​The basic idea of taking scenery photos

The photography works of shooting scenery subject matter are the subject matter which many photographers like to talk about. But when you face the extremely beautiful scene, canvas prints but always helpless, or it is difficult to capture the visual effect similar to the naked eye, or it is difficult to exceed the limits of the eyes to see. Then the following basic ideas may help you get better shooting and creative ideas.

Wide Angle lens

The use of wide-angle lens can provide a wide perspective in a narrow space, a strong perspective relationship and a strong visual impact. So if you need to make the foreground more prominent, you can take advantage of a wide Angle lens and shoot at a relatively close range. On the one hand, canvas photo prints it can make the subject of landscape photography more rich and obvious, and on the other hand, it can also make the picture three-dimensional. But remember, when using a wide-angle lens, remember to grasp the horizon and the sky position relationship, the sky should not leave too much space; otherwise the picture is easy to appear top-heavy.

Telephoto lenses

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, many photographers are accustomed to shooting scenery with wide-angle lenses, which can easily accommodate a wider world and bring stronger visual impact. This is of course the most commonly used shooting ideas, but see more and will not some tired of it? In fact, telephoto lenses can also be useful in landscape photography, especially when shooting mountains or highlighting local features, acrylic prints australia using the "compressed space" characteristic of telephoto lenses to make the mountains close together and bring unexpected images.

Look for static contrast

Most of the subjects involved in landscape photography are static, such as mountains, rocks or buildings in cities. But if you think about it carefully, there are also many dynamic contents that can be captured in the picture, and the charm of time and space can be interpreted by comparing the movement and movement. For example, clouds, flowing water, even trees, people and traffic flow are all dynamic elements that can be captured.

At this time, the slow shutter speed can easily make these elements "slow down", as if the time is also extended, which is one of the charm of photography. This is why many landscape photographers need ND mirrors and tripods, as if they were their right and left arms. The reason is simple. Lowering the ISO and reducing the aperture to a minimum during daylight hours won't slow the shutter speed enough to condense water (1/8s or more), while ND reducers can greatly reduce the amount of light coming in. However, if you are more proficient in post-production, then multiple stacks can also achieve the effect of a slow shutter speed.

Special Angle of view

If the basics of landscape photography don't satisfy you, the most direct approach may be to find some very special angles. In fact, the popularity of drones makes aerial photography easy. In addition to taking static photos, you can also take dynamic time-lapse photography or small video. Moreover, many products also have corresponding mobile apps that can generate works with one click, which is extremely convenient.

In addition to aerial photography, that is underwater photography. Compared to aerial photography, underwater photography is more niche, equipment is more expensive than popular drones, shooting skills is a huge field, if you want to push the limits, large canvas prints for sale pursue extreme perspective, and good at diving, then underwater photography is worth trying.
