The scenery in the eyes of photographer

In 2010 I bought the first SLR camera, after contact with many different categories of subjects, from 2012 began to focus on landscape photography. From that day in the spotlight by shadow, sweep on sea these despite the bitterness woman although fitness will be some difference, but sensitive to light and color control sometimes could be better. As a female photographer, is the key to display own superiority to enhance identification, looking for a unique view, put the feeling of nature and emotion in the film, to bring more exquisite works and spiritual beauty.

Tried to landscape photography is in the second half of 2012, although I don't have enough time to famous mountain walk freely, but fortunately I live in the city of Sydney is famous for its long beautiful coastline, provides the seascape taken shadow advantageous geographical conditions, the distance and 30 kilometers from the beach became my practice base. The magic light calling me in the morning, filming in made I appreciate the magic and grandeur of nature. These books now whether early to late do not pass, but at that time is some scenery photos I satisfied. After practice, a sweeping sea until November I finally made the first photos of ocean views can be called works, intercontinental competitions in the province (FCCTopshot) won first prize.

2013 I really should be on the road to seascape photography, the first year of your spare time and energy on the late prophase practice and practice. Countless weekends early in the morning with the stars didn't wait for the sunrise, I like to use this way to meet a new day. This is also my most diligent for a year, frequent sweep of the sea at the same time let me learn to look at the clouds weather, repeatedly encountered grandeur of evening glow.

After more than a year, in 2014 began to look for my own image in the heart of the world. Deliberately reduce taking pictures, use more time to study the works of some of the world-class masters, such as Marc Adamus, Chip Philips and Max Rive, etc., each of them has its own unique style. Gradually realized that should not be simply record the scenery, scenery photography must blend in the photographer's mood, through art gimmick apply colours to a drawing atmosphere and communicate to the viewer. rosy clouds, I no longer blindly strive to be found in the process of looking for the beauty of extraordinary, with their views of the world, and formed his own style in the late, breakthrough ideas for artistic conception.

In late 2015 began using luminance mask, for the details of the work have increased substantially. Shooting seascape also began to involve other categories of scenery photography, change a single theme, and began to realize the intentions in a planned way. Sometimes a satisfactory works is to think and luck, a few times to have a snapshot. At the same time to form their own style, the same scenery in the heart of different people will have different feelings, each work and the subject of artistic accomplishment and experience have a close relationship.

Seascape photography techniques:

1. Preparation:

Preparation for seascape photography is particularly important, plays a decisive role to the success of the photo. Including field reconnaissance, cloud cover tidal query weather, the sun the moon the galaxy azimuth and time change and so on. Shoot sunrise and sunset to great location for about 45 minutes ahead of schedule, understand the surrounding geographical environment helps reduce risk in the dark. Query information is to select the appropriate location, some places suited to low to close to shooting, and some of the local optimum and tidal waves to take out. Some scenarios composition only specific season with the appropriate weather can be realized.

3. The shooting method

Technique is commonly used in the sunrise and sunset time slow, use the colour with golden time and low light adjustable build atmosphere, and present a dream only beautiful artistic conception. When encountered in the light of this period of time difference is bigger, when shooting combined with filters and surrounded by exposure, so that the dark and bright has the details. Taken using wide Angle lens to increase more in the impact performance space, at the same time using appropriate outlook or guide line extended sense of perspective. Seascape photography is unique with different shutter speed to control the shape of the water, which parameter is taken, depends on the environment and situation, and you want to use what way to express.

3. The protective measures

Every time before filming, in the related website tidal wave direction is necessary work. Sydney about every ten minutes of the sea, there will be a big wave arrival location to observe the surrounding terrain, and waves, selecting the relative safety of the shot point. From some professional equipment, are very helpful gadgets, such as water shoes and cleats claw can help walk safely on the rock, camera raincoat can effectively protect the camera lens are wet splash waves. Keep in mind that any film is safety first, sweeping sea more need to be careful, in case of big waves or not expected, would rather give up the project don't be rushed.

4. Later period

Late about personal feel includes two aspects of technology and art expression, all my photos in RAW format, modification is done in Photoshop, Luminosity Mask (brightness) is a good tool, the plugin will use Topaz or Nik denoising and sharpening. Mainly in the late of brightness, contrast, color and sharpness of this a few aspects to do the appropriate adjustment, using luminance mask fully retained highlights the shadow detail as much as possible.

I hope I can through the technology to realize the expression of art, with a photo of any two photographers were not exactly the same in the later effect, this is each person different artistic expression. Someone like color publicity and lively, someone like deep connotation. Usually if you have good weather, the sky photos I will strengthen the impact in the late, to present the beauty of nature. And at this stage I prefer soft dark tone light, even in the cloudy or rain Come to photograph, can make the artistic processing of late have larger space, can better reflect the dramatic effect. Thank you let me saw the light nature of photography and the change of the magic of the color, make my nine-to-five life becomes rich and colorful, and met some friends. Open another window for me, and also in another way to enjoy the world to enjoy life. Also look forward to working with everyone to share their experiences in photography, make progress together.
