What are the skills of photography?

What are the expressive techniques of landscape photography? 1. Know the time: There are broad and narrow meanings. Broadly speaking, it refers to seasonal spring, summer, autumn and winter. As we all know, flowers and trees that decorate nature with colorful colors change with the weather and climate. Therefore, the scenery of the same place has different scenic features in four seasons (such as Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan and Huangshan in Anhui, etc.). ), and with the change of seasonal climate, it presents various postures and is unpredictable. Even the clouds floating in the sky are spectacular wonders, and the clouds are directly related to rain and fog. This is a common sight in nature, but the shapes and potentials of clouds and rain are actually different in four seasons. Therefore, in order to express nature and have typical scenery, we must carefully analyze and deeply understand this broad sense of "time" in order to effectively grasp the correct time. In a narrow sense, "time" refers to a day from morning to dusk, even at night. The most important condition for photography is light source, but the light source for shooting natural scenery is the only sunshine. Therefore, this unique light source is beyond the photographer's control, so we should make good use of it. First of all, we should understand the direction and source of seasonal light and the possible places and positions of projection. Generally, we only know that the sun rises and sets in the west, but in fact, the rising and falling direction moves with the seasons, so the change of light also directly affects the effect of the picture. In winter, the sun rises in the south and the projection is in the north. However, in summer, the sun rises in the north and shoots south. Their positions change very little, just like the sun rises from due east in a year, only for two days (March 2 1 vernal equinox, September 23 autumnal equinox), changing by 0.258 degrees every day. The influence of light source on scenery, even if it is only a slight difference, is very different. Therefore, the projection direction of the only reliable sunlight for shooting natural scenery is not only clear, but also absolutely important. 2. It means observing the whole environment and situation at the scene. As we all know, when we are in the embrace of nature, our eyes are full of scenery and chaos. Those should be deleted and those should be selected. As for the shooting location and the best viewing angle, we can't make a decision in a hurry. To this end, we must be careful and patient, not tired of it, nor afraid of it, and discuss it from any position and angle. In-depth observation and silent observation, combined with accumulated experience, choose the ideal angle to shoot the scenery that has been drawn up in your mind, and then carefully cut it. The so-called tailoring means paying attention to the smallest place and not neglecting it. No matter what grass, stone, branch or leaf it is, it should be included in the scope of scrutiny. Because those seemingly insignificant things and unimportant places in the open situation often play an extreme role in construction and destruction when it comes to the perfect requirements of a work. Therefore, the scene selection and shooting should be quite detailed. Huang, a painter, said, "To visit the mountains and play with water, we should not only move the sky, but also calm the old monk." It means that we should have great enthusiasm for the scenery in front of us, walk around tirelessly, observe and discover the scenery, and then think about it often, get to know the scenery in front of us, so as to understand these scenery. The painters also said, "There are many kinds of peaks, so there are many kinds of weather. Just like a person, there are hundreds of people. " Therefore, when we observe the mountain landscape, we don't just stay on the surface, but pay more attention to the momentum and local characteristics of the mountain landscape. Hao Jing, a painter of the Five Dynasties, said, "Seek the wonderful and create the true". Wonderful means objective existence, and seeking is the author's subjective effort. These are the experiences of previous artists, which is an insult to us. 3. When it comes to expressing its essence, we all know that everything has its unique essence, especially those who shoot natural scenery should deeply understand the essence of flowers, grass, wood, stones and mud that fill the whole natural environment, and then be familiar with and master its essence, so as to be effectively reproduced in pictures and photos. In the narrative of our photography, the so-called "texture" means that when expressing a scene or thing, it is not just the outline of its appearance, but the important purpose is to express a qualitative feeling, with bones and flesh. The word "Wei" has a wide meaning, as if it were majestic and strange. When shooting mountains and towering trees, we can use the lens angle to realize the composition of "Wei", or we can use the method of contrast to make "Wei" more obvious. Another meaning of "Wei" can also be extended to beauty, highlighting the most beautiful scenery, and it is also within a category of "Wei". So, how do we take pictures of the scenery to see its "greatness"? The key is to grasp the characteristics and style of the landscape. Huangshan, for example, has four characteristics: sea of clouds, clouds, strange pines and strange rocks. But when we look at the big picture, there will be 36 peaks and 36 small peaks, each with its own strange risks; If we look a little farther, there will be many gloomy forests and quiet and deep valleys. If you pull your eyes back to your side, there will be many free small scenes, all of which are very charming. As for the name of Mount Emei, it lies in its pale beauty, and the green hills can be called quiet. As for the five mountains, they are just magnificent. Guilin, known as the best landscape in the world, is even more invincible than Yangshuo in Guilin, just because the mountains are steep and the water is clear. Therefore, when we enter the famous mountains and rivers, we must rely on our own eyesight and experience, but this experience is the early artistic accomplishment. Without these qualities, we can't find the most beautiful side of the scenery. Using the kinetic energy of the camera lens, we can only get some documentaries that have been here.
