Master to teach you how to shoot a large scenery
Chris Tennant is a good shooting scenery photographer, also a physicist, so when he was making art, canvas prints nz will join their scientific thinking in the works. As a photography control, Tennant often uses unique photographic technique in the creation, which also makes his work look more beautiful and creative.
Here to tell you Chirs shooting natural scenery tracts of five skills.
1. Try Macro
Use macro can make life in small objects full of broader impact. Even if you take just the usual sparse flowers, printing auckland try the camera close to the subject, you will get a more dramatic picture. Use macro shots of flowers given to human beings as insects horizons, give you countless imagination, but also make your photos more innovative.
Pictured above thistle taken in botanical gardens. Although it looks flowers showing a barrel distortion, but not the use of a fisheye lens, but the use of the Canon 100mm macro lens to complete the creation.
In this very close macro conditions, also want to ensure that the hand-held camera to get a clear and sharp picture, you must use a fast shutter speed. Thus, the camera's aperture should be sufficient so as to cause the screen to produce a shallower depth of field. Special peripheral blur is giving a barrel distortion effect, which is the macro to the photographer brings surprises.
At the same time, the surrounding blue macro photography makes it easier to focus on prominent photo, make small objects look more shocking subject.
2. Directional blur your photos
Sometimes the virtual shot does not necessarily represent a bad thing. Pictures with the screen blur of static scene will make more art, more vivid. For example, the above picture, originally just an ordinary woods. But Chris to use the creation of a low-speed shutter, the shutter is pressed while in the vertical direction to nudge the camera that makes the picture of the woods in the vertical direction to produce a blur. This makes the already very common in the woods suddenly had a fleeting mood.
This creative techniques like the scene in front of contour and color as the brush, on the imaging element through the camera's 'smear' the scene, resulting in an abstract surreal images.
Chris In practice, this technique can be used to repeatedly photographing landscapes. Because the hand movement range of the unpredictability of such footage will be different each time, which is exactly what the fun of shooting. You are never sure what will be the next picture after the shutter is pressed.
Clever use of multiple exposures manufacturing blur can also make your photos more vivid. For instance, following picture. Chris when shooting the lens at the center of the flower beds. And multiple exposure at this point will be. Note that, after each exposure, he would rotate the camera proper perspective again press the shutter.
Obtaining five or six clips, the camera 'multiple exposure function' automatically synthesizes these pictures, and then erases the pictures overlap. Finally, we will have these effects in this picture.
Chris told us this photograph taken with a blur for a more design sense. Otherwise the picture will become blurred, to identify the body cannot make. In these two works, he boldly used the contract and the rules of the line between colors.
For example, the first picture, the color of dark trees silhouetted against the bright background, making the outline of trees visible. In the second picture, the equal advantage of the comparative approach. White, blue and white flowers and green grass high degree of recognition in the picture, plus flowers are arranged like concentric circles, the composition does not lead to confusion feeling to others.
3. Long Exposure
Long exposure captures the trajectory of moving objects, this technique is applicable to the landscape photography will make your photos look more grand and dramatic increase. Pictured above is Chris using prolonged exposure shooting is completed. The picture is bright spot in a long period of time clouds moving in the sky clouds in the sky at the track, the photosensitive element clear record. The last picture showing the passage of time gives a sense of the influence, as if the clouds overhead and galloped off, enhanced landscape photography shocking.
Nonetheless, the photo was taken during the day. Even reduced to the minimum aperture, the shutter may still be difficult to less than 1/100 sec. So Chris in front of the camera fitted with a reduced light microscopy, to aid in reducing the amount of light, so that the exposure time was extended to 60 seconds.
Under similar lighting conditions, Chris is still done using light microscopy following this seaside landscape photography. However, contrary to the above expression goes clouds dynamic effect in this picture, the unprecedented fluctuations in the water looks completely still. After 90 seconds of exposure, the surface of the water like a silky satin tiles above the sea, giving a different kind of unchanging beauty.
Note that, in order to ensure the long time exposure can still get a sharp picture, use a tripod and cable release auxiliary shooting.
4. Use a telephoto shooting landscapes
Regardless of the fact that mainstream landscape photography is the use of wide-angle lens to show the natural landscape grand and magnificent, but a telephoto lens can also make your beautiful piece shine. Telephoto lens unique opinion will make a picture look compressed, so the scene look more dense, reducing the distance between the eye and the sense of the subject. These characteristics often make a telephoto lens to shoot out of the scenery cover fewer elements, looks concise and focused.
Chris was at the same location with a telephoto and wide-angle shots of the two photographs, as we demonstrate the differences between the two camera angles. You can see, the main (top) as the second (bottom) part of the photo shots, no more than superfluous sky and rock, with only the distant mountains propped up the entire screen. At the same time, the original compressed depth of field emergence of a sense of solitude valley.
Note that when thinking i need a telephoto lens to shoot scenery is best to use a tripod, because in the case of long focal length lens even the tiniest shake will be exaggerated amplification.
5. Let the sun flowing into the picture
We often see portraits, the photographer will shoot the sun brushing hair or cheek screen model, because this scenario would give people a sense of beauty and warmth. Similar shooting style, but also for landscape photography. Before shooting you need in order to pay attention, do not aim the camera at bright sunlight shot, because the sun can damage your sensor, while harmful to eyesight. There may want to select the setting sun time, such as early morning or afternoon.
The above picture was made in the afternoon in New York Adirondack State Park. Chris before shooting remove the UV mirror front of the camera, because any filter when photographing the sun can cause glare, affects the picture. In order to capture the beautiful star light, we cannot let the sun over exposure. So use a small aperture to shoot, and a high-speed shutter. Nevertheless, sometimes this parameter configuration will cause prospects too dark, so the photographer will open the flash, fill light for the foreground.
