​13 Practical Landscape photography tips

First, the station looks far to shoot mountains, layer by layer progressively more wonderful.

It is better to stand on high to get a wider perspective, while from the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains in the distance, it also makes photos more rhythmical and makes people feel comfortable.

It is not advised to shoot only a small part of a mountain, such as the one below. Because the angle is low and the framing range is small, the photo looks less open than the previous one. Moreover, the rocks in the foreground also block the audience's view of the mountain, making people feel that the visual route is obstructed.

Second, have clouded sky area big, dark cloud ground takes it more.

When taking a picture of the sky, many friends will be embarrassed, do not know how much area to let the sky, here to introduce a method for you, the day when there are more clouds, we can let the sky occupy most of the scope of the picture, because the sky has clouds, better details, scenery more rich.

And just a blue sky, no clouds, it would look empty. When the sky is cloudless, we can let the ground to take up most of the picture. The ground occupies most of the scope should also pay attention to. The ground to have scenery to have the meaning of taking, the ground is also empty, the scenery is not beautiful, take out will not be good.

Third, boundless a focus, no focus do not make trouble

Some of the scenery are so vast that it seems to have no focal point, but when you take a picture, the whole picture is the focal point. If in front of the immense landscape, there are some individual scenes as the main body of the photo can also be. Nevertheless, if it doesn't, don't tinker with it.

Fourth, the same scene has protruded, no protruding piece easy paste.

When there are a lot of the same scene in the photo, we need to found in the scene that a prominent, because this will make the whole picture looks a point of interest, such as the same are windmills, put them into the same size, is not so good, there is a special highlight particularly big, other than its small, photos will be compared. Like this one:

In the picture of the sky and trees, the trees in the foreground are red and have nice colors. However, because their shapes and colors are too unified, the trees in this picture appear to have been no focus and many edges are not clear and blurred.

Fifth, the top should be light, the bottom should be heavy, the top and bottom can be different in the middle. Center composition and balanced composition are typically used by us. Under what circumstances can a landscape photograph look better when using center composition?

When the upper, middle and lower scenes in the picture are different, use the center composition to make the interior scene stand out, and the overall atmosphere of the picture will be better. At the same time, it should be noted that the bottom part of the photo should be apparent from the middle and the top part. For example, the photo with a boat will look heavier under the photo, which is consistent with people's daily feelings.

Sixth, the background line is taboo, change angle line can avoid.

When shooting some minor scenes, there are lines in the background, which is a big no-no in photography. Because lines make the front scene feels cute and the background feels cut. Especially when shooting small scenes. So what should I do?

Seventh, normal water ordinary custom, long exposure water such as silk fog.

The correct parameters are to use a tripod to achieve stability in the camera, set the shutter time to 30 seconds, then turn down the aperture, set the sensitivity to a minimum, and control the exposure of the photo. The water will pick up the shape of a silk mist and look smooth. With plain parameters, no slow doors, no long exposures to shoot, the water will look unattractive.

Eighth, movement contrast is not rigid, light contrast has light and dark.

In the landscape photography work can also use contrast to create, there are many types of contrast, there are light and shade contrast, virtual and real contrast, static and static contrast. For example, water patting, water patting into the shape of silk fog, it can form a good static and static contrast with scenery outside the water, water again silk line state, the contrast effect is more obvious, but also can use point metering, metering point outside the main body, the main body can be shot into silhouette, to form a beautiful contrast between light and shade.

Ninth, the prospect does not necessarily represent a blur, take advantage of the guidance is not bad.

The photos have a foreground and look more layered. Countless friends, in the use of the foreground, like the scenery close to the lens, the foreground shot into a blur. Other than that, what other prospects would you take?

The foreground can not only be blurred, we can also adjust the shooting Angle, lower the camera position, and use the silk line formed by the water to guide the viewer's line of sight, so that the three-dimensional sense of depth of the photo is better.

Tenth, early morning evening color good, early evening warm slant blue.

In scenery photography creation, it's also important to find beautiful colour, take the scenery, looking for color, mainly master shooting time, early in the morning and evening sky there will be a beautiful color, the color of sunshine, will render the whole picture, and must not be taken in the noon, because at noon the sun is too strong, too hard, take photographs without details, photos are also easy to the image.

Eleventh, to see the weather to site, to adjust the angle to find the law.

In addition to the Angle parameters, daily operation of the photography skills, to master the scenery photography skills, checks the weather forecast, some special scenery, only in the corresponding weather can be shot. Watch the weather, but also in advance to the shooting location, adjust the shooting azimuth to select the scenery. This will ensure that you have a better chance of taking stunning scenery shots. If there are some regular scenes on the ground, we need to adjust the angles left and right or back to make them regularly in the picture and increase the rhythm of the picture.

Twelfth, gold node more beautiful, the overall dazzle of the finishing pen.

The finishing touch is very important in painting, and it is also significant in photography, for example, in this picture with sunlight, the sunlight is the finishing touch. Because of this one point of color, this one bright spot, the whole picture comes alive. The finishing touch can be positioned in the middle or at the golden point. If there is a subject in the photo, it will also make the whole picture look better if it is located at the privileged node. For example, the boat down here is in the golden node in the lower left corner of this picture.

Thirteen, one halfs is too rigid. No point can diffuse.

If the layering is obvious, don't put the dividing line in the middle of the picture, because a half split composition will make the picture look too rigid. It is not appropriate to have a focal point in a photograph. When there is no focal point, we should pay heed to the overall atmosphere. In a foggy day, or at a high enough height on a mountain, we should shoot down the clouds to form an overall diffuse state.
