Here are some ways to use the camera to improve your composition: - ** Guide the audience's line of sight **: If the picture is not guided by the composition elements, the audience's line of sight will be random. By adding elements to the composition, such as arranging the position of the subject, the audience could be guided to appreciate the work in a specific order. - [Clear Primary and Secondary Images]: The scope of the camera should be determined according to the characteristics of the lens. Once the scope of the camera is determined, the primary and secondary relationship of the image is basically determined. - ** Communicate with emotions **: Especially when shooting portraits, composition can help convey emotions, such as creating a different feeling of being suddenly enlightened through the layout of the picture. At the same time, in terms of composition techniques: - ** Nine-square grid composition **: Divide the picture into nine equal parts by using the horizontal and vertical bisecting lines, and place the subject at the "intersection" of the bisecting lines (the four intersections of the word "well"). This is the best position for the subject. - Guiding line composition method (X-shaped composition): Based on the three-way composition method, the natural lines and perspective relationship in the shooting scene are used to guide the subject to the focus of the audience. - ** Triangular composition method **: When there are three or more scenes in the picture, choose the triangular composition method. Arrange the positions of the scenes through the geometry of three points forming a plane to form a stable triangle. - ** S-shaped composition **: Make the various objects on the screen form an "S" curve. This way, the arrangement of multiple objects is rhythmic, giving people a sense of beauty and coordination. - ** Composed composition **: Enlarge the subject in close-up mode, making it fill the picture and highlight the subject, presenting compact, delicate, microscopic and other characteristics. - ** Centripetal composition **: Place the subject in the center of the picture, so that the surrounding scenery is concentrated in the center. It can strongly direct the audience's attention to the center of the subject and focus. - ** Symsymmetrical composition **: Commonly used in architectural photography. It takes advantage of the symmetrical characteristics of the building to shoot. In fact, it uses the building lines as a guide line to attract the attention of the audience to the subject. When shooting a medium shot, the focal length between the panoramic focal length and the close-up focal length (such as 50mm, 85mm, etc.) could be used as a medium shot, which had both the atmospheric characteristics of the panoramic picture and the subtle details of the close-up picture. The main point of shooting was to capture the main character's characteristics, expressions, movements, and other key points to make the scene rich in change. When shooting close-ups, you can use a telephoto lens. When the telephoto lens 'telephoto segment does not meet the composition requirements, you can get close to the subject. When shooting small things, you can also use a macro lens. The close-up mainly reflects the local details of the subject. The picture should be concise and simple, and the composition should be full and full. The shape should be handled according to the principle of "rather big than small", and the sense of space should follow the principle of "rather small than empty". In addition, when shooting characters with a mobile phone, in order to raise the height of the character, tilt the mobile phone upward; arrange the character in the three-point line on the right, the lower right four squares, etc., you can also pull down the exposure to increase the level of the picture, or use the portrait mode to focus on the scene behind the blurred character to improve the composition effect. When shooting a picture with trees and people, you can improve the composition level by avoiding the overlapping of the characters and trees, lowering the shooting angle, zooming in the picture, symmetrical composition with the trunk as the center point, changing the focal length to form a diagonal composition, or switching the horizontal screen to use 2x focal length to make the tree and the characters in the left and right three-point line composition.
