Photography composition — nuances

Often we take into account the clouds in the sky the rendering of the atmosphere, taking into account the differences caused by the color temperature, color change, at this time, we also noticed some photography composition nuances? obviously, everything is not realistic. However, at times, suddenly aware of the details of a more or less they themselves feel something embarrassing or even ashamed. I someday, often we take into account the clouds in the sky the rendering of the atmosphere, taking into account the differences caused by the color temperature, color change, at this time, we also noticed some photography composition nuances? obviously, everything is not realistic. However, at times, suddenly aware of the details of a more or less they themselves feel something embarrassing or even ashamed. One day, I went to shoot is located in the southwest corner of the Forbidden City Tower, has discovered a was I overlooked details more than ten years. In fact, the day before, I never considered the subtleties.

My family lives in shichahai nearby, walk to the forbidden city is just ten minutes.

So, okay, I often carry cameras, along the outer walls of the forbidden city idling. Southwest corner of the Tower, I shoot a lot. I like the tower and its reflection in the water in the middle of the screen, the wall across from the flinger, forming a flat "ten". Although this type of composition is no innovation, or even too "square", too "sluggish" and too "postcard", but I'm tired of it. Morning, evening, sunny, cloudy, across film, the end, it sometimes took one of local, came home one splice into great photos. The following two photos taken in May last year, respectively (Figure 1) and October (Figure 2).

They say that people are fascinated by photography for a pair of different eyes, they looked like an eagle, keen observation of the world, quickly capture a fleeting images.

Then, you can see above, the difference between the two photos? awareness of things always start from the curious, when things become commonplace, people will be accustomed to it. Gradually, from "accustomed" blind eye "to" until finally on the side of things "insensitive". If you reach this step, then these people on this thing is basically the observation capacity "temporary disability" status. "They put themselves on the trees of limited recognition of the General characteristics, arduous by the trunk, branches and leaves, they are what tree species: oak, willow, is to the ELMS, Apple trees, pine trees or Maple. A lot of people for each tree itself of indifference "(Note 1).

This kind of "tabs" observation, also will penetrate into filming, always accompanied by the photographer.

This is every photographer in the need to constantly overcome. The above two photos in landscape, we usually can be seen. A shot at night, one day, a night view, one is side light, there is no cloud in the sky, and are based on an even keel composition ... This is the difference between the "tabs" (or similar), is anyone in the press the shutter before taking note of the details. "The National Palace Museum" and "tower" or "walls" of these specific label will stubbornly appeared in our minds, persistent; light, color changes let us immersed in the beautiful scenery, can't wait to hear the shutter open closed issue of "sentries" sound, as if that kind of sound you can through our souls so that it floats, comfort and relief. However, it is in this kind of "hybridity" urging, we often overlook some small adjustments.

In order to eliminate these factors, I will simplify the two photos are lines look at the difference (Figure 3, Figure 4).

Please note that in Figure 3 red vertical bars (serving as reference guides).

This down you can see that I am ashamed of the subtlety of the bar: May 2000 photos, Tower of corners, the corner of the city walls and city building corners was not in a straight line; figure 2 is out, I realized that in mind. This problem was always makes one minute. In the past month, I contacted photographers, including carrying expensive professional equipment, also not a note of the details. I always worry that there will be some showing off, so be careful on what they said: "I think the station at that location, you can align middle." From their facial expression see, they're shooting also ignores the details, at the same time they'll understand what I mean.
