Introduction: Taking a good subject and turning it into a great photo is actually not as difficult as you think.
Usually it is because some details are not handled well, which affects the effect of the entire photo.
On the contrary, if there are still some minor flaws in the technical processing, but the composition of the photo is just right, you can still take a successful photo.
Below I bring some pictures to see how others compose their pictures.
How to arrange subjects of the same type 1/250 s f8 109 mm ISO 100 ?1/3 Adjacent rows of columns create the impression of a space that emphasizes the collection.
No one element stands out in the collection.
1/60 s f4 28 mm ISO 100 A collection of similar image elements extends across the entire photograph, creating upward diagonals that are interrupted only twice by ovals.
The name printed on the surface of the cup attracts the viewer's attention, but there is no real main object here.
This theme is won by the repetition of similar things, but photographing a single cup is a completely different type of theme.
1/250 s f5.6 28 mm ISO 100 The contrast between a large number of similar image elements and a single figure in the upper right corner creates the tension of the subject.
Such photos can evoke feelings of emptiness and depth, but they can also evoke a sense of loneliness and loss.
Discover textures If you are no longer satisfied with shooting the overall scene, but start shooting details, you will find that a real microscopic world unfolds before your eyes.
In fact, there are many places worth photographing on the surface of objects.
What may seem like a formal practice at first can turn you into a discoverer, and over time you will develop a huge interest in collecting.
Each material has its own unique texture, and with the addition of color and light, they will become something else.
Even without color, changes in light and shade alone can reveal the features of an object's surface.
If there are very few completely different colors in the theme, you can represent its texture well.
If you want to delve deeper into black and white photography, thinking more about texture is a great way to practice.
The restoration of color and form allows you to move from photography of specific objects to the creation of abstract (art) works.
1/250 s f11 70 mm ISO 100 Sand and water, together with the reflection of the blue sky, have formed an abstract painting.
1/60 s f5.6 12 mm ISO 100 ?1/3 Gray among grays? Only by restoring the simplest form of the scenery can people realize that the road paved with stone bricks can be so colorful.
1/90 s f7.1 35 mm ISO 100 The small point is the entrance to the photo, while the lines lead the viewer's eyes upward.
Abstract Photography When choosing a subject for photography, we always choose ready-made scenery, because only these can be photographed.
Browse online art galleries and photography forums, and you will find that they are mainly documentary photos of specific images.
From Apple to Zeppelin (a general term for rigid airships), there seems to be no scene that has never been photographed.
The challenge faced by photographers today is to find new subjects to photograph, that is, subjects that have never been seriously studied and photographed? Or to photograph ordinary subjects in a way that no one has ever seen before.
To explain from a psychological level, that is: familiar forms are easily accepted by viewers, but they will soon become boring.
At the same time, forms that are too unusual and unfamiliar will be rejected by them.
So it is best to find some kind of compromise shooting technique. On the one hand, it must be interesting to people? Because it is very novel, but on the other hand, it cannot deviate too much from people's observation habits.
1/80 s f4.5 200 mm ISO 100 The inverted and distorted mirror image of Munich’s Frauenkirche is probably not acceptable to most viewers because it looks too abstract and unique.
