 3mm according to photometry.

shooting the starry sky

because the stars are moving, the exposure time of shooting the starry sky should not be too long, about 15s, and the starlight is weak, so the aperture should be large, f3.2 or f2.8, and the sensitivity should be improved to iso64. The wider the lens, the better. Fisheye lens, wide-angle fixed focus and wide-angle zoom are all good choices, and the best focus should be between 14mm focus and 35mm focus.

if you shoot the star track, the exposure time will be longer, so it is necessary to prevent other light sources from entering. There are two methods to choose in the process of shooting the star orbit: one is single exposure shooting, and the other is multiple exposure and post-superposition shooting. It is recommended to use multiple exposures for better selectivity.

The best time to shoot the starry sky is summer and early autumn, because the starry sky lasts a long time and the moon rises late in this season, so it will not affect the light of the stars. The best time is between 1 pm and 2 midnight. Shoot the starry sky and orbit, be absolutely meticulous about the weather, and make sure the sky is cloudless in Wan Li. The weather is transparent and there is no smog.

Photographic skills about composition

Three-point composition: Simply put, the horizontal lines in the picture are placed in the upper and lower third of a photo. If the sky is fine, leave two-thirds of the sky and one-third of the landscape. If the landscape is good, and vice versa.

center point composition: this composition method is actually very simple. For example, shooting the sunset in front of the great lake, the sun is placed at the center, and the sky and the water surface are a set of symmetrical pictures. The lake will reflect the reflection of the sky, and then the sun is just at the center, which is warm light. The picture is very harmonious under the contrast of cold and warm.

Photographic equipment

In Quan Huafu, it is best to bring two SLR lenses, one wide angle, one Jiao Da aperture, a tripod (Bainuo's is also ok) and a cable camera. You can bring ND filter, gradient filter and lens cleaning tool.

photography weather query

It is said that scenery photography looks at the weather, which is true. Catch up with the extreme weather of rain, sometimes I can't shoot it. It is recommended to check the weather forecast in advance before going to Qinghai, especially the app for forecasting the weather. Now these apps are very powerful, such as cloud cover, atmospheric visibility, atmospheric transparency, gale warning and so on. Can be displayed. I recommend an app—— with good weather-Sunshine Clock. Always pay attention to the weather and arrange your trip before you travel.
