After the summer gradually passed, autumn was ushered in. For photographers, autumn is the most beautiful time of the year, and it is time to take out the camera and walk around.
How should we shoot the atmosphere of autumn? Where do we need to pay attention to autumn photography? Let’s take a look at these photography skills in autumn.
Find the perfect time to shoot. From around sunrise to 11 am is a good time to take pictures. If you want to shoot in reverse light, the best time is after 4 pm. At this point, the sun begins to set and the light becomes warmer. The color of autumn leaves will also make the photo bright and distinctive.
Learn to use a tripod. When deciding when and where you want to shoot, you can use a tripod to make the photo clearer. Generally, during sunrise and sunset, the light is relatively dark and requires a longer exposure.
So if you want to use the camera to take clearer photos at this time, try to use a tripod, it will help stabilize the camera and take clearer and more beautiful photos.
The main focus of shooting in autumn is the color changes of the leaves, so it is necessary to find a lush and diverse place for shooting. Different types of trees will change different colors at different times. In addition to the lush forest, we can also pay attention to cities or residential areas, where a park is also a good place for shooting.
Learn to find the point. There are no key landscape photos, and although the scenery is very beautiful, the picture will make people feel relatively empty. If there are autumn photos of key points in the picture, the picture will have a primary and secondary contrast, and it will not be so empty.
Scene selection is also an important photography skill. Before shooting, you should carefully look for the scene with a strong sense of presence in the picture.
Use the composition skillfully to make the scene more unique. Before pressing the shutter, you need to think more about the scenery in the viewfinder. In short, it is to arrange the subject in the most appropriate position. A good composition can not only better express the subject, but also a kind of enjoyment for the viewer.
Take a few more shots from different angles and find the one that looks the most comfortable in the composition, which may be a fool's errand, but it won't make you miss the most beautiful scene. If you want to use the sky as an integral part of the picture, you must pay attention to the proportion of the sky.
A picture with a balanced composition gives a sense of stability and harmony. The size, shape, weight, and orientation of a scene, as well as color, all have important effects on composition.
Take advantage of the characteristics of wide-angle and telephoto lenses. The wide-angle lens uses the principle of "closer is bigger and farther is smaller", which can make the viewer feel immersed in the scene, and can increase the "sense of space". If you want the person viewing the photo to feel like they are in it, take advantage of the wide-angle lens.
The telephoto lens can compress the distant view and background. If you are too far away from the subject, you can use the telephoto lens to narrow the distance between you and the subject by adjusting the focus.
