A few photography skills to keep the beauty of life
I saw a sentence recently and was deeply touched.

Boris Pasternak said, "People don't live a lifetime, not a few years, months and days, but a few moments."

how to seize the moment and make the beauty last forever? I think besides observing attentively, I also need to master some practical skills, such as photography and painting.

Part I: Photography Composition Practice

Part I: Frame Practice

1. Banner painting, which has the sense of reality in person, can give people a wide field of vision (shooting with a mobile phone horizontally) and wants to show the openness of the picture horizontally. For example: natural scenery with horizon.

2. Vertical frame shows the height and straightness of the subject, which can also increase the sense of spatial depth of the picture and show the sense of depth of the picture.

3. The square frame is a standard square, so it will give people a balanced, serious, stable and static visual effect. When shooting natural scenery, the square frame can make the picture show the beauty of harmony and stability.

2: Practice of shooting angle

In photography composition, we can divide shooting angles into three types: looking up, looking up and looking down.

1. Look up, reflecting the tall and straight object and increasing the stereoscopic effect of the screen space. With the sky as the background, it is more concise to avoid clutter. In addition, the impact is strong, the object is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the larger the angle of looking up, the greater the deformation effect and the stronger the impact of the picture.

2. Head-up, in line with human visual habits, can ensure that the main body in the picture is not deformed, giving people a peaceful, balanced and stable visual experience. When shooting portraits, it gives people a close sense of the picture.

-avoid the main body not being prominent, and the head-up picture is relatively dull, which is easy to cause the main body not to be prominent, and arrange the main body in the most eye-catching position of the picture, such as near the golden section.

-choose the subject with attractive form, and increase the attraction of the screen through the subject.

3. Looking down, the photos taken will have a commanding and overall effect, and the field of vision is very broad.

-the higher the overlooking height, the greater the visual impact.

-When shooting from above, there are many elements entering the picture, so try to avoid clutter from affecting the picture.

3: Practice of Different Scenes

Scenes, the range of different sizes presented by the subject and screen images in the photos can be divided into several categories, such as distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close-up view and close-up.

1. Foresight, arrange the subject in the distance of the picture, so that the vision can be broad and far-reaching. You can also use a variety of means to express the depth of the picture, such as using line elements.

2. Panorama, which allows viewers to see the complete subject. When shooting a panoramic picture, the lens of the mobile phone should be far away from the main body, so that the whole picture of the main body can be presented. In this process, it is necessary to avoid messy objects from entering the picture and make the main body stand out in the picture.

3. The middle shot shows a local picture of the subject. When shooting, attention should be paid to grabbing the part with obvious essential characteristics of the subject for performance.

4. Close-up, which can show the local details more clearly. When shooting, we should pay attention to arranging the subject in the visual center of the picture, and keep the background simple to avoid the messy background distracting the viewer's visual attention.

5. close-up, which shows some local information of the subject in the picture very clearly and carefully, and the picture is simple and simple, which can strengthen the content and highlight the details.

4: Composition exercise

1. Single point composition, choose a single element as the main body of the picture, so that the picture has only one attractive focus point. Single-point composition requires the picture to be simplified, emphasizing the prominence of the subject, and rationally arranging the position of a single subject in the picture to make the picture look more harmonious.

-avoid the messy scene shooting

-blur the background near the subject

-change the shooting position or angle, and choose a clean background for the subject

2. Multi-point checkerboard composition. When there are multiple repeated identical elements in the picture, you can use these repeated elements for multi-point checkerboard composition. The repeated appearance of multiple identical elements can make the picture have an imposing manner, thus achieving the purpose of rendering the atmosphere and enriching the picture.

-multiple subjects in the picture are in a parallel relationship, so they should be presented in the picture in a balanced way, regardless of priority.

-Try to shoot from different angles, so that the subjects are evenly distributed in the picture, and the characteristics of each subject are more fully displayed in the picture, resulting in richer visual effects.

3. Minimalist composition ensures that there are very few elements in the picture, and most areas of the picture are made up of blank spaces, showing a small and fresh style of literature and art.

5. Look for horizontal and vertical lines in the scene to practice

Horizontal and vertical lines often determine whether the picture is stable, natural and harmonious

1. Vertical lines bring stability, straightness, solemnity and toughness to the picture.

-ensure the vertical angle, because a skewed line can easily break the harmony of the picture and make people feel that the composition is not rigorous.

-The use of repeated vertical lines can increase the three-dimensional sense of the picture, guide people's sight and bring people a sense of rhythm visually.

2. horizontal lines, which often appear in scenery themes, one or several horizontal lines parallel to the ground can bring a stable, comfortable, peaceful and peaceful picture feeling to the picture.

-Make sure that the horizontal line is horizontal in the picture

-Different positions of the horizontal line in the picture will bring different effects, but it must conform to the golden section law and be arranged in the upper third or the lower third of the picture.

six: find the curve in the scene

building the curve in the picture can make the picture harmonious, beautiful and elegant

? -There are many kinds of curves, the most common ones are S-type and C-type.-The closer the mobile phone lens is to the curve element, the more obvious the spatial depth effect will be.

Seven: Composition Practice of Convergence Line

The original parallel lines converge and cross at a certain point

Using the convergence line for composition shooting can bring a strong visual impact and a sense of spatial depth to the picture. It is often used to shoot scenery, architecture and other subjects to show the strong convergence effect and spatial perspective effect of the picture.

-lines can be virtual lines

-the denser the converging lines are, the stronger the depth of perspective will be, and the picture will also show a three-dimensional effect.

? -The closer the cell phone lens is to the convergence line element, the more obvious the convergence effect will be. Crouching down and shooting with your mobile phone down can make the convergence more intense.

Eight: Three-way Composition Exercise

Divide the picture into three parts, call the two bisectors the three-way line, and build the picture with the bisectors the three-way line composition

-When shooting scenery, the horizontal three-way composition is commonly used, which can be divided into the upper three points and the lower three points, and then determine which part accounts for a large proportion according to which part of the picture is more attractive. -When shooting people, animals or flowers, you can arrange the subject on the vertical bisector. Using vertical trisection composition can not only achieve the purpose of highlighting the main body, but also make the picture more lively and vivid. Shooting at a low angle will make the picture more vivid.

Nine: Well-shaped composition practice

Well-shaped composition is actually a form of golden section. When shooting, the picture is divided into nine parts by four virtual straight lines, and the main body is arranged at the intersection of the well-shaped composition.

-according to the relationship between subject and space, arranging subjects at different intersections will bring different visual effects. Generally, the two points above the herringbone are more dynamic than the two points below, while the two points on the left are more expressive than the two points on the right.

-you can also put the part that the subject wants to express at the intersection.

1: triangle composition exercise

If the main body of the picture is a triangle-like structure, or multiple elements can be combined into a triangle-like shape, we can make triangle composition. A picture with a triangular structure will give people a sense of stability. In photographic composition, there are not only upright triangles, but also oblique triangles and inverted triangles, which will bring different visual feelings to the picture.

-it is not required to be a standard triangle

-there are two ways to construct a triangle: first, the subject itself is a triangle-like one; Second, there are many subjects in the picture. By adjusting the shooting angle and shooting position, the triangular composition can be achieved. < P > XI: Symmetric composition exercise < P > Using the symmetrical relationship of the scene to compose a picture, symmetrical composition will often bring us a stable, formal and balanced picture feeling. Divided into: left and right symmetry, up and down symmetry

12: Frame composition

Arranging the main body in frame elements is frame composition. The frame can be a window, a tree, a car door, etc. It can also be a virtual color block line. Frame elements can focus the viewer's attention and highlight the main body, and also can increase the sense of space and layering of the picture.

-there are many forms of frame elements. Some frames are deeply hidden and need careful observation to be discovered. For example, by changing the shooting angle or position, some scattered branches are built into a frame structure, and framed composition shooting is carried out.

-the proportional relationship between the body and the frame size. If you don't master it well, forming a composition with a large frame and a small subject will give people a very abrupt picture.

XIII: Open composition

Open composition is a composition method that breaks the traditional concept of composition. It does not pay attention to the balance and rigor in the picture, but pursues to bring more imagination to people.

arrange the main content that you want to express in the picture, and cut the main body or the rest related to the main body out of the picture. In this way, when people see the main body in the picture, they will subconsciously associate it with the part related to the main body outside the picture, so that viewers can associate it from the limited picture to the outside of the picture, thus creating a larger space imagination.

XIV: Closed composition

Compared with open composition, closed composition is a completely opposite way.

A serious, beautiful and quiet picture effect can be obtained through the picture presented by closed composition. Make the viewer's eyes all focus on the subject, so that the subject can be highlighted

15: Dislocation Composition

Because of the relationship between the near and the far and the small and some special perspectives, the scenery in different spatial positions in the picture is linked together, and a very interesting dislocation effect is obtained.

In our daily life, there are many misplaced subjects that can be photographed, such as taking photos of the sun and hands before sunset; You can also shoot the toy car and the car on the road in a wrong position; You can also shoot two people with different distances in a staggered way.

The farther away an object is from the lens, the smaller the image becomes.

The closer the object is to the lens, the bigger the image becomes.

XVI: Shooting close to the subject

The famous photographer robert capa has such a famous saying: "If you don't shoot well enough, it's because you don't get close enough."

XVII: Application of Foreground

Adding foreground (foil subject) to the picture can increase the layering of the picture and avoid the picture being too dull. It is a composition method that is not difficult to operate but takes effect quickly.

XVIII: Application of contrast between light and shade

Contrast between light and shade is a composition method that makes use of obvious differences in the brightness of a scene. When using contrast between light and shade, the bright scenery can be used as the main body, and the dark background can play a good role in setting off the main body; You can also take the gloomy scenery as the main body, while the bright background is like a blank sheet of paper, which makes the main body more obvious in the picture.

Choose a good subject position: in a large-area bright-tone image, a small-area dark area will be more attractive, while in a large-area dark-tone image, a small-area bright-color area will be more attractive. We can arrange the subject we want to express in these attractive areas to highlight the subject.

reducing exposure compensation increases dark contrast effect. When the exposure compensation is not reduced, the contrast effect between light and dark is not obvious, but after reduction, the contrast is strong.

XIX: Application of contrast between reality and reality

There are two forms of contrast between reality and reality:

The first is the contrast between reality and background.

-the greater the depth of field, the larger the clear range of the picture, and the smaller the depth of field, the smaller the clear range of the picture.

-the focus of the mobile phone must be on the subject that you want to highlight.

-If you want a shallower depth of field and make the blur effect more obvious, you can make the lens closer to the subject and the background companion farther away from the lens.

by moving the shooting position of the mobile phone and shooting close to the main body of the flower, you can get a picture with a small depth of field, and the contrast between reality and reality is obvious.

The second is the contrast between reality and reflection.

You need to pay attention to the choice of shooting angle. After finding the picture of the solid scenery and shadow, you should try to change the shooting angle more to get the best picture effect.

Twenty: Subtraction in Composition

Subtract all the redundant elements to keep the picture clean and tidy. This is the law of photographic subtraction.

-Keep blank

-Change the shooting angle to avoid clutter

-Close to the subject and blur the background

XXI: Addition in composition

Photography is the art of subtraction, but actually there is addition in photographic composition. The principle of addition mainly emphasizes the story of the picture and the feelings and feelings that the picture wants to express.

addition should also keep the picture simple. Usually only add a bright spot to the picture, and keep the picture simple.

When shooting a small boat galloping on the sea, the spatial layering of the picture is not strong

After adding foreground to the picture, the spatial layering of the picture can be shown

When shooting the seaside scenery and adding foreground with guide lines to the picture, the spatial depth of the picture can be increased

If you want to make the picture more story-like, you can build the people on the beach in the picture, which is to add the picture

If you only shoot the ground, you can add the picture. There is nothing attractive in the picture

When a cyclist passes by, snap it quickly, so that there is not only the shadow of the tree in the picture, but also the shadow of the cyclist and the part of the wheel, and the picture is more artistic.
