Snow photographing face interview

This article primarily through the snow to shoot in the face of composition, light, exposure, color, etc., combined with practical examples provides a detailed explanation, is well worth a look.

Ice and snow is a major feature of the winter.

Winter sports photography is the photographer who loves a creative theme. Handonglayue, when the snow, the snow-covered land, it is an opportune time to winter photography. However, the winter photo shoot a lot, really impressive masterpiece but seldom very little. In particular, photography enthusiasts, see snow heart with joy, shooting up even more excited, but flushing out of photos but rarely satisfied with, often with the vision and ideas far. The reason I'm afraid is not master the essentials of the shooting, the particularity of the snow and ice is missing the understanding of photography. In response to these conditions, combined with many years experience of shooting and snow, on ice and snow photography essentials, communicate with fans. Selected filming scenes of winter and the other shooting, selected scenes are very important. Selected scenes including scene selection, choice of foreground and background, as well as the subject in the screen position and size, etc. Scene selection: scene means panorama, zhongjin, close-up, and many other scene. Select vision and perspective, and other big scene, its aim is to show the momentum, manufacturing, let readers looking to enjoy the vast ice and snow world or snowy mountains TA. Photos of the paektu ", taken in the Changbai mountain, snow, mountain, more spectacular male insurance (see figure a Zou army photo).

Select zhongjin, typically to display other scenes in the snow.

Photos of the mountain village those footprints "is a picture, a distant zhongjin plateau in a thin layer of snow-covered, it looks very clean, few Tsuchiya and few trees as the principal is in a position in the partial, against a white background, is quite striking. And everything seems unusual tranquility, these are specific to those footprints zhongjin atmosphere (see Photo 2). If the roof of the chimney smoke of the incense, or in the housing estate ran out after a couple of big dog or some head of livestock, the calm will be broken, it will have a certain dynamic.

Features, is to highlight a point in the snow, or a special significance, or in some features on the artistic scene.

As thick snow down with a bright red fruit or a flower, or even a piece of yellow leaves, or a tree, stone, as long as the chosen, and have a certain aesthetic and artistic expression, are likely to be successful. Photo of the "pine" is snow settle, close-up of pine needles loose straight up, snow-covered in pine trees and branches, without affecting the image of the tree of self-cleaning, showed a strong high pressure is not bent to the independence of the spirit (see Figure 3).

Prospects of choice: shoot snow-covered winter multi-select the scenery for prospects to show snow texture and snow's unique environment.

Old photographer Yang in Jilin photographed the Songhua River fog pine ", is the pure tree hanging as foreground, create a white snow environment and atmosphere (see Figure 4). However, sometimes the colors concentrated dark scenes as a prospect, to bring the world of ice and snow white and pure. Photos of the snow ", is to choose dark black tree branches as prospects, Rod and White Earth in stark contrast, but don't have the charm and taste (see Figure 5).

Figure 4 figure 5

In General, if the screen is a large area of white snow, as background to its definition without very accurate, because the white snow and ice to human visual perception is not entirely clear.

As the prospect of a foil should be focusing on the scene, making it a strong definition so that the black and white contrast and image contrast to watch and excess Visual a strong stimulation, has a profound feeling and beautiful impression, this is what we usually refer to artistic impact. If the screen area is vast, snow, prospect and a virtual paste images, distinguish is unclear, then the Visual effect is more blurred (see Figure 6-the snow in autumn).

Figure 6 background choice: choice of the background, as the winter photography, undisputed by silver and snow in the background, or you can call the winter photography? but it also depends on what kind of snow scenery shot, if you are photographing fall scene of falling snow, or snow falling at the snowline, they will choose the background color is darker, otherwise the snowflakes and snow background with snow and ice, formed by melting together, can't tell each other.

Photographer Xu Fang filmed the snow with the Bell ", if not a dark background, dancing in the snow will not have the effect of brilliance and Jan now (see Figure 7). The Opera snow in if it is not a deficiency of the gray background, paste in the foreground of the snow on the tree is not visible, it will not be formed snow atmosphere (see Figure 8).

The principal location of arrangement: in winter photography, the principal can be snow, snow and ice can also be not, it is very likely that that person or other features.

No matter what the scene as the main body, the body in the screen should be arranged in any location? answer the question you want to see specific to what features to be taken, author and subject to what the author intended to characterize the theme, the object of the real presence and author's main idea combine, they are identified in the screen location. Photos of the skating ", the mainBody is skating, designed to demonstrate its Xiao sprinkles freely and taxi speed, so the above in the ice, the prospects of large white is the ice, to give readers a clear snow and ice conditions. At the same time in the skaters of faces forward leaving large areas of white space to give room for sliding forward. This arrangement, not only have a certain amount of visual sensation of movement, and it seems to make people feel comfortable nature (see Figure 9).

Figure 9 photos of the ancient theatre, the principal is those footprints in a shabby old stage, author-time put it at the bottom of the vertical picture, near the bottom border lines, so that viewers feel stage is worn, but also more stable.

This kind of experience from the bottom of the screen to pass out a solid foundation for information, so as the principal of yundan arrangements in this position it very well (see Figure 10).

Figure 10

The above example can be seen, in the winter photography in the main location of the arrangement, no one died in the frame, but by the idea of cosplay and flexible conception.
