What are some photography tips when photographing landscapes?Landscape is a relatively static subject, and three skills need to be mastered in a big way, namely composition skills, lighting skills, and shooting skills.

Composition Techniques Landscape photography mostly adopts the rule of thirds to compose the picture, arranging the horizon line above or below 1 3 places, and the landscape ** is generally inseparable from the expansion effect of the sky, so that the picture appears vast and deep. Whether the sky accounts for 1 3 or 2 3 should be determined according to the landscape at that time, and the sky should be 2 3 when the sky is cloudyWhen the ground scenery is beautiful, let the ground part account for 2 3.

The composition should highlight the subject, which can be a house, a mountain, a group of people or other animals, or a line, a touch of sunshine, a side of color. If the main body appears in the shape of a line, it can be composed according to the rule of thirds and placed at the lower 1 3 places;The main body appears in the shape of a point and can be placed at a point in the nine-square grid.

In order to enhance the sense of spatial depth in the picture, it is necessary to use the foreground appropriately, such as tree branches, flowers, etc.

Lighting TechniquesNatural light mainly includes forward light, backlight, side light and top light, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and should be selected according to different shooting intentions, and sometimes you need to be patient.

The light is bright and the color performance is good, but the contrast between light and dark is small, which is not conducive to the expression of three-dimensional sense and sense of space.

Backlighting is good for depicting the outer contours of an object, but not for showing the layers and details of the front of the object.

The side light can produce a strong contrast between light and dark, so that the scenery is rich, the three-dimensional sense is strong, and the picture is vivid, which is most commonly used in landscape photography.

The top light shines vertically from the top of the object and is projected under the scene, which can meet some special shooting needs, but is generally not commonly used.

Shooting skillsShooting direction: For each shooting scene, different angles will present different visual effects, so it is necessary to carefully observe and analyze to find the most novel and unique angle to shoot.

Shooting height: Shoot up, flat, or down according to your shooting intentions. Shooting from the top can exaggerate the height of a view, such as a mountain peak;Flat shots can realistically represent the perspective relationship between the foreground, the subject and the foreground; Overhead shooting is suitable for large scenes and can enhance the sense of depth in the picture.

Camera settings: generally use a 24-70mm zoom lens to facilitate adjusting the composition, adopt aperture priority mode, and use the aperture size between to obtain a large depth of field; Auto white balance, ISO sensitivity 100, image files saved in RAW format. At the same time, it is used with a tripod, a neutral gray gradient lens, a CPL polarizer, an ND lens, etc.

Frame determination: Generally 4 3 format shooting, so that it can be easily cut into 1 and other formats in the later stage. The choice of banner or vertical should be determined according to the shooting scene, generally the picture based on horizontal lines should be shot with banners, and the pictures dominated by vertical lines should be shot in vertical frames.

Landscape photography is one of the most popular subjects that can be adapted to both cameras and mobile phones. However, it is not easy to shoot wonderful landscape photography, in addition to mastering these skills, it is more important to break through the routine and be bold and innovative.

To take a good landscape photo, the main thing is not the equipment, but the human brain, and the photographer must be good at observing and capturing the scenery between the s.

First of all, you need to choose a suitable location. Choose the best angle when shooting. Take a look at the renderings before shooting. Adjust the focus before shooting.

Professional landscape photographers all take good landscape photos by taking, lighting, dimming, and then retouching.

You should adjust the angle to shoot, because only in this way can you shoot a more beautiful **, so you should pay great attention to the choice of angle.

To get a good picture, when the background is good, the landscape photos will look good.

Here are four tips for looking good in landscape photography. 1. Pay attention to the timing:

If you want to take a picture of a beautiful landscape**, it's important to wait, as taking photos in the same place at different times of the day will look very different.

2. Pay attention to the color combination

Color combinations also play an important role in landscape photography. To create a harmonious, pleasing and balanced look, we can use "complementary colors" or "similar colors" on the color wheel. "Complementary colors" are colors on the color wheel that are opposite each other, such as yellow and blue.

3. Shoot with a telephoto lens:

Usually when shooting landscapes**, a wide-angle lens is preferred because its exaggerated angle of view can create a better sense of space and show the magnificence of the landscape.

As follows:

1. Learn about natural light.

Light is a major factor in photography, and light is very important for photographing natural landscapes. Because each range of light produces different colors and sensations, if you've looked at a landscape captured by a professional photographer, you'll see the skill with which natural light is used.

Usually, the best time to photograph landscapes is in the morning and evening, which is a short period of time, such as early in the morning, after the sun has risen for a while, and the night before the sun rises. After the sun is about to set, this is another time of light when you can photograph beautiful landscapes, and if you want to make your shots look beautiful, you just need to know the lighting conditions.

2. Research and prepare for weather conditions.

Weather conditions have a big impact on outdoor photography. Climate change can also affect photography, such as when you're out shooting, raining, or cloudy, so it's important to plan before you go out to photograph landscapes. Check the weather forecast to properly prepare your photography equipment, whether you have added or equipped it with special equipment.

3. Spend more time observing the filming area.

When I got to the place where I wanted to take pictures, some people were directly busy taking pictures, and they moved quickly. But in order to get the perfect picture it takes time to get used to the place, looking at the angle, looking for the perspective, composing the shot, moving around to find a unique angle, using tripod photography, which is another way to slow down the movement.

4. Use the horizon wisely.

There are many advantages to using a tripod for photography, even when shooting landscapes that require a long time**, you need to use a tripod to reduce camera shake for a clear, non-shaky image, as well as flattening the image, which can be done by turning on the grid lines.

5. Shoot some vertical **.

Photography composition skills: If you want to learn photography, you must learn composition, which can enhance the artistic effect of the picture. Below we have sorted out 8 of the most basic composition methods, although simple, but the most used.

1. Horizontal line composition.

Horizontal lines are often used to express vast landscapes, such as seas, lakes, and grasslands.

When taking a photo, you can frame the image according to the position of the horizontal line to express the subject. For example, if the subject of our photograph is a lake, then we can place the horizontal line at 1 4 or 1 5 in the frame, focusing on the lake below the horizontal line.

If your subject is the sky, then the horizontal lines can be placed at 1 4 or 1 5 at the bottom of the frame.

2. Vertical line composition.

Vertical line compositions are more often used to represent trees or buildings, and will give people a sense of upward, firm, and upright.

If you want to show trees growing upwards or other vertical scenes, it is best not to leave blank on the top of **, so as to leave the audience with the subject is infinitely extended.

3. S-shaped curve composition.

If there is an S-shaped curve in the image, then consider using this composition, which is usually used to express the female figure, or when shooting rivers and roads.

4. Diagonal composition.

Diagonal composition, that is, the main image in the picture is presented as oblique lines, which will have a stronger sense of movement visually. In general, this type of composition is commonly used when shooting intense racing cars or other speed-based races.

5. Triangular composition.

Triangles have stability, and everyone knows that, and the same effect is applied to this method of composition when taking pictures. It is used to express the sense of stability of the characters and the majesty of the natural world.

6. Guide line composition.

This composition technique is often used to shoot bridges or straight roads, giving the picture a strong sense of depth and enhancing the sense of mystery and unknown at the end of the picture.

For example, in the following photo, the pile of stones in the foreground is a guide line, leading everyone's attention to the farthest boat.

7. Scattered composition.

Scattered composition is to compose a picture in the shape of scattered dots, and its main feature is that "the form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered". It is more commonly used to photograph cows, sheep or horses on the ground, or flowers dotted on the grass. Make the picture have a strong sense of rhythm.

8. Rule of thirds composition.

Divide the entire frame into 9 identical areas, and arrange the subject on the 4 intersections of the dividing line or any of the dividing lines.

The rule of thirds can avoid the dullness and uninteresting of the picture.

If you are still a novice photographer, you may wish to write down these 8 composition methods and learn them well, although they seem simple, but if you use them well, you can also shoot good shots.
