Seascape photography skill

The sea is rich and colorful natural elements, this not is the beauty of the human destruction is undoubtedly photographer’s favorite subject. Today we are going to teach you a few good seaside shooting skills. Whether you like scenery, macro, portrait or ecological, here will find a lot of useful skills and ideas. This autumn, let's go to the seaside, shooting that you may be overlooking scenery.

Broaden your horizons

Theory of wide field of vision, there are few scene can be compared with horizon images. But want to capture this picture, in addition to need a pair of eyes to find beauty, also need a little preparation.

Priority is to the destination and travel time, before shooting plan of work to do, really reach the location, can leisurely filmed scenes you need. If you shoot the sunrise, you should look for east beach; if you shoot the sunset, you should find the West beach. Even shooting scenery during the day, the sun angle also has a huge impact on the picture effect. As far as possible choose low Angle of the sun of the day when, at that time the light is more soft, color and more dramatic, together with the reflective surface, can present a more abundant details.

After arriving at our destination, you need to consider the composition. Grasps the center of interest, guide lines, such as the basic principles of composition, it won't be a big mistake, but don't miss a chance of trying new perspective because of the conservative. From a low Angle along the coast from both interesting prospects to attract eyeball, can show rich clouds, and commanding heights such as standing on the cliff, can show the momentum more grand beach and the sea. It is difficult to shoot the level of the sea, to the ground, rocks, and the sky as the foreground and background, to foil the broad sea.

Polarizer is a key to make the same blue sky and sea. Polarizer and ash density in the mirror, you need to adjust the Angle of the filter, can achieve the desired effect. By rotating polarizer dark sky, can make the white clouds in a more prominent in the deep blue, increase the visual impact of the picture. In addition, in reducing water reflective polarizer, also have unexpected effect, let the water looks more deep.

Using ultra wide Angle lens with a polarizer, sky exposure inequality problem may come up. Use full of SLR lens focal length is less than 24 mm or the whole picture of SLR lens focal length less than 18 mm and four thirds system, you need to pay attention to whether the sky appear inconsistent depth phenomenon. In some cases, polarizer can also be used to reduce the camera shutter speed, such as film diffusion of water in the hot sun, need a slow shutter speed, if you take a piece of grey density in the mirror, plus polarizer, can let the slower shutter speed.

Taken at the beach, don't have to be in the water as the theme, flowers blooming on land can also be called a good subject, this photo, we will be flowers as the body of the picture, while the water as a background picture middle sea delivery place can serve as a guide line, the line of sight of you into the distance. When filming pay attention to the collocation of color and shape.

The use of scenery photography, the outlook is very important. Make good use of prospect, can make the picture have layers, the composition is full. Prospects for using error, leading possibly to an imbalance picture, a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role. This photo, the prospects of rocks occupy space, although is not very big, but let the picture seem to be very balanced, warm sunshine in the above, and middle distance vision, very harmonious.

Where shooting scene, sunrise and sunset view of the short time is not to be missed. At this time, the light of the sun is very warm, and tilt Angle is very big, it leaves shimmering water on the surface of the water. You can use a telephoto lens close-up, or right in this, looking for the right prospects, waiting for the sun to reach the right position, press the shutter.

If you don't want to on the soft sand, you can walk around in, such as climbing the mountain, next to Shanghai looking for a panoramic view overlooking the commanding heights. Taken from a height it is easy to appear prospects empty, so it is important to pay special attention to the composition.

The sea, if there is no reference, cannot reflect it’s broad. We can use the ships of the sea as a reference, such as performance by means of comparing the level of the image, also can take the coastline, with a deep way, off the coast of long performance. It is very important to take such pictures, color contrast,
