The students who love scenery photography have different photography themes for each season. They are more suitable for shooting in the autumn. Yellow leaves, red leaves, and woods are good photo protagonists. What skills are there for shooting these photos? How should a novice prepare for shooting? Take a look at these 7 tips to give you more confidence in making beautiful autumn photos!

(a) Making good use of the characteristics of the "wide-angle" and "long-focus" mirrors

Many students may also not know the characteristics of the "wide-angle" and "long-focus" lenses. They only think that wide-angle lenses can shoot more, or that telephoto lenses can allow you to take far objects into the lens. In fact, in photography, they have some other important features:

Wide-angle lens can exaggerate "space feeling"

Telephoto lens can "compress vision and background"

That is, if the readers who want to watch the photos have the feeling of being in it, you may wish to use the wide-angle lens to shoot. You will find that the photos will be accompanied (even exaggerated) with the physical laws of "small things far and big things nearby." With the addition of a large print, you can increase the presence of your photos!

However, if you find that the far object is too small to be seen during shooting, then you can use a telephoto lens such as 200mm, 300mm, etc., and the photo's COSCO content will become almost as large as the nearest thing (or gap Small), making the front and rear scenes appear to be "compressed" together, which is best suited for shooting yellow leaves on both sides of a long road or the mountain environment full of red leaves!

The 24mm wide-angle lens makes a sense of field. If you use the super-wide angle of 16mm, you can exaggerate the effect. Use a 200mm telephoto lens to compress the front and back scenes.

(b) Using shallow depth of field to highlight the protagonist

When you walk to a jungle, or want to shoot a red leaf on a tree, if you shoot like a normal shooting scene, it is difficult to highlight the protagonist you want to shoot, leading to photos becoming cluttered and unfocused. These can use the "shallow depth of field" shooting method, first to find the protagonist to shoot, for example, is a distinctive trunk, or a beautiful and beautiful red leaves, increase the aperture, focal length, plus choose a comparison In the far background, focusing on the protagonist and pressing the shutter, your background will become blurred, and you can express the protagonist you want to shoot more effectively!

To highlight the protagonist, we can use shallow depth of field effects.

(C) Comparison of color composition

In addition to using the shallow depth of field approach mentioned in the second point to highlight the protagonist, another technique commonly used in autumn is the “color contrast method” because in the fall the leaves often become reddish yellow, yellow and full of colors, and in dark shades. Trunks, hills, or lakes form a unique color of autumn, which is a great shooting theme!

(d) Make "Autumn Color" a Set Tool

How do we express the feeling of autumn in the photo? Sometimes it is not necessary to directly use the fall element as the protagonist. Instead, you can add autumnal foregrounds or backgrounds when shooting other topics. This will make people feel more wonderful about the autumn scene!

(v) Finding textures and lines

Textures and lines play an important role in the composition or shooting theme. Of course, shooting in autumn can not be missed! A row of yellow-leaved trunks in autumn, or photographing the texture of the red leaves in the backlight, will add a special theme to your fall photo gallery.

Pay attention to the lines around you for composition!

(6) Making good use of "golden light" to make an autumn appearance

To enhance the feeling of autumn, not only in the evening, at sunset, using sidelights, the light is soft and has a golden color. According to a large yellow-leaved forest, with appropriate prospects, it can express autumn. It means!

The texture of the leaves can be seen in the backlight.

(7) Slow Shutter x Creative Composition

Try using a slower shutter (for example, 1/10s or 1/20s) and move the camera vertically while shooting to shoot the trunk. You can take abstract photos full of red and yellow!

Use slow shutter to take abstract photos!

The above shooting methods are useful not only in the autumn, but also in other different themes. With more learning and different techniques, you can shoot beautiful photos at any time!
