Professional photographer's scenery experience

Write this article is actually just to do an introduction and systematic summary for the scenery photography. I hope it can be help for many who love to shoot landscapes but always felt they cannot get good ones.

First, scenery photography in the choice of the lens is not too many requirements. In fact we have no matter with what kind of camera lens can be shooting scene. This is the first of a misunderstanding of many people. Many people feel inseparable from the wide-angle landscape photography, but it is not. Here I want to say a good scenery photograph is actually beautiful found on the environment.

In fact the actual lens focal length choice is related to the perspective of the relationship within the photograph, that is to say with a wide-angle vision is to bring a perspective drawing, but with a telephoto to bring the visual picture is actually compressed. This is what I said before the wide-angle lens is not really a necessity in landscape photography. But why a lot of work would choose to use a wide-angle performance? As I said before, it is to bring the wide-angle perspective visual tension. It is because of such a visual perspective drawing to a greater extent make some vast landscape in the broad characteristics of this reflected more color. So the lens in the choice is not the more widely the better it is, or the more widely the more test of composition. At this point my personal experience is deeper understanding of the wide-angle starting from the depth of field. Because the depth of field is the actual object distance, focal length and aperture related. Many times some people always think two steps back if not wide, but especially the shooting position many times made me realize that the actual filming process some of the ultra-wide-angle lens used in a large depth of field, the big picture outlook is a must.

Secondly, filters, between black cards with exposure bracketing how should choose? At this point I would like to talk about the role of these three shooting modes. Filters, there was a time I believe that this is not a necessity for high-quality landscape photography, because to bring in the filter process is repeated superimposed on the picture quality, or even cast. But in recent works I once again put the filter into the landscape photography necessities in the past, mainly because I found a lot of features I cannot actually filter fast and perfect shooting late in the simulation.

Prejudiced mirror as a filter to eliminate reflection I believe many people are more familiar with, but I do not often use this filter, because he has taken only water theme works but also in water and does not require water shooting reflective when only need to use this filter. For example, we want to show the water crystal clear when, or no reflection when certain metals will be used, usually is not really a necessity. Minus lens is a filter to reduce exposure, it is mainly used for slowly shutter photography. But there are still a lot of friends around not sure about when exactly to use minus lens, how much reduction lens they need to use. My personal experience is that generally want to make clouds moving effect that requires a number of high-end dimming mirror, if simply flow effect control in the vicinity of the shutter 0.5S enough, sometimes the water atomization effect is not particularly easy way out.

At the same time, the number of high-grade dimming mirror the problems caused by the white balance is a problem, if more demanding can choose to use a gray card is corrected. At least for now I do not find a more convenient way. Finally, gradient lens, for me, is a very tangled filters, there was a time that the gradient lens digital age began to slowly becomes not much use of space, always felt adjustable little space, sometimes side effects very easy way.

Next we explore bracketing method bracketed not do details. Only talk about my experience in the course of. Bracketing in large part to enhance the detail of the landscape photography, at least he avoided the front edge gradient lens brings exposure is not working properly. But the actual use down and sometimes I would choose to use a filter, the reason is very simple:

Before you can use filters to bring the problem of uneven exposure I chose a relatively simple and crude way to solve it is to choose a lower gradient mirror gradient file number to avoid this unnatural problem. This is 0.9 gradient lenses I recommend before, now renamed recommended 0.6 gradient mirror reasons.

Then we talk about the black card, personally feel that this belongs to the super senior landscape photography techniques, I feel I'm not learn. In fact, I really do not want to feel in front of the camera shaking black card, as well as shaking black card is mainly used to slow the door, always felt tired, so give up, Tell me what you do not laugh at me.

Finally, I would like to say and post-exposure, why put them together, it is mainly because many people feel that the digital era can be post-exposure is not important, there are a lot of people have consulted me pictures transparent why they shot not enough thoroughly. According to my personal experience in terms of actually picture through a combination of factors, not simply because of good air photograph on transparent. Early exposure is actually a normal photo quality guarantee transparent.

In fact, these are inseparable relationship between photography and painting, especially landscape photography reflects this more obvious, a good landscape photography work on the election scene is particularly important. My personal addition to the so-called Rule of Thirds composition actually pay more attention to the performance of visual guidance and prospects promising, with prospects contrast with the guidance and vision of middle ground also a higher level of performance, the whole picture will naturally transparent stand up.

Conclusion, the article at the end, I think a lot of people want to know what I am in the end what way to shoot beautiful photos. Currently my personal shooting scenery photos mainly based on the choice of theme equipment, the need to complete the single shot I choose to use a filter, Lee is currently used stent system and the history of the dragon titanium stent system, the former with a 82 caliber few wide-angle lens the latter is used in a two lamp is mainly used in ultra-wide head. For exposure may surround the subject I would give superimpose fast filter selection Exposure to post-processing? As previously mentioned composition and exposure, we rely both on their daily accumulation and feeling, the article written here, and finally pay a few wind-rays, as always feel that's a bit more, a little less.
