Photography is the use of various kinds of composition lens imaging characteristic and photography all sorts of modelling of means to constitute a picture of
the picture, mastering some of its basic common sense is to produce good works foundation. We in the frame, as long as a little bit move when the camera
position will find the main architecture and other objects of the relationship between the change, not to mention the subject a bit further away from the
building or nearly a bit, a little higher or lower the effect of when. Therefore, we’d better before filming in building on a circle around, look carefully
at the building’s shape characteristics, searching for the right point shooting and then choose the appropriate the lens of the focal length, in the
viewfinder carefully composition, can play the outstanding architecture subject, increase the dimensional feeling screen background and foreground
organizations in the picture, and the performance of the scenery has excluded topics.
1, choose point shooting
Theme is determined, the position of the shooting of a point becomes a picture composition influence factor, it includes the direction of the shooting,
height and distance:
Shooting direction is to point to point shooting relative shown the orientation of the building, to the performance in the picture the dimensional feeling of
building is very important. Change direction taken not only can make the picture of a building perspective image is greatly changed, still can make a
building and the surrounding environment in the relative position of the screen in change. In building positive direction shooting, the picture will produce
the clairvoyant principle of a little perspective effect, suitable for performance symmetry, grave architecture, but the building will be for lack of side
elevation and stereo feeling is poorer. The lateral, especially in front of the building to the filming was the most commonly used in architecture
photography filming location, construction has two point perspective effect, the construction of the horizon will in the picture has a perspective effect
converge diagonal lines, thus help performance building stereo feeling. And positive and lateral compared to the back of the building is often not the focal
point of design, thus in the photography also is less people key shooting, but not including facade design of the building without;
Shooting distance is to point to point shooting relative perturbation of building was distance, change shooting distance will directly influence the
composition of a picture, if there are conditions might as well when a bit nearer or away some see, maybe approached appearance after more refined, maybe a
bit further away from the more open, more can picture express the theme of the film. Generally speaking, long-range shooting performance can the whole face
of the scenery, emphasizing integral imposing manner, mid-range shot of the scenery is less than distance shooting range, while the near distance shoot the
scenery is often part of a building. Of course, stand in the same point shooting motionless, we use the transformation of the focal length of the lens to
also can make the point of narrow or large;
Shoot height is refers to the camera was taken the level of building relative height, in photography we take into flat, back the beat and take down, but for
camera always maintain a level of state architecture photography character, can understand for low point, and a half high viewpoint and high viewpoint
shooting. Low point in the ground commonly refers to shooting film, is the most common shoot height. Low shot viewpoint will make a building is tall, but in
high-rise building shooting when needed to use the perspective adjusts camera (or lens), it is hard to intake on the top of the building, or even diet also
make the ground part in photographs be superfluous; Half tall viewpoint is shown in the film close to the height of the building near the center of the film,
have the most close to normal vision of the screen, and can therefore give readers experience personally feeling; High viewpoint to clear the surface on the
sensor taken by nearly to the far layer upon layer construction group and building environment, can show the big scene of depth, it can glance.
2, observe the world with lens
The focal length of the lens is influence the picture composition and an important factor. Transform the focal length of the lens can make the larger the
lens, or narrow, visual characteristics are not possible with lens of arbitrary observation of the world.
Lens frame, scope mainly depends on the focal length of the lens, the shorter the focal length, the greater the perspective, the scope of the frame, the
broader. In order to adapt to the need of were about, on the market at present already production lens (not including panoramic camera shake head machine and
the ring) perspective is a broad range from 2 30 ‘(35 mm camera 1200 mm lens) has always been to 118 (35 mm camera 13 mm lens). In order to change the
camera frame, scope, make it according to the requirements of the picture composition to narrow or amplifier, we often use transform to the focal length of
the lens, because it can quickly and effectively improve picture composition effects, if we can reasonable use, can express taken from stronger picture.
Among them the perspective of human eye lens standard to watch the perspective of scenery; Wide Angle and the relationship of scale of the wide-angle lens
perspective will produce positive perspective distortion, exaggerated the pictures of depth perspective, use proper perspective will expand space, enhance
your visual impact, but in the past when shooting distance, we must pay special attention to the distortion image distortion, the focal length of the lens is
shorter, the more obvious the above characteristics; Telephoto lenses perspective in relationship of scale will produce the reverse perspective distortion,
compressed the picture of depth perspective, the longer the focal length of the lens, the more obvious the above characteristics.
3, perspective and the use of the background
Prospects and the background is an organic part of the picture, and the relationship between the foreground subject will directly influence the visual effect
of the picture, is cannot be neglected in the content of the composition. Appropriate use of prospects can enhance your feeling of depth, highlight the
foreground subject, so as to improve the picture artistic appeal. Architecture photography as the prospect and can use many of the scenery, such as flowers
blooming flower bed, and architectural theme photograph echo of the sculpture, rich design beautiful door, the lake humanly scaled vivid architectural
reflection and beautiful posture of the big tree and so on. Background in the role of the main composition is foil main body, abundant subject, in the
composition is also important, processing will directly influence the quality of the picture of the unified feeling.
For those who has nothing to do with the theme, even become, the destruction of the picture should avoid scenery as the prospect or background appeared in
the picture. If you have this kind of hate scenery to appear (such as the air wire, with the main body of contradictory city scenery of the adjacent building
and so on, the sauce is better than the fish) in the picture, he should continue to move the camera position, change is taken body and prospect background or
the relative position between the relationship, and that may destroy the picture of the scene out. When the subject in the background behind the body
disorderly, can reduce the cameras shoot height, lie on the ground until now. Also can change the shooting distance, or taken from the main body closer, or
taken away from the main body again, then change to the focal length of different lens, often also can get good effect.
4, the use of the line
Picture line is between two kind of picture by the boundary between the ticked off delimit come out of, has the very strong GaiKuoLi and expressive power, in
composition played an important role. There are various forms of line, such as linear (including horizontal line, vertical line, slash), curve, line, arc
line, and repeat line, and so on. Different line not only has the linear, the pattern of the formal beauty, still can produce different artistic appeal, such
as linear has forceful sense; Horizontal line can give a person with stable and quiet feeling; Vertical line can emphasize be taken of the solid body,
powerful, high sense; Has not be guided cross-court sense, especially the tilt of the gathering line on the line of sight of people have strong leading;
Curve, the circular arc wiring displays a graceful downy sense, have very strong stylability; Repeat line (on the picture there are rules repeating lines)
can enhance your rich levels of rhythm. In addition to the line has drawn between the linear and thick with fine, real and imaginary, light and strong cent.
Strong thick, thin line weak. Solid line is static, the article the dotted line move; Light line light, strong line is heavy. In composition should as far as
possible to make full use of the formal beauty line and their artistic appeal, through the elaborate design to improve the artistic quality of picture.
