Characteristics of landscape photography

As an art, landscape photography is no longer a mechanical record of natural landscape, but a unique way of dialogue between man and nature, which artistically shows people's special feelings about nature. The following is the relevant content of the characteristics of landscape photography that I have compiled, hoping to help everyone!

First, the characteristics of landscape photography

1, covering a wide range of topics.

China has a vast territory and a wide range of landscape photography subjects. The magnificent scenery of famous mountains and rivers, the vigorous scene of industrial bases, the attractive scenery of rural fields, the brand-new look of urban construction, the customs of ethnic minorities and so on provide inexhaustible rich materials for landscape photography.

2. Deep artistic conception

Landscape photography is good at expressing feelings with scenery. They express or entrust people's thoughts and feelings through vivid descriptions of natural scenery. Therefore, landscape photos generally have deep artistic conception, which can arouse people's deep association. An experienced photographer is always good at finding the most poetic images in natural scenery and showing them on the screen with photographic art skills. Therefore, a good landscape photo is not only a simple expression of natural features, but also a simple pursuit of formal beauty and bright colors, and should have a profound theme.

3. Beautiful pictures

The beauty of nature, after the photographer's artistic conception and technical treatment, has become a beautiful landscape photo. The beauty of the picture directly serves the content of the photo. In order to express the theme of the photo in depth, scenes unrelated to the theme should not be included in the composition of the picture when shooting. Because, if you only pay attention to formal decoration, it will often reduce the appeal of photos.

4. Bright colors

All kinds of natural scenery are extremely rich in colors. When these scenes are recorded on color sensitive film, the colors of landscape photos are particularly rich and bright. Even if it is recorded on black photographic film, the level of the scene is very rich. This is another feature that distinguishes landscape photography from other photography.

Second, the shooting characteristics of landscape photography

1. Landscape photography pays attention to artistic conception. Artistic conception is the highest peak of artistic realm and the highest embodiment of the artistry of works. Artistic works must have profound expressive force and artistic appeal. It embodies the author's creative intention, and it is the author who expresses his feelings about the objective scenery by means of photography, and then conveys, influences and sighs the readers, so that the readers can produce an emotional voice.

The artistic conception of landscape photography works refers to an artistic realm in which the author's subjective thoughts are combined with objective scenery. Artistic landscape photography is an artistic picture created by the author through observation and thinking, which touches the scenery, sends feelings to the scenery, expresses feelings through the scenery and blends the scenery into one. It is inseparable from the impact of things on the heart and the inner induction of things.

2. Landscape photography focuses on finding and discovering. In this world where there is no shortage of beauty, discovery and discovery are the most important. Even if you shoot the same scene at the same shooting point, you should be able to see different beautiful scenery and grasp the best shooting opportunity.

Search and discovery is a broad concept, from macro to micro. It can be a specific shape or a thick line; It can be a bright color or a cheerful rhythm; It can be a spatial perspective or an interesting center.

Searching is a process, and discovery is a kind of creation. Seeking and discovering is an important embodiment of one's artistic creation ability. There is no shortage of beauty in the world, and there should be no shortage of eyes to find beauty.

3. Landscape photography is about innovation and breakthrough. Photography creation not only advocates being different, but also should be innovative.

Landscape photography is an art. Art has rules, and rules can be broken. But the rules must first be followed and mastered, and consciously changed on the basis of proficiency. It is possible to make innovations and breakthroughs. Therefore, learning technology well and mastering skills is the premise of innovation and breakthrough, and innovation and breakthrough are the good results of excellent technology and superb skills.

4. Landscape photography should find the right time, the right place and the right person. ? The right time and place? Is what people often say about luck? People and? This is a subjective effort. Is there an unwritten jargon for landscape photography? Three-point shot, seven points of luck? .

Timing refers to the choice of weather and light. For example, we need to shoot sunny scenery, but the atmosphere at this time is cloudy or rainy. It's not that you can't shoot on cloudy or rainy days, but you can't shoot on sunny days. For example, in Zhangjiajie and Huangshan scenic spots, clouds and sea of clouds are most likely to appear only after it rains or snows. We can learn about the weather changes through weather forecast and satellite images, and then choose the shooting time.

Accurate location refers to the choice of shooting point. The ancients said? Yamagata step by step? On the same mountain, the visual effects of distance and height are completely different. When shooting the same scenic spot, we often need to observe and compare from different angles as much as possible, and then make the best choice.

5. Scenery photography needs patience and waiting. Patience is the basic skill of landscape photography. Without patience, you will never be a good landscape photographer. Because what is the ideal light? Wait? What comes out can never be easily obtained (of course, contingency is not ruled out). Waiting requires patience in particular. Patience means that when you see or think a scene is worth shooting and the shooting conditions are not ideal, you must wait patiently until the right shooting time comes. This kind of waiting may be hours, days, months or even years. For example, The East is Red, shot by Yuan, a famous photographer in China, took several years from discovery, waiting to success. This work has long been a masterpiece of photography and recorded in the history of photography.
