It is often said that "a good photo depends on the head behind the lens". However, "being able to take pictures" is not innate. Besides learning basic composition theory, it is very important to masterObservation。
For example, if you also shoot Guang Zhouta, ordinary people may just shoot Guang Zhouta directly. People who can take pictures will take pictures of a single building with different flavors with different foregrounds and backgrounds.
Everyone starts as a novice in photography, but the works and albums they look at every day are different, forming different ideologies.
Athletes have muscle memory, and photographers also have picture memory. In some scenes, they will consciously look for "similar" framing angles.
I believe you also want to have the same observation ability as a photographer. To train your observation ability, you can refer to the following methods:
1/.
Utilizing reflective media
Observing things is not about looking around aimlessly. To know that there is something we need to have enough acuity to it.
For example, water, tiles, glass and even reflective trash cans. These reflective media are the objects that we need to focus on in our daily creations.
① Use glass
On the street, if there is no obvious perspective relationship between the buildings on both sides of the road, the normal effect will look ordinary, but if it canTake advantage of the reflective side of the window, the picture will be a little different!
② Utilize the water beach
In addition to the glass reflective surface,A beach above the groundIt is also a shooting medium often used by photographers. The symmetrical picture effect will make the architectural lines more formal and beautiful.
There are many angles to observe life, so don't just observe life from a flat perspective.In daily creation, you need to pay attention to any reflective media.
Through these common scenes, constantly exercise your ability to observe the details of life and control the picture.

Create a sense of space
In life, people's attention will always focus on characteristic objects, such as beautiful girls, bright flowers, straight tall buildings and so on.
Under this ideology, ordinary people are used to taking photos closely with their mobile phones. Don't believe me, looking through your circle of friends, many people will take close shots of flowers, food, expressions and so on.
Know that the photo is static, the viewer looks at it as a whole, and the environment around the focus will also greatly affect the perception of the picture.
People who can take photos will always associate the environment with the focus, which not only sets off the atmosphere, but also increases the visibility of photos.
① Borrow the window
For example, when shooting the scenery outside the car window, ordinary people will shoot their mobile phones close to the window, while those who can take pictures will use the car window as the foreground to compose pictures.
I believe your eyes will be attracted by the scenery outside the car window for the first time, but taking photos by borrowing the car window will make the photos richer in layers and make them a little different!
② Waiting for characters
The nature scenery is so beautiful that most friends will record everything with ultra-wide angle. Looking back at the photos, I can't feel the magnificent natural scenery.
People who can take pictures will "put" people or animals into the picture, adding a little vitality while recording the scenery, so that the scenery photos will not appear empty.
As for what person or animal it is, it doesn't really matter. What matters isGrasp the relationship between the size of objects and scenery.
The appearance of characters can not only add interesting points to the picture, but also show a wide sense of space with small lining.
The beautiful scenery won't disappear in an instant. Waiting for the characters to appear properly can make your scenery photos a little different!
③ Frame composition
In tourist attractions, ordinary tourists like to squeeze to the front or hold their mobile phones high for random shots. The photos are neither pretty nor many passers-by will be photographed.
Observant you should withdraw from noisy crowds and use door openings and windows as foreground for composition.
On the one hand, it can avoid noisy crowds, on the other hand, it can also increase the beauty of photos.

comparison
Everything in the world has different forms of existence, and using contrast method can add more stories to photos.
① New and old
There are many high-rise buildings in metropolis, and the gorgeous lights make the night scene of the city look colorful. Ordinary night scenes of the city are not unusual, but if some old things such as dilapidated windows can be combined, and two things intertwined in time and space appear in the same picture, this sense of conflict is even more intriguing.
② Big and small
In addition to the contrast between the new and the old, the contrast of size often appears in many excellent photography works.
For example, the spider-man who cleans the exterior wall of the building, the worker who repairs the Ferris wheel, the construction worker on the scaffolding and so on.
Human beings are very small in front of many things, but their petite bodies are changing the face of the world.

Special perspective
In life, we are used to looking at the world from a head-up perspective.
Sometimes when you look at the world from a different angle, you will find completely different beauty. For example, simply turning the mobile phone upside down and simulating the perspective of ants to see the world, the photos taken in this way will be more novel.
And shooting the world from a top-down angle can bring you a unique sense of freshness!
In daily life, when we stand in tall buildings, pedestrian bridges and other high places, we can try to take out our mobile phones and use this shooting angle to record pictures.
It should be noted that when shooting, try to stretch the phone outward and keep it parallel to the ground, so that the resulting picture effect is very similar to God's perspective of aerial photography!
When shooting in the afternoon, it is particularly interesting to often capture the shadows left on the ground when light and shadow pass through the environment.
People who can take pictures are not because they have professional shooting equipment in their hands, but are better at changing their viewing angles.
If you can bring the shooting ideas mentioned today to your daily creation, I firmly believe that within three months, your photography level will make a qualitative leap, and you will find more things to shoot.
Being good at observing life can not only take beautiful photos, but also make yourself and the viewer think more about life.
If the above shooting ideas inspire you, it will be troublesomeLike, watch, share!Your little moves will bring a little difference! Let's become warm mobile phone photography enthusiasts together!
