If you drive through the mountains somewhere, and you notice a car parked half off the road and some guy leaning to the left to avoid a branch with his Rebel 2000 camera in the act of concentration that you have found me. I'm doing this because for me it is a journey not respond if I had that beauty for posterity. I want to do some of the techniques, the shares of landscape photography, such a wonderful art form - simple, but elegant.
First of all, equipment. Much as the cheapoCamera Disposable nod, Get Real These cameras have fisheye lenses which I call "spam" lenses. They pack all with equal blurriness and boredom. Good photos are sharp, unless Blur for artistic effect. Sharp comes from an adjustable lens. There may be a fixed or a zoom lens, but it must focus specially for each picture. Targets set are limiting for scenic pictures, where the guest might need to move over long distances under. Imagine a fixed lens on WashingtonMonument, where a half block away! Enlarge my voice, though often not as wide open, which have their skills in low-light situations boundaries.
In practical terms, an SLR is the best ever. They are lightweight and can be used with lenses of high quality. Film SLRs typically less expensive, but the boundaries of cinema, which means that they must develop them, and so on. Digital SLRs are very expensive, so for a small budget, norgo with a film SLR or a high quality basic digital camera. With digital, resolution is also a crucial factor in seeking information before buying.
OK, we have the camera, emotions are the waves, and that is great, but not too big! Sometimes I have a job, it's nice to discover that I shot like a madman, only to be disappointed by the images. What happened? Emotions. If there is a place where there are sounds, aromas and breezes as well asVisuals from the spot. Needless to say, you can not photograph all of these elements, the only visually. When overwhelmed by the spectacle of a scenic hotspot, we are often overwhelmed by all these elements.
So what? Look through the camera. The viewfinder are not (usually). Try to see what you're searching for the final image. Most people superficially to photograph in the hope that somehow the shot will be great. If you're wondering how the pictures came out when you arethe way to the pharmacy to do that, you've done something wrong. At the moment the image, you should know exactly what you get. (Of course with digital, which is not a joke!).
Now I was a bit 'wrong to say that you can not grasp all the elements of a scene. You can notice them. For starters, motion. Yes, even in a still image, there is no movement. Something has happened before, during and after your picture. In one scene, mountain scenery, you can find somethingProof that when you move, if it is a branch of a tree, which is floating in the wind or a river through the valley below. These add a sense of movement.
Then there is the "rule of thirds." When you place the main subject of the picture smack-dab in the middle, is static and boring. Given that one third of the road on both sides, and the movement involves. Put the horizon in a landscape photography third of the way up or down, not in the middle.
Remember, if a person seesTo go to a picture, their eyes. You want your picture frame that the movement will help. If you have some lines on stage as a horizon, cloud formation, path through the woods, etc., used to find interesting, and the rule of thirds to draw the eye of the beholder into the picture.
Avoid "summit syndrome." You reach the summit of Mount Washington and shoot the majestic view. Great. The images come ... boring! How? Without prospects. Big prospects are flat unless you have aForeground object, like a stone or a tree to give their perspectives. Then the eye really grasps how big this scene. People enjoy the view is a real winner, because the viewer can identify with their emotions, so that the image real impact.
Cheese! Yes, you have a family to take pictures. Is required. But if you do this, make sure to show them the location of the photo. Otherwise, you could also do it in the driveway. Context of the scene in relation to landmarks such asPart of the image. Find a way, as the story in pictures, as they say it will soon be climbing on the rocks of the waterfall.
Finally, each element of the framework that suggests more than the visual sense, is remarkable. Actor headshots for example, a story on the topic. You can almost hear them saying their next lines. When you photograph a garden, the viewer can experience the fragrance of flowers. The road tour, to have an accordion player in a corner, you canFriends wonder whistling "Dixie."
In summary, while traveling, taking photographs to record the experience so satisfying. Use motion, perspective, say, sensory, storytelling and so forth to bring your photos to life. Oh, and of course say that your work easily and places! See you at the overlook!
