​The 10 most common mistakes in landscape photography

Really to the scenery photography with the heart, you will find that ordinary scenery in front of us can be wonderful, canvas prints often take photos and experience a big gap. The photographer's location, the smell he smells, the warmth of the air, and the photographer's mood can all affect the overall picture. In many cases, the photographer's bad shooting habits will also lead to the problem of picture expression. Here are 10 of the most common mistakes in landscape photography, from beginners to amateurs to professional photographers. Don't miss them!

1. The horizon is tilted

The horizon inevitably appears in most landscapes. In the ordinary person's mind, canvas australia the horizon should be horizontal. If the horizon is not taken askew, the composition of the whole picture will be greatly affected. There are several ways to make sure the horizon is straight and smooth.

Composition AIDS: most real-time cameras can use these AIDS to indicate the horizontal direction so that the composition does not tilt.

Electronic levels: many cameras now have built-in electronic levels that carefully show the Angle difference between your camera and the horizontal position.

Bubble level: USES physics to indicate the best Angle for horizontal camera shots. If not, prepare a hot boot version of the spirit level.

Post-processing: use the rotary straightening function to cut the picture to ensure its level.

Horizon line in the picture is difficult to distinguish, frames for canvas can use horizontal instrument to measure the level of the machine.

2.only use eye level Angle shooting

Shooting from eye level, we can get the most classic shooting Angle, but landscape photography can actually be more interesting. By shooting from a lower Angle, close to the ground, or from a higher point, you can get a different perspective.

3.take too empty sky

Occasionally the sky is cloudless and people feel comfortable, but too empty sky makes the picture become dull and boring. Try more interesting compositions in the sky, or simply reduce the area of the sky and focus on the foreground of the ground.

4.hand shake to take blurry photograph

For landscape photography, a blurry photograph is worthless. It is recommended to increase the shutter speed or use a tripod for shooting. In low-light environments, a sturdy tripod always provides the best shooting conditions: it keeps the camera in place, allows the photographer to free up his hands for other auxiliary actions, such as shaking a black card to light a flashlight, and helps the photographer compose accurately even when long exposures are not required. For solo style photographers, a tripod is a lifelong gay friend.

5. Lack of visual center of gravity in picture composition

The blue sky and mountains and rivers are magnificent and beautiful, but this is not the whole picture. The picture needs a visual focus to keep the audience interested. The visual center of gravity can be anything, an interesting tree, a boat, a unique cloud, a notebook, etc. The visual center of gravity often sets off the rest of the picture. In general, a picture is incomplete without a visual center of gravity.

6.The background is too confusing

When photographing scenery, the photographer should not pay too much attention to the subject and forget the formation of the background, especially the objects directly behind the subject. Remove background objects when they are not relevant to the subject. In the composition, it is best to pay attention to the distinction between each element and try to be clear and purposeful. Another thing to note is that the background changes as the light changes, and the complex light adds to the clutter.

7. Bad lighting

Shooting with natural light, the photographer will always encounter the weather. The light from rainy weather will make the whole picture gloomier and the picture contrast will be reduced. Before taking a real shot, the photographer needs to carefully consider the lighting conditions of the scene.

1. If the sun comes out, position the sun on the side and use the side light to enhance the shadow and texture expression of the picture;

2. If the sun is directly in front of the lens, the scene to be shot by the camera will be backlit so that we can take a dramatic silhouette effect;

3. If the sun appears directly behind the photographer, the scene to be shot will be in flat direct light, consider changing the direction of shooting;

4. If there is no sun and the sky is white and soft, consider using soft light for close-up.

8. Underexposure

This is an automatic exposure camera prone to error. If the sky is too bright, or the sun is shining directly into the camera during twilight, the camera can be tricked by the meter, resulting in an overall underexposure. In this case, exposure compensation can be used to adjust the overall exposure of the screen. If you can adjust the metering area, you can also command it to measure the light at the appropriate brightness in the scene.

Use a medium grey filter to darken the sky. In landscape photography, it is very important to use filters to control the exposure of images regionally.

9.Excessive exposure

For a digital camera, the loss of light beyond what can be recorded means irreversible loss of data. Large areas of overexposure are easy to spot and handle, but small areas of overexposure, such as the reflective surface of the sun, are hard to spot. Faced with such a situation, the photographer should use overexposure detection and constantly observe the histogram, and finally use exposure compensation to adjust the overall exposure.

10.Lack of depth

Even though a photograph is a two-dimensional image, it records information about the real world. Too simple a composition can cause a lack of depth. If the weakness in this aspect of the picture is perceived, the foreground, middle and background of the picture can be analyzed, and their light performance state and blur state can be considered. The main reason for the lack of depth is the lack of information. If the information you want to express is added into the picture in an orderly way, aluminum photo prints the content of the photo will be richer.
