Matters needing attention in landscape photography

First of all, be prepared and leave room:

It is best to arrive at the shooting location one hour in advance and make all the preparations for shooting. To bring all necessary photographic equipment and accessories, a tripod is essential, and enough film and batteries should be prepared to prevent "running out of ammunition and food" at that time. If you shoot the sunrise, you should arrive before dawn, make full preparations and wait for the fleeting sunrise.

Second, be patient:

It is impossible for an impatient person to be a good landscape photographer. The "patience" mentioned here is not just waiting for the clouds to clear up, but when you find a scenery that you think is really worth shooting, and the shooting conditions are not ideal at this time, you can shoot it later, or shoot it in another season, or even spend several years waiting for the right shooting opportunity.

Third, be familiar with your equipment:

The change of natural light often makes the situation of the subject change rapidly, so we should be good at grasping the fleeting moments in shooting. The premise is that you should be really familiar with and fully master the equipment used, especially the various functions of the camera. It is unforgivable to miss an excellent shooting opportunity just because you don't know the equipment.

Fourth, take more photos:

When you are intoxicated with the charming scenery in front of you, you will think that this must be a perfect landscape photography. However, the shooting angle you use is only a point in the circle around the subject. How can you be sure that only this location you choose is the best shooting point? Although we don't really need circular shooting, it is very beneficial to change the shooting viewpoint and angle, use lenses with different focal lengths and different exposure combinations (that is, adopt circular exposure).

Five, learn to use bad weather:

Mist, clouds, the coming storm … these so-called bad lighting conditions can be used. In fact, many excellent landscape photos we saw were not taken under the clear weather conditions in Wan Li.

Six, don't ignore the role of attachments:

In landscape photography, the flexible use of various filters can add icing on the cake to the work. Of course, the filter cannot be abused, nor can it destroy the original outdoor lighting conditions, otherwise it will feel artificial. You can also use the flash to play auxiliary light to increase the foreground details in the work.

Seven, flexible use of composition:

Although many works conform to these typical composition rules, the law of three-point composition must not be applied when shooting. Dare and be good at breaking these laws. Good composition can only be obtained through careful observation, careful understanding and courage to practice. It is impossible to shoot excellent landscape photography by mechanically copying composition.

Eight, to maintain a healthy body:

Engaging in landscape photography requires a lot of physical strength, which is beyond the capacity of "sick seedlings".
